Expert reviews and ratings

Football Manager 2021 combines the best elements of previous games and undergoes a dramatic improvement that cuts deeper than the superficial. It’s heavy, detailed, and been given a new texture by a more personal take on management.

Football Manager 2021 is a winner and a real worthwhile upgrade not only for those who played the previous game but also those who might have lapsed in recent years. This is the most realistic version yet, with deeper player interaction and more varied communications with your team and key staff making you feel even more like a real manager.

FM21 is a massive step up from an already cracking year before. It's hugely detailed and extremely well thought out. It's nicer to look at, easier to understand, and easier to play, regardless of the depth with which you choose to play it. Just as a sim in itself, the sparkle of football placed aside, it's a wonderful achievement. Football included? Sensational.
