SEGA has revealed two new main features for the upcoming Football Manager 2022. The two features in question improve replication of transfer deadline day and how we communicate with staff.
As a football fan, I love transfer deadline day. It’s an exciting day hoping to see your team buy some new players before the deadline passes. Though I’m sure some non-football fans might not get that appeal.

In terms of communication with in-game staff, we can now arrange weekly meetings, talk player development, training regimes and much more.

It seems that the Football Manager series gets more advanced with each year’s release, and FM22 looks to be no exception.
Courtesy of the official press release, details on the two new headline features can be found below.
Transfer Deadline Day
A revamped Transfer Deadline Day experience in FM22 better replicates the drama and excitement of one of the most chaotic fixtures in the football calendar. Managers will be better informed of the latest done deals, rumours and offers from agents in a new Deadline Day hub.
It’s also easier for managers to master the transfer market in the whirlwind of Deadline Day activity. Dedicated screens allow managers to monitor interest from other clubs in their players, capitalise on players whose contracts are close to expiring and see which players have been newly transfer listed.
Revamped UI elements breathe more life into the spectacle of Deadline Day such as a countdown timer to the end of the transfer window that features prominently throughout the day and a ticker bar revealing the latest breaking transfer news.

Staff Meetings
Staff Meetings streamline your interactions with key members of managers’ backroom team to give them more time to focus on the elements of management that matter to them. Based on insight from football professionals, Staff Meetings are a weekly fixture in your calendar that allows managers to better organise their pre-match preparation, long-term player development goals and their team structure.
Managers will have the ability to action their backroom team’s advice from within the meeting along with a suite of new functionality additions to maximise the input from their backroom staff.
Football Manager 2022 will release for PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch on November 9th. It will also launch on day one on Xbox Game Pass.
