• Update 0.1.4 is live - 23 August 2026

  Hi everyone!After a week of work, here comes the biggest update since the Early Access launch. These are all the changes.Match engine and managerThe simulation engine is fairer. Upsets still happen, but a top team will rarely end up in the bottom half of the table.More shots are taken per match, bringing the numbers closer to real football.When you face smaller teams or your league position is already settled according to your objectives, the manager will start giving minutes to squad players.The manager now uses his communication attribute to soften the morale drop of players who are not getting game time.Managers now have up to three favourite tactics, ordered from most to least preferred.

• New Update 0.1.3 - 17 August 2026

  Hey everyone!As you know, we've spent this entire first weekend collecting the bugs you've been reporting. We've implemented a lot of fixes and a few new improvements. Here's the full list, ordered by importance:1. AutosaveWe've removed the save options from the game settings: with this update the game saves automatically after every match and at regular intervals, so you'll always have three save files from three different points in time.2. InvestmentsInvestments now return your capital plus interest when they mature. Previously they stayed in place permanently and you never got your investment back.3. League AssemblyFixed many issues with the Assembly: it now loads faster and lets you keep voting after the second time, so you no longer have to fall back on quick simulation.Fixed several translation errors throughout the Assembly section.4. MatchesFixed an issue where line-ups weren't…

• Performance, Transfers and Youth Academy: New Update - 11 August 2026

  We've just released an update that's small in content but comes with one big addition: the improvement we promised for September is already here, available in 0.1 and in the demo. The game feels much smoother and database reads are far faster. On top of that, here's what's new:Transfer market in lower divisions. Getting offers used to be very difficult because of player quality. It now works correctly.Automatic wage reduction on relegation. Adjusts the wage bill to the club's new finances and prevents clubs from folding after dropping a division. (Affects 0.1)Staff reports on players. Thousands of new lines that adapt to each player's current situation, adding depth the reports simply didn't have before.Three save slots. One current save and two backups dated from the previous month, so you always have a safety copy.Fixed the contract negotiation screen title. It showed "Contract negoti…

• FD 27 DEMO - New Update - 31 July 2026

  We've just released the new update that fixes some of the issues players detected over the last month. These updates are already included in version 0.1. Here's the list of all the improvements, at least the ones we remember ;)The number of injuries has been regulated. With the addition of knocks, the number of injuries increased wildly in the previous update, so we've reduced it to make it more realistic.The economy of all clubs has been adjusted.Assembly fines are now forecast from the financial balance so users don't get caught by surprise at the end of the year. This doesn't apply so much to the demo, but it does to the full game. This way, if you don't comply with one of your league's laws, you'll be able to know how much you'll have to pay and, above all, whether you'll end the year in the red.Salary negotiations and the wage demands of new signings have been adjusted. Previously…

We've been working hard to improve the experience ahead of the v0.1 launch, and here are all the changes arriving today.⚡ PERFORMANCE: 75% FASTER DAY PROGRESSION This was the main pain point reported by the community.

The game now feels much snappier and smoother.💼 NEW NEGOTIATION SCREEN FOR INCOMING OFFERS When another club comes for one of your players, you'll no longer be limited to just accepting or rejecting.
