Save 5: Schalke 04 Very much a club on the rise, Schalke have made their way back to the Bundesliga after lifting the 2.Bundesliga last season - can you keep them up and then kick on into the European places?

Save 4: Inter Milan Women While Inter's men have tasted glory, their women's team is relatively young, having only been formed in 2018 - can you bring them to the same glories as their male counterparts, winning their first scudetto and going on to dominate Europe?

Save 3: FC Rosengård In the 2024 season, Rosengård won 24 of their 25 league games, winning the title at an absolute canter; last season, they almost got relegated! Can you stabilise this Scandinavian giant, and take them back to their glory years?

Save 2: Sevilla Once a regular European competitor, Sevilla have fallen down the pecking order both domestically and on the continent, being overtaken by neighbours Real Betis. Can you reclaim the City?

Save 1: The basket case Manchester United. That is all. Fix them.

We need to talk about #FM27 Specifically, 5 of my ideas for your first save! I've gathered up some shorter-term saves that give you just enough to do during the launch preview not a beta maybe a beta early access half-free period...

this poor lad's heads fallen off

would argue he's got toes on the ground at his release point (the ball's in the air the frame after)
