In Part 1 of our first FM Experiment series of FM23, we introduced you to the intriguing format of the custom European Super League database and took control of Vélez Sarsfield, who are at the very bottom of this mammoth new format.
The more cynical among you out there may hypothesise that the new Champions League format is the natural first step towards the European Super League. So we tested out a new format in our first FM23 Experiment.
Big Sam's final set of options in this Bottom At Christmas series included one standout team as West Ham propped up the Premier League with just 12 points.
Season 5 of Bottom At Christmas might be the toughest task yet with FC De Metz bottom of Ligue 1 with just 2 wins and having only scored 10 goals. However, they were only 3 points from safety.
Having assessed his options, and having already managed in England and Germany, Big Sam decided it was time to tick off a new country. Because Allardici was headed to Italy.
After last season's dismal conclusion, Big Sam was keen for a bit of Bundesliga redemption. So he decided to take over at 1. FC Union Berlin, who were very lucky to survive in 2024.
Six months on from Saints glory, Big Sam holidayed ahead, spent a few months in the Caribbean topping up his tan and was now ready to discover the second team in this FM Experiment.
This year, we're bringing the Bottom At Christmas experiment back but on a bigger scale, with leagues in England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain available to choose from. First up, is Southampton!
Our previous Football Manager Experiments focused on World Cup 2022 saw England perform pretty well, so we thought it would be fun to take on the challenge ourselves. Can we lead England to success at Qatar 2022?
Our previous experiment tested which team would win World Cup 2022 according to Football Manager 2023. But - mainly due to the fact that USA reached the previous final - we wanted to test which country was most likely to win the World Cup based on a few more trial runs.
