Podsumowanie YNG x FM w FM 2024

- -

YNG Football Manager has concluded its activities for this year’s edition of Football Manager following the postponement of the FM 2025 release from November 2024 to March 2025. To mark the occasion, the organisers have shared a few interesting facts and figures with you, which we will outline below. Football Manager is a time-consuming game, and even more so if you’re playing the Multiplayer career mode, which is why those taking part in this tournament play so-called ‘sessions’ – that is, a date is agreed upon when everyone logs in and a portion of the season is simulated, which is not always the same and is referred to as a session. Over the course of the year, we managed to play 12 seasons. Given the number of people in the league, this is a pretty good result considering that players sometimes had to wait for the other person to make a move – which made everything drag on, but FM players like that.

It was quite a good and exciting adventure. It’s a shame we didn’t get back to writing articles sooner – it would have been quite a good experience to keep up to date with this project, although our owner has been following the project since the start of the league in FM 2024 anyway.

We’re looking forward to the next edition in Football Manager 2025, provided the game supports multiplayer and is playable, because as you may or may not know – the game is switching to a new engine. An interesting fact is that we won’t be able to take charge of the national team in the game; this feature should return in FM 2026.
