I'll be buying it, like I do every year - but that was a bit of an underwhelming feature preview. In saying that, I'm intrigued by the WCB role. Hopefully they'll reign in some of the slalom solo counter attacks we've seen in FM21 - otherwise the back three is in for a torrid time. The data hub also looks interesting. Hopefully we'll see more in the coming weeks. In all honesty though, with the last year and a half we've had - I'd be happy just to see some of the longstanding issues sorted out.

That's what I'm currently doing and for the first time since December - I'm actually enjoying the game. Probably more me than the game, but I haven't really enjoyed FM21. I think I played too much FM20 during lockdown and should have taken a bit of break. A few months in to FM21 and It just felt like I was going through the motions a bit.

Anyone else seeing consistently low ratings for fullbacks?

They're currently third in my save (first season), 7 points of the top with 13 games to play. They also won the League Cup, beating Arsenal 3-2 in the final

I'm finding it the same as Beta - really good.

No big screen in the corner - which was a relief. Big screens just ruin the lower league grounds. Now that more corner related buildings/objects have been added to the games - I thought this would have been toned down a bit.

I love the open terraces of this one. Station Park, home of Forfar Athletic. Have to say, some of my favorite smaller grounds in FM can be found in Scotland's League 1 and 2.

Always thought it a shame the there were no running tracks in FM. Europe and further a field has some great stadiums with tracks around them. Anyway, here's one from England, the Gateshead International Stadium. Better known for athletics, we see it here as the home of Gateshead FC of the National League North.

Queen's Park in the Scotish League 2. Now professional - should be a fun save.

When setting up my manager, I set my preferred tactical style as control possession. However, when I start a game, my profile says my tactical style is route one. I've tried with several test saves now and all appear to default back to route one.

I am doing something wrong? When setting up my manager, I set my preferred tactical style as control possession. However, when I start a game, my profile says my tactical style is route one. Anyone else having this problem?

You can also edit certain parts of the stadium (capacity of each stand, seats/standing, etc) in FMTRE.

The Alberto J. Armando Stadium, Buenos Aires. Home of Boca Juniors. I have to say, this one looks great. Okay, doesn't quite have the iconic 'flat' stand of La Bombonera - but the rest of it is a good representation. Those floodlights set it off to a tee.

Here's the Korinn Stadium, Iceland. Home of HK. Nice little ground, though nothing like the real one - which is an indoor stadium (FM lists it as having a retractable roof). Love the flags hanging from the building - nice touch!
