The end is nigh in Germany as we get through the penultimate month of the Bundlesliga where, somewhat surprisingly, results of improved a bit for both Frankfurt and Augsburg.

At least that's what the game would like you to think before it transpires that Shane's still under press while Ken's good run of form - up until the moment you hit save and close the game - looks like it's evaporated and the timing couldn't be worse with Chelsea on the horizon for the Europa League knockouts.

Leipzig and Dortmund also feature but if there's not much good news to be found in Germany, there's hope in the FM 22 universe as Shane finds himself in not one but two cup finals this week as his multiverse run continues.

We'll also get more updates from around the FM community and start looking ahead to what or where we might go for season 11. Thoughts on a postcard please to podcast@fmfshow.com.

Let's get on with the show.
