Football Manager 2022 is on the way and we're still in Spain but we're cruising towards Christmas with some Champions League success along the way.

This week we kick off with a look at some of the early Football Manager 2022 features before working through the thick of our December in La Liga. Can the working man's club turn a corner? Will Haaland "real-ly" start to improve?

With Barcelona setting the pace in the league, there's a lot of ground to make up. Financial Fair Play leads to extra money in the transfer budget and with results starting to go in the right direction, it's time to start scouting for January.

We've got our final Champions League group game plus details of what comes next, and five league fixtures to review as the wingers take break, the goalscorers start scoring, the corners start working wonders and the wonderkids, well, they can stay were they are.

All things considered, we should wrap up in Spain very nicely before landing into FM22 this November!
