E86: "They call me Mr. Ndolvu" and other Football Manager tales
We're heading towards Christmas in South Africa and France and team fortunes couldn't be further apart if we tried.
It's been another busy week in the world of Football Manager.
The game's next edition, Football Manager 2023, is set for release on 8 November which means out intrepid managers are under pressure to finish out their FM22 adventures in South Africa and France.
Having opted to divide and conquer, splitting continents as well, it turns out that there's quite a lot of football to be played in South Africa, especially when you've got a team like Orlando Pirates who are involved in every cup competition known to man.
This week sees Shane's Pirates in two cup outings and a few league fixtures with a certain Mr. Ndolvu getting himself some new intro music.
In France, Ken can't buy a win, is suffering from low squad morale and trying to address playing issues all while out-performing the team's expected early season relegation scrap.
The bad news there is that there's nobody stopping PSG who are dominating proceedings.
We've been keeping our solo saves updated as well with Ken's fortunes at Hibernian turning around slightly while Shane's got the Premier League all wrapped up.
We'll look at all of these, plus get updates from community members on their saves and early plans for Football Manager 2023.
