Hey #FM26 gang, happy new year, hope everyone's well! Quick update: Had sudden opp to relocate with work so took it up in Sept - hence no blog posts since then. Haven't touched FM26 yet, will holiday Lille save (FM19) to TODAY, blog the news, then contemplate shift to 26. G⚽️

Not playing the beta, but getting things ready behind the scenes for #FM26. Have had quite a break (been overseas with work) so just let the Lille save peter out. Quite fancy Spurs for the next adventure, though may leave it to chance. See you all in a couple of weeks!

@MurphFM Hope you don’t have games moved for TV cos I’ve heard David Craig only chills on Sunday.

The only thing that can satisfy me is.... #FM24 #FootballManager

@Latics_Academy Mr and Mrs Trialist beaming with pride 🤩

54' - THERE'S THE HAT-TRICK! 👏 A quick free-kick from the left eventually finds the Trialist, who turns the ball home from inside the six-yard box. (3-2) | #wafcU21s 🔵⚪️

1. Install FM2026 2. Add New Manager 3. ??? 4. Sign @dennispraet ❤️ #NoPraetNoParty

FM26 purchased! Seven weeks to go. For the first time since 2013 RTFM will be playing the current version. I’ll continue this Lille save until end of October, then sim new version up-to-date and get going. Won’t start unemployed this time. Suggestions? Quite fancy Spurs tbh.

@Swiftsure84 😂 😂 😂 Pretty much nailed it haha. My three best mates are lovable dickheads, but I’ve never owned a briefcase lol

@realtimefm Oh I know you!

@Swiftsure84 Ha! I nearly went with “RTFM Towers” at first. I’m a posho public school twat I’m afraid 😂

@realtimefm You live in a chateau?! And here I was thinking you were one of us….

@Jord_713 Isn’t it just! I’m sure I’ve been to a Noisy Le Sec DJ set at Glastonbury 🕺🏻

@realtimefm What an incredible team name.

International weekend in #RTFM so made all first-teamers available for Lille B's friendly at Noisy-le-Sec. Here's who our Reserves manager picked: Two deadline day signings start - Gautier Larsonneur in goal, and Soualiho Meïté on the left of the back four (for some reason).

Oh, all three start actually. Didn't spot Clément Michelin at centre-back. Alexis Mac Allister up top. Reserves manager might be fucking mental. Ah... the French.

@LuckyLukeFM @Topps_UK Launched here in the UK about… 3 weeks ago. I love a trading card set, but couldn’t ever get into Match Attax. Panini got me excited about an EFL set (as I support a League 1 club) but not even released any teasers yet.

@realtimefm @Topps_UK I'm not even sure if they sell this in Ukraine now

Only just realised that Jetpack hasn’t been sharing any RTFM new blog posts over here since July 🤦🏻‍♂️ Anyway, pulled a card and its own parallel on the same @Topps_UK PL 2026 this morning on the walk to work. Don’t think I’ve had that happen before.

@LuckyLukeFM @Topps_UK There’s some proper ropey photos in the set

@realtimefm @Topps_UK my facepack looks better after all

@LaticsOfficial Can use someone from Latics Speyk for the last one 😂

📋 Three more exciting roles have become available at Wigan Athletic: 🔹 Grounds Person 🔹 First Team Physiotherapist 🔹 Head of First Team Performance Analysis Apply here! 👇 #wafc 🔵⚪️

I wonder how he’s doing IRL… …oh, got sent off on my birthday 😂

😭 😭 😭

Ligue 1 table as we go into the international break:

⚽️ LOSC 1-3 Guingamp Dear oh dear. A collapse after taking an early lead in back-to-back games. Just 6 points from five played in Ligue 1 as we go into the international break. realtimefm.wordpress.com/2025/08/30/los… Next up… transfer deadline day! 💸 #footballmanager #fm24

Oh deary me, just played our home game against Guingamp. Match report coming tomorrow evening and it won’t be pretty. 🙈
