The A-Z of Football Manager Guide

The A-Z of Football Manager is archived

This series ran in 2023 and brought together 26 different voices from across the Football Manager community, with each contributor taking a letter of the alphabet.

The series is no longer updated, but the articles remain online as a record of the project and the community that made it happen. Some content may reference older Football Manager versions.

Welcome to The A-Z of Football Manager, a community celebration of everything weird, wonderful, and worthwhile in the FM universe.

This project brought together 26 different voices from across the Football Manager community, each tackling a letter of the alphabet with their own spin. From niche tactical terms to heartfelt save stories, the A-Z became a creative showcase of the game we all love.

Looking back now, this series represents a moment in time: a shared spark of creativity that turned into something much bigger than I’d planned. It was a real labour of love, and even though it’s no longer featured on the homepage, I wanted to keep it here for those who’ve followed along or found their way to it.

If you’re discovering this for the first time: enjoy. And if you’re returning for another read, thank you. You helped make this something special.
