I have reached the Champions League with a mediocre team in FM23 and what awaits me is the Super League

FM

As I told you in the text about the most interesting teams we could choose in Football Manager 2023, it is most likely to choose to play with a specific club because of a television series. He referred to LIGO Rovers, an Irish league team, and which is also the town in which People develops.

After a couple of years dominating the competition, despite the little budget and how complicated it is to convince the players to file for the Irish League, I have managed to pass the previous rounds that lead to the UEFA Champions League group stage. The dynamo of Tbilisi and company did not prevent me from reaching a place that will make me go to the team.

The more than 14 million euros award, just to reach this phase, are an incredible financial support for a team that, when winning its regional league, barely wins 200,000 euros. However, after reaching this point, I received news that has left me perplexed. The Champions League has become the Super League.

A surprise in my email

For those who are not clear, the European Super League is an initiative commanded by the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez. The objective is that European top teams play more among them, allowing greater economic development through the sale of television rights. This is something that is in court, because national competitions believe that this goes against their interests.

Well, the Champions League format in my game of Football Manager 2024 has much more to do with this than with what we have been seeing for many years. Anguilla are eliminated, and we have a new league phase with 8 games per team, and a total of 36 squads. A kind of Swiss format that ends up classifying the first 8 to the eighth, and those between 9th and 24th, dispute back and forth classify this phase.

Have Football Manager invented it?

The truth is that no, Football Manager 2023 has not taken any license. This format was already announced just over a year ago by UEFA, and is prepared for 2024-2025, at which time the television contract of the competition will change.

The adaptation of Sports Interactive is quite faithful to what is commented on by UEFA, and describes forever the theme of the Seeding and the serial heads in the draw. Now everything depends on the calendar, and that performance during the eight league phase duels.
