As football clubs across the globe are busy making their final signings of the transfer window, there’s only one addition that every football fan needs in their squad…and we’re delighted to reveal that Football Manager 2018 will be ready for action on Friday, November 10th.

Football Manager 2018 System Requirements and Platforms
System requirements have not changed all that much for previous releases of Football Manager, and compared to Football Manager 2017. Only notable thing that changed to previous release is that the disk space required has more than doubled than the year before.

Platform vice, FM18 will be making its return to PC, Mac and Linux, both as a digital download via Steam or in a physical formats.
FM 2018 Touch will be available for download on PC, Mac and Linux last year, but as the name suggests, it will be preferred for the players who like more casual slightly simplified version for them to play on iOS or Android tablets.
Football Manager Mobile will return in 2018 on iPhone and Android.
