Recruitment meetings
Recruitment meetings were one of the most interesting additions to FM21 - but they could be set to become even more important for the next version of the game.
When FFT spoke to Miles Jacobson around the launch of FM21, the studio director confirmed that the team were looking at making them an integral part of signing players for their next update.
"We will be doing a lot more work on recruitment meetings in the future and making them an absolutely pivotal part of the game," Miles confirmed. "At the moment, it’s something that you find useful, I find useful, some people will ignore them - I want to get those to a stage where they’re absolutely vital. I always want more."

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
