Secondly from FM View, there’s rather strangely a database which will allow you to take charge of Manchester United’s 1996/97 team. Quiet why this year was chosen I don’t know, surely there are better years to reminisce to? I can’t even remember what happened in the Premiership that season!

Life in FM has an out of sorts update this time around, rather than focusing on one of the many FM Stories the author gets going, he’s taken the time to create a database especially for us. In which you can take charge of a team full of the best players in the Championship in an attempt to make them a solid Premiership side.

This update also comes with further downloads for the authors St Helens game in which he’s created a fictional club which he hopes to take to Football Manager stardom.
