It's here. The Football Manager 2023 beta officially dropped on Thursday night and already, hundreds and thousands of players are scampering to find the most talented wonderkids for their squad.
Last year, we got to see the likes of Lorenzo Lucca, Thiago Almada and Noni Madueke flourish into the world's best players; not to mention Emre Demir, Ryan Gravenberch and Ilaix Moriba.
So what about this year's edition? Who will run the show when 2028 comes around?
