_Football Manager 2024 _rookie? Exciting, isn't it? We remember our first time playing _FM_, too. It's also a bit nerve-wracking in a weird kind of way – there aren't many

computer games in which you can, you know, get the sack. But fear not! _FourFourTwo_ has your back. We've put together five handy tips to get you up and running as a _Football Manager

_beginner... You may like 1. STICK TO THE FAMILIAR GET 22% OFF FOOTBALL MANAGER 2024 If you're looking for a discount on _FM24_, there's a discount on preorder at FANATICAL – by

shopping via _FFT_, you can save an extra 5% off the game – making it 22% off overall. That reduces the final price to just £35.05, down from £44.99. When you head to the checkout, make sure

to use the additional discount code 442FM24 to get the extra 5% off _Football Manager 2024_. If you're just getting started with _Football Manager_, it might be a good idea to pick a

team you know well. That might be the one you support; it might be another side you've taken a fancy to; but there's a lot to be said for comfort in familiarity. Even if you just

choose someone like Barcelona to manage before you get used to the game properly, it can be helpful for you to get a grip of _FM_ properly before expanding out to manage Tokyo FC or someone…

2. DON'T RUSH! _Football Manager_ can be an immensely rewarding game to play – even more so if you take your time doing so. Put it this way: even if you only get through two fixtures a

day as manager of a Premier League team, you're still going to finish the season in a matter of weeks – in a game that only comes out once every 12 months! The best features, fun and

footballing quizzes, straight to your inbox every week. 3. KEEP IT SIMPLE _Football Manager_ provides all manner of possibilities in terms of tactics – but you might want to steer clear of

more complex systems at the outset. There's plenty of time for radical innovation later, but it's wise to get to grips with the tactical side of the game by adopting a relatively

simple philosophy at first (although that can still be route one; possession play; whatever you want it to be, within reason!) 4. REMEMBER IT'S A TEAM GAME It rather goes without saying

that _Football Manager_ is about managing a team – but there's plenty more to it than that, with a plethora of staff to assist you. They range from assistant coaches to scouts, and

each of them can be an invaluable asset in your quest for success – so it's well worth taking a bit of time to organise them and optimise their various skill sets. 5. FOLLOW THE

TUTORIALS We get it: you've fired up _Football Manager_ for the first time and you're itching to get started – but the in-game tutorials can really help you get the most out of

your FM experience. It might be tempting to skip them, but taking the time to go through them pays off – believe us! Today's best deals on FM24 _THE FOOTBALL MANAGER 2024 __BETA IS OUT
