The match engine and xG

The headline change is the match engine. SI says FM27 Mobile uses its most advanced 2D engine so far for the Mobile series, built on the PC game’s match logic, and adds more data during the game. xG is the main new number: it estimates how good your chances were, so you can tell a bad finishing day from being outplayed.

People management

New inbox items surface morale events, for example a player publicly criticising your tactics and splitting the dressing room. You can follow these through the Dynamics screen and player profiles, and respond in conversations or press. Player information now says more about personality, to help you pick the response most likely to land.

Traits and recruitment

Preferred moves and traits can now be trained in, or trained out. SI gives finishing first-time shots and cutting out rash tackling as examples. Which traits are available depends on your coaching staff and their specialisms, so staff hiring matters more. New search filters let you scout by personality type or by traits.

Supporters, physio and advice

The Supporters tab gives fans their own rating, split into four areas. Winning alone may not keep them happy. The Physio Report looks at injury history, fitness, fatigue and match load and makes selection and training-intensity recommendations.

Smaller changes

Haptic feedback, a dedicated accessibility menu, news items that link straight to the relevant screen, and Colombia as a new unlicensed playable nation. SI has not published a full list of FM27 Mobile licences, so this site does not list one.
