The business end of the 2026-27 season arrives. Could I lead United to their first-ever WSL title, or would Arsenal claim their fourth triumph in the competition?A good start, as we won derby day by beating Manchester City 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium. Gabi...
The penultimate update of the season. We were knocked off top spot in the WSL in the preceding February 2027, mainly thanks to a rough 3-2 loss at the Emirates Stadium to title rivals Arsenal. We did have a game in hand and still had more than enough time...
Oh, unlucky! I thought you might have had it after those results when you beat Forest. Top effort nevertheless.Less said about United, the better.🫣
Best of luck with Alfreton! That's a good idea to start on the Brazilian time period to mix it up.
January 2027 made for a hit-and-miss month, which featured cause for concern but also hope that we'd keep on the right track. So, the question is: would we?Ew. Bad start! Liverpool, down in mid-table, secured a special WSL win at Anfield against their clu...
Thanks pal! It is indeed, fingers crossed we can keep the form up. The biggest compliment to pay Gabi Nunes is that we don't even remember our former forward's name now.😁
New Year, New United? I hope not! The Red Devils had an excellent end to 2026, heading into this here 2027 sitting atop the WSL table by six points. Can we maintain (or extend) that advantage?First up, though, were two big cup ties. Manchester City visite...
Great intro! This'll be an interesting story, no doubt.
This season, albeit a still young one, has exceeded all my expectations thus far. Would November (and December, just one game so an added bonus) see a continuation or a relapse back to our previous ways? Let's see…I'm just as surprised as you! I did menti...
Appreciate you reading! It's been a great start. I thought I'd be annoyed at losing Terland, but Nunes has been a huge upgrade - I obviously thought she'd be a good replacement, but even I wasn't expecting such prowess from the Brazilian.
Off a blistering start to open the season, United went into October on a mighty high. Would it remain come the end of the month?Our group stage opener in the WSL Cup started the month, as Liverpool came to Leigh Sports Village for the second time in less...
Ouch! At least you have something to work on, I guess.
Great first season you had, couldn't ask for much more at all. Who knocked you out of the Champions League?Best of luck for 2026/27!
Shame about the cup outcomes, but at least the league form is going well. A big final ten to play!Also… “Ruben Amorim's Leeds" ?! 😯 I didn't have him down as a traitor.
Great to see you back as well! I've always got time to follow another jouneyman…That's cool, I've heard Leigh Sports Village is a tricky one to get to so no mean feat. I'm hopeful for this new season. What year is it?! Quite the start to season...
September 2026 has arrived, which means the 2026-27 WSL campaign can finally get underway. Here's how United got on against West Ham United (H), Crystal Palace (A) and rivals Liverpool (H).A great start. West Ham United gave us a decent test at Leigh Spor...
Thank you! I hope so, but Chelsea especially will take some beating - as we found out last season, the bruise of which still remains.😁
After a disappointing-turned-positive-turned-painful 2025-26, I headed into 2026-27 hoping to take The Red Devils one step further, pretty much, across the board. Titles and final tables are a long way off however, so first: pre-season and the transfer wi...
I grew up with Bolton in the PL, proper Barclays as they say; I'd be happy to see them return. Best of luck with the save!
Not sure what is worse: Tomiyasu's debut, or Man Utd appointing Ange for a relegation battle.🙃
Neither can I! This United save is (despite the gloomy ending to season one) enjoyable and one I hope to do a couple of seasons in, but I'm still antsy to get a journeyman underway.…and yes, very tough! Chelsea knocked us out of all three cup competitions...
Here it is, the conclusion to 2025-26. The Red Devils headed into the final two months of the season with matches across the WSL (x3), the FA Cup (QF) and the UEFA Women's Champions League (QF). Five matches were scheduled, would there be any extra?Two mo...
March brings with it four matches. We meet West Ham United, Everton and Manchester City in the WSL, whilst also resuming our (albeit unlikely) quest for UWCL success. Here's how The Red Devils got on:A trip to the Chigwell Construction Stadium was first o...
Thanks! That is the overall goal of the save. I'd say United's ‘correct’ place in the pecking order would be fourth with a view to breaking the trifecta of Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City, at least in real life. I'm hopeful of finding a replacement for Terl...
After a mixed January, The Red Devils headed into February with five fixtures spread across the WSL, the FA Cup and the WSL Cup. Bar a meeting with an outstanding Chelsea team, I requested four wins from the other four games that were against struggling W...
Merci, Dan! That's one of the reasons I decided to do a women's save, naturally my eyes always glow for a shiny new addition - it was either this or a visit to Egypt, UAE or Lithuania, but there's a decent chance I'll get to check those new leagues out in...
(An in-game) Happy New Year! 2026 is here and we're hoping for a more prosperous second part of the season. With the WSL, the FA Cup, the WSL Cup and the UWCL, there's plenty to play for between now and the campaign's end.January 2026 kicked off with a sp...
2025 comes to close to four December matches. November went very nicely, so we were hoping to continue that fine form into the year's finale. Could we manage to do so?Well, not initially. West Ham United gained a valuable three points at Leigh Sports Vill...
The Interceptor and Phil Mitchell's kid in the team? You were never going to lose!Joking aside, good to see Mr. McIlwaine make the welcomed decision.
Impressive start, as you say a relatively kind fixture list but you still have to beat what's in front of you! A shame that United didn't get the win though…😁
Despite what I'd consider positive performances, good results have not exactly been regularly occurring in this save so far. I'm not under any additional pressure yet, but without an improvement I'd surely be in trouble sooner or later. So you could say N...
October 2025 is here. Four games, two domestic and two continental. We started the campaign with promise, if imperfect results. Would improvement be made?Well, first and foremost: not quite. However, this opening defeat at Old Trafford was to title favour...
I've managed to get through September 2025 without any major bugs (hopefully I've not tempted fate), so here's what the women's team of Manchester United got up to as the competitive campaign got underway.Game 1 of the new season saw us welcome Leicester...
Pre-season is now complete, as is our initial attempt to progress through UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying. Let's see what happened.Our tour of Australia kicked off with a thumping 7-0 victory over Western Sydney Wanderers at Wanderers Football Pa...
Time for the pre-season period, which culminates with our UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying matches.Firstly, here are the competitions that we'll be involved in 2025-26. The WSL is obviously the bread and butter, but there is also the FA Cup and th...
So it begins. FM26 is here and I'm exploring all that it has to offer via a beta save with Manchester United's women's team in the FA WSL. Hopefully it goes fairly well, though I'm not expecting too much given how good the likes of Chelsea are in the wome...
Can I lead the Manchester United women's team to glory? Probably not, but it's a beta save I hope to enjoy as I explore FM26.
The end of the save has arrived. Mainly due to the FM26 beta releasing later today, but to be honest I think I've exhausted the save idea as much as I had originally anticipated; if not slightly more, to be honest. I didn't get that damn World Cup trophy,...
Good call, I never start my ‘proper’ save until the full release due to the reasons you mention. Who are you going to manage in your quick save?👀
The 2062 FIFA World Cup reaches the Round of 16!Cor blimey, guv'nor. England gave Javier Borgetti's Mexico, what we call in the business, an absolute violation. I mean, look at the stats man… 3.69 xG, 24 shots, 64% possession. I haven't been thumped like...
I suppose I had a bit of a cheek questioning Brazil's luck, when in fact us Mexicans got just as much good fortune!😁

You're not wrong! Here's hoping I can sneak a successful campaign in at the death, but I'm not liking my chances with the lack of top nations available to manage. An at rock bottom Portugal or an underdog story it'll most likely have to be!
