The big Transfer Deadline version of the Football Manager Update for FM23!
HOTFIX - Sept 6th
This is a hotfix for the FMUpdate Transfer Deadline V1. WE noticed a lot of transfers from England had gone missing due to merging 2 transfer files. We have fixed the issue and have checked all the moves in the Premier League, Championship, L1 & L2.
Please remove the old version and download this new one!
Also removed the double update, which caused the database to be corrupt

The FMU - Frequently Asked Questions
On which version of Football Manager can I use the FMU?
The Football Manager Update is compatible with the 23.4 database of the full version of Football Manager 2023 and will support the following platforms:
- Steam
- Epic
- Gamepass
This update is NOT compatible with Football Manager mobile or the versions on Nintendo Switch, Playstation or Xbox. Also, this update can’t be used with older versions of the game like Football Manager 2022.
My game starts in 2022 is that correct?
Yes. It is not possible to offer you the full experience without starting in 2022. If your start date is June/July 2022 it is correct.
Why doesn't the FMU use a custom start date?
We follow the same strategy as the official updates from Football Manager, meaning we do not complete transfers on a future transfer and always place a new player directly at his new club. By using a custom start date we can't guarantee the transfers being 100% accurate. Also, loans can't be given a future start date and could not be added to the game if we use a custom start date.
Is the FMU Compatible with other add-ons?
The FMU transfer file should be compatible with most add-ons as we don't change league structures. However, we have not tested the FMU with every available add-on. We can't assure you your save will work properly.
