Tony Jameson (Football Manager Ruined My Life) and Matt Richards talk about their 25 year addiction to football management simulators. The two look to come to terms with their undying love of Regista's, bolstering Freddy Adu's digital CV and tell tales of leaving weddings to complete transfer deadline day. Tony and Matt aim to help you separate the pixelated sideline from the harsh chalk lines of reality

    Now what's all this we've been hearing about guests on the podcast? It can't be true can it? Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is. FMT are back and this time they've brought a fiend - it's king of the wonderkids Salty B! Rich, Kev, Jeb & Mr Jebbles all sit down with Salty and talk Wonderkids United, City Skylines, building an online presence and pitch possibly the best videogame crossover in history. It's going to get silly. We love having guests on the pod and we loved this chat with Salty. Hope you like it half as much as we did. VIVA LA FMT!

    Hi friends! We're back! FMT return with another hot, steaming cup of podcast. This week, join Rich, Kev and the returning Callum (get well soon Jeb x) as they answer one of the most common questions in FM: what makes the perfect striker? The gang pick 5 key attributes that, if they were making a striker from scratch, would be a perfect 20 out of 20. We've left out the obvious ones to make it interesting. Will Kev continue his penchant for Big Meaty Men up front? Will Callum pick ANOTHER animal instead of a human being? Does Rich even understand what a striker actually is?
