It won't ever be - the next one will be 26.1.0 which will be the next major update, it'll contain a lot more stuff than the minor updates that we've been doing so far and contain fixes, tweaks and tuning.

Fully details in due course, but it'll be before xmas.

Hi @Marc Vaughan this is the second update now that wont install on my device previously i had to uninstall to get the latest version which resulted in lost save files. Ive followed the how to guide which is a waste of time telling someone to got to the store and hit update. It shouldnt be this hard to install the latest version of the game.

I have completely shut down my phone and switched back on again. I have closed all apps and reopened them again.

My device is a samsung z flip 7

We're trying to ascertain potential causes for this - but obviously the store isn't something we directly control (ie. its not our software), if we can figure out the cause we'll work around it if at all possible for us to do so.

Nunca lo será: la próxima será 26.1.0, que será la próxima actualización importante, contendrá mucho más material que las actualizaciones menores que hemos estado haciendo hasta ahora y contendrá correcciones, ajustes y optimizaciones.

Habrá más detalles a su debido tiempo, pero será antes de Navidad.

Will any new players be added? For example, Shelton Sanchez has made his debut for Athletic Club this season.

I am facing loading problem (if I use any kinds of kit, logo & face pack) once again after updating 26.0.4. Does anyone else facing the same problem?

I am having the same issues. Tried reinstalling and copying over the FMF files again but since the update its crashed every time. The vanilla game with nothing added seems to work. So i´m not sure what the issue can be. Android 16 (which also updated yesterday)

Hope so they will fix the problem in next update. Till now have to play the game without any 3rd party packs.

Pleasant day everyone. I had to uninstall the game prior to the update due to a bug that caused the game to crash whenever I tried advancing with my national team, thankfully, this has been fixed. As well as the tedious loading times for packs. Kudos to @Marc Vaughanand the team.

However, now I'm facing a problem in my save where I set mentorships for my youngsters, but once I advance, they disappear. For someone immersed in the youth building side of things, this is rather troublesome. Another small issue is the Euro currency image not showing at startup. I'm aware an update is being released before Christmas and I hope this is fixed.

Hey Bro, please fix the names of Polish juniors in the school, it's about Polish names, not Jacob, Dean, Mark, Andy, Alex

I experiment in two different new FMM26 saves that game "freeze" when elaborating some data in September (and only in September).

The screen remain blocked like the image uploaded (and I lost so a brillant previous 4-0 in the derby).

 

Definetely I return back to my (paid) FMM23, I'll go back when the app (if the app) will become affordable.

@Marc Vaughan Injuries at the start of saves (upto 6 or 7 players) and injuries throughout the season are absolutely killing the game for me. I get teams struggle with injuries now and again but it is absolutley relentless MOST of the time.

You start your save with 6 or 7 injuries (with 3 or 4 being a number of months) and then by the end of the first 2 weeks, you have more injured and you struggle to put a team together for matches.

Starting injuries (ie when game begins) are the real life injuries of note .. sorry,.
