While xG can give you some indication of your chance creation, it’s no more useful than Football Manager’s usual stats. In my experience, xG is very rarely actually on par with goals scored it’s been surprisingly low for every team over the course of a season. It’s not surprising that xG has been added to the game, but its inclusion feels a little paper thin. This is judged both both in matches and over the course of a season. It essentially determines an amount of goals that you should be expected to score based on chances created, where they were created and how they were created. The biggest change to Football Manager 2021‘s matchday experience is ‘xG’, or ‘expected goals’ a new buzzword for statistical analysis within football. In other words, you can’t rely on your tried-and-tested methods from last year to get by. This time around, energy levels in particular seem to play a greater role, presumably to combat previously effective pressing tactics.
Rather than a complete overhaul, there are numerous minor tweaks in Football Manager 2021, affecting tactical exploration and simulation. Games are as difficult as ever to manage, and the minutiae of detail is just as overwhelming as always. Football Manager 2021 hasn’t really rocked the boat in terms of enhancing the matchday gaming experience from last year. Do they need yet another reminder of how bleak 2020 has been? In that regard, it’s hard to criticise the developer’s choice too harshly.īut let’s get onto the beautiful game itself. After all, Football Manager 2021 is a game that offers some much-needed escapism for many of its players. That said, it is understandable where that decision comes from. So to pretend this year’s pandemic doesn’t exist is a strange choice, leaving Football Manager 2021 feeling uncharacteristically unrealistic. This is a game that focuses on serious football management simulation its ecosystem even takes Brexit into account, for crying out loud. Covid-19 has had an insurmountable impact on practically every aspect of the football industry. Covid, and Sports Interactive’s decision to leave it out of Football Manager 2021. Let’s address the elephant in the room first. Managers don’t sit still, and neither does Football Manager 2021.
