Versus mode is back, giving FMFC members the opportunity to challenge each other for the ultimate online bragging rights.
Since its launch in November 2020, FMFC, the Football Manager members club, has offered exclusive access to feature news, competitions, events and even the opportunity for members to appear in the game. With the new-look Versus Mode, members can now compete against one another in a variety of tournament formats.
Formerly part of Football Manager Classic and Football Manager Touch (PC/Mac), Versus mode joins Fantasy Draft and Online Career as one of the three exciting multiplayer game modes available in Football Manager 2022 (PC/Mac).
Versus places the focus solely on playing matches, empowering managers to test themselves against each other in competitive tournament settings. Whether you’re playing in a 10-team league or gearing up for a one-on-one, winner-takes-all match-up, you can take your treble-winning side of 2030 and pit them against the superstar squads assembled by your friends and other FMFC members.
It’s the closest thing to an ‘instant play’ mode available in FM22, allowing you to also test out tactics and players against the AI.
Look out for more FMFC exclusives coming soon. Not a member yet? Sign up here.
How to Access Versus mode
To start playing Versus mode in FM22, you’ll need to use the sign-up/sign-in panel on the game start screen to sync the game up with your FMFC account.
Once you’ve logged in, you’ll be able to jump straight in to Versus mode and start putting your skills to the test.

Note: We’re aware that a delay arises when another manager joins a game as a spectator. We’re working on ways to rectify this and hope to release a fix in the Final Winter Update. As always, your feedback is essential to help us improve your experience – if you find any other issues please log them on our community forums. We will also be gathering wider feedback from FMFC members in the coming weeks via a dedicated Versus mode survey.
