The January transfer window has officially closed for Europe's top leagues and now FM players await the season update release for their favourite teams.
Every year, Football Manager releases a major update to refresh squads and allow players begin a new save with accurate, up-to-date transfers, with Sports Interactive expected to do the same with Football Manager 2023.
Here's what we know so far about the upcoming Winter Update.
Football Manager Winter Update
)
The primary focus of the update on FM is simply transfers.
Every player that has moved since the release of the game earlier this season will also be moved in the game.
In other words, Chelsea fans will be the most excited about an entirely new game update to enjoy after their record-breaking spend which saw them bring in the most expensive midfielder in the world Enzo Fernandez, for a British record fee, Mykhaylo Mudryk, as well a host of other youngsters under Todd Boehly.
Also, the update also will include manager departures and arrivals as well.
There will equally be changes to player abilities and potentials to reflect the progress of the real players on the pitch.
Pointo to note, is this is a 'winter update' and not a 'January update', as it takes into account the transfer windows around the world which do not shut on January 31.

While most windows shut at the end of January, some remain open for a few more weeks, like leagues in Switzerland have until February 15 and both Bulgaria and Romania leagues can do business until February 22.
When will Football Manager Winter 2023 update arrive?
)
Currently, there is no official date for the release of the update, with Football Manager representatives regularly telling players that it will be ready when it's ready.
Last year, the FM22 update arrived on February 24, four days later than the release in 2021 but a week sooner than FM20, which spilled over into March.
This year’s update is expected to arrive sometime this month or could well spill over again into March.
