They're doing a deal right now that if you own Football Manager 2017 and pre-order Football Manager 2018 (before Monday, October 9th) you will get a 25% discount, so that's not a bad deal.
If you do pre-order, you can gain access to a "fully-playable Beta", which can be continued into the full game at the final release.
They will be releasing more details on what's new through September on the official site. Details on exactly what's different are a little light right now, but I expect we will hear more soon.

Finally, FM2018 is officially announced in Germany. It was banned until this year (due to licences IIRC).

Nope, I can't stand football & I'm never going to spend money on it, being caught up in a riot at a real football match when I was 9yrs old soured me on the whole football thing.

The Steam page still says "This item is currently unavailable in your region", and their store says "Sorry, this product is not available in your region".
Which means I can't pre-order it either, obviously, to get that pre-order deal. If it even comes out in Germany at all, that is.

Well, I hate it too, in real life. Hate the culture, hate the rowdy people, hate the game itself, hate the mess of broken beer bottles, barf and police horse crap on bicycle lanes after a game, ...
I do, however, have fond memories of playing Anstoss and especially Anstoss 2 (Gold), football manager sims in the 1990s.
EDIT: Ah, it seems like Football Manager 2018 isn't coming to Germany. But Football Manager 2019, next year, is. "Great".

Well it must be doing reasonably well on our platform if they are continuing to support it then.

One of the first hugely popular games that started supporting Linux years ago, and a stellar one. That's amazing, so thankful for that :)

This must be THE football game being a manager, but who to possibly bring Sensible Soccer Remastered (!) to existence...

Well it is actually Codemasters the British publisher that owns the rights to that one and if you could convince enough people to pester them about it they are fairly pro linux so you never know.

I think the point is the 2017 version is now out of date. The new season's started here in the UK and the staff and squads have changed. So if you want it to be realistic (after all it is a simulator of sorts) then you have to buy the new updated version every year. Too expensive for me I'm afraid.
I tried limping on with my old version for a while but I do want the players to be up to date. If you're not bothered by that of course, then you can play the same version forever :) It would be nice if you could just buy an update for the database to stay fresh.

If you want to be realistic then you have to keep paying every year, because the license needs to be extended, FIFA won't give the license for free.
