Stadium sections, support mailbox, and the matchday desk

Football Manager Pro stadium screen with arena capacity of 62,000 out of 120,000, entrance fees for standing and seating, facilities and constructions

Version 1.8.12 changes the stadium at full capacity, adds a direct line to support in the mailbox, and stops the desk from offering a friendly while you are still in a cup.

Demolish at full capacity

When the stadium is already at 120,000 seats in total, you can demolish standing or seating in blocks of 1,000 to free room for another section. Demolition has its own cost and duration. Progress and the newspaper use the word “Demolish” in your language. The capacity cap itself is unchanged. Read how the stadium earns before you knock a stand down. Income follows who you play and what you charge, not capacity alone.

Support in the mailbox

The mailbox can now send a message to Support / Admin. That recipient is the first option in the list. Account questions can still go to info@footballmanager.pro. Put your manager name and club in the message. The public channels are on the support page.

Lineup screen and matchday desk

On the lineup screen, turning Auto Formation on runs the automatic lineup for the formation you already use. The screen also shows a clearer loading state while automatic substitutions are applied. If the desk header used to suggest a friendly during a Champions League, Europa League or Conference League knockout week, it now keeps the real next opponent. The loading overlay during server jobs — matchday, training, transfer market, auto lineups — names the job instead of a generic “calculation in progress”.

Desk top bar on phones

On phones, the desk top bar (menu, balance, reload) no longer sits under the system status bar on devices where it was hard to tap, including some Samsung and other edge-to-edge Android screens.

Lineup timing

Lineup timing is unchanged (Europe/Berlin):

  • Auto lineup at 14:30 when it is left on
  • Completion of short lineups at 17:00
  • Calculation at 17:30

Details are in the lineup guide.

Your club is waiting.
