Liverpool on FM26 - 20th Title, What's Next?
20 ENGLISH LEAGUE TITLES — joint record with Man United. Slot wins the title in his very first season (2024-25). Then EVERYTHING FALLS APART in 2025-26: Diogo Jota dies in a car accident on July 3, 2025. Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves for Real Madrid. Slot is SACKED. Alexander Isak (£125M, British record) isn't enough. Liverpool MOURNS and REBUILDS.
Why choose Liverpool?
Because Liverpool is THE MOST PASSIONATE CLUB IN ENGLAND. 20 league titles, joint record with Man United — including the 20th in 2024-25 under Arne Slot, the first celebrated with fans since the COVID lockdown of 2020. Anfield (61,276 seats after the Anfield Road Stand expansion in April 2025) remains one of the most electric stadiums in the world — 'You'll Never Walk Alone' still gives you goosebumps. But 2025-26 is a season of GRIEF AND RECONSTRUCTION. Diogo Jota dies in a car accident on July 3, 2025 — a massive shock for the entire football world. Trent Alexander-Arnold leaves on a free transfer to Real Madrid. Arne Slot is sacked on May 30, 2026 (5th place, no trophies). Alexander Isak signed for £125M (British record from Newcastle) wasn't enough. In FM26, you arrive to rebuild a wounded giant — the 21st title, the fans are waiting.
Jota's passing and the rebuild
Diogo Jota (28) passed away on July 3, 2025. Some players carry his loss throughout the season. In FM26, respect his legacy — it's a human story beyond football. Isak (£125M) is the new reference striker with his pressing quality and finishing.
Tactics: perpetuate the Klopp pressing
Liverpool's DNA under Klopp (and Slot at his best): intense counter-pressing, quick transitions, 4-3-3 with inverted wingers. Alisson in goal remains a guarantee. Mohamed Salah (if still at the club) is the X-factor. In FM26, maintain the intensity characteristic of Anfield — that's what 61,000 fans expect.
Objectives: the 21st title
First: qualify Liverpool for the Champions League. Then: reclaim the PL title (20 titles and still hungry). The CL remains the obsession — 6 titles, but the last was in 2019. Anfield deserves a magical European night.
Liverpool is YWNA. A story of passion, resilience, a stadium that takes your breath away. In FM26, rebuilding after a difficult season is one of the most EMOTIONAL challenges. You'll Never Walk Alone.
