More player bonuses. For those that have those creative and goal scoring players, this one will work nicely - a combined bonus for both goals and assists.

Do you have a very specific style of play? Well, the media might pick up on this on FM21 and give it a name of their own. Your own unique brand of football.

Plan for the future. This will help with youth development or players with less playing time. You'll be able to promise more playing time once the player in front of him leaves the club.

Does your team want you to sign players from a certain nation? On FM21, you'll be able to request an affiliate club from that nation to help with that.
