FM27 Mobile: Match Engine, Physio Reports & Confidence
How FM27 Mobile's updated match engine, physio reports and Board Confidence supporters meter turn match data into smarter management calls.

How do the match engine and physio reports work in FM27 Mobile?

The updated match engine is meant to make matches feel more authentic moment to moment, and it adds real-time statistics such as Expected Goals for deeper insight. New Physio Reports give a full assessment of injury risks and match readiness to help you pick the right team. Beyond that, the official listing describes these features in general terms only: it does not publish step-by-step instructions for either system, and the App Store page does not list specific numbers or thresholds.
What does the updated match engine change?
It provides an even more authentic moment-to-moment experience during matches, according to the game's App Store listing. That is the extent of what the official description states about the engine itself. Any finer details about how the simulation behaves are not officially documented in the listing.
How does Expected Goals work in real time?
The listing says the engine includes real-time statistics like Expected Goals to give you deeper insight during matches. It does not explain how the figure is calculated or where it appears on screen, so those specifics are not officially documented yet. Treat Expected Goals as an in-match reading rather than a pre-match prediction, based on how the feature is described.
What do physio reports tell you about injury risk?
Physio Reports provide a full assessment of injury risks and match readiness, helping you select the right team to meet the moment. The listing presents them as a selection aid rather than a fixed rule set. It does not publish the format of the reports or the exact factors they weigh, so if you want to know precisely what feeds into a report, that is not officially documented.
How does Supporters Board Confidence work?
The listing describes a new Supporters section of the Board Confidence system that gives a clear temperature check on how fans are feeling about team performance and your management. It does not list the events that move supporter mood or how that mood translates into board decisions. Those details are not officially documented in the current listing.
Other changes in this season's update
The same listing rounds out the update with several quality-of-life changes:
- Haptics and a separate accessibility settings menu.
- Improvements to audio feedback and the back button.
- A new playable league, giving more choice on where your story starts.
- Saves carry over from earlier editions of FM Mobile.
Football Manager 27 Mobile is free on iOS and iPadOS with a Netflix membership required, according to the App Store page.
