Looking for FM27 training schedules that cover the whole season, from preseason to the last match? Freedom78 has made a pack of 44 weekly schedules as .fmf files, ready to import. There is a schedule for every phase of the season and for every kind of week, with or without matches. It is also free.

How the FM27 training schedules are organised
The schedules follow the season in phases. First there is a four-week preseason and a separate tactical block. Then there are three four-week cycles, each with three fixture variants.
- Preseason (P1–P4): the first two weeks are physical work only. Ball work, tactics and friendlies come next.
- Tactical block (T1–T4): it comes right after preseason, with a Wednesday match every week.
- Development (A1–A4): August to November, with varied technical and tactical work.
- Consolidation (B1–B4): December to February, with more organisation, match preparation and team bonding.
- Season Run-In (C1–C4): March to the end of the season, focused on match preparation, defending and set pieces.

Each week of the three cycles repeats the same four themes: build-up and possession, pressing and defensive cohesion, chance creation and attack and, finally, balance and set pieces. After week 4, you go back to week 1.
Pick the right variant for each week
Each schedule in cycles A, B and C has three versions, so you pick the one that matches that week’s fixtures:
- -0: no match that week, with three sessions every day.
- -1: Saturday match, with preparation on Friday and recovery on Sunday.
- -2: Wednesday and Saturday matches, with preparation on Tuesday and Friday and recovery on Thursday and Sunday.
For example, B2-2 is week 2 of Consolidation, with Wednesday and Saturday matches. Changing the variant does not restart the cycle, as you simply move on to the next week.

The rule that never changes
The day after every match or friendly is always the same: Recovery, Recovery and Team Bonding. There are also no scheduled rest days in the 44 schedules. If a match falls on a Sunday, Monday must be a recovery day too, even when a new cycle starts.

Things to watch
The author checked the structure and the placement of the sessions, but has not yet tested the schedules over a full season. So better results are not guaranteed. If a match moves to another day, you also need to move the preparation before the match and the recovery to the day after. Players coming back from international duty may need a separate schedule too. Finally, if you do not know the game’s new training yet, see how FM27 revamps training and introduces Tactical Effectiveness.
