FM's relationship with Prozone continues (though they've now rebranded as Stats), with new features coming in to offer a much more rounded (and useful) post match analysis package.

That includes heat maps and key stats to show where games were won and lost and which formations work best. You can also drill down into individual player stats like where they gained or lost possession, how assists were made

The game has also massively improved the backroom staff element, adding Analysts and Sports Scientists roles, with the former in particular looking invaluable to evaluating tactical trends in your performances and in the opposition.
