FM23 Winter Transfer Update alternatives
If you can't quite wait until the big official update though, there is an abundance of player-made database updates which will give you your fix early. They don't just include the biggest transfers too, as they are instead packed with an incredible amount of other small changes and transfer moves.
The best unofficial FM23 database update at the moment is the Football Manager Transfer Update by pr0, as even the deals that were squeezed in at the last minute have been included.
You will of course unfortunately need to start a whole new save in order to apply the database update, as it would make things a bit complicated trying to apply it to a save currently in progress. This is the same case as the official one though, so you will have to make a sacrifice if you want to achieve realism.
That completes this guide on the FM23 Winter Transfer update, and now you know when to expect the update.
