HOW IT STARTS
You do not inherit a winning team. That is the point.
You take charge of an unknown fourth-tier club. Its future is not scripted: your decisions write the story.
Choose the eleven
Form, stamina, positions, harmony and tactics combine to decide what your team can do.
Every season leaves a mark
Players age, move clubs and build careers. You can climb the leagues – or find yourself rebuilding.
You name the eleven
Positions matter. Even a good squad can struggle when the setup is wrong.
The market will not wait
Track auctions, inspect careers and wage demands, and know when to walk away.
The stands matter too
Expand the ground, set ticket prices and find sponsors. A full house has to be earned.
It lasts beyond one season
You begin in tier four. Your squad, club and rivals keep changing year after year.
