Game Play Hints

You will usually inherit a very small squad. This means you will need to get busy in the transfer market in order to increase your playing resources. You can do this by clicking on “Transfer list” and then clicking on any of the teams in the league.

Owing to the likely fact that your squad has been run down by the previous manager it is often necessary to sell 1 or more of your most valuable assets and replace them with better value and more numerous replacements.

Rotate your squad. A tied player is not a good player and so they are unlikely to perform well. By resting them you will improve their performance in the next game they play.

Attendance is Key. Your fans love a win and love a big win even more. As ticket sales provide all your income you will need to keep your fans happy by winning lots of games.

Review your upcoming fixtures. Resting players at the right time so that you still win games is important. If you are playing a weak side then it is often worth resting key players so that they are back to full fitness for more difficult games.

Buy Sponsorship. If you need a boost through the season then why not buy some sponsorship, this allows you to buy in game cash for real life money. So why not treat Bradford City to Paul Scholes, they deserve it!

    Winning the game feels simple. The thrill fades without new players to use our points on. Extra challenges could bring some excitement, like aiming to win the European cup with three different teams. With over 100,000 points, I face a lack of options. Finishing all the challenges makes the game lose its spark.

    I love the simplicity of this game. Starting my career from the beginning feels exciting. I get to acquire rising legends, and that part brings me joy. Then it happens. Every time I build a solid team, the game crashes after an ad. A blank white screen stares back at me. Restarting the game doesn’t help either. Frustrating! I’ve made at least three purchases in this game which makes it even more annoying. But here’s the good news. I switched to a new phone, and now everything runs smoothly. Changed my rating to five stars!

    This game is fantastic! The transfer system works incredibly well. You can earn 1 million just by watching a quick 30-second ad. Each game comes with random players available for transfer, which keeps the excitement alive. Finding out who you might get is thrilling! It’s so addictive and enjoyable, plus it features real player and club names. I have no complaints at all!

    This game brings back so many nostalgic feelings. It grabs attention and keeps you coming back for more. The quick gameplay makes it easy to breeze through seasons, which is a big plus. A suggestion? Adding half-time ratings could help players assess performance better, focusing less on fitness. Overall, fantastic game! 👏

    The game holds promise but has a big flaw in the engine. Even with a team full of 100 skill players, losses happen against teams with mostly 80 skill players. It’s frustrating to lose five or six matches back-to-back despite having a stronger lineup. The gameplay lacks depth. After a few seasons, it turns dull and repetitive.

    The concept grabbed attention, but the execution fell flat. The match data? Barely exists, limited to just goals, assists, and red cards. How is that enough for a management game? Injured players get auto-subbed, and formation changes happen on the fly. No pause option like with red cards. It feels chaotic. Finances are a mess too. By the second season, real money becomes necessary since wages surpass income. Clubs throw money around without facing bankruptcy. Overall, it just misses the mark on what makes a strategy game engaging.

    Not a bad game at first. It got me hooked. Now I feel like deleting it. I bought a top goalkeeper, but he still gets outplayed by Watford’s 40-year-old keeper. Struggling against the bottom half teams feels like a joke. Beat three top teams, but lose to the bottom six every time. Unreal. Dropped my rating to one star. Had 14 red cards in one season. Injuries keep piling up. No fit players. Ridiculous.

    This game is fantastic. It lets players build, buy, and dominate through some amazing seasons. You can move forward through the years and experience the growth. One idea for improvement involves transfers. Adding a feature to loan players out to other teams would help develop the young stars on your roster. Overall, it’s a great game and definitely deserves a five-star rating!
