Management that feels like the classics

  • A minute-by-minute match engine

    Possession, through balls, crosses, long shots, set pieces and penalties, all decided by player attributes and your tactics.

  • Real tactical choices

    Formations, mentality and team instructions that change how a match plays out.

  • Pick your own XI

    Or let your assistant name the strongest fit team, and step in when a player's injured or suspended.

  • Believable results

    Calibrated over thousands of matches against real-world averages. Giant-killings happen, but not every week.

A living football world

  • 13 leagues across 6 nations

    England, Scotland, Spain, Germany, Italy and France: 258 clubs and around 6,600 fictional players.

  • Your own world

    Every manager's world is generated from its own seed, so no two are the same.

  • Transfers and contracts

    Bid, haggle, sign free agents, renew contracts and keep an eye on the wonderkids.

  • AI managers

    Every club has a manager with a record, and the merry-go-round of sackings and appointments never stops.

Careers that last

  • Full seasons

    Saturday fixtures from August to May, midweek rounds, knockout cups and play-offs.

  • The board is watching

    Meet their expectations, or face an ultimatum and the sack. Get headhunted by bigger clubs.

  • Youth, development and retirements

    Players grow, peak and decline; youth intakes arrive every summer.

  • History and records

    League and cup histories, top scorers, head-to-heads, and every player's career record.

Questions

Is it free?

You can play your first seasons free, with no card needed. After that, a monthly subscription keeps your careers going: unlimited seasons and careers. Cancel any time.

Do I need to download anything?

No. It runs in any modern browser, on a computer, tablet or phone. You can also install it like an app from the menu, so it opens full screen with its own icon.

Are the clubs and players real?

No: every club, player and manager is fictional, with names drawn from each nation's football culture. Every manager's world is generated from its own seed, so yours is your own.

Is my career saved?

Yes, to your account after every match, so you can carry on from any device.

Can I use my own database?

Yes. Browse and edit the whole world in the database editor, or import a database in the open format, and start a career in it.
