About this game

Football Manager is a football management simulation in which you begin in the fourth division with the team of your choice. You can continue playing indefinitely while aiming for promotion, top-division success, and cup victories.

Management

  • Buy and sell players, with transfer values changing according to the size of bids.
  • Monitor player skills and morale as they change throughout the season.
  • Rest key players in easier matches as part of your squad-management strategy.
  • Take out a loan subject to limits based on your division, while covering day-to-day bills.

Matches

Matches are presented through short animated highlight sequences showing key moments. The C16 version uses text-only match presentation.
