Everything a football manager does
Every part of the club is yours to run.
Tactics and team selection
Pick your starting eleven and substitutes, choose a formation and set how your side plays. Every decision shows on the pitch when the matches are played.

Bid for players on the transfer market, sell the ones you don't need and send your scouts out to find the next star before your rivals do.
Read the guide ›Training and player development
Plan your squad's training and watch players improve, keep an eye on morale and contracts, and manage injuries over a long season.
Read the guide ›Stadium and finances
Set ticket prices, sign sponsorship deals and grow your stadium. Balance the books, or the board will want to know why.
Read the guide ›Follow every match
Read the match report event by event, with goals, cards and substitutions as they happened, and the ratings of every player.

What our managers say
I am obsessed with Footie Manager. It is the greatest online management game ever.
Mike, Bristol, Eng.
I speak for the entire continent of North America when I say that this game is better than watching MLS...or playing any other games for that matter.

The best football manager game on the internet.

Questions
Is FootieManager free?
Yes. You can play in the free game worlds for as long as you like. Premier game worlds cost a small amount per season, from about £3 a season, and give you more features.
Do I need to download anything?
No. FootieManager runs in your web browser, on a computer, tablet or phone.
Am I playing against real people?
Yes. Every club you play against in the league is managed by a real person or waiting for one, and the transfer market is shared with them too.
How do I start?
Sign up with your email address, Google or Facebook, then choose a club from the free positions in any game world and start picking your team.
How often are matches played?
Each game world plays at its own pace: some play a round of matches every day, others twice a week. A season is about 45 rounds, so it lasts from about six weeks to about five months.
What is a premier game?
Premier game worlds are for managers who want more: youth academies, advanced tactics, more transfer options, coaching staff, match weather and more statistics, with no adverts.
