About the game
Download this pnp football (soccer) management game and prepare to take your team to glory (or failure). Starting in the lowly fourth division, sign new players, train up those you have, sell the dead weight, increase the size of your stadium, get new sponsors, hire and fire staff and cry as injury strikes your squad at the worst possible moment. Finally pick your team, your formation and take on 31 other unique teams with their own strengths and weaknesses. Win and the world is yours. Lose and glory starts to look a long way away. Footy Manager can be played solo or multiplayer with friends. All you need are the files, rules, a pencil, eraser and a couple of six sided dice! Unique mechanisms make every play-through different as players retire, start or stop improving, get injured, request transfers and more. If you've got a long trip, a quiet evening in or some time to kill on a commute then just print off the sheets and get playing!
