What you are good at
Pace, passing, strength, tackling, aerial ability and the rest. Each one is trained on its own, and every one of them has a part to play when your side takes the pitch.
The Game
One football career, taken seriously
Train between matches. Find out on matchday.
Your player
A footballer, not an avatar with a power level: you are what you have trained. Train to stay sharp, rest to stay fresh.
Getting better
Experience comes from training, work and matches. Levels open up jobs and gear rather than handing you raw power, and nothing bought with real money ever touches a match.
Your face is your own
Appearance is cosmetic and always will be. Your name, your face, the character you pick and your nationality. None of it touches a single result.
Matchday
You find out together
Every match in the division kicks off at once, and every result lands at the same moment. Then you watch yours back as a replay.
What decides a match
The players and their stats come first. Around them, three things shape the match.
The shape
A formation decides what your side goes looking for; your players decide whether they find it. It is public before kickoff, so you can see theirs and they can see yours.
The mentality
Sit back, Balanced or Go for it, and deliberately nothing more. It leans your side towards defending or attacking, and it never stands in for what your players can do.
The bench
A player who tires is taken off for you in the second half, while changes are left. Two bookings are a sending off, and a sending off is the only way to miss the next match.
Clubs
A club is who turns up
Every job at a club is done by somebody with a career of their own. Start a club and send your mates the invite link: empty places go to academy kids until they arrive.
Who does what
The owner hands out the roles, and when a role holder leaves it passes on. Owners and co-owners can also release anybody else from the club.
Owner and co-owners
Appoint the roles, release players and spend the bank. The owner also sets the crest, the kit and who can join: anyone who turns up, or only those the club says yes to.
Coach
One saved plan, covering the shape, the mentality and who is in, used every match until somebody changes it. The owners can change it too.
Captain
Status only. It does not improve a result by a hair. Some honours are just honours, and this is one.
Players
Everybody else, and most of the club. They train, play every match they are picked for and chip in to the bank. Every one of them is a career of their own.
Fair play
Everybody starts in the same place
Nobody arrives better than you because they paid, and nobody is held back because they did not. What you get out of a career is what you put into it.
