In this game you are the manager of a football team. Your role is to manage your team, choose the strategy including: select the team formation, and assign the position for each football player.

You can play this game in one player mode, or in two-player mode.

• In one player mode you just choose to manage one of the two teams, another team will play by the default settings.
• In two-player mode the two users should make agreement about which kind of players one can take to his team. Then each is free to choose the playing strategy.

In any mode you can easily change the team formation, player positions during the game. The program will simulate every change as the command from the football manager to his team as in the real world. Therefore, you are the better manager if your team wins .
