Paul Thomas

Get this game! Now played nearly 3 years, absolutely fantastic. I played CM2 as a teenager & this has the same feel, the aim is to win matches by a large goal difference, if you don't understand this premise you can get frustrated. Game is online only but doesn't use much data, beyond basic tutorial you're expected to interact through the 'pubs' to gain insight & understanding. Ejay has done a phenomenal job, it's free to play & no adverts to frustrate you, he's a legend 👏.

This is a great fast-paced football manager game. Would be greater still if there was a little more to the players, I.e. left footed, right footed, attack minded, etc. At the moment it seems you just need Glk, Def, Mid, Atk. I'm enjoying for the moment, but without the depth, I am unsure how long for.

Martin Lee

I liked the whole look and feel but uninstalled after a few days due to the league being based on goal difference. Six straight wins by at least 5 goals a game and still miles off the bottom. Ok if you want to spend ages getting anywhere. wanted a game with proper point league and single play.

HUGELY pay to win. Boring to look at, it's just tables, letters and numbers. Boring to play, just like a clicker game really. The pub space to chat with others is cool, but seems a bit like if you're not in with the crowd then you may as well talk to yourself, after speaking with some of them they said it takes years to put a decent team together. Who has years to stare at tables and numbers??

Absolutely rigged for players who pay shocking 11 players much higher ranked than opposition lose every single time horrible your defence just pass back and forth to the goalie last 20 minutes if you are behind what a waste of time even trying to build a decent side
