FIFA Soccer Manager

FIFA Soccer Manager is aimed at the football fan who would rather decide the lineup than actually run around a pitch for ninety minutes. The game puts you in charge of a club, with responsibility for tactics, transfers, training, finances, and the many small decisions that determine whether a season becomes glorious or embarrassing. Matches are the result of your management choices, so careful preparation matters more than quick reactions. The appeal comes from watching your team develop over time and seeing whether your tactical ideas actually work once the whistle blows. There is plenty of room for experimentation, although football management has a habit of making even the cleverest plan look foolish eventually. FIFA Soccer Manager captures that wonderfully obsessive side of football fandom where buying one new midfielder suddenly becomes a matter of life, death, and several pages of statistics.
