Your first clubVerify your email, request a club and meet your players.

Create an account and follow the verification link in your email. Then open My club to request a team.
If no club is available, join the waiting list. Once you have a club, check the roster, next fixture and available funds.

Keep in mind: Stay active: a club can be reassigned after 65 days of manager inactivity.

Fixtures and live gamesCheck the kickoff time and prepare before the deadline.

Open your dashboard for upcoming fixtures. Lineup changes close five minutes before kickoff, including at the exact deadline.
Follow commentary during the game. Final results and complete statistics appear when the match is over.

Keep in mind: Deadlines follow UTC. League games are scheduled on Sundays at 18:00 UTC, with Wednesday league rounds in the first eight weeks. Always use the time shown for your fixture.

Lineups and tacticsPick five starters, their reserves and a style of play.

Choose eligible players from your current senior roster. A player cannot fill two positions in the same lineup.
Save a default lineup, then adjust individual matches when needed. Leaving a match setting unchanged lets it use your default.

Keep in mind: Skills, work rate, experience, size and fatigue all matter. Injured players may be unavailable; check eligibility before saving.

Training and coachesChoose a skill and intensity for each training group.

Set training separately for guards and big players. Review the weekly report before changing your plan.
Keep an eye on your coach’s motivation, wage and renewal offer. More intense training can add fatigue and does not guarantee a larger improvement.

Keep in mind: Weekly training runs on Thursday. A qualifying start with playing time in the preceding seven days matters; playing only as a substitute is not enough. Injured players cannot train while their injury is at least one week.

Injuries and recoveryTrack recovery and plan medical upgrades.

Check injured players and recovery reports in the medical center. A better center improves recovery after its upgrade finishes.
Review the full price and completion date before starting an upgrade. Money already reserved for other commitments is not available.

Keep in mind: Upgrades to levels 1–5 cost €100,000 / €250,000 / €1,000,000 / €2,500,000 / €5,000,000 and take 10 / 20 / 30 / 45 / 60 days.

Recruit a senior playerChoose a camp budget and review the fee before signing.

Set the camp to closed, €25,000 or €50,000. Changing the setting is free; the fee is charged when you recruit.
You can recruit once per Friday-to-Friday interval. The new player is 16 or 17 and joins your senior roster.

Youth academy and scoutsDevelop young players and search for new talent.

Use the academy to manage your youth squad and training. Check a player’s eligibility before promoting or releasing them.
Give scouts a search plan, then review their offers. Check fees, expiry dates and any waiting period before confirming.

Arena and supportersPlan seating, construction and supporter spending.

Enter the seating changes you want, then review the arena quote. Construction can reduce the seats available for matches until work finishes.
Check fan reports after official results. Manage cheerleader funding separately and confirm its current cost before spending.

Money and sponsorsBudget with available funds, not just your balance.

Review wages, income and unpaid bills in Finances. Reserved funds cannot be spent twice, and overdue bills can block new purchases.
Compare sponsor offers before their deadlines. Confirm the tax, payment dates and net amounts; a forecast is only an estimate.

Keep in mind: Weekly finances are updated on Friday. Sponsor meetings take at least 24 hours. Sponsor income has a 10% tax; use the offer’s displayed net payments when budgeting.

Buying and selling playersCheck the price, deadline and available funds before bidding.

Use the bid range shown on the auction. A leading bid reserves its full amount until you are outbid or the auction is resolved.
List your own players from Transfers. Listings are free and last one to five days; the page shows the maximum asking price.

Keep in mind: Bids close at the exact deadline. A bid with less than three minutes remaining extends the previous deadline by 37 seconds; at exactly three minutes it does not.

Auction results and feesWait for the auction result before relying on a transfer.

Check the completed auction for the buyer, fee and net proceeds. With no bids, the player stays at the selling club.
If you win your own auction, you keep the player and pay a 10% buyback fee. After buying a player from another club, add them to your lineup yourself.

Keep in mind: A resale profit fee can apply after a qualifying previous purchase. It takes all positive profit on holding day 1, half on day 31 and none from day 61. This is a fee rule, not a ban on selling earlier.

Seasons and promotionFollow the table and your promotion or relegation place.

Open My seasons for fixtures, final standings and playoff pairings. Your league position determines whether you move directly or play a playoff.
Lower-league runners-up host their playoff opponents. A win earns promotion; a loss leaves both clubs in their current tiers.

End-of-season changesReview prizes and prepare for the next season.

Season history shows your final position, prizes and supporter changes. Check the next fixture once the new season is available.
Review your squad again after annual player changes. Recheck training, wages and your lineup before the opener.

Statistics and player careersCompare completed performances and follow your players.

Use Statistics to compare performances across matches and seasons. Open a player’s profile for their career.
A transfer does not erase earlier appearances: each performance remains with the club and season in which it happened.

More ways to competeExplore friendlies, cups, national teams and contests.

Arrange friendlies or create a friendly tournament. Check entry rules and deadlines for youth cups, international competitions and national-team events.
Try national fantasy or enter the three-point contest. Check the contest page for eligible players and the next available entry.

Community and messagesTalk to other managers and manage unwanted contact.
