About This Game

A game for people who love football but don't want to spend hours managing every detail.
Build your team, make the decisions that matter, and enjoy the excitement of season after season.

FOOTBALL MANAGEMENT MADE SIMPLE

Simple Football League Manager is a football management game inspired by the genre classics. Easy to start, hard to master and always about the next match. No endless spreadsheets, no hundreds of player attributes and no need to spend hours preparing for a single match. Pick a club, build your squad, choose your tactics and get to the next match.

Main Features:

• 218 countries, 411 leagues and more than 5,900 clubs – take almost any club on a journey and climb league pyramids through promotions, relegations and play-offs.

• 2 difficulties – choose the default Simple difficulty for the intended challenge or Cozy for a more relaxed experience.

• Local Multiplayer – up to 4 managers can build their careers in the same world on one device.

• Make the football world your own – the included database uses fictional names, but you can export it to .xlsx, edit it on your computer and import it back with just a few clicks.

• Build your team your way – formations, tactics, transfers, training, player development and club finances without unnecessary complexity.

• Play at your own pace – use Fast Matches when you want to move quickly or experience matches more closely in Full Match mode.

• A football world that keeps moving – players develop and retire, new generations emerge and clubs rise and fall across decades of play.

• Play your way – enjoy full mouse support on PC or switch to comfortable controller navigation, including a Steam Deck-ready interface.

CHOOSE YOUR CLUB. BUILD YOUR CAREER.

Take charge of an established top-flight club or begin deep in the lower leagues and attempt a long journey to the top.

Promotion and relegation continuously reshape the football pyramid, while clubs controlled by the game develop, transfer players, compete for trophies and move between divisions.

BUILD AND MANAGE YOUR SQUAD

Every player is defined by a compact set of attributes designed to make decisions quick and understandable.

Manage your active squad and reserves, assign players to positions, choose formations and adjust your tactical approach. Fitness, injuries, suspensions, age and player development all influence the decisions you make throughout the season.

Train your players and decide when to rotate the squad to keep key players ready for important matches.

TRANSFERS AND FINANCES

Search the transfer market, make offers and sell players from your squad.

Your club has an operating budget. Transfer fees, salaries and maintenance costs compete with income from league performance, cups, sponsorships, television rights and other sources. Poor financial decisions can restrict your options, while successful seasons give you more freedom to strengthen the team.

EXPERIENCE MATCHES YOUR WAY

Choose how you want each match to play out:

• Fast Mode gives you the key information and results quickly, while still allowing tactical decisions.

• Full Mode presents each half minute by minute, with each in-game minute passing in one second of real time. Follow goals, chances, cards, injuries, midfield battles and other key moments as they unfold throughout the match. Just like in the classics of the genre, match events are presented through text-based commentary.

Make changes at half-time, react to injuries and manage player stamina across a demanding schedule.

CHOOSE SIMPLE, YET DEMANDING OR GO FULL COZY

Choose between 2 difficulty levels:

• Simple introduces the full stamina, injury, suspension and financial systems while keeping the game accessible and easy to understand. This mode is the true definition of "easy to start, hard to master".

• Cozy offers a more relaxed football management experience. 0% pressure, 100% pure, relaxing football experience.

CUSTOMIZE THE GAME DATABASE

The default database uses fictional club and player identities, but the built-in Database tools allow you to customize names and shape the football world the way you want.

And it's as easy as it gets: simply export the game database to an .xlsx file with one click, edit it and import it back into the game.

LOCAL MULTIPLAYER

Football is best experienced together. Compete with your friends within one chosen league. Local multiplayer supports up to 4 players on one device.
