Club Manager

Take control of a football/soccer club and battle for glory in the league and cup! Can you guide them up from Division 3 to the very top? Can you eventually become the champions of Europe? Buy and sell players, develop youths and improve your stadium along the way.

Draft your squad You’ll start in Division 3 with a mediocre squad of mostly ageing players. Can you shape them into promotion contenders in your first season? Will you supplement the squad with youngsters or dabble in the transfer market?

Place your staff Every week you’ll need to decide how to best use your staff members. Will you get to work on the training pitch, or develop youths, or scout your next opponents, or build club facilities, or, or…there are so many options but not enough time in the week! A smart manager will need to deploy their staff strategically throughout the season.

Play your fixtures! On matchday, you’ll need to pick your best XI to take on that week’s opponents. Where on the pitch will you be able to outfox them? The matchday sequence leaves plenty of room for tactical maneuvers, meaning you can hunt down that win, or hold your opponent at bay, with smart tactical decisions.

Build your legacy The aim of Counter Attack Club Manager is to rise from Division 3 to Division 1…and then become the champions of Europe! You’ll only do that if you make clever strategic decisions across multiple seasons. Sometimes you might need to sacrifice short term goals for the sake of the bigger picture…
