About the Game
Deckbuilding goes in two-footed on football management!
Become the gaffer of a classic football team and embark on a nostalgic 20-year journey up and down the English football Divisions through the 1980s and 1990s.
A Game of Two Halves
Pick your line-up and formations, and challenge the opposition in a fast-paced card battler with three points on the line in every match.
Move the Goalposts
The only football game where getting cards is a good thing! Earn card packs by completing challenges. Combine cards to enhance your deck and bully the other team off the pitch.
Get Your Head in the Game
Route one? Tiki-taka? Counter-attacking? Refine skills and strategies in training to earn extra card packs and humble your opponents when Saturday comes.
Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Pick your club, manage player transfers, scout and develop youth talent, and scrap for every place across four Divisions.
Get Stuck In
Manage the entire club from your desk. Control the finances, talk with the press, and hire and fire backroom staff. Don't get too distracted by any retro games on the computer...
Big Game Player
Immerse yourself in some of the most iconic eras of English football. Unlock new clubs each season and decide whether to be a journeyman manager or a one-club hero.
