### 3/5 — Hi

*2026-08-29, version 2.0.0*

Best game if you have patience and time it is quite pay to win and the win ratio is random so it can be very hard to get promoted 




Still a good game tho

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-25, version 2.0.0*

10/10

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2026-08-03*

Great game. Simple but really addictive. Scratches that Football Manager itch without being as much of a time sync.

### 5/5 — The goat

*2026-07-30, version 1.9.3*

The best game ever

### 5/5 — Addictive

*2026-07-15, version 1.9.3*

Hardly any adds, speedy game, enjoyable.

### 5/5 — 5/5

*2026-06-21, version 1.9.3*

Amazing game and is very realistic giving you a feel of what it’s like to run your own club

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-06-13, version 1.9.3*

If you want to own a club this game is for you!!!
Such a good game

### 4/5 — Good game but…

*2026-06-04, version 1.9.3*

This game is a really addictive and good game however, there could be improvements. We go on a 10 match win streak then lose 1 and my manager rating drops down by 2%. Also, the manager rating is let’s say 38% so I sack him but then people are dissapointed?
Anyway, overall this game is really good just some things need fixing

### 3/5 — Fun

*2026-06-03, version 1.9.3*

But needs to give you money when you get prater

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-05-31, version 1.9.3*

A little bit complicated with me at first, but then it becomes easier!
