The first game in Gremlin's series of football management games. You
start off managing a team in the Conference (the fifth tier of English
football) and aim to progress up the leagues, either by improving your
existing team or earning jobs at better clubs elsewhere.
The
features at your disposal include selecting training regimes, planning
tactics for each match based on your opposition's strengths and
weaknesses, scouting for new players including youth prospects, and
arranging sponsorship and stadium improvements (so as to attract more
fans).
The transfer system is a crucial part of the game, as you
aim to sign players (who are broadly rated in each of the main skill
areas) up against other teams who want them, and sell off players you
don't need. You have an overdraft available, but make sure not to exceed
it.
The game supports up to 4 players, whose matches all take
place at the same time. You can make tactical changes and substitutions
mid-match.
