Played over six rounds, you buy and sell in the transfer market adding strength. Use Tactics Cards before and after the Match Day Roll – where coloured dice are used to reflect scoring and influence league positions. During the game you’ll experience injuries, knocks and over 50 events including social media mishaps, night club nightmares, academy stars, billionaire buyouts, sell-on fees and many more. The winner is the Club who most exceeds the expectations of their fans at the end of the season.
