Synopsis
Soccer manager is an online Football/Championship Manager where every opponent could be another human, controlling their team, interacting in transfer market, handling player concerns and wages etc.
Its a cross between Football Manager sim, Fantasy Football and older paper based fantasy football manager type games. You don't see any action, its similar to the text commentary on FM, you build your team, pick your squad, set up tactics/instructions and get a match report back after the game with how your players did and the likes.
Signing up
Signing up was very fast and painless, just go to the link above, and sign up
Once you get the hang of the game, it is quite addictive and welcome sidetrack for a few minutes a day to take your mind of work.
Your team
Players only have overall ratings, with traits if you check the players SM wiki (each player has a wiki link on their page, where they might be free kick specialists, leaders etc). Morale, condition and total rating are the 3 aspects you use to select players. There's a decent amount of depth to what you can choose tactically, how you monitor your opponent and set your team up to counter theirs is important with the new engine they have introduced.
Transfers
The bread and butter of any football management sim.
First of all, player ratings are not affected by how your player does in the game. there's no point signing a young 18 yr old and playing every game with the intention of developing him into a superstar. Player ratings are based on real life performance. Their cash value is also based on rating, age and potential. So for example, Luke Shaw had a great season this year in the premier league, and is very young, so he is EXPENSIVE and SOUGHT AFTER!!! Bidding wars will begin then over players like that So you wanna get good at this and know the best players? You gotta know what's happening in the real world. Different regions ratings are reviewed at different times and seem to occur all year round, where ratings go up and down.
You can negotiate player deals with humans, and the computer also.
Transfers can take 24-48 hours to be accepted and completed.
Matches
Competitive matches are played twice a week. You can fill in plenty of other days with friendlies against other people as well should you want to, with friendlies not affected by condition and injury. An injured player can take part in a "proper" match, and suspensions also. You can set instructions before matches like "if losing at the 75th minute switch to 3-3-4 and attack aggressively + bring on strikers" etc. You get a match report at the end with stats and so on. It is quite in depth.
Competitions
Worlds are divided into divisions. clubs are relegated and promoted between divisions and relegated managers get sacked. there are also cups, I'm in division 3 and my next game is a game against a team in the top division so should be interesting! You can't have 2 teams in the same world as that could lead to abuse.
