How to Play
Football Manager: Mastering basic navigation
Use your mouse to click through menus and set your lineup. Football Manager controls rely on simple point-and-click logic to swap players or adjust tactics. Don't rush; take a moment to look at player fatigue before clicking start. That is how to play Football Manager without losing your mind during the first week.
Football Manager: Watch your scouting reports
Always check the stats before you sign someone new. A common mistake is buying a high-priced veteran who breaks down after two games. You need to scout younger talent if you want a squad that actually grows. Eventually, the league standings get brutal and you will need every bit of depth.
