This is how it plays

A real goal in the 2D viewer and real screenshots of the game, untouched. Tap one to see it full size.

A real match in the 2D viewer: all 22 players, the ball and the goal, exactly as it happened.

01 · How to play

Two minutes a day. A whole season of rivalry.

  1. 01 · Join

    Take a club

    We give you a club in the bottom division. You name it, christen the stadium and it's yours. You start from the bottom, like the greats.

  2. 02 · Eleven

    Prepare the match

    Line-up, subs and set-piece takers. Each player performs according to where you put him: a full-back at centre-back plays at 85 %, and it shows.

  3. 03 · Tactics

    Give orders

    “If we’re losing with twenty minutes left, everyone forward.” Pressing, defensive line, tempo, where to attack… and orders that trigger on their own.

  4. 04 · Engine

    The match plays itself

    Second by second: twenty-two players, the weather, the referee, fatigue and morale. No dice rolls: every goal has its move.

  5. 05 · Staff

    Your backroom staff

    Assistant coach, doctor, scout, head groundskeeper… they warn you and decide for you if you don't log in. The more stars, the fewer mistakes.

Everything the simulator takes into account

04 · Why Fakenine

The best of the greats. Without what drives you away.

No pay-to-win

No energy to refill or paid timers here. What counts is how you manage.

Versus Football Manager

Depth without the hours

The tactics and detail you love, but asynchronous and on your phone: two minutes a day and the engine does the rest.

Versus the classics

Their soul, but online

The rating with the stronger foot, the tactics, the staff in the office… and opponents who are real people.
