Planetarium Manager is a free online football management game. You're a football manager in control of your own team, competing in a fantasy league against other human managers or computer-controlled teams (bots).
The game never ends and never stops. It's available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You can login and check on your team whenever you want, and the game will keep on running even after you log off.
Planetarium Manager is available today in 66 different countries and 32 languages. And we plan to keep on expanding as necessary in the future. If your country or language is still not available, just contact us.
The objective of the game is different from manager to manager. It can be to have one or more players in a national team, to aim for league or cup glory, or simply to achieve stability by raising and training your players properly. You define your own objectives. However, we can say Planetarium Manager is all about starting from the very bottom and achieving planetarium success.
It's your choice… are you ready to embrace this challenge and become the best manager in the Planet?
We are very happy to announce today the release of the MvM mini-game in PManager
The idea behind this game is quite simple: it’s essentially a clash between two managers that will control 11 players at the same time. You will use your players and their skills and play against other managers in a real-time, turn based mini-game.
The best managers will be awarded with PM Fan Coins, a new concept that we will release in the next couple of weeks. There will be daily, weekly and monthly rankings on which you will win these awards. For competition purposes, there is also an All-Time ranking and a country ranking.
All the rules of Foobbuteo are explained on the Help page, that you can find if you go to MvM top menu. This game will be available to all PManager users, even if non PM Fan users can only play 5 matches a week. On this top menu you can also find all the other options of this feature. Please hit Control+F5 to refresh your browser’s cache!
Have fun!

Player Talents and Career Management Mode
With the new season we are introducing two new features in PM: Player Talents and the Career Management Mode.
Player Talents have been announced back in early April. You can find full details on the next page. All the players promoted during this season can already have talents.
Career Management Mode is a new feature that will change the way you manage clubs in PManager. Up until now you could only manage clubs of your own nationality. With this feature you have the possibility to move to foreign countries. Here are the full details for this new feature: - A country can only have up to 25% of their teams controlled by foreign managers. - All bot teams can receive applications. After an application is made, an auction for the management of the team is open for 15 days. At the end of these 15 days, a decision is made by the board of the club. The decision is purely based on the manager’s reputation. We understand that some of you are not happy with the way manager’s reputation is calculated. You must understand that his formula has a very strong weight of your country’s (ITC) reputation and on your last 4 seasons as a manager (standings are very important). In general we are happy with the way the formula is working but we are always ready to make improvements. - Once an human manager leaves a team, the team will not get an immediate reset. Instead, the team is kept unchanged for 15 days. This will allow other human managers to apply to this team. If no one applies the team will be reset after the initial 15 days. During these 15 days the team will keep his players, funds and structures. A new possible manager will inherit these conditions. - If you move to another team, your team name will only be kept if the team has its original (bot) team name. In case you win the job for a team that recently lost its manager you will have to keep the team’s name. Obviously that you can change it later if you have PM Fan. - Bot teams finances are reset to 1.000.000€ at the end of each season (excluding teams that are waiting for a reset or teams that are in a middle of a manager auction). - You can’t apply to your previous team (example: if you are fired due to bankruptcy you cannot apply to your old team). - Once you win a manager auction for a certain team, you must remain on the team for a complete season. This means that you cannot apply for another team for the next 78 days. - Once you move to another team all your previous players, funds and structures are kept in your previous team. And your previous team will be available for other managers to pick. We will punish managers that "vandalize" their previous teams just before moving to a new team. - To apply to another team just open the team’s page and select the option on the top-right of your screen. You can only apply for one club at the same time.
You can find a general link for this option at the Manager menu. It’s called "Job Center". If you do not see this link please hit Control+F5. At this page you can find information about your applications and also about clubs with ongoing manager applications.
What do we intend to bring with this feature, a lot might ask? Well, we are aware that this changes the way the users will relate with the community/countries, their clubs, leagues and their National Teams. However it does not changes the real identity of the game, the way you play the game, train the players, build your team, etc. We are very aware that this is a risky move, but we really want to take these risks. It’s a new face of the game, gives new and old users a new way to play this game if they really want to.
With this feature, you can now say, more than ever: "It’s your choice... are you ready to embrace this challenge and become the best manager in the Planet?"
During the course of this new season we are also introducing MvM mode (manager vs manager) so that you can have some additional fun in PM’s website. It will be a totally optional mini-game where you can play with other users in real-time. All users will have the change to play this mini-game, even in non PM Fan users will have some restrictions.
The Eight-Finals will be played next Wednesday at 20:00, server time, and we’ll have the following matches:
Greece vs Brazil Portugal vs Poland Italy vs Croatia Bulgaria vs Chile Denmark vs Bosnia and Herzegovina Thailand vs Spain Hungary vs Serbia Argentina vs Netherlands
As usual, let us make our own preview and expectations for this edition. Let’s start with the favorites: - Portugal is the number one favorite for us. They keep the same manager and they have their historical past supporting them. They’ve won the title six times. Will they attempt to win the World Cup again without using MOTS? - We are looking forward to see Hungary’s performance as well. Probably ahead of the usual suspects such as Italy, Spain, Poland and Brazil. - We reserve this line for surprises. We don’t expect them to happen but we’d love to be surprised!
Now, funny facts: - This is the 13nd edition of the World Cup. The National Team with most titles is Portugal with now 6 wins. - From the qualified National Teams, only 3 are not in the top 16 of the ranking: Croatia (17th), Bulgaria (20th) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (34th). - The big surprise is the absence of Romania. One of the best National Teams in the history of PM misses this event. France, a World Cup winner also misses the tournament. - On the other hand Croatia is playing their first edition ever. Great job by their manager, VELIMIR1111! Also, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the first World Cup winner ever, is back after almost two years (their last match was on October/2008).
And that’s it! Next Wednesday we’ll see what happens. As usual we would like to wish good luck for all the participating communities and congratulate them for reaching this stage. May the best win!
