If you love Football Manager but want something you can play for free, from any browser, against real people instead of the computer, Planetarium Manager (PManager) is built for you. You take charge of a club, build the squad, set the tactics, train your players and fight for promotion and trophies in a football world that has been running since 2004.
What it has in common with Football Manager
Squad and tactics: pick your line-up, formation and tactics, and prepare match events for the situations a game can throw at you.
Training and youth: plan your training, develop young players and promote the best talents from your youth academy.
Transfers: scout, bid for and sell players on a transfer market where every other bidder is a real manager.
Club management: balance wages, ticket prices and your stadium to keep the club's finances healthy.
Competitions: national leagues with promotion and relegation, domestic cups, continental and international club competitions, and national teams coached by managers from the community.
What makes it different
Free to play: nothing to buy and nothing to download. An optional PM Fan subscription adds extra features without giving a direct advantage in the game.
Real opponents: the leagues are full of human managers, with computer-controlled teams only where there are free places.
The game never stops: matches are played on a fixed schedule and your club keeps going when you log off, so a few minutes a day is enough.
Play anywhere: it runs in your web browser on desktop, tablet and phone.
A community: forums, blogs, friendly matches and national teams with managers from 66 countries, in 32 languages.
