Picked this little gem up two weeks ago and cant stop playing it.

I spent two years in game learning it before starting over again with a new team.
You start off in the amateur comp, slow, potbelly guys running around playing for fun. Most are late 20's, early 30's ready to retire. And your aim is to move up through the leagues.
Halfway through the year I sat in second place when I saw my goalkeeper would retire the next year. A young 16 year old junior popped up so I grabbed him. Sold my old fart GK and put the rookie in his place. I then went on a record breaking loss of games and ended up second last. I knew the pain was coming but in a few years time that rookie will be a brick wall protecting my goal.
If your after something casual, a 60 turn match takes about 5 minutes to play, a season probably takes 2 hours. A game that makes you think about the future of your club.
