Ratings and reviews

Compared to most other football manager games, this one stands out as one of, if not the best. Top Eleven is extremely pay-to-win. You have to purchase tokens to buy players. Some others have extremely long wait times for building. So far I am enjoying the game as a whole. There are maybe a few things that could be added, like hiring a physiotherapist for quicker injury recoveries. Building of training facilities to enhance the rate of player improvement.

Interesting and good to play; nice way of interacting and at least a football/soccer management game where you don't start with money and/or budget problems. The developer has some interesting ideas resulting in a good management game, some call it old school, but certainly interesting for everyone else too! Recommend it, also for details in game, for example the way of sponsorship deals, youth recruits and the in-game chat development. And Physio's are at the health club later. Ty, good game!

Oh my goodness. What a game. I was just downloading it for something to do when I was bored but quickly got hooked. From the in depth manager experience to the fun league format to the sponsor challenges to the awesome, friendly community, this game is incredible. Absolutely zero ads and just playtime. Only negative thing is that I wish you could make substitutions mid game. I 100% recommend if you want to have fun being a manager. Massive thanks to the producer for making this brilliant game.
