Eight Ways to Play

Every game mode lives in the same world. Your actions ripple across the entire ecosystem.

🏟️

Football Manager

3 Roles: Manager, Trainer, Chairman

One club, three ways to lead. Play as a Manager setting tactics and signing players, a Trainer developing youth prospects and running sessions, or a Chairman making board-level decisions on finances, stadium upgrades, and staff. Rise from League Two to the Premier League across four divisions.

Sports Agent

Broker. Negotiate. Dominate.

Bookmaker

Mob Boss

Fear. Power. Blackmail.

Start as a street gang and build a criminal empire. Fix matches, run extortion rackets, launder money through front businesses, and deploy a ruthless blackmail system — plant informants, gather intel, and issue demands that can break rival families. But the higher you climb, the harder you fall.

One Connected Universe

Everything Is Connected

Actions in one game mode create ripples across every other. This isn't six separate games — it's one living world.

🤝→🌙

Agents broker player appearance deals at nightclubs. Higher-profile clients pack the venue and command bigger fees.

🍔→🏟️

Food trucks grab route slots outside stadiums. Bigger crowds on match day mean more hungry customers and higher profits.

🎰→⚽

Bookmakers set odds on every match. Your team's form, transfers, and scandals directly shift the betting markets.

🔫→🎰

The Mob Boss launders dirty money through bookmaker shops and nightclub venues. Everyone has a price — and a breaking point.

🔫→📋

The Mob Boss gathers dirt on everyone. Blackmail targets include rival families, corrupt officials, and anyone with something to hide.

🌙→🏟️

Players spotted partying before a big match? Board confidence drops. Scandals make headlines and ripple through every mode.

"Your nightclub books a star player for an appearance. Their agent takes 15% commission. The player gets spotted by paparazzi. Their manager's board confidence drops. The food truck outside sells record burgers to fans discussing the scandal. The bookmaker adjusts odds. The mob boss smiles — he's already blackmailing the player's agent and fixed the match."
