Welcome to a blog about various things Football Manager-related.
From player and team statistical analysis to in-depth investigations into finances, squad balance, signings, player development and tactical breakdowns, you’ll find it all here.
I’ve been blogging about Football Manager for around eight years now, on and off, with some different takes on various aspects and have even tried my hand at dabbling in real-life football. However, I’ve been playing Football Manager for more years than I can remember, starting with Championship Manager 2 and Championship Manager 2 Italian leagues.
I hope you enjoy your read.
