It's a vocation rather than a game, but as the saying goes: if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life.This means there are new divisions to dominate and a fresh pool of players to scout – unearth the gems hiding in those parts of the world. Flashes of godlike genius interspersed with periods of mysterious mediocrity. But without appropriate management, it's Gareth Bale. If it were a player, it would be world-class, the kind of signing that excites the dourest of fan. No big new signings, but there's already a star in every position and some real talent coming out of the youth team, if you're patient. If it were a team, Football Manager 2022 would be Liverpool. With more options in competition complexity and budget, and improvements to the draft itself, there’s never been a better time to share out the humiliation of failure.

If you want to share such misery, there’s the fantasy draft system allowing you to take that fantasy football league with your mates to another, professional level. I started biting my nails, something I only do watching live games. You can apparently influence journos, I just didn't have much luck doing it. Normally I block that out, but here I was looking at my inbox, about to be interviewed by a journo who had developed inexplicable hatred of my positivity, that no sudden nastiness on my part could assuage and I just upset the rest of the press corps. I did notice that my team had 19 points after 15 games, precisely what the real thing had accrued in the same time, and I suffered the same ennui-that crawling sense of dread and misery, that, yet again, the season was coming to nothing. Somewhere in the layers of data, scattergrams, radar flowers and bar charts was the answer, but I had to accept that while the game was deep and smart, I just wasn't.

You want to be Ted Lasso, but you'll find yourself swiftly corralled into being Alex Ferguson by events and dialogue trees that are out of your control.Ī season into the game and my team played out of its skin one week, and sank into themselves the next, my job saved only by the club's low expectations. I promised he'd get a new contract next season, but he had a big strop out anyway, making trouble in the dressing room. A player complained that he hadn't been offered a new contract, but there was no option to tell him that the club's finances meant I couldn't offer him anything even though I wanted to. I congratulated the dressing room on a decent performance, and they were all instantly demotivated.

The illusion breaks down elsewhere, mostly when interacting with the players. The fans moaned on the social media feed, but haters gonna hate. Executing that piece of business was like three points away to the league-leaders. I tried to get good money for a player running down his contract, knowing he'd be upset if I got in his way, and yet lining up a replacement that I could only afford once the wantaway left-back had been sold. The most basic option gives you 20,000+ players who can be scouted and refuse your offers, and deadline day is edge-of-the-seat stuff.
