  • +6,000 players — A deep player pool with attributes, market values, personalities and their own career paths.

  • +1,500 staff members — Coaches, scouts, doctors, fitness coaches and sporting directors. Build the organisation that defines your club.

  • +100 sponsors — Negotiate deals for shirt, sleeve, shorts and stadium. Every brand has its own demands and brings different capital to the table.
