CREATE A PRO
Create a player and grow over the seasons with over 500 accomplishments. Each player you
create has his own individual journey, enabling you to play multiple player careers in different
positions and play for different clubs.
Player Objectives
In your Player Career, keep track of manager-assigned objectives. These objectives, completed
in your league, include goal-scoring targets, chances created, winning tackles, and passing
efficiency.
Your player is also given short-term targets, which are pulled from the league objectives given
by his manager. These targets are based on the skill level of your player’s opposition and
whether the team is home or away.
Request Transfer or Loans
If you feel it’s time for a change or want more playing time to build up your player’s skills, you
can request your club for a transfer or go out on loan for a season. To do this, go to My Actions
and select any of the options. Be warned, your club ultimately decides what they want to do, so
you may not get what you wish for.
MANAGER CAREER
You are in control of the team’s finances and must manage the budget, including transfers,
negotiations, and player contracts. Play as a manager and reach ultimate glory at the domestic
and international level. Rise to prominence and keep the board pleased by winning prestigious
cups, winning your league, and managing a national team to win major tournaments.
MANAGEMENT TIPS!
` Be sure to review your line-up before playing a game! Every player can make a difference to
the outcome.
` Use all the search options to find the right player to complete your squad, and listen to
feedback that your negotiator provides for a successful signing.
` Take notice of your assistant coach’s player assessment. His analysis of every player’s
talent lets you know which young players deserve more time on the pitch.
TAKE CONTROL
INTERNATIONALS
Whether you’re a player or a manager, you may be eligible to participate in international
competition with your national team. As a player, you have to put in strong performances
with your club to get noticed by your national team’s manager. As a manager, offers to coach
national teams are based on how well you are performing at the club level.
CAPTAIN/FITNESS/FORM/MORALE
The decisions you make in Career Mode can have a direct effect on the morale of your players,
leading to a change in their performance on the pitch. Form and energy also play a big part in
your team’s performance, so view the Squad Report and Squad Ranking screen to stay up to
date on everyone’s key indicators. Players can go beyond good or bad form into extreme good
or bad form if key statistical indicators such as goals, assists, or clean sheets per game also
support their match ratings. The captain you choose affects on the organization of your team on
the pitch, so ensure you select a wise head to lead your team once they cross the white line.
EUROPEAN COMPETITION IN THE FIRST SEASON
Start the Champions Cup and Euro League right away in the first season. To enable this,
select the option in the Career Mode introduction flow and decide what clubs you want to have
participating in either competition.
PLAYER ACTION POPUP
In your Player Career, use the Action Popup to submit transfer/loan requests or decide to retire.
In your Manager Career, use the Action Popup to view more information about a player, or
quickly submit enquiries or transfer bids. Use this as your hub to take actions on players you
hear about or transfer targets that you have.
REQUEST FUNDS
If you need more money to make a big signing to improve your squad, submit a proposal to the
board. Be careful, as you may need to promise a better season end result to have the board
accept the request.
TRANSFER SHORTLIST
Shortlist any transfer targets that you have and compare their attributes in the Transfer
Shortlist screen.
YOUTH ACADEMY
Build up your club’s youth system so you can grow from within and find the best young talent
to set you up for the future. Having a healthy youth squad is integral to building a strong team.
Send scouting agents to locales all over the world to discover and hire new players.
TALK TO PRESS
A good manager takes care of his team on every level. Before games, you have a chance to
speak to the press. Use this time to make statements about individuals, teams, or the opposing
team or manager and affect their performance in the next game.
TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY
Expect to see major transfers and a lot of excitement as star players shift teams as the clock
counts down each hour. Use this day to make last minute transfer improvements to your squad.
