Play Pocket Manager

Take your club from Division 3 to world glory.

Play Pocket Manager is an offline single-player football management game, mixing the easy-to-pick-up feel of your first Football Manager game with card collecting and fast six-a-side football.

Start at the bottom in Division 3 with a basic squad. Open player packs, discover new stars and gradually build a team capable of winning promotions, lifting cups and eventually conquering the world.

I originally started making it for my nephew, who loves collecting football cards but had never played a proper management game. I wanted something he could understand straight away while keeping the squad building, progression and tactical decisions that make management games so addictive.

There are no online opponents, multiplayer modes or sign-ups. It’s just you, your squad and the challenge of taking a small Division 3 club as far as it can possibly go.

Matches and seasons move quickly, so you’re never far from your next pack, promotion battle, cup final or major upgrade.

Made with kids in mind. Somehow, adults seem to enjoy it even more. :D

Play Pocket Manager is completely free, with no adverts and no paid packs. Optional donations help support its continued development.

AI assistance

AI tools were used during development to help with programming, testing, writing and some artwork. The game’s concept, design decisions and final direction are my own.
