A Hattrick alternative, for when one match a week is not enough
Hattrick has been running in the browser since 1997 and has a loyal community for good reason: it is free, it is deep, and its one-match-a-week rhythm rewards long-term planning. If that pace suits you, there is no reason to leave.
If you want more football in less time, Manager11 is a free browser football manager built around a much faster clock. It plays a gameday every hour, so a full season of 61 gamedays takes 61 hours (about 2.5 days) rather than months.

What carries over from Hattrick
The core is the same kind of game: you are the manager, not a player on the pitch. You pick the starting eleven, choose a formation and tactics, train and develop players, buy and sell in a transfer market, and manage the money. Matches are simulated, and the result depends on the squad you built and the decisions you made beforehand.
What is different
- Pace. A season in about 2.5 days, so you see promotions, relegations and cup runs play out in days rather than months.
- One world, always full. 2,087 clubs across 164 leagues and 14 tiers. Clubs without a human manager are run by an AI that also trades players, so your league never stalls.
- Live matches. Many fixtures are played live and you can make substitutions and change tactics during the game.
- Phone apps. The same account works in the browser and on the iOS and Android apps.
What Hattrick does that we do not
- A very long history and a large, settled community with its own federations and traditions.
- A slow rhythm that fits people who only want to check in a couple of times a week.
- Country-based leagues for real nations. Manager11 uses regional pyramids with fictional clubs and players.
