How Manager11 works, in numbers
Manager11 is a free football manager game you play in a web browser or on the iOS and Android apps. Everyone plays in one shared, persistent world of 2,087 clubs in 164 leagues. You manage one club: pick the team, set the tactics, buy and sell players and run the finances. The matches are simulated by the game's match engine on a fixed schedule.
Every figure below is read from the live game database, so it describes the game as it is today.
Who runs the clubs
602 of the 2,087 clubs have a human manager, and 210 of those managers have signed in during the last 7 days. The other 1,485 clubs are run by the game's AI, which picks lineups, sets tactics and buys, sells and loans players in the same market as everyone else.
That means every league is always full and every fixture is played, whether or not the manager on the other side is online. New managers are given a club when they sign up, and can apply for other jobs as their reputation grows.
The league pyramid
There are 164 leagues across 14 tiers, with promotion and relegation between them. Most leagues have 12 clubs.
The top 4 tiers are one global pyramid that every club is ultimately climbing towards. Below them the world splits into 16 regional pyramids (Africa, Argentina, Asia, Australia, Brazil, Central Europe, Croatia, Eastern Europe, England, Greece, Italy, Middle East, Poland, Scandinavia, Spain, USA), each 10 tiers deep.
On top of the leagues there are domestic cups and trophies, and national teams play in their own international competition.
Match times and season length
A gameday is played every hour, around the clock. A season is 61 gamedays, which is 61 hours of real time, or about 2.5 days.
Each season has 22 league rounds, so every club plays every other club in its league twice, home and away. The remaining 39 gamedays are used for cup and trophy rounds.
You do not need to be online when your match is played. Set your team and tactics before kick-off and the game uses them.
Live matches
44% of this season's competitive fixtures have been played as live matches, which you can follow minute by minute and change while they are running: substitutions and tactic changes take effect in the match. The rest are simulated in one go when the gameday runs.
The match engine is based on ESMS (the Electronic Soccer Management Simulator), a long-running text simulation format, with commentary and match statistics for every game.
