OFM: simple to learn but hard to master

Written by Soccerlens

All football fans are likely to have seen many matches where they wondered just what the players were doing. Weak offence, sloppy teamwork, a general lack of motivation… you had to wonder just what the manager of the team had been doing. Certainly if you’d been the manager, you could have done better than that.

Now, you have the chance to prove it. In Online Football Manager, you can enter football leagues from all over the world, take control of your favourite team, and make all the decisions a team manager usually makes: tactics, formation, line-up, buying and selling players, all is possible. 100,000 football fans of all ages across the globe already actively play the game every day.

Participating is simple, all you have to do is sign up, choose your league and team, and make your decisions. Every night a match is played, and based on the results you can choose to adapt your tactics. Is your next opponent FC Barcelona? Playing it safe might be wise. Aggressive tactics may do better against teams with a weak defence, but is it worth the risk of injuries and suspensions? You be the judge.

While logging in daily is not necessary, doing so will let you take quick actions such as buying newly available players, replacing players who have become exhausted and need to rest, and giving bench players a chance to shine to increase their morale. If all else fails, you can even put your team through a special training camp to give them the boost they need to be victorious.

Signing up for Online Football Manager is completely free, but there is also the option to purchase a Season Ticket for a small fee to gain access to additional options. Examples are the option to scout players abroad, expanding the team’s stadium, and watching every match live as it happens including commentary from a football commentator. It’s as if you’re right there in the stadium!

Simple to learn but hard to master, Online Football Manager provides a long-lasting challenge for all who aspire to take their favourite real-life football team to the top. No matter your age, nationality or team preference, all football fans will find something to enjoy. Take up the mantle of football manager today, and show the world how champions are made!

  1. I found out about this league early this summer and found it was a great time playing. I couldn’t get the team I wanted because of lack in experience. Man Utd fan! Signed on with Portsmouth and I’m about midway in tables. 11th.
    I bought a season ticket and it helps a lot. just $3. I created a seperate account and signed on with Fulham and am sitting in 2nd in the league uin the 7th week. now how does that happen?? haha But all-in-all it’s a great fantasy league. see ya’ll on fantasypremierleague.com under the name Dream United. GLORY, GLORY MAN UNITED!!!!

    The exact same thing happened to me Jason. Because lack of experience I had to start with Manchester City and ended 13th on my first season, on my second 7th and on 3rd I switched to Tottenham and ended 7th again. Fourth season I switched to La Liga with Espanyol and ended 9th and my last season before I got bored I played with Villareal and ended 4th. I was never able to get Liverpool in the Premier nor a really really good team in La Liga though. :S

    I have been played it almost 1 year. Now I’m with AS Monaco.
    I always dream for coaching Barcelona, but it never happened.
    Same with you all, I coach for an unkwnown team for me , Austria Wien.
    I have a unusual experience. When i coach a big team like Arsenal or MU, I always get bad standing, but when I coaching middle or inferior team, I always get what they want.
    Until now, I’m not play with Season Ticket.
