About the Game

Football Fictional World Simulator is a game about watching football history happen—and deciding when to give it a small push.

You are not a manager. You do not select lineups, design tactics, run training sessions or control matches. The clubs and national teams make those decisions for themselves. Your direct involvement is focused entirely on the transfer market.

Clubs identify players, negotiate deals and bring transfer proposals to you. You decide whether each move should be approved or rejected. A single decision might change a player’s career, rescue a struggling club or alter the balance of an entire league.

There are two ways to play:

  • Intervene in the transfer market and influence the football world

  • Leave every decision to the clubs and play as a completely hands-off observer

You can move freely between these styles. Approve a few transfers that interest you, then step back and watch their consequences unfold over the next five, ten or fifty years.

The game simulates a large fictional football world:

  • 63 countries and 94 leagues across five continents

  • Major competitions and smaller, less familiar leagues

  • Promotion and relegation

  • Domestic leagues and cup competitions

  • Continental club tournaments

  • Senior, U-23 and U-20 national teams

  • World Cup qualifying and continental championships

  • Player development, transfers, retirement and new generations

  • Seasonal awards, Best XIs and historical records

A full year can be simulated in around ten minutes, depending on your computer. This makes it possible to move far beyond the length of a normal football career. You can follow a promising teenager until retirement, watch a small club gradually become a continental power, or simulate 100 years and explore a football world that no longer resembles the one you started with.

Matches are handled by a text-based match engine. Results are not simply selected from a random score table. Player attributes, positions, formations, team strength, attacking moves, shots, saves, substitutions and the changing state of the match all affect what happens.

After each season, you can explore far more than goals and assists:

  • Appearances, starts and substitute appearances

  • Average match ratings

  • Shots and shots on target

  • Passing, defensive and goalkeeper statistics

  • Player careers and transfer histories

  • Club and competition records

  • Seasonal, regional and world Best XIs

The transfer system is deliberately limited. You cannot freely sign every talented young player or rebuild a club in a single transfer window. Clubs choose their own targets, players sometimes move to unexpected destinations, and the ideal proposal may never arrive. Your role feels less like personally constructing a squad and more like giving the final signature to decisions made by the football world around you.

Club football includes domestic competitions and continental tournaments such as the Champions League, Europa League, AFC Champions League and Copa Libertadores. International football includes World Cup qualification, continental championships, the Olympic tournament and U-20 competitions.

Over time, the results begin to feel like a history of their own. A striker from a minor league may become the greatest international scorer of his generation. A former powerhouse may spend decades outside the top division. A small country may produce an exceptional generation and reach a World Cup final.

You can influence this world through transfers, or simply let it run. Either way, the game is about finding the stories that only appear when football is given enough time.
