Sunday League FM: Manage the Mud, Master the Mayhem!
Tired of polished football sims? Welcome to Sunday League Football Manager (SLFM), the authentic, hilarious world of grassroots football! Manage questionable pitches, legendary excuses, hungover players, and pub-based tactics. Your biggest worry? Getting ‘Sicknote’ Steve to pay his overdue subs.
UNRIVALLED PLAYER DEPTH: SLFM features a deep personality and relationship system:
Core Personalities: Manage fiery Egos, reliable Dedicated types, sensitive Peacemakers, and unreliable Socialites. Each reacts differently to your approach.
Personality Archetypes: Handle specific traits like the Prima Donna, Workhorse, or Joker.
“Thinks They Are…” vs “Really Are…”: Witness the hilarious disconnect between a player’s self-perception (e.g., ‘The Baller’) and their hidden flaw under pressure (e.g., ‘The Juggler’), driving unique match commentary!
Squad Chemistry: Players form Friendships, Best Mate bonds (based on shared archetypes), and bitter Rivalries (from clashes or events). These active relationships impact on-pitch chemistry, trigger unique messages, training fights, and even players quitting in solidarity!
THE SUNDAY LEAGUE EXPERIENCE:
The Weekly Grind: Live the authentic cycle: Monday match fallout & recovery, Wednesday training (manage attendance/effort!), Friday excuses flooding your inbox, Sunday Match Day drama.
Match Day Mayhem: Experience games via witty, cutting text commentary reflecting player actions and archetypes. Set tactics (from ‘Hoof It!’ to ‘Park the Bus’), adjust mentality (Attacking/Balanced/Defensive), make 3 crucial subs, and spend ‘Shout’ points for temporary player boosts. Face AI managers with distinct tactical styles. Deliver vital Half-Time Team Talks – choose your approach carefully based on personalities. Use F-Bombs for the legendary ‘Hairdryer’!
Training Troubles: Choose focus (Fitness, Cohesion, Skill). Monitor player effort (from ‘Skiving’ to ‘Beasting It’). Intervene wisely with Praise, Encourage, Motivate, or the Hairdryer, spending Shout points – impact varies by personality!
The Dog & Duck Pub – Your Second Office: Essential post-match hub! Listen to player concerns (costs 1 Pint), engage in morale chats, award Man of the Match (costs 1 Pint), and attempt to collect those overdue subs! Scout new talent mid-week or pre-season by buying rounds until their tolerance drops and they sign. Handle poaching tips.
Dodgy Finances: Juggle a tight budget. Pay weekly costs, match fees, and league fines for yellow/red cards (then chase the player!). Run unreliable fundraisers (Quiz Night, Sponsored Run) and secure vital sponsorship deals. Buy essential gear like balls and nets, plus end-of-season awards.
BUILD YOUR LEGACY:
Climb the Ladder: Battle your way through an 8-division league structure with promotion and relegation.
Cup Glory: Compete for the coveted cup trophy each season.
Manager’s Journal: Track your career progress – view your CV (stats, win %), relive key events season-by-season in your biography, admire your trophy cabinet, check club records, and monitor your biggest team rivalries.
SLFM is a deep, text-based simulation RPG designed for portrait mode, making it the perfect companion for your commute, lunch break, or even a quiet pint. If you crave a management game with real character, strategic depth beyond just stats, and a hefty dose of authentic humour, this is it.
