13 Nov

Fair prices at every door

No transfer fee, by any route, can go above twice the player's value at his club. Every deal now sits between his minimum price and that ceiling.

Your tactics, exactly as you set them

Your side plays exactly the tactics you set, or balanced if you set none, and the plan screen has new rules. Bowlers are now judged only on the skills of their own craft.

Kit Room: three a day

You can use up to three Kit items a day on your players, and the Kit Room shows a physio counter. The Team Dinner and the Team Energy Drink now come only from the Legends' Trunk.

Quick answers

Is Square Leg free?

Yes. The beta is free, and nothing in it charges real money.

Do I have to watch my matches?

No. Matches play themselves at their kickoff times, even while you sleep. Be at the ground by kickoff and your XI gets a morale lift.

How long is a season?

One real month. Every league rolls into the next season together on the 1st, and every player turns a year older.

Can I buy my way up?

No. Promotion is won on the pitch. Every club runs close to break-even, and no transfer fee can go above twice a player's value.

Who runs the other clubs?

Some are run by other people, most by computer managers who play by exactly the same rules as you.
