- Say where you're fromYour country sets your league, your currency and your time zone. Choose with care: it can't be changed later. If your league's matches would fall in your night, the app warns you first.
- Make the club yoursName the club, design its crest (shape, badge and colours) and name your ground. You can change any of it later from More → Edit club identity.
- Meet the pressThree questions at your unveiling. Your answers set the tone with the fans and the dressing room.
- Pick your XI and captainThen play a friendly. Nothing in it counts, so try things. Afterwards you're told when your first league match starts, in your own time.
Sign your marquee star
The board gives you one star signing, on the house. You choose from five players: a wicketkeeper, a pace bowler, a spinner, a batter and an all-rounder.
- No fee, ever. The board covers it.
- His contract runs for five seasons.
- You can sign him on any day, even when the transfer window is shut.
Pick the one your squad needs most, not just the biggest name.
Today: your to-do list
The Today card on your Home screen lists what needs you right now: set your XI for the next match, answer the press, reply to bids for your players, send players to the nets, open your daily Kit Bag and be at the ground for kickoff.
In your first week it also deals out a few starter jobs: choose your main sponsor, sign your marquee and hire your first scout.
Show up every day
Open the app once a day and you're managing: when the day turns over, the owner pays your club a daily stipend. A day you miss isn't paid back, so make it a habit.
Being there on match day matters even more. A manager at the ground by kickoff gives the XI a morale lift. More on that in Match day.
