your Football Manager 2021 experience.
Football Manager is one of the most complete games you can buy. Some people have poured blood, sweat and tears into this game and take it very seriously. You can take it as seriously as you like but it just goes to show that there is enough for anyone to have a great experience on this game.
Picking a club
This will be one of your first steps and it is also one of the most important.
If it is your first time playing, then I would suggest picking your favourite
team in real life. This way, you already have an idea of the squad, your
preferred eleven and some of the youngsters, and you are guaranteed to get
into it because it is after all your favourite team, and you are at the reins.
If it is not your first time playing, then I would suggest having some criteria to pick your team from. For example, if you want to spend some money pick Manchester City rather than Hull City, and if you like playing good football rather than grinding out results, go for Arsenal over Burnley. Other than that another option would be to pick your team based on their current form, most bookmakers offer odds on games and many of the best sites give them away for free without the need for you to signup for an account.

Plan for the long term
It is important to remember in this game that you are the manager, and you are trying to implement your vision or playstyle to your team in order to help them win. This can not be done in three games and two transfers, so make sure to plan for the future: invest in youth players, send out scouts and make sure you are keeping everyone in the club as happy as you possibly can.
Learn about the game
In order to get the most out of Football Manager, you need to know what it is actually offering. If you rush through everything you are doing and blame the game for being boring, then you are doing the equivalent of judging a fish on its ability to climb a tree. Football Manager is a beautiful game with many intricacies that will take hours and hours to learn, but that is part of the fun with the game. Once you have enjoyed learning everything about the game, then you can enjoy mastering it.
Use everything at your disposition
For some more specific tips, make sure that you are taking advantage of everything that your club has to offer. Every staff member can be instructed to do something, and the newest version of the game even has two new roles: the Loan Manager and the Technical Director.
If you are not giving them a job to do, then you are missing out on potential singings and other elements of the game. The other advantage of this is that it allows you to delegate responsibility and concentrate on what you enjoy the most and find the most rewarding. Some people are only interested in the actual matchdays. If that is the case, then you can set your game up so that is all you do.
