OSM vs building your own club
Online Soccer Manager lets you take over real clubs in real leagues, which is a big part of its appeal. The trade-off is that you inherit a club somebody else built, and you compete in shared leagues on a fixed match schedule.
My Football Game takes the other route: you start your own club in the Amateur League and build it up season by season. Every player you sign and every promotion you win is yours.
What you get
- Your own club with a full squad from day one.
- Seasons at your own pace — 18 matchdays, play them when you want. How seasons work.
- Live match simulation with possession and xG.
- A transfer market shared with other managers. See transfer market tips.
- Browser-based — nothing to install, on mobile or desktop.
Which one should you play?
If managing a real club with real names is what you want, OSM does that well. If you would rather write your own story from the bottom division up, with a board watching every result, start a free club in My Football Game.
