FC Manager puts you in control of your team in ways never available before, and it will be up to you to make the right decisions all season long if you're going to make your way onto the leaderboard. The object of the game is simple: accumulate the most points possible as your players score goals, earn assists and make saves.
Your journey to fantasy soccer greatness begins with the selection of your roster. During each "gameweek", you will have 11 active players and four bench players. You'll be given a salary cap of $100, with which you'll create a squad of 15 players (two goalkeepers, five defenders, five midfielders and three forwards). While it might be nice to select your entire team from one MLS squad who is rolling over the competition, you are only allowed up to three players from one team on your FC Manager roster.
There will be three segments of FC Manager throughout the MLS season, and during each of those segments, you'll be able to make transfers and add/drop players from your team. The number of transfers available is limited during each segment and choosing who to pick up can't be based on schedule alone. If you need help with the research, ESPN.com's MLS Soccer section is always available. Make the best decisions and earn the most points during a segment and you could be taking home the top prize, a $1,000 Best Buy gift card.
