Background Football Manager is the game that I have played the most in my life. I have been playing it since the Championship Manager version and I have always been fascinated by it. In my middle childhood, I collected the rosters of the teams published in newspapers and I used to create my fantasy squads based on the imaginary transfers in my paper notebook. My childhood fantasies came true with computer games, and Football Manager turned out to be the deepest of them all and the most realistic.
