Football Manager: Auto Chess
Launches 6 November 2026 · PC · Casual, Indie, RPG
A football management game mixed with collection career play. You manage a themed club, schedule training, recruitment and league fixtures, then drag coach cards to command near-realtime matches as you climb from lower leagues to bigger stages.
Story
Matches are more than simple stat checks. Players move, contest the ball, push forward, and look for openings on their own. Read the situation and drag Coach Skill Cards onto specific areas or players to trigger pressing, forward runs, quick counterattacks, and more. Time slows while dragging a card, giving you a moment to read the field before making your move. Your squad isn't limited to modern football. Grassroots village players, Tang Dynasty poets, heroes of Liangshan, Three Kingdoms warlords, Knights of the Round Table, Vikings, and wuxia legends can all join your team. Recruit, train, and rotate players, then build lineups around their traits and synergies to create a team truly your own. Away from the pitch, you'll manage the club's daily schedule. Train players at the training grounds, recruit and socialize in the reception hall, handle club affairs in the administration building, and prepare for the next match. As the season progresses, lead your team from the lowest leagues toward bigger stages. Life at the club is just as exciting off the pitch! Enjoy a variety of fun and relaxing activities with your players, such as playing cards and trying your luck with...
