About

In your 30s, you quit your corporate job to become the owner of a football team. You have used your savings of 15 million yen to buy a stadium. Though it is called a stadium, it is a small facility with only 300 seats. No sponsors will support a tiny grassroots football team. You must earn promotion to attract sponsors. If you cannot achieve promotion within 3 years, you will go bankrupt, resulting in a Game Over. Your current capital is 15 million yen. You need to use this money to hire a coach who can lead the team to promotion. Your starting roster consists of 16 players gathered from local clubs, all 18 years old. ST Chris (OVR 50), CF Sebas (OVR 58), AMF Dori (OVR 64), MF Tom (OVR 63), MF Sam (OVR 54), DMF Mashid (OVR 61), CB Cam (OVR 59), CB Evertson (OVR 55), LSB Noyce (OVR 54), RSB Matson (OVR 58), GK Daliard (OVR 60), GK Mashid (OVR 54), CB Sun (OVR 48), MF Mas (OVR 52), MF Kamaruis (OVR 56), CF Doma (OVR 49). These are your 16 players.
