What La Liga is like to manage in
Squads here average 25.7 years old — settled enough to compete now, young enough that you are not forced into an immediate rebuild. There are 13.4 rating points between the strongest and weakest first elevens — the favourites are real, but the title is not settled in August. 113 players aged 21 or under still have meaningful growth left, drawn from 63 different nations.
Take the job, read the board's expectations, then build for them: a shape that fits the squad, a window that fixes the gaps, an academy that pays for the next rebuild. It saves to your own browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to sign up for.
