What Pro League is like to manage in
At an average age of 23.5, this is the youngest squad pool in the game — a league where the rebuild is already half done for you. There are 8.4 rating points between the strongest and weakest first elevens — the favourites are real, but the title is not settled in August. With 168 players aged 21 or under who still have real growth in them, it is one of the better divisions in the game to buy young and sell high.
You get an objective from the board and a budget that rarely matches it. Everything after that — shape, signings, renewals, youth intake, cup priorities — is your call, and the season simulates on it. No download, no account, save kept in your browser.
