Idle Progression
Earn while you're away
Your club earns revenue, trains players, and scouts talent even when you're offline. Come back to collect earnings and make the big decisions.
Prestige System
Three endgame layers
Ascend through Club Standing, Boardroom Influence, and Eternal Legacy — each prestige layer resets your run but unlocks permanent bonuses and automation.
Fair Economy
Zero pay-to-win
No stat boosts for money. No unfair advantages. Monetization is strictly cosmetics, themes, and presentation — keeping competition skill-based and fair.
Tournaments
Compete across modes
Play league seasons, Academy Showcase cups, Veteran's Last Dance tournaments, daily challenges, and tower PvE climbs. Scout opponents and adapt your XI.

28 permanent talent nodes earned through season reviews. Build your path through batting, bowling, economy, and scouting specializations.
Manager Archetypes
Choose your philosophy on each prestige: Balanced, Moneyball Analyst, Head Coach, or Corporate Executive — each modifying economy and development multipliers.
Backroom Staff
Hire up to 10 staff across 4 tiers — from physios and scouts to directors who automate facility upgrades, gear merging, and scouting missions.
Kit Room & Gear
Craft, merge, and equip gear from Common to Legendary rarity. Manage consumables and Black Market schemes for tactical match-day edges.
Dynamic Conditions
Pitches degrade over time. Weather shifts. Adapt your squad selection, bowling attack, and batting order to the surface and sky conditions.
