Update 1.12: Youth players

Hi everyone,

With this update, the youth player system has been reworked. Previously, a new youth player would magically appear in your team after a few weeks. From now on, there will be several review events for youth players who are currently living in the academy.

For each player, you can decide whether to continue training them in the academy, extract them early to the main team, or release them if they are not good enough and your resources are better spent on the other players. A player’s strength and talent are initially uncertain and can be assessed more accurately with each review round. How many players the academy can host and how long they can continue to learn new skills depends on the academy’s upgrade level.


At level 1, for example, the academy may only host one player, and after a single review round they can no longer improve. At level 5, up to three players and threee rounds are possible, allowing them to join the main team much stronger. The fewer players are trained in the academy at the same time, the better they can develop, as the staff can focus more intensively on each individual. So pick your darlings early ;)

As another addition, Mike has provided more portrait options for creating your manager image. This now explicitly includes female managers as well.

In addition, club crests can now be changed at any time from the overview screen by clicking on the Polaroid photo showing the current crest. This is especially nice when founding your own club.

Of course, this update also includes the usual bug fixes and small improvements.

And now, have fun discovering young talents! :-)

In-game event18 Sep 2026Update 1.16: NationalitiesHi everyone, First things first: I promised too much ːPEAKsobː. In this update, there will be no mechanic to get a job in a foreign country. There is more involved in doing that than I thought. But since the first step to this is done now, and other changes are ready, I decided to release those parts early. This update's biggest change is the introduction of nationalities for single players. Co…Game update26 Aug 2026Hotfix 1.15.3The last hotfix introduced a bug that made it impossible to renegotiate the duration of your contract as a coach. Here comes the fix for that problem.Game update25 Aug 2026Hotfix 1.15.2This hotfix gets rid of a bug that would occur if you played in a league that was not part of the Europe Cup (e.g. Norway). Also, an exploit was fixed where you could increase your salary by just opening and closing the renegotiation screen. :)
