Hattrick

Hattrick is a long-running online football management game in which the exciting business of football is reduced to tactics, transfers, training, finances and the occasional heartbreaking result against a team you were absolutely certain you could beat. Rather than controlling players directly, you take the role of manager and build a club over time, making decisions that can have consequences several matches later. Its deliberately strategic approach gives it a different flavor from traditional football games, rewarding patience rather than quick reflexes. There are no fancy goals to score yourself here: your greatest achievement may simply be watching a carefully planned lineup win while you sit comfortably behind a spreadsheet.
