They say football is a game of opinions and everyone has theirs, but it’s only yours that counts around here.

You make the decisions now, from who you sign and who you sell, to how you manage your budget. Will you build tactics around the players at your disposal or train them in your vision of how the game should be played? Who you pick and who you bench will affect squad harmony, and it’s up to you to manage it. Every decision comes back to you.

Get it right and you’ll be the star of the show, grabbing the newspaper headlines and dominating trends on social media. They’ll write your name in footballing folklore…if you succeed, of course.

With unparalleled choices both on and off the pitch, all within the immersive footballing world, it’s time to decide what kind of manager do you want to be?

This year's Fantasy Draft mode features a new user interface that's been designed specifically with streamers in mind. With a more streamlined UI, and more focus given to the centre of the screen, players will be able to stream their fantasy team's exploits via the in-game social media controls, clearly and easily.

Football Manager 2018's Fantasy Draft also has some brand-new options, including custom player pools to draft from and increased maximum budget. Essentially, this means you can tailor the Fantasy Draft experience for you and your friends within an increased number of parameters and make the draft process a lot slicker. You can take your Fantasy Draft teams through multiple seasons now and players won't age or retire, meaning you can play for as many seasons as you wish. It really is one of the best ways to experience Football Manager 2018 with friends, so be sure to check it out in the upcoming beta! Details below.
