This version is free with options to buy FIFA points which you can use to sign superstar players. However, you can earn points by playing the game and winning more matches.

You start the game as a team manager. Your first task is to build a decent team composed of competent professional players. Unfortunately, you have limited resources as a new player which means you can only draft second-tier to third-tier players in the early stages.

There is no need to worry though because your first opponents are probably newbies, too. The app uses an algorithm that matches players belonging to the same level.

You will be given a card stack where you can draft players. When drafting, you need to sign a time-limited contract with each player and this involves paying out in-game money. Make sure to spend your resources wisely so you can build a well-balanced team.

Gameplay involves actual football simulation. You can control players using the on-screen touch pad. You can develop gameplay strategy before each match by selecting the starting units, subs, formations, and tactics.

You will earn points whether you win or lose a game. However, you can win more lucrative prizes when you win in tournament mode.
