Vellaro Liero Blom

Vellaro Liero Blom is a text based football management game. No match controls, no players to move around a pitch. You run the club, and the club is a budget, a squad, a set of buildings and a stream of decisions that will not wait.

ONE TAP MOVES THE WEEK Advancing the turn settles the finances, plays the fixture if there is one, refreshes the transfer market, adjusts form and morale and may drop a situation in front of you. Everything happens in that one step, so the game is really about what you arranged beforehand.

THE SQUAD Each player has a position, a rating, an age, a market value, a wage, form, morale and a condition: fit, tired, injured, in form or unhappy. Set your starters, move people to the bench, compare two players when you cannot decide, and put anyone you want gone on the transfer list. The same rating on a thirty three year old earning a fortune and on a twenty year old earning very little are two completely different assets, and this screen is where you notice.

TRANSFERS AND SCOUTING The market lists who is available with their price, rating, age and wage demands, filterable by the position you actually need. Scouting surfaces names worth following. Buying is never just the fee: it is the fee plus the wage plus whatever you are not buying instead. Selling is the same decision backwards, and the player you least want to lose is usually the one who fixes the balance.

THE MONEY Current balance, weekly income, weekly outgoings and the wage bill, broken down by source. Coming in: tickets, sponsors, prize money, transfer fees. Going out: wages, club maintenance, upgrades, transfer spending. The balance history shows the direction you are heading rather than just where you are, which is the difference between noticing a problem in October and noticing it in March.

CLUB UPGRADES Six things to improve, each with levels that get more expensive. The stadium increases match income. The training ground speeds up player development. The medical center lowers the injury risk. The youth academy brings through young players. The fan zone grows support. The club office improves sponsorship. Every upgrade competes directly with every signing for the same money.

EVENTS WITH REAL CONSEQUENCES Situations arrive as short text with two to four possible answers. A player demands a rise. The dressing room leader is unhappy with the run of results. A sponsor offers a deal. Your best defender is injured. A youngster asks for a chance. The fans want reinforcements. An unexpected bonus lands. Whatever you choose shows up later in morale, in the squad or in the bank, and most of the options cost something.

MATCH DAY Fixtures are simulated. Before the game you see the opponent and how strong they are, and afterwards the result, the income it generated and the effect on team morale. Results, the league table and the calendar are all in one place, so you know exactly what the next match has to deliver.

GROWING THE CLUB Money, morale, team rating, reputation and fan support move together, and reputation is what unlocks better players and better offers. There is no single correct route: run a tight budget and climb slowly, trade aggressively, build the academy and be patient, pour everything into facilities, or chase this season's result and live with the bill.

SETTINGS Choose your manager name, your club name and the difficulty, and reset the whole run whenever you want a different approach.
