Football Manager is a football simulation management game produced by Sports Interactive and published by Japan's SEGA. Like EA's FIFA and Konami's eFootball, formerly known as Pro Evolution Soccer, Football Manager is also a game that is specially updated and released every year, but compared to the aforementioned two games, Football Manager has thousands of real scouts sent around the world, every professional and amateur league player is carefully observed everywhere, and data is compiled from their performance over long periods of time to simulate how much each player can achieve in his career. For this alone, Football Manager has surpassed any club in the world in terms of scouting resources.


Today, more than 100 big and small clubs around the world have begun to know how to use the database in Football Manager as a tool to aid them in their transfer plans. Apart from West Ham United manager David Moyes, Arsenal were also noted to have discovered Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli through this game before they really signed the two in the real world. The coach of a small club in Belgium once revealed that he learned and improved his coaching and tactical knowledge by playing Football Manager, which shows how deep the game's influence is.
