Creating your first save

💾 A save in ManageFC is a complete, isolated game world. When you create one, the engine builds the leagues you selected (your base country's pyramid plus up to 37 extra slots), populates them with procedural clubs (each with its own crest, kits and stadium), seeds thousands of players with realistic attribute distributions, builds the fixture calendar, sets up cup competitions, and snapshots a starting transfer market. ManageFC models 211 countries overall; a full 40-league world carries around 14,000 players. Generation runs as a background job and typically completes in 10 to 60 seconds depending on server load — you can leave the page and come back, the worker queue is durable.

The new-save wizard is 11 steps. It opens with the save settings — name, base country, starting year and optional heat modifiers — then you pick the leagues that populate the world. After the world is built, you customise your club: name, short name and colours, crest, home and away kits, formation and style, personality (mascot, slogan, description) and stadium details (name, founded year, motto, ticket price). Every choice is reversible later from /game/club-settings except the world seed itself.

Step-by-step

Open /game/saves/new from the main menu, or click "Create save" on /game/saves if you already have one.

Pick the leagues for your world: your base country's pyramid (divisions 1–3) plus up to 37 extra slots, 40 leagues maximum.

Your own club is created from scratch at the bottom of your base country's pyramid — the climb through the divisions is the game.

Choose or generate a club identity: name, kits, colours and crest. Defaults are sensible if you just want to start playing.

Optionally toggle heat modifiers (financial fragility, transfer freeze, injury-prone squad, etc.) to make the save harder.

Submit. The progress bar polls the job queue every second; when it hits 100% you are redirected to the dashboard of your new save.

💡Your first save should use default settings with no heat modifiers. Once you understand the basics, restart with a tougher seed — the difficulty is in the modifiers, not the country.
