II Gameplay

FootballTD is not really a game you can win. It's a platform to fantasize about your favorite club. See it as your personal notebook for transfers and lineups. The only competitive element is the reputation you can build as TD. More rep gets you higher in the ranking.

A lot of football fans have ideas (know best 😉) about the squad and lineup of their favorite club. FootballTD helps to organize these ideas and keep them up-to-date, by processing real-life transfers into your squad. There is no spending limit and even legends from the past can be signed to build your dream team, but keeping it realistic is probably more interesting for others and increases your reputation.

How it works:

  • Become a TD. Take control of your favorite club and start with the current real-life squad.
  • Anticipate on players leaving, running out of contract, probably to be sold or you want to sell.
  • Scout players, add them to your shortlist, and sign them for your squad for next season.
  • Create lineups for the next match and next season. The latter including your transfers.
  • Real-life transfers will be processed into your squad. Always in sync with the real world.
  • Your reputation will grow and might get noticed by friends, fans and professionals.
You can also find these instructions on the homepage.

Like Football Manager without simulation, always in sync with the real world.

Get started as TD

On your club page check out the '?' in the top left corner of the squad table to learn about the colors.
Try out to sell a player, sign a player and scout a player. You can always undo any of your actions.
To stay relevant, try to keep your lineup for next season up-to-date. For example monthly or bimonthly.

Share FootballTD with your friends, find and follow each other or deal some kudos and see your reputation grow.

II Technical Director

A director of football/soccer, sporting director or technical director (TD), is a senior management figure at a football club. Often, their key task is managing transfers of players to and from the team. However, the nature of the position varies, and their role at a particular club may be more specialized.

The TD is, in many cases, a member of the executive board and therefore an executive director. The TD is usually directly subordinate to the CEO or the chairman of the sports organization. The TD is in turn typically the manager of the coaching staff.

II Rep points

You can earn reputation points by visiting your club on a daily basis, being visited by another TD, getting kudos or being followed or visit, kudo or follow clubs of other TDs. With more rep points you'll get a higher rank and get noticed by others.

II Contract

Your initial contract depends on when you started the job.

  • Start between July and end of December: End of season.
  • Start between January and end of June: End of next season.
The next season starts on July 1st.

You can also earn rep points with a contract extension or lose rep points for inactivity (see below).

Your contract will be reviewed every year on May 1st.

  • If started in last 4 months (since January): no extension & +50 rep.
  • Else if started in last 10 months (since July): 1 year extension & +100 rep.
  • Else if not seen in last 5 months (since December): no extension & -50 rep.
  • Else (going steady): 2 year extension & +200 rep.

If you run out of contract (on July 1st), you will be put on non-active & lose -25 rep.
When you're reinstated (by revisiting), you will get a contract until the end of the season & get +100 rep.
If you're running out of contract in 2 months and revisit the club (between May and end of June), you will get a contract until the end of the next season & get +100 rep.

II Transfer windows

There are two transfer windows per season:

  • Two months from July to end of August (pre-season).
  • The month of January (mid-season).

Real-life new signings will lose their 'new' status (green player name) on October 1st and March 1st, one month after each transfer window. At that same moment players who left (red player name) will be removed from your squad. We think this is a good moment to forget about the previous transfers, evaluate how your club and players are performing, and start preparing for the next transfer window.
