Real Madrid Fantasy Manager - Budget Manager App

Real Madrid Fantasy Manager is a football club management game developed by From The Bench. The game is currently available on Facebook, iPhone and Android platforms.

The game has been designed according to the theme of Real Madrid CF. The first launched edition of the game was the 2011 version, later the 2012, then 2013 and currently the 2014 edition is being used.

Gameplay

Start of the game

At the start of the game, the players has three options â€" to create his own squad, to play with the whole squad of Real Madrid, or to play with the team, which the system prepares.

If the player wants to make his own squad, he has €90 million as his budget, and he can browse through various teams & available players. He must buy a minimum 2 goalkeepers, 5 defenders, 5 midfielders & 3 strikers. To play with the whole squad of Real Madrid, more shields have to be brought. If the player chooses to go for the team which the system chooses, he gets a random team with one Real Madrid Player, 15 shields & €7 million as a budget.

Game currency

Shields are currently the main virtual currency of the game, which can be used to increase budget, shop items, signing players, etc. in the game. Shields can be obtained in the shop, where you can buy more shields via your facebook credits.

The other major currency is the money or total budget available with the team, which previously was counted in terms of Euro.

Facilities

Facilities are the main source of income for your team. You can unlock more facilities by leveling-up or by gaining more partners. There are many facilities you can build like offices, shops, bars, hotels, etc. As you progress and level-up, upgrades to the current facilities unlock, which are more yielding and are better than the older one.

In the middle of all the facilities is the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu, which is the highest yielding facility, and the only facility that you don't have to buy. Also, money is never used for the maintenance of the stadium.

Matches

You can play matches with teams of other users, and if your team is stronger and fit enough, you win. Once you win, you gain experience and some money from the budget of your opponent. For winning a match, a team must have a good score, which is decided by the performance criteria of the real-life player. For getting better scores, signing new players is important. New players can be signed via both shields or the money.

The players from all the teams of La Liga, Primeira Liga, Premier League, Serie A, Süper Lig & Bundesliga are available to sign. Players whose team have a fantasy manager are available having their own real faces. Currently Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi & Wayne Rooney are the most expensive players in the market.

As the season progresses, matches against users or the managers of others fantasy managers are introduced. Also, at a point of time the daily sprints are also introduced.

On 1 December 2011, just a few days before the el clasico, matches against the users of FC Barcelona Fantasy Manager, representing FC Barcelona were introduced. Also, different prizes by winning matches & different limited-edition equipment were announced.

On 20 December 2011, Tuesday, the tournaments were launched for the 2012 season (as a part of the new update), before the start of the winter break in the real-life games.

Performance criteria of players

Every time a real life player is involved in a Premier League or European match his skills will be updated in the game according to his performance and statistics from that match.

A player who doesn´t play in a match will have a score of 0, irrespective of the final result.

Partners

Partners, or Socios are the users that are somehow connected with us, and play among with us in the game. In facebook you can invite your friends to game, and they unlock as partners when they reach level 5. In iPhone, you can invite partners by giving them your code. Partners help us to get more profit from our facilities, and also help us to win matches.

A partner can also be obtained in the shop, which consumes 5 shields per 1 Socio. Sometimes even a partner is gained when the app is visited daily and while getting its daily reward.

There are a total 130,000 number of monthly active users of the game, making it the most popular game in the fantasy manager series.

Jobs

Other than playing matches, there are many other jobs that are useful to gain money and experience. Purchasing better facilities will allow better jobs. Jobs are categorised in various categories like the jobs through which whether only money is gained, only experience is gained or those which give both money & experience.

As facilities are upgraded, more better jobs are unlocked, that give more benefits while consuming much less energy.

Bank

The bank is the place where you can safeguard your money. It is important to deposit money in the bank in order to reduce your losses if you lose a challenge from another user. A 10% commission charge is cut from the money while being deposited. No charge is applied while withdrawing the savings from the bank.
