Hi,
If you've not already heard, Epic Games are giving away Football Manager 2020 as a free download until 4pm GMT on 24th September. The link is here:

I've tried this myself and it genuinely is a full and free download of the official Football Manager 2020 game. Your only obligation is to set up an Epic Games account, which is free and no more time consuming or intrusive than setting up an account for a site like Premier League Fantasy football. After that, the game is yours for free! The game currently retails for $49.99 on Steam and can be bought for about -u25 in the UK.
To the uninformed, Football Manager 2020 allows you to take control of a team from most European and South American nations, Mexico, MLS, Australia, South Africa and a number of Asian nations. As well as the obvious stuff like transfers and tactics, you can get involved in how your players are trained and the development of youth players. It can be a very immersive experience.
The interesting thing is the game can be a different experience depending on the type of team you manage and your approach. So one player might enjoy playing the ultimate game of fantasy football, picking Manchester City or Real Madrid and signing the most expensive players in the World. The next player might enjoy the challenge of picking a Benfica or Galatasaray and seeing if they can develop their youth players into World class talents over a few seasons, taking a more "academy" approach. Some enjoy picking a lower league team and gradually getting the team promoted through the leagues and improving the team's stadium and facilities, the challenge of taking a small team and turning it into a big team. Others still chose to start the game unemployed and apply for any job they can get (usually some Belgian third division team in my case :( ), treating it as a sort of virtual career, developing their managerial cv in the lower leagues before applying for their dream job as a football manager.
Anyway, it really is the official Football Manager and it really is free. Even if you don't have much time to play the game, it's worth having for the player database alone, which allows you to look up the full career stats of players, could be very useful when planning that next fantasy football transfer?
