Whether you play Football Manager to while away the time or are a big fan trying to win every championship and game in sight, there are specific skills you must have to enjoy Football Manager. These skills are the fundamentals of the game, and every player must, at the very least, have a hang of them.
What’s more interesting about these skills is their cascade to other games with notable mentions including, but not limited to, Fortnite, poker, and blackjack.
In this article, we will look carefully at these skills that will make you a master at Football Manager and any other game of your choosing.
1. Strategic Analysis
You cannot be a good football manager if you can't analyze your games well. What tactics are working? Which players are playing badly? These are all questions whose answers only come from careful analysis.
Similarly, in almost any game, you must analyze your position and targets well. For example, you can only win at poker if you analyze your opponent or the possible outcome of a game. The same applies to Call of Duty and other strategy games.
In summary, you will do well in almost any other game if you learn to keep your brain on full alert for possible strategies with Football Manager.
2. Cool, Calm, Collected
The best coaches are calm and steady. They don't react emotionally to the game. Instead, they methodically determine what is best at each point. The same skill will help in any other game. Let's consider some games from the top online casinos where you have money on the line. According to Peter Addison, there are more than 220 of these sites in the UK, and the biggest welcome bonus on offer is £400 (www.safebettingsites.com/online-casinos/). But how can players make the most of their time playing at these sites? Who do you think is more likely to make the better decision on a table, the hot head or the calm and calculating one? Simply put, the "calm-head" wins nine out of ten times.
This principle applies even in life decisions; those who make decisions on a whim without the required poise are likelier to suffer bitter consequences.
3. Appreciation for numbers and stats
You cannot divorce statistics from Football Manager like you cannot divorce being handy with numbers from some games. Games like sudoku, Battleship, and Monopoly may require you to be something of a numbers wiz, depending on your opponent’s skill level.
Even for online betting games, you have to be good with your numbers and stats to avoid silly bets or to get a hang of the odds.
4. Being Flexible
Football Manager requires you to always be on your toes. After analyzing your team, the next thing is to create a system that makes them tick. Also crucial is your willingness to adjust this system when it begins to fail or underperform - and this is a process you must do over and over again. Will it ever end? No, it won't; you must continue to innovate.
Now, step outside Football Manager and see whether consistent innovation is necessary for other games. It sure is, right? Therefore, learning the workings of Football Manager teaches you to be flexible and rewards innovation that you can take advantage of in other games requiring the same skill.
5. Patience
Coming in last but not least important, is patience. You cannot play Football Manager well without patience; if not, you will constantly chase low-hanging fruits, unable to see the bigger picture. In the same vein, for many other popular games, you must be patient to understand how the game works and lie in wait for the big prizes. One way this can be expressed is by biding your time with a budgeting strategy that keeps you in the game for the long haul. In some instances, it is being patient before revealing your hand that helps you understand your opponent's game plan.
