How to Play Market Crash

Think you have the financial oversight to build a champion squad under extreme budget constraints? Market Crash challenges you to assemble a professional 11-man roster without breaching financial fair play rules. Balance your spending between superstars and squad players to survive the market!

1

Draft Your Tactical core: Follow the professional lineup sequence from goalkeeper to strikers. For every position, you'll be presented with three professional player options, each with a specific market valuation based on real-world data.

2

Manage Your Funds: Every professional signing deducts from your €450M starting budget. Choose wisely—signing an "Elite" star early might leave you "Budget" options for the rest of your defensive line!

3

Avoid the Crash: If your total spending exceeds the professional limit, you'll go bankrupt and lose the match. Complete all 11 signings within the budget to see your final squad rating and total career goals!
