I've been playing Sidelines for almost 4 months now, and in that time, I've played it literally every single day! Building your team and trying to compete is a lot of fun and very addictive. There's a great community of users in the game, willing to help with advice and transfers. Admittedly, the game is easier to do well in (more quickly) if you play to play, but it is absolutely not a necessity. Ejay the dev is constantly updating or adding new features, and listens to those playing... bonus!

This is a unique football management game in that there is a different way of gaining points and uses a merit and token system. it does take bloody ages to get promoted and work your way up through the divisions and build your super stadium and train up your players etc, but its ideal to pass time if you have a job with lots of down time!

For anyone that enjoys football management games, I highly recommend this one. It makes a refreshing change for sure. On the surface it seems quite simplistic, but there is plenty of hidden depth once you get into it. Very addictive game. And very competitive league. Edit: A couple of months in and numerous updates, with the game and community constantly improving. 5+ Edit #2 back after a year out. Couldn't remember my login, so started again:) lots of tweaks to the interface and just as fun.
