About this story

Books 1 to 6 are on All The Platforms!!

Max Best is too smart for a normal career, but too poor to further his education. He has a dead-end job, and he's stuck there. That's until a chance encounter gives him new abilities - he can see the attributes of soccer players. Big deal. But will Max ever realise he's holding a winning lottery ticket?
And is this ability a super power... or a curse?
Player Manager is a progression fantasy set in the modern world. It's perfect for fans of Football Manager, the FIFA games, and last-minute disallowed goals.
Soccer Supremo is the continuation series. Book 1 of that is book 15 of Player Manager. It makes sense, just go with it.
