Rondo FC: Soccer Tactics

A soccer manager with no spreadsheets. Make your plan on the pitch, watch it play out live, and when the big moment comes, take over and score it yourself.

Every decision shows on the pitch. Push the press higher and you will see it. Send your full-back on the overlap and you will see that too.

Pick your club
444 English clubs, from the top flight down to the amateur regional leagues, plus the top divisions of Spain, Germany, Italy and France. Every club has its own squad, manager and stadium. Start at the top, or take a small town all the way up.

Study the opposition
Every opponent has a full report: their recent results, their usual shape, their dangerous players and what their manager does when they are behind. The facts come from real results in your season. If 8 of the 11 goals they have conceded came from balls in behind, you will see it.

Make your plan on the pitch
Drag the press and the back line where you want them. Tap a player to give him a role: overlap, run in behind, man-mark their playmaker. The change shows on the pitch as you make it.

Watch it play out
Every match plays live in a top-down stadium, with crowds, floodlights and weather. Pause whenever you like to change the plan or make a sub. Yellow cards, red cards, extra time and penalties all happen in front of you, and every goal gets a proper celebration.

Take over
At the key moments, take control of the move. Drag the pass, the run and the cross. Then pick your spot and strike.

Build a club
Win promotion, go on a cup run, finish high enough for the European Cup. Every summer, make your signings, see who has improved and bring the academy kids through. Keep your promises to the players who want more games. Improve the academy, the training ground and the stadium itself.

Rondo FC is free to play. Watch an optional ad for a small extra, like getting an injured player back a week sooner. Or buy Rondo FC Pro once to rename every club, player and stadium, run up to 12 careers, choose the weather at home and never see an ad.
