Sports Interactive’s revered simulation series returns with Football Manager 2024. Targeted towards enthusiasts, the game places players in the driving seat of any club of their choosing. They can manage everyday operations, handle player development and recruitment, and of course, lead their side to glory.

Ranging from 1-200, the rating provides managers with a firm idea of the player’s quality. To view a player’s CA in the game, managers need to use an official editor or a third-party skin.
