Football Manager alternative for PC/Mac?

Danepak

Will only be playing it during the Covid-19 lockdown, so not keen on spending US$49.99.
Is there a cheaper alternative available?
Has to be for PC/Mac.
The plan is to play it against a couple of mates.

$1 a month during the lockdown seems like good value!

If you want the best game is has to be football manager with out any doubt. I have had all the games since it started when they was championship manager then when they split to football manager. You wont find a better game for £35

Link? Can't seem to find it. All I can see is that it's free to play it on Steam, but it ends today.

I just know that I won't have time (and the desire) to play it, when the lockdown ends (hence why I don't want to spend 35 quid).
My interest for football manager isn't massive, but I've agreed to set up a private league with a couple of friends, so we can kill some time.

Sorry, it was a (rubbish) joke, I was insinuating that’s lock down would last 49.99 months !

Yeah interested  in any football management game that is not too in depth. I don’t want to have to tweak individual player training methods all the time or have 10 sets of playing instructions to enter each game.

I paid about £26 when it came out, worth looking around to find a cheaper price.

£19.99 here but presumably it’d a physical copy https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4094490?istCompanyId=a74d8886-5df9-4baa-b776-166b3bf9111c&istFeedId=c290d9a9-b5d6-423c-841d-2a559621874c&istItemId=iipptaqxp&istBid=t&&cmpid=GS001&_$ja=tsid:59157%7Cacid:534-693-8244%7Ccid:9548734224%7Cagid:97250267265%7Ctid:pla-887265734796%7Ccrid:422732075009%7Cnw:g%7Crnd:10749271974425006115%7Cdvc:m%7Cadp:%7Cmt:%7Cloc:9045117&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=9548734224&utm_term=&utm_content=shopping&utm_custom1=97250267265&utm_custom2=534-693-8244&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1Iv0BRDaARIsAGTWD1vN1aTjmRKyb06_xsedu0ME7v-ydi_q-1SwgYpczukzFZULvE7zr3MaAq3-EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Either go for FM Touch (more like the older FMs) or FM Mobile (the most basic version).

Alternatively CM 01/02 is free and you can download a data update for the current season: https://champman0102.co.uk/showthread.php?t=3863

Just found a game called 'Soccer Manager Worlds' through Facebook's GameRoom. There's a free version and you can compete against mates. If it's crap, I might check out CM 01/02.
