STRATKA

STRATKA is a free online football manager where your tactics decide the match, not your wallet. You run one club: name it, design the crest and kit, and start with 16 players, €20,000 and a 6,600-seat stadium. Before kick-off you set the formation, mentality, pressing and player roles. Then the match plays out live on a 2D pitch for about 12 minutes, and you can make substitutions and up to four tactical changes and see them take effect straight away. Competitive football is 8-club knockout cups: wins raise your club rating and your rank, from I to VII, with tougher opponents and bigger prizes. Between matches you trade on a transfer market with auctions and buy-now listings, promote youngsters from your academy and invest in staff, facilities and the stadium. Chat, private messages, a forum, friends and clans keep it social. Nothing to install. Play in the browser on phone or PC, or inside Telegram. No pay-to-win.
