Brasfoot-style online football manager game with human rivals

Brasfoot is one of the most loved football managers in South America: light, quick and packed with every league you can think of. But it has one limit: you play alone, against the computer. If you like Brasfoot and have ever wondered what it would be like with real human rivals online, this piece is for you.

What Brasfoot is and why people love it so much

Brasfoot is a Brazilian football manager that you download and play on your computer. You pick a club, build the squad, handle the transfer market and play whole seasons in no time at all. What made it famous:

• It’s light: it runs on just about any computer.
• It’s quick: you can get through a season in a short session.
• It has loads of leagues, and the community makes patches with updated squads.

It comes from the same school as simple managers like Elifoot, which many of us played when we were kids.

What Brasfoot is missing

Brasfoot is an offline game. That has its good points, but it also has limits:

• You play against the computer: the other clubs are run by the machine, and once you work it out, it becomes straightforward.
• There’s no in-game community: you’re not beating a mate, you’re beating an algorithm.
• Everything lives on your computer: if you change machine or your save gets wiped, you have to start again.

What to look for in an online Brasfoot alternative

1. It should be just as easy to get started, with no endless manuals.
2. Human rivals: your matches should be against real managers.
3. No installation needed: it should work in your browser or on your mobile.
4. A rhythm you can actually keep up with: scheduled matches, without needing to be on it all day.
5. It should be free.

ELDT: the Brasfoot online game with Argentina’s lower leagues

ELDT is a free online Argentine football manager. It gives you what you like about Brasfoot (taking a club and lifting it up) and adds what Brasfoot doesn’t have:

• Human rivals: more than 1.100 managers with their own clubs. Any clubs left without an owner are run by a bot under the same rules as you.
• Argentina’s lower-league pyramid: a structure of 23 divisions, from the Primera División all the way down.
• Live matches: the league is played on Thursdays and Saturdays at 21 (Argentine time), with minute-by-minute commentary, and the Copa ELDT on Tuesdays at 21. Have a look at the live matches.
• A transfer market against other managers: everything goes through auction, with a bid cap, plus player loans. More in the transfer market.
• Your club is saved in the cloud: log in from your computer, your phone or the Android app, and everything is there. See play without downloading.
• Free and without pay-to-win: real money does not buy players or points.

The main difference: the pace

In Brasfoot, you can play a whole season in one afternoon. In ELDT, because there are real rivals, matches have a day and a time: two league matchdays a week and one cup matchday. It’s slower, but every match matters more, because on the other side there’s another manager thinking about their tactics.
