Total Football

Total Football is a turn-based football strategy game. You choose a team, build a squad, set its formation and decide which plays to use on the pitch. You can trade players, score goals and compete to win.

Game modes

• Quickplay: Choose any available teams or select them at random. Plan your strategy, set a formation and build an 11-player squad from a 22-player team, then play a one-off match against the game’s AI.
• VS mode: Play local competitive co-op for two players. Take turns choosing teams from those available or selecting them at random, then assemble your formations and squads and compete head to head.
• Career mode: Take control of a team in a 10-team league of similarly matched opponents. Set your team’s name, kit and emblem or logo, trade with teams inside and outside the league, and develop your 22-player squad or save money for star players. Play a 36-match season, scout opponents to plan counter-strategies, and track changes in players’ form and skills. Fight to avoid relegation and earn promotion, then continue through endless seasons to build your team’s legacy.
• Cup mode: Create a tournament, name it and choose single or double elimination and the number of teams. The only limit is the number of teams in the game; you can create more career save files for a larger tournament. Choose your team and opponents, or have opponents selected at random, then build your starting 11 and compete through the bracket. Scout opponents and track players’ changing form during the tournament as you aim to be the last team standing and take the trophy.

Match settings

You can adjust game and turn length to make matches faster or slower.

Player appearances

Before starting a career, you can customise how players’ appearances are generated. Set the frequency of beards, baldness and uncommon hair, skin and eye colours, and edit, add or remove common and uncommon colours. This lets you give a save file a South American or Nordic look, or make every player green-skinned.
