How have I not heard about this game before. It sounds like an amazing plan. Obviously it would take years of development and work to bring it up to the level of football manager but think of the scope for a fully monetized version of it.

One that you can actually earn by being successful in the game and buying or selling players. Become successful and have a full revenue system form your team. There are so many possibilities if this is put together well and marketed to the right people. As you have seen with splinterlands a successful project gets build form the ground up and continues to add more and create a community to work with. There would however be a huge market for a game like this and i can see it in my head already how the system would work.

I will be following eagerly and watching the updates. Can't wait to play it once the first version get released.

Buy a starter pack.
Name club / stadium
Buy RB with hive/crypto
Once your account is loaded up you can operate as a proper club manager and try to improve players, facilities, revenue.
Purchase skill points for RBN
Become profitable by winning and expanding.
Be able to cash out RBN in the market.
Prizes for league position. RBN/youth players/skill points.

So many possibilities in this game. Keep up the good work. There are a lot of logistics in organizing so many variables of club, players, business, economy, matches....
