Playing as manager of your chosen team, can you get to the top and stay there?

Featuring the latest facts & stats from the English game, with a highly-developed match engine playing out the fixtures each week, only you can decide the tactics to defeat the big teams.

There's an extensive information database. You'll have to decide tactics for formation, style of play, aggression and gamesmanship — and what about those late substitutions?

Be sure to keep the Board, supporters, squad and media ratings at acceptable levels to avoid the sack. Let's see if you've got what it takes to come out on top!

CM2006 Mobile is available on 3, Vodafone live, Orange and O2 Network.

The following is a quick guide to playing CM2006 Mobile.

1. Start a new game, and choose the team that you wish to manage, and your initial 3 manager attributes. The attributes you choose will have an effect on the game.
2. Depending on the team you have chosen, you will either be expected to win the league, place well or avoid relegation. Achieving this will enable you to gain further manager attributes.
3. The game will start a few weeks before the first key fixture of the season.
4. Set your squad up the way you like, including setting tactics, playing positions, assigning the captaincy, etc
5. Buy & sell players using the various transfer options.
6. Set the training regime for individual players so that their abilities increase. Remember that if you train them to hard they will be more prone to training ground injuries. However, too little training will be reflected in reduced abilities, bad results and match injuries.
7. Use the <Next Day> button to progress the time. Each day will usually be accompanied by a selection of news items indicating what is happening to the teams in the league.
8. When you get to a match day, ensure that your team is correctly setup and that you have chosen a captain before progressing to the match.
9. During the match, you can change your tactics and make substitutions in order to achieve a winning result.

11. You can save the game at any time.
12. Be sure to keep your board, fan, team and media ratings at acceptable levels to avoid being sacked
