Player Manager #7
Player Manager 7: A Sports Progression Fantasy
This lightning-fast LitRPG series finds a tech-enhanced European football genius at the top of his game―but staying there may be more than he can handle . . .
Gifted with an embedded heads-up display that can read players like a pro―and an attitude that’s taken the European football world by storm―Max Best has gained the upper hand over his opponents every time they’ve met. But being on top doesn’t make him invincible, and it certainly doesn’t lessen the sting when his best mate cuts loose for another team.
Despite this betrayal, Max can’t afford to have his focus diverted from the Chester organisation. He wants to create a true family within his team, and to do so, he’s signing young talent before they’re poached by the big boys and fostering a culture of loyalty among his players. The future of Chester is bright, and their new stadium and growing fanbase are only further proof of it.
But Max’s charm and quick wit can only get him so far. The cold realities of being an owner, manager, and player are piling up fast, and when he starts getting involved in shady deals and cold-hearted business tactics, an opportunity for personal glory presents itself that he never saw coming. Now he’ll have to decide whether to give in and play the game like the rest of the crowd―or make a run for the true greatness he’s always dreamed of.
Ted Lasso meets Moneyball in the seventh volume of this hilarious and addictive football fantasy.
Tropes found family, unbridled ambition, leveling up, and ultimate betrayal.

As expected
It's like slipping on a warm pair of slippers but then over indulging on the caffeinated beverage of your choice.

The combination of football management, personal decisions and a protagonist who's actually capable makes this series ridiculously easy to enjoy. By book seven I was thoroughly invested in the club's journey. It's satisfying watching plans come together, and the everyday management details are almost as entertaining as the football itself.
