How to change a Manager’s league
If you’ve found a manager you like, but their league doesn’t quite fit with the rest of your team, fear not.
You can use a consumable that adjusts the manager’s league, so you can put Mikel Arteta in Serie A, or Daniel Farke in the Bundesliga.
- Open your squad page
- Hover over the Manager, and press the Square/X to bring up the radial menu
- Use the thumbstick to select Apply Manager Consumable
- Select the league you want
If you don’t have the league, you can try and buy it from the transfer market. Good luck with your new gaffer!
