The Premier League is underway once more, with all the controversy that comes along with it. Could you do better? Of course you could. Champ Man gives you that chance. You have the choice of about 400 teams, not just in the EPL but from all over the world. Teams from England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, Argentina, Brazil , Turkey and Saudi Arabia have been included; League of Ireland has been left out of the mix. You have the chance to show off your prowess, training up your team – drawn from a pool of real players, naturally – and bumping up their skills as you try to top the table, dominate the world and waltz off into the sunset with a reputation to rival Fergie's. In the virtual world, at least. There's a new ratings system that allows you to pit yourself against your friends in a war of the managers. All the emotions and glory of being a top flight team manager – without the paycheck or the real threat of being sacked hanging over your head. Square-enix.com
