Square Enix's Championship Manager 17 drops on iOS and Android a day before the Premier League starts

A day ahead of Premier League's kick-off, Square Enix's Championship Manager 17 has just dropped on iOS and Android – what good timing.

Seasoned veterans of the series will roll their eyes, but for those unfamiliar with the series Championship Manager does what it says on the tin. It's your job to support and train your players, plan your attacks, and see your team through to the victory.

With 450 clubs to manage across 15 different countries (though it says 12 on the trailer) and 25 leagues, Champ Man 17 is shaping up to be the best one yet. After planning your tactics on the game's new, easier to use interface, you can also watch the match unfold using the 2D match engine.

Download the game on iTunes or Google Play, pick your country, pick your club now, and see them to the top.
