Characterised as free-wheeling oilers of the cogs of the capitalist sports system or oleaginous freeloaders who make millions for doing nothing, football agents are phenomenon of the modern game.

And no game demonstrates the latter better than Mousebreaker's online Flash game Football Agent, which Cobra Mobile has brought to iPhone just in time for the World Cup.

The name of the game is to buy and sell players and make enough money to buy your dream mansion and retire. You have 200 weeks to accomplish that goal.

On the up

Gameplay is simple. Buy players quickly while their value is rising and sell them as it peaks. Complication is created by players who have symbols on their shirts, such as star for potential superstar, question mark for an enigma and a beer glass for potential trouble.

So starting off with a small amount of cash, you have to buy and sell as multiple players pop onto the market, their values changing every second.

Obviously, you need to click on players as soon as they pop into play, but with your goal requiring you to own several players simultaneously, everything gets frantic fairly fast.

Success and high scores can be highlighted thanks to Facebook Connect integration.

You can try out the free online version here, or check out the video below. Otherwise Football Agent for iPhone is available now, price 99c, €0.79 or 59p.
