New Star Soccer (Android, iOS: Free)

New Star Soccer (Android, iOS: Free)

New Star Soccer (Android, iOS) may be a bit dated, but it's still one of the best career simulator games for football fans on a mobile device. More than just a football match simulator (though it also does that with dexterity minigames), you must manage all aspects of their player's career, from practice, maintaining good relations with your coach, teammates, management, and the press, while also making sure your young football star doesn't crack up from the stress and rigors of professional sports.

Football Manager Mobile (Android, iOS: $2.99) & Football Manager Mobile (Android, iOS: $19.99)

For a more strategic view of the beautiful game, check out Sega's long-running Football Manager series, a game that puts you in the manager's chair of your favorite soccer clubs. A fantastically detailed sports simulator that prizes accuracy over flashiness, Football Manager’s dry, menu-driven interface and gameplay isn't exactly spectacular, but for a stat junkie that loves all the nitty-gritty details of transfers, lineups and tactics, it's a dream come true. More iterative than revolutionary, the 2017 edition features new game modes such as a Fantasy Draft, Online Versus, and Online Career modes. The Mobile edition (Android, iOS) is designed to work with smartphones, while the Touch edition (Android, iOS), which includes a 3D match rendering engine, is designed for high-end tablets.
