Normally you must unlock the best teams to use them in manager mode. This usually costs 5,000 points in the fan shop. However, you do not have to do this. To be any team in career mode, for example, Chelsea, go to the team management screen and select Chelsea. Change the team so that all the worst players are playing in the starting line-up and all the best players are in the reserves. This will make the teams star rating go down. If it goes below 4.5 stars, you will be able to select that team to use in career mode.

Use the following trick to be any team desired in career mode without buying better career teams from the fan shop. First, go to team management and choose a four and a half or five star team. Put all their worst players into the starting line up. They need to go down to about four stars or less. You can then use them in career mode. When you have begun your career you can change your team back.

When in manager mode, notice that the energy bars of your players decrease after each match. Save your career, then go back to the main menu. Load your career again.
