Soccer, arguably the world’s most popular sport, isn’t all about brawn and ball-handling skills; a huge part of the game revolves around strategy. You can’t expect your team to grab a prestigious title, if you don’t have the right combination of players as well as a large collection of smart plays. When it comes to strategizing in soccer, no other iPhone application comes to what Football Manager Handheld 2011 serves.

Football Manager Handheld 2011, as its name suggests, focuses on soccer’s in-game maneuverings, letting you step into the shoes of esteemed managers, even coaches. You can sign, trade and assign positions to players on your team. In addition, you can concoct a series of plays that will leave the opposition open for a…”Goooaaall!”

Any great soccer simulation includes a good number of players and teams, and in the case of this iPhone application, it carries pretty much all the players and ball clubs around the world. This means you have the option to turn any footballer, even those who belong to obscure teams, into a bonafide star player. You can, then, trade him for a real star player, to assemble a dream team.

Football Manager Handheld 2011 may be the most in-depth soccer sim in circulation, but it does have its share of drawbacks. It has tons of menus and options, which could leave new players confused and frustrated. Furthermore, you can only play the game from the sidelines, and watch how your team fares, as a real manager would. Those who prefer to be a lot of closer to the action – shooting goals and defending the net – might be disappointed.

On the flipside, Football Manager Handheld 2011 has attracted a lot of soccer fans from all over the world, given its realistic approach to soccer’s backend, so to speak. Every decision counts as you assemble a team that should go all the way to conquering all of the sport’s prestigious titles.

If you find running a soccer club exhilarating, now downloading this iPhone application is considered sacrilege for hardcore fans of the game. It runs on the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad – iOS 3.0 at least. The game is available on App Store for $9.99. You can download it through this direct iTunes link.
