If you want to read a compelling story about Football Manager, you can't really do better than: Run of Play - Pro Vercelli. Run of Play was an essay-style blog about football written/curated by Brian Phillips, who wrote the above series of posts about managing fallen giant Pro Vercelli in Football Manager. Phillips was later headhunted to become one of the staff writers for Grantland, ESPN's entry into thoughtful long-form writing about sport and pop culture. His greatest piece there is probably his take on the Iditarod. That said, I always come back to his Pro Vercelli series. I'm not sure how many times I've read it. The real draw to the Pro Vercelli saga is that Phillips accurately captures the mania of trying to build a team and how important all the virtual people are to that process.
