The monetization strategy of the game involves watching ads for rewards, which some players find frustrating but manageable for quick player training. While iOS users can access unlimited ads, Android users are limited to 10 ads per day, leading to some dissatisfaction. Additionally, players have noted issues with in-app purchases and a desire for more options and improvements in various game features related to monetization.
“Good game, I like the fact that it is challenging in the English leagues. Currently 2nd in Conference Premier Group 62. No ads as well; overall, every football game should be like this.”
“In-game purchases.”
“One thing I don't understand is why iOS phones can have unlimited ads but Android phones are only given 10 ads per day.”

“Very nice game, but there are more areas for improvement, for example, tactical formations, transfer markets, match highlights, pro credit earnings, and the number of foreigners to be used (should be up to 8 or 7 minimum). Also, players' costs should be reduced, more ads to gain more free pro credits, and I don't know how the promotional code works.”
