You should download the mobile app called: Online Soccer Manager. You can start as a user multiple seasons with different team. Every team has it's own goal per season, depending on the quality of the players and the budget of the club. For example; Chelsea, have the goal to be champion that and Sunderland have to goal to maintain in the Premier League. In this way you can play the club you love with your own goal. Besides this, it should be an awesome feature to manage and upgrade (youth) training staff, doctors and lawyers (for bans).
