Is Football Manager the most addictive game on the planet? A viral Avonetics discussion has blown the lid off a secret society of gamers for whom FM isn't just their main game—it's their ONLY game. These aren't casual players; they are digital managers who confess to abandoning their entire game libraries, ghosting their friends, and sacrificing their social lives for the glory of the dugout. We dive into the explosive Avonetics thread where users admit that blockbuster titles and even relationships take a backseat to the all-consuming pursuit of tactical perfection and transfer market domination. Forget FIFA or PES; true strategists call them shallow imitations. The proof? Many of these FM addicts aren't even football fans! They're pure management junkies who crave the unparalleled depth that makes other strategy games like Crusader Kings or Cities: Skylines feel like tutorials. This is more than a game; it's a full-time obsession, a data-driven universe, and a black hole for your free time that you will gratefully dive into. Are you one of them?
