Description:

WEFS is a football (soccer) manager simulation, which provides a fairly
detailed model of the real life football. WEFS is effectively an exercise
in resource management, where the manager has to combine short-term
(lineup and player/team tactics for the upcoming match) with long-term
(team buildup and coaching over consecutive seasons).

WEFS was founded in 1995 and the league is currently in its 10th season.
The league currently has 64 club teams divided into 3 divisions of 16 club
teams, Elite, Second, and Third. A season comprises of a regular season of
30 matches, so that one match is played every week. Further, a league wide
Cup is played during the regular season. The WEFS World Cup, where club
teams form national teams based on the nationalities of team managers, is
played every other season.

A club team comprises of 15-25 players, who have a number of features such
name, skill, talent, resilience, performance level, etc. Further, a team
has a number of features such as different skills, cash balance, coaching
staff etc. Players can be coached, they age (lose skill) and eventually
retire, they can get hurt in matches, etc. New players are acquired via
annual rookie auctions, by signing free-agents and by trading with other
teams.

WEFS is completely free. The only 'price' you have to pay is that if you
start playing, you're expected you to turn in orders every week. In return
you get a detailed match report of your own match, and a number of league
wide postings including scores, division rankings, suspensions, Match of
The Week tape, stats, etc.
