Want to know how Brexit will work? Play Football Manager

Latest edition of simulation game will include scenarios modelling consequences of UK triggering article 50 to leave EU

While the government struggles over Britain's future relationship with the European Union, fans of the video game Football Manager are to get a taste of what hard or soft Brexit would actually mean in practice, as the processes are simulated in the newest edition of the game.

Football Manager 2017, the 13th version of the hugely successful series, allows players to carry out all the regular duties of a managing a football team, from running training sessions to signing players and attending press conferences. But what differs this time round is that a Brexit simulator models some of the consequences of the UK triggering article 50.
