The only thing standing between a dead-end job and football glory? A holographic interface and a lot of hungover plumbers. Danny Walsh is going nowhere. At twenty-six, his life is a monotonous cycle of night shifts at a Manchester convenience store and escaping into the digital world of Football Manager, where he is a tactical genius building championship-winning teams from nothing. In the real world, he is just another guy with a dead-end job and a dream that feels impossibly far away. A mysterious notebook gives him an impossible edge: the power to see the hidden attributes of football players. It’s a party trick no one else can see, a useless superpower for a man going nowhere. But in the broken, overlooked talent of Manchester's gritty leagues, data is destiny. Danny holds a winning ticket, if he can only learn how to read it. And if this cursed gift doesn't break him first.
