Outside of the Career Mode that the Football Manager Series is known for, FM17 features two other modes Players can explore should they like to experience a change of pace. One of these playable concepts is the Fantasy Draft Mode, where a player can not only manage a team like in Career Mode, but they can also assemble and build said dream fantasy squads with the best current footballers around the world in a draft-like format.
On top of being able to do the impossible and actually hand-select your rosters with the best the football industry has to offer, Players are encouraged to play this multiplayer mode against their friends to see who is truly the best manager of them all. However, should you not have many friends playing FM17 or you can't construct a time that works for everyone to play this mode, a player always has the option to play a Fantasy Draft with Computerized AI Players (modeled after none other than famous fans of the Football Manager Series).
