So what is Captain Your Country?
Captain Your Country allows up to four gamers to take their player from a B-International (essentially a fringe player in the international set up) and work their way up to not only becoming a regular, but also captaining your country to glory and seeing yourself lift the trophy at the final in Vienna.
You can either create yourself as a brand new player and build yourself up over multiple campaigns, or if you fancy a bit of a head start you can pick a real life player and maybe even help England make it to the finals this time round! The real fun though comes with creating yourself and watching your player grow not only in stature, but also in quality, as every time you perform well you’ll not only get a good match rating, but you’ll earn XP (Experience Points) to improve your attributes.
As I mentioned you get a match rating and this is key to not only improving your player but also getting picked to play. Perform well in the B-International matches and you’ll be selected for a Friendly match, do well in those and you could be given a shot in the qualifiers, then as captain and eventually captaining the side at UEFA EURO 2008.
That is assuming your team makes it, which is something to consider because even though you’ll rise up to the ranks of captain quicker for say San Marino, it’ll be much tougher to qualify. Of course if you’re not good enough you’ll miss the matches and even if your team does make it, you won’t be going with them.
