Football Manager players and creators
The platform gives people one place to find community resources while giving creators a structured route to publish their own work.

Databases.
A live community platform for discovering, publishing and discussing Football Manager resources, with creator uploads, download journeys and operational admin tooling.
AT A GLANCE
The product in four answers.
Resources, discussion and creator activity are usually fragmented
Downloads, updates, comments and creator identity can easily live across separate pages and services with no consistent journey.
A connected community product
Resource browsing, uploads, creator pages, discussions, comments and platform administration operate as parts of one product.
Live and actively maintained
The public production deployment is live. This case study describes shipped product capabilities rather than inventing traffic or conversion claims.
THE PRODUCT PROBLEM
Turn a collection of Football Manager resources into a community platform.
The project needed to go beyond publishing Rafael's own Football Manager work. Users should be able to discover databases, facepacks and other resources, while creators need a clear publishing route and community members need places to follow work and discuss it.
The resulting product therefore had to support content discovery and release workflows without losing the community layer around creators, comments and discussions.
VERIFIED LIVE CAPABILITIES
Publishing, creators and community in one system.
- Community upload flow for databases, facepacks, tactics, skins and other Football Manager resources.
- Browsable community resource library with dedicated upload pages.
- Creator pages and follow functionality.
- Discussion and comment routes connected to database and community content.
- Football Manager database and graphics/facepack publishing journeys.
- Administrative management for platform content and community workflows.
RAFAEL'S ROLE
Product direction through implementation.
Rafael defined the product direction, designed the experience and implemented the platform architecture and operational tooling needed to publish, moderate and maintain the product.
WHAT WAS BUILT
A platform rather than a single download page.
Resource catalogue
Users can browse Football Manager databases, facepacks and other community resources through structured public pages.
Upload and creator journeys
Creators can submit resources and build an identity around their published work instead of relying on disconnected file links.
Discussion and comments
Community interaction is connected to the resources and creator ecosystem rather than treated as a separate afterthought.
Admin and release tooling
Content and community administration support the operational side of publishing and maintaining the platform.
DELIVERY OUTCOME
A working public product with room to grow.
R7S FM Databases is deployed as a live production platform with its own domain, public community routes and operational backend. The evidence here is the shipped functionality and production product itself; no unsupported visitor, download or conversion numbers are claimed.
