Dream League Soccer 2020 has arrived!
Dream League Soccer 2020 is the latest in the DLS franchise. Dream League Soccer is a fantasy football management game which you can play from your Android phone or tablet. They have built up a sizeable following over the years and the latest release of Dream League Soccer on January 7th 2020 has brought with it lots of new features and updates. Customize your team’s name and colors, recruit players, upgrade your stadium, put your team into training, choose your tactics and work your way up the league table to winning that all-important trophy. You can play against the computer or real players.
Dream League Soccer 2020 has had a graphics makeover
Dream League Soccer 2020 takes mobile football gaming to new heights with its exceptional graphics and immersive gameplay. This latest installment allows you to construct and manage your dream football team, competing against top clubs globally to reach the legendary division. The game stands out with over 3500 FIFPro™ licensed players, realistic 3D player movements, and engaging match commentary. This extensive realism and detail bring the essence of football to life on your mobile device like never before.
You don’t need to be a soccer fan to enjoy Dream League Soccer 2020
The broad strokes of the game are appealing, but not necessarily original or new. It is the details which separate games in this genre. Dream League Soccer 2020 has a long list of features. It still has many of the tried and tested features including their FIFPro licensed players but now with over 3,500 players. If you know anything about football, you will recognize some of the players such as Cristiano Ronald, Gareth Bale, Lionel Messi, Sergio Aguero and more.
There are still lots of divisions (6 in total) and cup competitions (7) to work your way through. You can still make numerous customizations to most aspects of your team (the name, the shirts, the stadium, etc.). Connect with players around the world and submit your high scores to the Google Play leaderboards. Even the controls are the same.
The biggest difference between DLS 2019 and DLS 2020 comes in the graphics update. Everything feels much more real and the gameplay is smoother. The game has also been kept up-to-date with the latest footballers and some of the old bugs are now a thing of the past. The truth is, not a huge amount has change but that’s no bad thing and for a one year update I think it exceeds expectations.
Where can you run this program?
You can play Dream League Soccer 2020 on any Android device which uses Android 4.0.3 and up. It can also be play on Apple devices such as iPhones and iPads. Apple users will need iOS 10.0 or later. If you are using your iPhone, this means you will need to use the 5S model or higher.
Does DLS 2020 need internet?
Dream League Soccer 2020 offers the flexibility of both online and offline gameplay. However, an internet connection is advantageous. Playing online allows you to secure your game account, which is crucial for retrieving lost data or reinstalling the game in the future. This online feature ensures your progress and achievements are safely backed up.

This ensures that your game progress syncs with the intended Google account, providing a seamless connection between your game and account for a more personalized gaming experience.
Is there a better alternative?
There’s a lot of competition for the top spot of football manager games. Based on popularity alone, the number one game would have to be eFootball PES 2021. There are other much-loved games of the same ilk including Underworld Football Manager, Soccer Manager, Hattrick and more. There isn’t much in it from a technical perspective, however.
Our take
You couldn’t make a ‘best of’ football manager games without including Dream League Soccer. Not everybody loves every aspect of the game. The fact there aren’t enough German players or leagues in the 2020 version is disappointing. You are also forced to upgrade your stadium before progressing to the next season which costs a lot of virtual coins. Overall though, Dream League Soccer 2020 scores very highly.
Should you download it?
If you are looking for a fun game to play on your phone or tablet then Dream League Soccer 2020 is well worth a try. It’s free to download so you can’t go wrong. Even in a popularity contest, Dream League Soccer would rank highly having amounted over 40 million downloads between its 2019 and classic versions.
The game is nearly perfect, but there are some aspects being considered for improvement: A feature for creating a second player is being requested. Clubs from other regions, such as America or Japan, similar to the variety seen in DLS Classic, are suggested to be added, so that the club selection isn't limited to just the European region. The costs for upgrading stadiums or facilities, as well as the fees for agents, are being noted as excessively expensive.
