Blood Bowl is the only one I can think of.

Blood bowl has no depth.

Blood Bowl has a lot of depth, actually. Definitely more strategies and play-styles than Football Tactics when you consider the variety of races and skills available.

When did i say football tactics had any depth?

Why reply if you're not going to respond to the OP? If both games "have no depth", then Blood Bowl should be similar enough, right?

I can see there is Tactical Soccer that seems to be based on similar concept. But looks ugly, at least on the screenshots.

The bigger issue with Blood Bowl is that there isn't a decent computer game out to play it.

I did enjoy chaos edition but the major flaw in turn limits really screwed up trying to teach someone the game. I didn't bother with the second one, partially due to the disgusting promo teams offered for consoles, and mostly because it has a lack of decent campaign.

Regarding "similar games" I have the following, which fall under the purview of turn-based fun consider the following:

X-Com
Epic Manager
Armello

This is assuming you're after turn-based fun, and not just turn-based sports games. I don't think there are many options for turn-based sports games that really work well. (If only someone would make a Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe turn-based game!)

Frozen Codex might be up your alley, it's more american football with simultanious turns (both plan actions and then they get executed).

Blood Bowl 2 is good. I have the legendary edition, great multiplayer. Good single player. I like the look of this game though, it does seem kind of similar.

Not sure there's any games like this available that is a direct comparison. But I'd recommend "New Star Manager". Got 120 hours in it, and it's quite fun to bang out seasons in it. Doesn't have the chess component thou.

If you drop the football aspect alltogether, I'm finding "Battle Brothers" to be comparable. It's basically all about building a group of companions to square off at a highly interesting tactical grid.

Blood Bowl is good. The first one is a little deeper than the second as far as team management goes. Frozen Codex was fun too.

Ganbare! Super Strikers is very similar to this game. Team management is a little less deep, a bit more on rails, but its a fun game with the same sort of tactical play.

Speaking of which, when you look at the skills in Ganbare!, reminds me a lot of Blitzball in Final Fantasy X. Absolute best mini-game in a Final Fantasy game. Highly recommended if you don't mind having to also play through the whole Final Fantasy game to get access to new recruits. They brought Blitzball back in X-2, but it was nerfed a bit, the X version is the best.

They are not competitive sports games like this game but the Disgaea series has single player turn-based gameplay, squad based tactics, and allows the player to build up a group of characters and combine them however they like, plus it has a puzzle based element like this game does to give you things to think about. It scratches a lot of the same itches as this game.

Some other single player turn-based, squad tactics games that let you do free form squad management I can think of are X-Com: Enemy Unknown & XCOM 2, Massive Chalice, Valkyria Chronicles, Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark, Fallout Tactics, Templar Battleforce, and Jagged Alliance. Again none of these are sports management games.

The only sports management game I can think of like this that is turn-based that I know is decent is Blood Bowl. If don't mind real-time gameplay instead of turn-based then there's the FIFA games from Electronic Arts. the Football Manager series from SEGA, and PES from Konami. I believe all of these have at least one mode that offers team management, but I don't know if they have actual player development or if you can only improve your team by trading for other players.
