How many and which leagues do you activated?

Do you get any money for winning the league or cup?

All the English, Welsh, Scottish, Spanish and Portuguese.

Get a little for winning the cup, no prize money in the League. We are relying hugely on the Champions League money.

Gib-Flag_zps3f7e1245.jpg

April - July 2019.

The new Youth Prospects came through ...

Darryl Hughes YP7a

Odysseas Bilic YP7b

Oğuz Kavaş YP7c

Anthony Berry YP7d

Mehmet Toplu YP7e

Kenny Perry YP7f

With all the recent upgrades they look better than ever and most slot straight into

the side.

Former Gib International becomes Head of Youth Development!

Club being sold!?

So we win the League a couple of games into April (a little later than previous seasons ...)

League Table|Player Stats

Reserve League

The Squad

The Rock Cup Final - So thats another Treble.

Fans Player of the Season: Brian Dean YP6a - Dean was on fire, scoring 16 in 16 games. As well as 2 goals in his 8 International caps.

Released a lot of players who are no longer good enough (including alot of old YP's)

Seasons Best XI - Overall Best XI

The Gib Premier Division is rising fast in the Euro Competitions rankings.

Gibraltarian Clubs Rankings - We stay top.

Europe;

Clubs Co-Efficients.

Champions League 1st Qual rd draw: Tre Fiori (San Marino)

1st leg, Away vs Tre Fiori

How things have changed over the seasons. This is considered an easy win for us,

and we do what is expected 3-0 away win.

2nd leg, Home vs Tre Fiori

5-1 win and an 8-1 aggregate score sees us through to the 2nd qual. rd again.

2nd qual rd draw: APOEL

1st leg, Home vs APOEL

Always going to be tough, this is a team who make the Group stages at times ...

4-0 loss.

2nd leg, Away vs APOEL

We manage to hold them to a 3-0 loss, fairly happy with the result, we weren't embarrassed.

Euro places retained for another Season. (We did get an extra spot in the Europa Cup this year).

International;

Home vs Poland

Quite a respectable result really, 2-0 loss.

Away vs Czech Rep

Torn apart by the Czech attack, but is was always going to be one of the toughest

games in the group. 9-0 loss.

Current ECQ Group 8 Table

WCQ Draw for Qatar 2022

August - November 2019

International;

August

Home vs Kuwait - Friendly

We found the game a little tough, back to minnows next Friendly dates.

September

Home vs N. Ireland - ECQ

Home vs Portugal - ECQ

Always have tough game against N. Ireland and Portugal are just too good.

October

Away vs Poland - ECQ

We had been getting better against Poland, took a step backwards here. The

next game is the big one .. Can we finish off the bottom of the group!?

Home vs San Marino - ECQ

Needed a win to go above San Marino ... Gutted! Barely held the lead for 10

minutes, even though we had possession they were perhaps the better side

and at the least deserved the draw.

Final Euro Qual. Group.

November

Home vs Faroe Islands

Wasn't that easy but we got the win we needed and probably deserved.

Away vs Malta

Was a much tougher game than i thought, Malta have been in freefall down

the FIFA rankings and i thought we could take advantage .. No such luck.

FC Britannia;

Fancy a bet!?

The takeover rumours continue ... This time we have rejections - Wish it would just be over, everything seems

to go soo slowly here on the Rock.

Joe Scott takes Citizenship!

Transfers|Finances

The loans out was a bit annoying this year, clubs kept on coming in for the players

who would be getting first team games and ignoring the guys i was offering out. So

our squad is extremely large this season. I can see myself having to release guys if

they don't get games. Our finances are looking solid but we are losing around 35-40k

a month at the moment, so we may drop below the 500k mark, before June and

Europe.

Doing brilliantly on the Rock, just keep plugging away in Europe - how much money does third qualifying round net you?

A first Qual. round K.O bags 120k, 2nd 240k and if i ever make the 3rd i'd get 365k. (Plus money for winning or drawing, so it's big money even making the 2nd rd as i have been). Got around 400k this season, so it's funding our Facilities upgrades, i just wonder how much cash i need in the bank to go Pro, whether i'd be better off now leaving money in the bank for a couple of seasons rather than spending on upgrades.

Clubs Co-Efficients|Competition Rankings|Nations Co-Efficients|Qualifications Places

Champions League 2nd qual rd draw: AIK - Damn that's a tough draw.

2nd qual rd, 1st leg.

Home vs AIK

2nd qual rd, 2nd leg.

Away vs AIK

It was always going to be a tough ask but to lose 11-0 on Agg. Is pretty

of wins.

The Rest of Big;

Hi, I stumbled across your thread last night and it inspired me to give it a go. I've downloaded your database edit and taken control of Cannons FC in the second division and also the NT. The only problem is that there are no Gibraltan strikers in the game! No team in either league has a striker. I've had to offer contracts to two greyed-out strikers so that I can use them for my club team.

I did manage to snatch a 0-0 draw against Moldova with the NT in the WC Qualifiers though:

Using this formation:

I look forward to seeing how you get on with your challenge, enjoying it so far.

The sending off probably helped, but impressive result. The no strikers thing is a problem with the Editor i believe, not too sure why it does it though. You'll get CF's in Youth Intakes though so don't worry. And Good luck

December 2020 - March 2021;

FC Britannia;

First things first, the Season opener - The Pepe Reyes Cup.

Another season, another Pepe Reyes cup win. On the Rock Cup front we are

through to the 2nd rd so far after a 4-2 win over Leo Parilla.

Gibraltar 'Legend' Joseph has announced his retirement

Joseph - Staff Stats. Hopefully i'll be able to bring him into the Britannia setup, if not i think a job with

the National side is on the cards.

Transfers

In: Marijan Husinec, Paolo Cesar and Drazen Benic.

Benic is going to be an handful, he has already been pictured twice coming out of

a nightclub - Fined him twice, hopefully he gets the message he isn't in Gib to party.

Current Premier Division table.

Now that we are pro i am really having to stop myself signing everyone my scouts

recommend, i want to keep the squad mostly Gibraltarian ... Will have to resist,

think i may bring a few Brits in though.

International;

February

Home vs Tanzania - Friendly

Another 4-2 loss, we seem to enjoy this score.

March

Away vs Albania - WCQ

A very tough match, the consolation goal came very late. 3-1 loss.

April 2021 - July 2021;

FC Britannia;

We won the Premier Division Title and with a record 42 points to boot. Go us!

So that left the Rock Cup to give us a Treble for the first time in a couple ..

The Rock Cup Final.

So we are back in the Treble winning game!

Premier Division Table|Player Stats

The Squad

Record Attendance.

During the Season i also had my 200th FC Britannia game in charge vs Lions FC

Youth Candidates, Class of 21'

Kingsley Fox YP9a

Frazer Russell YP9b

Add Reserve League to the Trophy's we won.

The Rock Cup Record Attendance broken.

New Sponsorship.

Seasons best XI

Player of the Season: Jorge Veloso

Gibraltarian Clubs Rankings

Europe;

European Competitions Rankings|Clubs Co-Efficients|Nations Co-Efficients|Qualification Places

The Qualifying rd 2 draw: Slovan Bratislava

1st leg, Home vs Bratislava

We did okay, considering the strength of the opposition a 1-0 loss isn't the end

of the world. If we can nick something at their place..

2nd leg, Away vs Bratislava

So thats us out at this stage again. With a slightly kinder draw i have confidence we

could make it past this round in the next couple of years, we could do with it if just

for the extra cash. Our wage budget it staying the same now each season which puts

players needed to strengthen the side just out of reach. We could go out and sign

an entire first team of Foreigners who will improve the first team squad but i would

prefer to balance things and just bring in big improvements and keep our YP's filling

up the other spots.

International

Away vs Poland - WCQ

Home vs Estonia - Friendly

Good to see you still sticking with this challenge. I lost interest just after two seasons. Good luck :)

Thanks, i haven't always got time to play (i work funny shifts) but i'll almost certainly stick to this game until 14 comes out, well i have no plans for any other save at the moment anyway. Latest update should be up sometime today, i'm almost to December.
