albertluque Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 The Aim To take a North East England based football club and build a squad capable of winning the Champions League with players born in the North East or recognised as home-grown players of the North East teams. The Rules Start the game with any reputation and badges you wish, preferably ones that match the level at which you are starting your career. You can load whichever leagues you wish, I'd recommend adding the option to load all players of British and Irish nationality. The Club options available on the regular database are as follows. English Premier League Newcastle United : Training Facilities - 13 Youth Facilities - 13 Youth Recruitment - 13 Transfer Budget - 23m Wage Budget - 1m Key Challenge Players: Daniel Barlaser (HG + Born Gateshead) Freddie Woodman (HG) Jack Colback (HG Sunderland + Born Newcastle) Paul Dummett (HG + Born Newcastle English Championship Middlesbrough : Training Facilities - 18 Youth Facilities - 18 Youth Recruitment - 16 Transfer Budget - 10m Wage Budget - 597k Key Challenge Players: Dael Fry (HG + Born Middlesbrough) Harry Chapman (HG + Born Hartlepool) Lewis Wing (Born Newton Aycliffe) Marcus Tavernier (HG) Stewart Downing (HG + Born Middlesbrough) English League 1 Sunderland Training Facilities - 18 Youth Facilities - 17 Youth Recruitment - 12 Transfer Budget - 4m Wage Budget - 225k Key Challenge Players: Bali Mumba (HG + Born South Shields) George Honeyman (HG + Born Newcastle) Lynden Gooch (HG) Lee Cattermole (HG Middlesbrough + Born Stockton-on-Tees) English Vanarama National Gateshead Training Facilities - 9 Youth Facilities - 8 Youth Recruitment - 8 Transfer Budget - 7k Wage Budget - 13k Key Challenge Players: Greg Olley (HG Newcastle - Born Durham) Robbie Tinkler (HG Middlesbrough) John Mellish (HG) Tom White (HG) Jack Hunter (HG Newcastle - Born Newcastle) Hartlepool Training Facilities - 9 Youth Facilities - 9 Youth Recruitment - 8 Transfer Budget - 0 Wage Budget - 23k Key Challenge Players: Luke Williams (HG Middlesbrough + Born Middlesbrough) Luke James (HG + Born Ashington) Liam Noble (HG Sunderland + Born Newcastle) Conor Newton (HG Newcastle + Born Gateshead) Paddy McLaughlin (HG Newcastle) English Vanarama North Blyth Spartans Training Facilities - 5 Youth Facilities - 3 Youth Recruitment - 2 Transfer Budget - 5k Wage Budget - 6k Key Challenge Players: Louis Laing (HG Sunderland + Born Newcastle) Dan Maguire (Born Newcastle) Kieran Green (HG Hartlepool + Born Stockton-on-Tees) Sean Reid (Born Newcastle) Darlington Training Facilities - 2 Youth Facilities - 4 Youth Recruitment - 4 Transfer Budget - 5k Wage Budget - 8k Key Challenge Players: Jonny Maddison (HG Sunderland + Born Chester-le-street) Terry Galbraith (Born Gateshead) Jonny Burn (HG Sunderland + Born Darlington) Spennymoor Training Facilities - 5 Youth Facilities - 2 Youth Recruitment - 3 Transfer Budget - 8k Wage Budget - 7k Key Challenge Players: Rob Ramshaw (Born Durham) Callum Williams (HG Newcastle + Born Bishop Auckland) Jamie Chandler (HG Sunderland + Born South Shields) Scottish League 2 Berwick Rangers Training Facilities - 9 Youth Facilities - 6 Youth Recruitment - 6 Transfer Budget - 3k Wage Budget - 2k Key Challenge Players: None Players who are currently contracted at the club can continue as long as you wish to keep them - you are not obligated to construct a full HG or NE squad immediately. For example, Ayoze Perez can remain part of your Newcastle squad until he retires but he cannot be resigned if sold (unless he qualifies as home grown). Finally, to assist with the purchase and finding players, I have created two transfer filters. The first filters players who are born in every listed 'city' within the North East included in the game and the second outlines HG players for the playable North East teams within the game (you may have to add Berwick and South Shields to this). NE Born.fmf ne hg.fmf Is it possible to win the Champions League with North East Born or North East Home Grown players? YOU CAN'T BUY PLAYERS AT A YOUNG AGE WHO AREN'T BORN OR HG WITHIN THE N.E. YOU CAN KEEP ANY PLAYER WHO HAS COME THROUGH AT YOUR ACADEMY, SO BE SURE TO SET UP FEEDER CLUBS TO ALLOW YOU TO GET THEM IN YOUR YOUTH TAKE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertluque Posted December 14, 2018 Author Share Posted December 14, 2018 I have just started out on my own challenge - opting to manage Newcastle as none other than Shola Ameobi. Two targets I have in mind are Tamas Kadar, who will challenge Dummett for a starting spot and act as an extra option in the back three, possibly allowing me to get rid of Ciaran Clark and Kevin Mbabu who can do the same on the right of defense, allowing me to try and dispose of Manquillo, both qualifying because of their status as HG at Newcastle. First action though was to give Sean Longstaff a new contract through until 2021. Pickings are slim on the actual N.E. born side of things. Got £23m to spend but not a lot to spend it on. Shaun Hutchison of Millwall has caught my eye but think defensively we're fairly well stocked at the minute and would be better off trying to get Dael Fry as a long term central defensive option. Also, Peacock-Farrell is a good option but with Freddie Woodman in the squad, not got much need for a goalkeeper either. 2018 Summer Window: Transfers In - Tamas Kadar (HG Newcastle) : £4,000,000 Marcus Tavernier (HG Middlesbrough) : £5,000,000 ---------- 1st Team Eligibility: Paul Dummett - Born Newcastle - HG Newcastle Tamas Kadar - HG Newcastle Sean Longstaff - Born North Shields - HG Newcastle Jamie Sterry - Born Newcastle - HG Newcastle Marcus Tavernier - HG Middlesbrough Freddie Woodman - HG Newcastle 6/28 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
