Now that we've seen the best, let's look at what we've got. Bush Hill Rangers Best 3* Players *4 players: I added one extra as these four players have a four-star rating or higher. Albeit our assistant manager's opinion isn't one I'll be relying on too often to pick the team, this showcases our club's best players against the best players the city has produced (shown a few posts earlier). We have a long way to go and a lot of work to do in the transfer market.

3 best staff from Enfield Ryan Mason became the interim head coach at Tottenham last season after spending a lot of his career with the club. He suffered an infamous on-pitch medical incident that shortened his playing career but has sprouted great potential in such a young coach. He also holds the record for the most expensive Enfieldian transfer with his £12.5M move from Spurs to Hull. Steve Morison played in all of the top 7 tiers of English football as well as being capped 20 times for Wales. He's now working his 3rd managerial post at Sutton United. Mikele Leigertwood is not only Reading's U18 manager, but has also managed his National team Antigua & Barbuda for the past 2 years too.

The 3 biggest prospects from Enfield Ethan Nwaneri has an exciting future ahead of him as the 16 year old has already made his Premier League debut for Arsenal. Alfie Dorrington is a young centre-back touted for big things at Tottenham. Jeriel Dorsett is a bit older at 21, but he's already featured prominently in League 2 and more recently in the Scottish Premier League for Kilmarnock.

After Muttley84's post, I thought now would be a good time to look at the 3 best players from Enfield. Jake Livermore is arguably the most famous player from Enfield, and with his £10M move from West Brom to Hull in 2016, I think he is the most expensive Enfield-born football player still playing. He also holds the record for the most England caps for an Enfield-born player with 7. Josh Onomah is another player who has made numerous appearances in the Premier League, but he's currently a free agent after departing Championship Preston last season. Roy Chipolina is the Enfield-born player with the most international caps. The Gibraltarian international has racked up 68 caps and has spent the entirety of his club career playing in the Gibraltarian leagues.

Hey mate, you're right, it was me! I loved that save in the last edition and played a lot further than I wrote up on the forums. I'm hoping to keep up with both this edition so hopefully we will both be able to see some Enfield players at Premier League level

Skin I've adapted the skin colours to the quality levels down in level 11. Any time we gain promotion, I'll increase all of these figures by 1 (or make a decision based on how our players profiles are looking). Any other potential enhancements or different skin recommendations are welcome

Squad The first thing we had to do was to let go of all of the non-Enfield-born players. Thankfully it didn't cost us anything to terminate these 9 amateur contracts and I could concentrate on the 25 remaining Enfield-born players. Between myself and Ass Man Lew, we picked our first and second XI. There's a few players we need to retrain into positions that will suit them better, but we're also looking at where and how we can improve the squad in the transfer market too. This season we'll be looking to create a solid 22-man squad to keep in rotation and fight for starting spots. As we're amateur, if anyone does start attracting interest from elsewhere, we don't have much power to stop them leaving, so we will need to make sure that we have some sort of quality in depth (although quality might not be the right word down in the 11th tier ).

Staff There were no other staff at the club when I arrived and even through a thorough search and numerous offers, I could only find one other Enfield-born staff member to join the backroom team. As a result, Lew has been assigned the Assistant Manager role, but will also do our scouting, press conferences, training etc.

Manager Jenna Schillaci {wiki] [short video of her talking in the lead up to the North London derby in 2019] Schillaci joined Tottenham in the regional divisions and spent a year with the team before moving to QPR and then on to her local club Enfield Town. Eight years on from her initial spell with Spurs, she returned and was part of the team that gained 3 promotions and lifted 8 trophies over the next 11 years, including captaining the side as they won promotion to the WSL for the first time. Overall she amassed over 200 games for Tottenham and is bringing a wealth of playing experience to the club.

Club I'll be managing Bush Hill Rangers. They play in the 11th tier, in the same league as both Hinton & Cockfosters Reserves (other Enfield-based clubs). Our club's financial situation is precarious, but we're a completely amateur club, so no player or staff member is being paid (including myself). We share a decent-sized ground, but sadly it's not in Enfield. We are a club with a minimal reputation so during the first few years emphasis will be placed on improving the youth setup as I think that will be a quicker pathway to finding better Enfield-born players than increasing our reputation to attract current Enfield-born players.

Competition Tiers The highest level that an Enfield club currently plays at is the 7th tier: 7th Tier Enfield Town 8th Tier Enfield FC 9th Tier Cockfosters 10th Tier Brimsdown Enfield Borough 11th Tier Bush Hill Rangers Cockfosters Reserves* Hinton 12th Tier OIR FC** *Cockfosters Reserves play two tiers below their main team. **OIR FC are a Somalian club based in Enfield. They only recruit Somali-born players and therefore are not eligible for the challenge. Therefore we have 7 teams that will be likely to produce youngsters born in Enfield each season, and 8 potential teams to manage (if we include Cockfosters Reserves). [EDIT] Actually it seems that Enfield FC are producing youngsters without a place of birth. Therefore we have 6 teams that will be likely to produce youngsters born in Enfield each season, and 7 potential teams to manage (if we include Cockfosters Reserves).

Starting from the 11th tier in England, my aim is to be as successful as possible by using only players born in Enfield. Why Enfield? 1. It's my hometown. 2. There are 8* eligible clubs to help us on the way. 3. It's one of the biggest City's in the country without a big team. Clubs in Enfield

Youth Intake Preview

Nov 2026 We're back to winning ways, only dropping points to Spurs. Two big 5-0 games in a row I am excited about our form and trying to close the gap at the top of the Premier league!

Oct 2026 How quickly things can turn around. We've had Arsenal, Chelsea, both Manchester clubs, Real Madrid and league-leaders Newcastle in just over a month. I'm happy we snatched a point off Madrid, but 3 losses in the league means we've been swiped off of top spot and fallen to 5th.

Sep 2026 A huge win at Arsenal in a month only marred by dropping points at home to Chelsea. We've started so strong!

5 games in to the league season and Ferguson has matched his tally from last season!

In the summer we agreed another facility improvement, which will take us to maximum in all four categories once complete. But it has meant that other clubs have started poaching our youth players - a 2nd player has left, this time to Chelsea. UCL Our fixtures look decent. Two huge games against Real Madrid & Man United. I fancy our chances against the rest. The squad looks strong!

Aug 2026 We've had a perfect start. Ferguson has been on fire and we haven't conceded yet!
