Pre Season 2022 League 6 Ontario is the place we call home to start with. We will be playing in the Ontario regional leagues all the way up to Step 4, then it becomes nationalised. We are 50-1 to win the league. We've also got the Canadian Championship Cup to focus on. We enter this in the 3rd Qualifying - there are 15 or so rounds in this cup. We can't officially make the final either as that is excluded Amateur teams. Not that this should be a worry for a number of decades. Intake day is sometime in September so will be outside of the regular season. So for this season at least it's as you were. Pre Season was just about putting minutes into legs.

It's been one day since you looked at me Cocked your head to the side and said, "I'm angry" Five hours since you laughed at me Saying, "Get that office cleared, your fired" Three hours since I started again I realized it's not quite right In minutes you'd forgiven me But it'll still be two days 'til I say I'm sorry. So, what the heck does that all mean? Basically... Was enjoying the Lounovice save until they sacked me off, just when we were starting to see some fabulous looking players. Started a new save last night using the below Canadian database, but it wasn’t quite right, so we are going again. https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/569385-528-team-11-level-canadian-pyramid-22230/ Canadian Level 11 database, Youth Only. We start at Level 10 – the 11th level is college football so we can’t get promoted out of that so we are starting at 10. Our journey is with Scarborough Robbie, The club is a homage to the Barenaked Ladies. BNL are a Canadian rock band, formed in 1998 and still going today – last year they played at the Royal Albert Hall in London, I was there, the 5th time I have seen them live. They are MY band. The one that gets the toes tapping. The in game current owner is Ed Robertson, who also happens to be the lead singer of the group – a lovely touch from the guy who created the database. “The Robbie” play at the Birchmount Stadium – Home of the Robbie. To explain the name, the Birchmount Stadium serves as the primary stadium for the annual Robbie International Soccer Tournament, which bills itself as "the world's largest annual charitable youth soccer tournament." It is referenced in the BNL song “One Week”. Diego Maradona played one of his last professional matches at the ground – according to Wikipedia. A few aims: Infrastructure · Reach the top grades for Junior Coaching, Youth Recruitment, Youth Facilities and Training Facilities. We are starting from the absolute · Have a waiting list for season tickets – we currently sell about 60-70 a season and the ground are an 8,000 capacity. So, we need to sell these out. · Get more twitter followers than the Canadian National League - 37,076 at time of the start and will keep updating that figure as we progress. Trophies · Become the biggest side in Canada, North America and the World - based on reputation. At the start there are roughly 500 bigger teams in the Canada. We are Obscure. We don't even come close to appearing on either the European or World stages yet so let’s leave those as "in progress" · Win the North American Champions League with a squad of Academy Players Global Network · Create affiliate links with clubs from all over the world - have an affiliate from each continent represent the first team AND their international full side · Have 100 nations coming through my academy - they have to make a first team appearance to qualify. One thing that has struck me in my “test” last night (I prefer test over failed save attempt) is that a lot of the Canadians have dual nationalities and it’s a really diverse country so should get some fantastic nationalities coming through. · Have a player appear in the NXGN top 50 wonderkids list that has come through the academy. · Have a player top the NXGN top 50 wonderkids list that has come through the academy. International Credit · Have a player from our academy represent Canada at International Level from U19 to Senior · Have a player from our academy represent another nation at International Level from U19 to Senior · Create a team of full internationals from Canada - positions based on the Scouts opinion of their strongest position · Create a team of full internationals from another nations (excluding Canada) - positions based on the Scouts opinion of their strongest position Longevity · Have a player from the academy make 1000 appearance for the club - only ever done this in Brazil · Have a player from the academy score 300 goals for the club - only had 1 player do this before and he wasn't an academy player · Create a team of 500+ appearance makers - positions based on the Scouts opinion of their strongest position There will be lots of Barenaked Ladies references as we attempt to BRING IT HOME. Oh, and if I get sacked then the next manager in my head will continue the journey. The first manager will be Boothby Graffoe, in real life he is a Stand Up Musical Comedian who often opens for BNL when they are in UK, in this reality he is a Panamanian with no qualifications or experience that settled in Scarborough and sent his CV in.

Yes!!!! Now to dominate the top league

March 2022 Joy and triumphant. We have kicked off our league AND cup campaigns!! 3pts on the opening day with two 15 year olds scoring. Both Bowyer and Kearns quick off the mark. Back down to earth in the next game - we threw away a 2-1 lead late on. The cup seems to be where we thrive right now, 1 higher graded side accounted for, and one of the new additions (Eric Savvas) enjoying himself with a few goals. Noah Durão signed on the morning of the Cup tie against Storm, playing Right Back and scored twice. The addition of three players has moved our odds from 2000-1 to 1-16, the odds are that we will probably be ALRIGHT... Even though we've had a win, draw and a defeat from the opening three. Bowyer looks so happy to be here.

Pre Season 2022. It's fair to say we are not favourites.. I've got no staff and barely a squad of players. Fortunately the expectation matches the situation. No sackings here. (yet) I rely on my staff for EVERYTHING. I have no idea what constitutes a good player. The job's are live but no fish are biting yet. Fortunately Ed pops up with an U23 manager and I can get my first view on the talent pool. Luka is the star man, but wanted by several bigger fish. A hotch-potch of clubs in pre-season One new signing - made blind. Don't judge me..

A few pointers. My favourite band are the Barenaked Ladies - if you haven't heard of them, then shame on you. If you have and you enjoy the Ladies then you shall enjoy this thread. I've been on a journey since finding this Database - to find the perfect club to kick things off. One nearest to the Ladies home of Scarborough, Ontario. I've found one that fits it perfectly. In League 6 Ontario Group B, sit Scarborough Robbie, owned by "Ed Robertson", who just so happens to be the lead singer of BNL. It could be coincidence, it could be some editing wizardry from someone. Whatever the reason, I don't care. It's time to make them great. Sadly, I don't have a budget of 1,000,000 dollars, and it's going to take me more than One Week for this journey to complete. I've got a simple mission. Reach the top of the Canadian Tree and win the North American Champions League. The Ground

Going to be using this database to try and take a side from the League6 Ontario Group B to the top of the tree. Found the perfect club - Scarborough Robbie. Love a good BNL reference.

I think i'm going to another country - just need to find the correct one Cheers. New save incoming I think.

Popped in here to see some success.. Not disapointed.. Great stuff.. My journey not as good...

April 2027 6 points behind the front runner with 5 to play. If we win all 5 and have some results go our way we can get promoted. If not we might be having a difficult conversation with the board in the summer. Several debuts for the trip to Loko Chumotov, an early goal and plenty of hustle and bustle but we cannot force a winner. The top two both win. It's almost done. Pavel Hůlka (5J), Pavel Koubek (5A) and Rostislav Tarlovskiy (5B) make debuts. Nothing but victory against 2nd place Mohelnice was the order... and... we got nothing. A month that summed up our season - get ourselves to a point where we can do something... ultimately fail to convert and fall short. For the first time.. The highest we can finish is 3rd. However... Will the journey continue? Add a manager? Take revenge and find another club? Find another save idea? Who knows... Time to think..

Youth Intake Review.. (end of March 2027) Another really good intake. Pavel Koubek (5A) is already good enough to be a star player. Rostislav Tarlovskiy (5B) is a Belaruissian so is another nation for us to enjoy, and is good enough to be part of the matchday 16. Václav Novotný (5C) is now our best left winger. 13 players were signed. I let 2 go and to be fair I could have signed them but they were the worst of the bunch so would have been back up and both were right wingers and i've got a few of them already - even Kim Cahill (1D) can't get a game right now.

March 2027 On deadline day we lost our first graduate to a higher graded side. Emeka Philip (4L) has joined 3rd tier Olomouc - Holice, he's gone into their U19 squad. He played 5 games and never performed, although he has potential. He also ticked off Nigeria. We crushed Sternberk to move within 4pts of the leader. No one wants it do they? Horní Bříza were the club which kicked us off our perch early in the season, a revenge win could put us closer to the summit than we've been since last year. We got pegged back by a fairly late goal. 6pts with 5 to play. Mohelnice are on the menu for April. AND then Intake DAY.... A full assessment tomorrow as it's late but... Tony is a fairly mid range ability player. We've got a couple of stunners.

February 2027 We've never beaten Jirny. We could do with pulling something out the bag. Star keeper out. 2 of our gems talking to other clubs. Managerial pressure rising. Ridiculous.. Miroslav Majer (1E) turns down the chance to move on, and becomes our record attendance maker on the same day. He will remain until the summer at least. As to will Michal Šelicha (2B) who has turned down some 4th tier sides to keep the party going. Three wins on the spin.. Somehow we are now 4th. 7pts off the leader with 7 to play. We play the leaders in April.

January 2027 B team month. 2 games, both against B teams. A perfect time to bounce back.... ouch.... 2-0 down after 8 minutes and it didn't get much better. Only 137 people bothered to attend. A record low. Jan Štochl (4N) you are a beautiful group of pixels.. A winner.. A WINNER... And Kolin are beaten. Only 2 fans travelled to watch it.. Annoyingly we are only 7pts off the leaders. We play Jirny at the start of February. 9 games left - if somehow we go on a run, it's not outside of the realms of impossibility to get something (is it?) And to top off the month.... We've all had heavy falls recently Vlad...

December 2026 You can't get sacked in December - it's nearly Christmas. I've been a 4-4-2 man for most of the save, with a little dabble in 4-2-3-1 so I think it's time to go to the back up formation. It's doesn't fully work but we pick up a point. But lose Nikola Ćirić (4O) for a few weeks. After playing sides in the bottom half, we go away to Konice on Boxing Day, who sit 4th (ahead of us...) and we avoid defeat. 9pts off the leader with 11 games to go. Having only two games a month, really drags out the torture. But at least the intake looks good..

November 2026 2 games this month, against 14th and 15th. Anything apart from 6pts and we can probably start chatting to the board with our excuses in hand.. Jan Štochl (4N) is doing what he needs to do. Other's are not. 10th goal of the season in the Lipnik draw. They scored a late goal which is fairly standard. 8pts off the leaders. No one is running away with it. The board are currently satisfied. We are still employed as we enter December.

October 2026 We wont win anything this month, but we can lose it. I can't see Jirny dropping many points so we need to keep winning games. Star man Ladislav Meszaros (4K) will miss most of the next 2 months with a groin injury (as no questions..) and Tomáš Kotrba (4M) hasn't scored in 8. Whilst Kotrba is having a quiet moment, Nikola Ćirić (4O) banged in a hattrick as we clicked against Skaštice. Orlova come from behind and win it in the 92nd minute. The paper well and truly leaving the boot in. We are "only" 6 points adrift of the leaders, but the chasing pack have closen the gap.

September 2026 That August optimism has faded slightly. A birthday draw (one to forget apparantly) started the month. Victory over Sternberk took us top, before the trip to Horní Bříza (lol..) who are 3rd. They were hard. They were up for it. They f****ed us up... no. no. we are family friendly. They won. Maximum points at home, but dropped points away. It's in danger of becoming a two horse race as Horni are a bit inconsistent. Sometimes they want it, sometimes they don't.. Nikola Ćirić (4O) has come into the side due to injury this month and has gotten a couple of goals. A strong back-up option for the level.

August 2026 Huge month - 3 of the top 4 to play during the month. A perfect month... until it wasn't. 2pts clear after just under a third of the season. Tomáš Kotrba (4M) is a boy on a mission - already 2nd in the all-time top scorer list for graduates after a double against Dobrovice. Konice were unbeaten before they came to town. Admire B are a side with a big reputation, they were dispatched to make it 5 from 5. Man of the moment has been our diminutive Slovakian

July 2026 It's season 5 time. 26 players have been released. The majority never featured for the side and will disapear into full time work outside of Football. The big news is that among the 26 are the remaining players who didn't come through the academy. The notable ones (in the loosest possible terms) Radosław Banaszak - 107 games, 44 goals - joined Všechovice (same level) Milan Vebr - 106 games, 3 goals - joined Hvězda Cheb (same level) Marek Šebek - 91 games, 61 goals Libor Tomášek (a defender I don't think I ever mentioned) - 81 games, 0 goals Karen Hovhannisyan (1F) - 22 games Ondřej Frejlach (2F) - 20 games Manuel Bechtel (1H) - 1 game Remember that the board want promotion, which means we must win the league. I'm not convinced we are ready. Jan Štochl (4N) didn't score in the 4 games he featured in last season - made up for it on the opening day. 4 classic goals in a demolition of a B team. First 4 goal haul of the save. Against Lipnik we were cruising and let them back in it, but thankfully we had a second win and won it late on. 2 from 2. Can't ask for more than that. Our strikers look like they are going to score a fair amount of goals.

Congrats on your promotion, the juggernaut continues..

2025/2026 Review Positives: Fantastic intake, lots of immediate first teamers have just arrived. We have the best Junior Coaching and Youth Recruitment at this level. Michal Šelicha (2B) had another fantastic season at Centre Half - 7.2 avge rating. 2nd in the Player of the Year award Smashed the record attendance with 468 attending the home match against Usti Nigeria and Slovakia added to the list of nations Negatives: No improvement - we've gone slightly backwards, losing our main keeper to a higher graded side after 2 games didn't help matters and it took us a while to recover. The debt has double to -£30k, a direct result of the amount of money pushed towards the Intake factors We have 62 players so it's time for a cull The below..... The full squad listed below. It's too big. Lots will depart.

May 2026 Last 3 games of the season, not won in 5. Very much midtable madness this year - without the madness. Tomáš Kotrba (4M) is making a name for himself in the local pub and club, a double secures the win against Smichov, then a goal and 2 assists to beat Batov - although before we get too excited, that's 14th and 15th in the league.. Keeper Vladimír Vostárek (4A) already has admirers in the 3rd tier.. That's 4 seasons complete.

I'm quite excited by it. Although the best player is classed as an average lower division player..

April 2026 11 of our intake were involved in the match day squad. The new era started with a point. Tomáš Kotrba (4M) with a debut goal. 8 debutants. Austria and Slovakia ticked off as nations through the intake as well. Two records broken as well. It's been a rare slow start from the juniors. 3 games left, 8th position
