Collingwood FC
Est 2016

Aussie Rules giant's Collingwood have ventured out, affiliating themselves with one of Football's power house's, Juventus, creating Collingwood FC.

 View attachment 120369

The organisation are not short of a few quid & with support from Juventus they aim to one day be branded one of football's elite. Collingwood FC have stated that Juventus' involvement will be one of image and not financial.

Collingwood FC will be entered into the 2016/17 Vanarama National League North after Stalybridge Celtic Football Club declared bankruptcy and folded.

The team will be based in the heart of London after they recently put the finishing touches on their new 15,000 seater boutique stadium, Goschs Paddock.

The idea is to start with a small team that has a large backing.
  • I will upload as much as possible, but due to work commitments sometimes that will be hard.
  • The team was created with the editor, not Create-a-club.
  • The team has only one sponsor for their first year, which is for 50,000, currently no other form of income except they do have a Sugar Daddy.
  • Facilities defaulted to 10/10/10/10 which is considered decent/good for Vanarama.

  • As you will see the “In game Editor” is allowed but not used, I have it there only as an emergency if there is a bug in regards to the created team EG: getting too rich to quick.
  • If for some reason I ever had to use the ‘In Game Editor’ I would declare it but lets hope I never do. I do no not understand people who use it to cheat and make players better ect, it takes all the fun out of the game.
  • Reputation is that of a middle table Vanarama North team.
  • The team has been created with random Regens of LLM level.
  • As you will see the transfer budget is a bit big for LLM and I don’t plan on using it, but hopefully that evens out over the first couple seasons otherwise I may have to fix. I didn’t fix it as I had already started and didn’t want to go back.

Key Players
View attachment 120326 View attachment 120325
Both Hill & Walker are streets ahead of anyone in the squad, I have never seen any player this good in LLM, I tested this concept with numerous different saves and it never produced 2 players like this.

Both Hill & Walker have refused to sign contracts, stating "I'm too good for this level of football". Couldn't be more true. Let's see how long I can keep hold of them.

Disclaimer: Thought I was spending 3k on Montrose, rushed transfer, turns out I spent 30K of 50K budget, speaking of 50K budget, after I chose season goals I was given a ridiculous wage budget that couldn't be spent, see below. Hopefully this will even out over time, can't spend that much anyways due to Fair Play.

Pre-Season

View attachment 119932

5 wins from 6 friendly's looks good, however, all are against lower quality teams. I'm a little concerned how we are going to go in the season proper with so many new signings and the tactic still requires a lot of practice & tweaking.

Without Kieron Walker we would have been in trouble.

Still needs work, getting to know the team.

So once again, Caddis is injured, 3 times in 3 months. Walker for a second time and now Scott is injured. Scott & Caddis are my 2 LW, now both out, again FM doesn't like me with 3 of my 4 best players out. So with Walker getting injured again, we made a purchase.


Transfer (In)

Brought in on a free, not very good attacking attributes, but decent mentals and physicals.

It wouldn't be a month without Caddis getting injured, 4 injuries so far this season. Out of control. Lucky Scott has taken his 1st team spot and doesn't look like giving it up.
