Croft Isles (Fictional nation to level 10) 18.03

[rmills2000]

Welcome to the Croft Isles, a bustling tropical footballing paradise off the south-west coast of Africa.

(This is a work in progress but is 99% complete, only some cosmetic adjustments left to make.)

Background;
Hi all, I've been editing since the first editor surfaced and each year I create something daft - this year is no different aside from the fact I thought I'd share it with you all.
The idea was to create a nation from scratch, heavily focused on youth development and high league 'mobility'.
And so, the Croft Isles were spawned.

Creation Notes:
Everything created from scratch;

• 1 Nation
• 20 Cities
• 60 Stadiums
• 60 Professional clubs
• 60 Academy clubs (each affiliated to a Pro club)
• Derbies, Media, Non-Players...

Youth Development;

• All 'Pro' clubs have an affiliated Academy side which may only field U21 players.
• Academy sides are incorporated into the national league structure
  • Academy sides may not reach the same divisional level as their parent club
• All 'Pro' clubs have excellent youth training and youth recruitment
• Limit to 'Foreign' players that may be included in squads

League Mobility;

• Potential for up to SIX sides to be relegated from each division per season
• Bottom 6 sides from each division are pooled with top 6 sides from next division down to contest 'Promotion Playoff'
  • League format, play each other twice
  • Top 6 sides at end of playoff are 'promoted'
  • Bottom 6 sides at end of playoff are 'relegated'
• Championship Playoff in Premier Division
  • Top 8 Premier Division sides contest playoff
  • League format, play each other twice
  • Top 2 sides qualify for African Champions League
  • 3rd & 4th placed sides qualify for African Confederation Cup

"Foreign" Players;

• All teams limited to 10 "Foreign" players in their 35 man squads
  • May include a further 10 in Academy squad providing U21

Hi Jkk,

It's been about 3 weeks on and off, **** reality keeps getting in the way!

No graphics I'm afraid, have never got around to learning how that side works unfortunately, but now you've mentioned it, that's my next mission because that would be a great add-in!

were did you get the idea for this fantasy database​

Was partly born out of my obsession with LLM and developing my own players, combined with some inspiration from my old 5-a-side football league!

I've made various versions of this over the years but this was the biggest edit so far (19,000+ edits).
