FM Base FC was formed in 2010, in the central(ish) location of Leicester. Originally formed with 25 founding players, the club went from strength to strength, rising up through the leagues, reaching the Vanarama Conference North in time for the 2014-15 season.

That's where the fun and games started. It all started with a consecutive promotion, as Grimsby were automatically relegated for some fishy accounting. Drawn out of a hat, FM Base took their place.
This would have been fine, had FM Base not just parted with all but 5 of their players. The remaining 5 were Jamie Williams, Lewie Roberts, Ricardo Goyzueta, Matt Harrison and Jari M-Litmanen. Those players that had left had all joined conference teams, expecting to be able to push through the leagues at an even quicker rate. Little did they know their old club could yet be following them.
Thankfully for the club, FM Base have an established youth set up which brings in players from across the world, giving them a chance to play football. This is done in the same way that the original team members originally found their way in the footballing world.
Facilities-wise, the club play at The Base, an 11.5k seater stadium. With a good expansion potential, the club is looking to stay there in the long term.

The chairman at the club is Dean Prescott, having completed a successful takeover on the 1/7/14. His first move was to replace the manager, with God Fish being the elected choice to lead the club on further. In addition, 4 staff members were hired to join the existing structure. Manuel Pablo and Juan Carlos Valeron were both Deportivo legends, and both jumped at the chance to help mentor some of the worlds best upcoming players. Jamie Carragher and Luis Garcia also joined the backroom staff, with both having vital experience of top flight English football.
