I got the idea from Wynner on youtube where he did Liverpool so i thought i would give it a try as Guiseley where you don't bring in anyone except for the Youth Intakes. You can sell players but you cant buy any players.
We will be using the default roster that came when the game came out.
All of our rosters will consist of 2 goalies, 6 defenders, 5 midfielders and 4 strikers and 4 reserve players.
Just a bit of history of myself
Growing up in Hamilton, Ontario Canada I was a huge hockey fan and after completing the SWMM scouting and GM course I knew what it would take to run a successful franchise. However there was no shot in becoming a team manager in hockey unless you had your foot in the door or basically knew someone. Like the saying goes it’s not what you know it’s who you know. So I decided to take my management skills and apply them to a soccer team. So here I am sitting in my Hamilton apartment as i just finished my smww hockey gm and scouting course I have decided to give up my hockey dream and begin my soccer manager team. After a poor past couple of seasons it was known in the media that the Guiseley FC has recently fired their Manager and has begun their search for their new manager in hopes to change the franchise around and build their club. As I look at the possible ideas to help change the club I would decide to fax my resume to the ownership of Guiseley FC and after a few interviews as a canadate for the manager position I got a few phone calls later to find out that out of all of the managers that they interviewed i was the best one for the job so now I have been named as the new Guiseley FC Team Manager.
The countries that have been selected are:
Denmark, England, France, Germany, Holland, Ireland, Italy, Northern Ireland, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Wales, Mexico, USA
With the first season we don’t have a transfer budget and we only have a payroll budget of 8.0k per week. We will be saving every bit of money to afford better staff to help improve our upcoming youth prospects.
