It doesn't necessarily have to be created teams! It could be teams who plays in the Isthmian League or something like that, they don't have any original players, just regens, but what you could do to sort this out, is untick add players to playable teams, then they would start with no teams. Suggestions for teams to start with South Shields, there a team round the Newcastle area, so it could be a long term mission, to make them better than Newcastle. And for the South you could use Canvey Island, a team from the Essex area.
