A new world of football ..... Has Sepp Blatter gone to far this time ......??

I've done a number of career games and could not find anything to get me back into the bug of writing about it. Then I found this update.

FIFA World League v 3.4. The question was how to set it up to make it interesting and not to predictable and a good read.

It looks interesting and I am one season in just to test the format and make sure everything was ok and no bugs would crash my game after one season. I have decided after this to do a youth and experience blend and try to focus on home grown talent. Even though this is a world league the developer has kept a great focus on home talent for each team and their original nations. So basically English clubs develop English players and sign English players even though they are in a world league.

So here it is ......

I'll Start with the club. Then explain the details of the game

The game, add ons and challenge:

FIFA World League: Basically 8 tiers of the best clubs from ALL around the world. Here is the link. GO HERE. Looks very good and even down to tier 6 is very hard.

Add Ons: Kremmen's metallic logo pack. A must for any game i play lol. GO HERE if you want to down load the latest pack. Also Smart Shirt Designer. Also a must for cool kits GO HERE to download

I will list main navigation posts so you can easily track and look back over the career and post.

I am starting with a focus on youth and development but that may change depending on how hard this game is lol

Ok so a little about the game so far before i update my first season.

This is what awaits in the Word League Premier Division

Season 1 2014/15

As you can see there is no room for a bad season. 20 games in and some teams in real trouble. You'll see the final result soon

I can't go over each division but if you want to see a particular team or see how they are doing please ask.

I signed no one in the first season. Mainly because was trying a full YOUTH only career but it is insane. In my cup game preliminary round i played a team with David Trezeguet in it lol. I think the scale of this is to much for a full YOUTH career.

It is also great teams are signing there own nation players. Again I will update soon but teams are keeping their own identities within this save and not just merging into one insane mass of transfers and nationality mixes.

Lets see how we go....

Are Ipswich in there somewhere?

yes they are. I'm doing an update later so will post up where they are

I don't get the Sheffield United part.

Well the guy who made this challenge has taken all of the top teams from around the world and put them into a FIFA world league based in Singapore.

If i had know the Champions league and Euro cup were still running as background competitions I would have bumped teams up so the premier league etc were still full and able to run in background.

When you start the game the only league you can run is the Singapore league due to i assume all other leagues having errors in them due to clubs missing etc.

So basically it takes the highest remaining teams from each nation and auto fills the Champions league and Euro Cup with a load of them to continue them in the background as hard coded competitions.

As a result Sheffield United are now the biggest/richest club in England. I cannot view anything to do with premier league etc,just main Club details and European tournaments

Are Ipswich in there somewhere?

Regarding Ipswich Town they are some way down the table pyramid.

I appear to have posted wrong and I am indeed in level 8 of this system not level 7 as i have posted. Will edit later.

Anyway here is the table Ipswich are in

Yeah I'm gutted. Just found out if i'd looked a little more i could have re shuffled all the leagues and had them running in the background

Never mind. Still a good challenge though

I did also delve into the transfer market. Again looking for young talent.

My first signing was Ross Yobbi from the USA. Signed for £2,300,

Scored on his debut and settling in well. Picked up a slight knock but looking good for next season.

My second signing was Ade Sanni. 22yo signed for a free transfer. Taking time to settle but looks good.

This lad looks like my best capture though. 16 years old and doing excellent.

Seems to have slotted straight into the first team. Goals from the start. Could be an early legend

Meanwhile at the top......

Things are getting tough. Man Utd and AC Milan looking in trouble while Brazilian football is struggling at the top.

It does now appear we have a 4th competition. The Asian Champions League. With the top 4 from the Premier League going through it looks like it could be a nice addition to the game

And finally tonight ......

For those interested in the crazy side of things here are the Champions League and Euro Cup quarter finals lol

I have contacted the developer and I am going to see if i can fill the leagues then add them as view only maybe but will wait and see what he says

I love how messed up it all is

lol it's total Chaos

Manchester United are on there 3rd manager. Basically if you don't finish top four or win a cup in the premier league your sacked lol

They guy has told me how to open the database in the editor now so I am going to fill Premier League and championship so all English leagues are full and then see if i can run it in background for fun. I'll use the same concept as the developer so your place in leagues will be ranking appropriate

If that works i'll do all the leagues

Maybe would have been a better game if i had used non real players then all clubs may have had a more balanced nation setup from the start with all the league rules on foreigners. I do love the chaos though lol

I am sure it will settle down after 4-5 seasons. I just hope the AI clubs improve facilities so lesser nations become more competitive

If nothing else the top two divisions really highlight the difference in quality between Europe and South America. 5 out of 6 relegated teams are Brazilian...

OK not sure what's happened but my save at the end of last season does not appear to have worked so I am back to 23 games played (4 games left)

I am going to simulate to the end of the season and get to pre season again and onto next season ASAP. My club did nothing major and i hope to re sign the 4 spanish Barcelona released players again for next season.

I am gutted as Pau Sole had scored 2 in 2 in the new season.

I hate it when it does that

OK update done. One cup to go and European Championships

Unfortunately Manchester City have lost the league this time round and Juventus have regained the title so that's two on the trot for the Italian giants.

Both Milan clubs have now dropped out of the top division so Italy is struggling with this new league.

How are the aussie clubs doing.

Also you need to activate your windows bro

Regarding youth players I have made a decision not to "pay" for players any more.

I think the game is to hard/strong to do it on home grown alone at present so I have made a decision to build on FC Barcelona's release activity.

So from now forward my only signings will be at the end of the season when Barcelona release 5-10 19 year old's at the end of each season. These will all be free transfers and 'Spanish' nationalities. Basically I chose Barcelona as FC Andorra are a Catalan run club so fits with signing players only from our big neighbours.

I have drafted 7 players in. 4 have gone into first team and 3 into reserves and need some time to develop.

I will report on these 7 as the season progresses but this will be my only transfer activity now with Barcelona

I have sold 3 of my foreign players (non Andorran & Spanish) and I am now scouting the Barcelona U19 squad for next years release so I am ready for who to sign

Had to re post this due to game not saving

How are the aussie clubs doing.

Also you need to activate your windows bro

You'll have to give me some name Dev'o. I'll look around but don't know who they are really

sometimes you just don't get time lol. Going to upgrade to a new PC soon anyway with Windows 10

OK Dev'o

I've found 3

Melbourne City League 7 Group A

Sydney FC League 7 Group A

Melbourne Victory League 7 Group B

I'll do you a mid season update on how they are going. Any more names let me know and I will look them up

Seems like rather a dull league to be mid-table in.

yeah. starting to test my patience.

Bad results vs bottom teams has cost me dear. We beat the top team 2-0 at home

I am quite pleased bearing in mind we were Amateur in season 1. If i can keep my Barcelona players fit next season and add a couple more (dropping the poor ones) I should do well next season

And then we lose 4-3 to Junior Stars after being 2-3 up at half time

We

Drew 0-0 with Gendermerle

Drew 0-0 With Royal Leopards

Lost 1-2 with Moca

I'm starting to not be so nice lol

Things have gone a little crazy tonight

My biggest win so far. Throwing the Barcelona boys in now to see what they can do.

Goals Goals Goals tonight

Not sure what's going on but the fans are loving it lol

I'll report on Chimisso and my Barcelona boys in my end of season review

How are we looking for finances in this?

Is it the most reputable league in the world? Are the best players currently staying?

Its actually very surprising that the top most loyal players do not seem to be moving around a lot

Real Madrid have hardly signed anyone of their standard.

There seems to be a massive amount of re shuffling going on still as clubs come to terms with the 7 foreigners rule. It is settling down more though and clubs are spending again on big name stars but they are staying at their clubs in general.

Bayern Munich are also very active with transfers but again it is buying up a lot of German youngsters.

The Brazilian clubs are almost full of only Brazilian players which i guess is why they have taken a bit of an early hit on the relegation table.

The only thing I can't confirm is the developer had this as a complete stand alone league. So nothing in the background so i can't confirm fully that in other ways the league may become unstable. I have modded it a little and run some tests with the premier league restored and there seem to be no unusual dealings taking players away from the World League so it is a pretty stable setup.

For example

Ronaldo, Benzema and other Madrid players are still there even though Madrid have been pretty poor from the start.

Rooney & Co are all still at Man Utd

Manchester City's squad is all still in tact

And Messi, Neymar and Suarez are all still firing for Barcelona

Benteke is still at Aston Villa down in League 4 also so players are pretty loyal in general over all the leagues. It's not as you would think a crazy transfer merry go round.

However managers are not so fortunate lol most top teams change their manager on a seasonal basis purely because the board demands are so high. Even Palmeiras parted company with their manager and they got re promoted back to the big time. I am not looking forward to life at the top as the pressure seems immense

Looks like the battle of Britain has begun. Newcastle have taken to life at the top very well.

Seems very hard to stay at the top. Barcelona really struggling this season

Well i got desperate and threw him in at the deep end vs 26th in the table and he rose to the challenge . I think we have a star in the making

Quite simply irresistible lol at 15 he's showing everyone else up

On the plus side the next draft could be better as Barcelona have upgraded their facilities

Or worse, cause they will produce even better players and won't be releasing them.

Yay for Mexico winning the World Cup!

Or worse, cause they will produce even better players and won't be releasing them.

LOL that is a good point lets wait and see. If not I may have to start poaching

Yay for Mexico winning the World Cup!

I must admit the International stage seems a lot more open now the top clubs are limited to foreign players. Having said that players are becoming citizens of each club in about 4 years so the 7 foreigner rule will be a bit pointless in about 5 more seasons. I'll post up the Last 16 and QF of the world cup as it was a very open tournament.

Also having said that this new European International League system is kicking off now. 4 levels of groups. Andorra have quite a nice group so looking forward to seeing how that goes. Not sure if it is permanent or only temporary as not had it in a game before.

Yay for Mexico winning the World Cup!

As I said deltablue. Quite an interesting world of football now. A very nice mix of national teams in the last 16 with a few surprise results in the mix

Semi Finals looked like Germany might get Italy for a usual suspects final

However Mexico decided to spoil the party. I'm glad the edit is throwing a few changes to power in football. I hope as it settles down some Asian and Middle Eastern clubs will come to the top

This is the main worry i have about my mission lol

These are the last two season of promoted teams. As you can see they walk the league by some way. Dynamos Harare scored 84 goals and only just missed out on the title.

As you can see Dynamos Harare have yet to win only one league higher. All 3 teams are fighting for survival so I have quite a job on my hands.

The season before all 3 teams that went up came straight back down. As you can see it was by some margin also. 7pts. APR FC again very solid only managed 1 win in 38 games

I made a massive **** up though asking for a stadium increase this year. Not due for completion until 2020 that means no youth upgrades for 2 years. Very angry about that as i have impressive training and adequate youth as well as good youth recruitment now also.

The Asian Champions League also got completed with Barcelona winning it this year. End of season review updated as a result
