[FM2016] Rule Britannia - British League System (8 levels)


Recommended Posts

Background

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have different League Systems now with welsh teams playing in England, english teams playing in Scotland and Wales, Derry City from Northern Ireland, playing in the irish league system. Now all the systems are combined and the United Kingdom will have one system where all the clubs compete for the same league title. The domestic cups remains (League Cup is changed into the English Cup) with for example Swansea and Cardiff playing in the Welsh Cup and Berwick and T.N.S. will play for the English Cup.

League System

UK Premier League - Level 1

Is untouched, all the 20 clubs remain in the Kingdom's highest division. 19 english clubs and 1 clubs from Wales

UK Football Leagues - Level 2-4

Looks exactly like today in its structure. 24 clubs in each of Championship, League 1 and League 2. UK Championship consists of 20 english clubs and 3 scottish (Aberdeen, Celtic, Dundee Utd) and one welsh team. League 1 consists of 17 enligsh clubs and 7 scottish clubs as well as do League 2 in its first season.

UK Conference - Level 5-7

The Conference system is a bit different from today. Conference Premier is the last division covering the whole realm. In this division are the 3 top clubs from Northern Ireland (Cliftonville, Derry City and Linfield) one from the welsh league system, T.N.S. Level 6 consist of Conference North and South. This is the first level with clubs from all four nations within the UK. Level 7 is the last Conefernce tier divided into three regional divisions, Northern, Central and Southern.

National Premier Leagues - Level 8

Consists of 6 divisions. 3 english divisions also divided into North, Central and South, and an all Irish, Scottish and Welsh League. 22 teams in each division.

Cups

FA Cup

Looks exactly like todays cup with clubs from all four of the nations.

Domestic Cups

England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have a seperate cup with the finals set on each of their national stadium. The cup starts in august and all four finals take place during a weekend at the end of februari/early march.

FA Trophy and Johnstone's Trophy

Remains as lower league cups in its traditional form.

Europe as four different nations

Even though the UK now only have one league system. The qualification for Europe still remain as it looks today. The four best english teams will qualify for different stages in the Champions League, the best welsh club (which means that whoever finish ahead between Cardiff and Swansea will get their chance to qulaify for the Champions League until any other welsh team will climb up to the same level but that could be a while with the next team to be found in Level 6. The best scottish team in the league system (The first season one of the five teams in the Championship) and the best team from Northern Ireland (Cliftonville, Derry, Glentoran or Linfield in the first season being the only three clubs competing from Northern Ireland in Conference Premier) The domestic cup guarentee a qualification spot in the Europa League while league finishes and the FA Cup will be the decider for the remaining spots.

At last

When playing this file, pick England and the levels of your choise, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales are all unplayable. Ireland is working with one team replacing Derry City in the highest division. If you would find any bugs or misses, please inform me in the thread or notification. Ireland is working with one team replacing Derry City in the highest division.

Sounds fantastic mate. I'll download it and run it through the editor tonight - I like to check the club reps are consistent.

edit: yes, looks great. The lower league Welsh sides look like they'll yo-yo and never compete with English counterparts, but maybe that's realistic.

I'm immersed in a lower league save, but when I'm done I'll start again with your file :thup:

Thanks!

The bad welsh teams got pretty bad rep som maybe that's why the yo-yo but they should have the same possibilities as the other nations lower league teams.

Hey, thanks for creating something quite different, but is the european qualification working properly? After the first season it seems that it was just Swansea that got its spot properly. Cardiff won the Welsh cup but didn't get europa league. Same with Rangers for Scotland and Bournemouth for England. The same non english teams got the europa spots for the second season as for the first apart from Swansea<->TNS. Also for some reason all non english teams got the tv money from PL so they got insanely rich. :)

Okey, that's really weird. Espacially with the TV-money haven't touched that part at all.

I've tried and Champions League spots works correctly for Welsh, Scotland and England but Crusaders ar ending up getting the CL spot for NI the first seasons which is wrong. Also the cup's not working as it should. I'll try to figure this out.

I can't find the issue with the TV-money? I've been on holiday a few years and the Premier Leagues clubs get the TV-money and the lower league teams do not so I don't really know what happened with your save.

About the european spots. After some years it started working correctly and I can't find the reason why it doesn't the first couple of years. If anyone could see why I'd be grateful for any help.

I have some ideas for the domestic cups which you may or may not like.

Teams should be only allowed to play players from their country (i dont know if thats possible in the editor, if not then just from any of the home countries) the winner of the cups qualify for a super cup and that cup can grant a europa league spot perhaps.

I did this for a czechoslovakian league and found it pretty interesting. also tried doing All Star teams for each of the countries but i couldnt get it to work.

Shame this seems to have gone stale? It's a brilliant idea, and maybe would be great to have the option for all the clubs to ONLY be able to sign British players (if that is possible). I think if it's limited to just the country as suggest mid-thread then it will be way too hard for the Welsh/Scottish/Irish clubs.
