If we were judging this purely on salary (which means little, I know) then Group A ranks 36th, 2nd, 6th and 4th whilst Group B have 16th, 8th, 5th and 38th. Ashanti Gold do have this guy though...

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 2037/38 Pre-Season 800th game to kick things off! With the competitions going on it's been a long pre-season but we got one over on Kaizer Chiefs by beating them in the Be The Coach match to win the first silverware of the season and now we'll face them in the Final of the MTN 8 Cup as well. We also breezed through the Champions League Group Stage. 3 South African clubs made the group stage and now 3 of the 4 Semi-Finalists are also South African sides, we face Club Africain. The board are only interested in 3 competitions which is good. I couldn't find anyone worth spending money on to improve the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 FC Dikhil, more commonly known as Dikhil, is a Djiboutian football club located in Dikhil, Djibouti. It currently plays in the Djibouti Premier League. Djibouti is the 146th biggest country in the world, between Macedonia and Belize (in size). They're also twinned with Littlehampton, which is a shocker. They've not exactly done great in recent years... And we have no staff either. Here's our Captain, Vice Captain and Key Player. Welcome to Djibouti. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 2038/39 Pre-Season Just the 2 friendlies, at home to the team predicted 12th in the Ethiopian Premier League and then a good win over the team predicted to finish 4th in our league. All we have to do is stay up, but there's only 18 league games so it'll be a close season. 4 in since we lost our captain and key player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 October 2038 A solid enough start with a win and 2 draws. Djibouti Telecom all but 5 times since the game started so they'll definitely look to pull ahead of Gendamerie in the table before long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 November 2038 Well I certainly didn't see that coming! 3 games and 3 wins and we're top of the league with the other promoted side SDVK being in 2nd and Djibouti Telecom being way down in 6th! We lost two players on transfer deadline day and managed to bring in one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 December 2038 2 more big wins and we hold on to first nut Arta / SIHD are ride on our tail and are only one goal behind us on goal difference and as we sit one game away from the half-way point it looks like a 2 horse race for the title.

Makoto Nakamura Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 January & February 2039 And then things came crashing down. Out in the 1st Round of the cup and 2 points from 9 in the league including a home defeat to the league leaders and we're now just 2 points ahead of Djibouti Telecom and have a slightly inferior goal difference. The transfer window is now open but the only player brought in was a backup AMC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
