Makoto Nakamura Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Why Cook Islands? Cook Islands are the smallest nation population wise that can qualify for a continental competition, according to FM this is 19,470 but according to worldometers it's 17,564. My aim is to take to the team with the lowest reputation in the country, Titikaveka to the top of Cook Island football, then the top of Oceanic football and maybe even try the Club World Championship using a team of just players that have come through the youth academy. I have only loaded the Cook Islands league as well as loading every player in Oceania to see if that makes a difference in the continental competition, this still leaves me with a minuscule database size of 5,000 so seasons should fly by! Titikaveka F.C. is a Cook Islands football club located in Avarua, Cook Islands. It currently plays in Cook Islands Round Cup which is the name for its main football league competition, they have won 14 league titles from 1950 to 1984. The last time the club won the Cook Islands FA Cup was in 1984 when they beat Arorangi 6–1. They have achieved the Double three times in 1950, 1975 and 1984. Squad Key Players Yes, two of our best players are over 40. Reserves A third of our reserves are over 30 as well. Youth Team We get this through on my first day, which isn't promising. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 August 2019 I definitely wasn't expecting that start! Omai Tangapiri has scored in every game and has scored 8 goals this month! I'm using the same 4-3-3 that I used in my Zdenek save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 (edited) 2019 End of Season Review That didn't take long! We needed extra time against Avatiu but we've managed a league and cup double in the first season! Hopefully we'll be entered into next seasons Champions League! s Spoon Masters is back in management. That is a massive amount of money. We're like the opposite of Jimbo, I don't want our players to be booked, Brian Green managed to get 7 PoTM awards in just 18 games! 25 players and we used the least in the league. 2019 Best XI Peter Teina Porter Pokura - Metua Moetaua - Victor Teao - Mike Lewis (ResB) Brian Green (ResJ) Vaiola Tiere - Bill Tangapiri David Ngametua Daniel Taringa (ResL) Omai Tangapiri Edited September 3, 2020 by Makoto Nakamura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
