Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I was going to start this on full fat FM but with it already being mid-September it may be best to try this on FMT. I've gotten bored of winning everything in the Cook Islands so I'm now starting unemployed in Singapore until I win everything that Singapore has to offer before moving on to Hong Kong since they're the next highest reputation league in the game. I'll have three countries loaded at a time until we reach the final 3 countries of Italy, England & Spain. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Young Lions Football Club (known as Garena Young Lions under a sponsorship deal with internet and mobile platform company Garena from the 2016 season) is a professional football team based in Singapore. The team is under the direct control of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS), but is managed as a football club and has competed in Singapore's top club competition – the Singapore Premier League – since 2003. The Young Lions are one of the few football clubs in the world which place an age restriction on team members while playing in a top-flight professional league. Most of the Singaporean members in the Young Lions squad also represent the country in under-23 international tournaments. The Young Lions play their league matches at the Jurong West Stadium. Their best S.League finish was third, which they achieved in 2004 and 2006. By entering the Young Lions into the S.League, the FAS hopes to expose young players to top-level competition, thus helping to prepare them for international tournaments such as the Southeast Asian Games. While the bulk of the Young Lions squad is made up of members of Singapore's national under-23 team, the club also takes in promising young foreign players (e.g. Luka Savić). However, foreign players are normally only recruited into the Young Lions squad if they could potentially change their nationality to Singaporean and be eligible to play international football for Singapore at some point in the future. Predicted to be at the bottom of the barrel and we're currently dead last so the only way is up! 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 June 2019 A mixed start but we've managed to beat the two teams below us away from home and that's temporarily taken us away from the foot of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 May 2020 We lost at home to Geylang which put them another point ahead of us, we do have a game in-hand though so hopefully they won't move too far ahead of us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 (edited) June 2020 Two more wins but we remain 4 points behind Geylang Int. It also looks like we don't qualify for the Singapore Cup as only 8 of the 9 league teams qualify so I may have to leave sooner rather than later.

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 July 2020 Two narrow wins but for the first time we've hit the top of the table! I did have a job offer from LC Sailors but they were wanting me to be on less money than I'm on with Young Lions, and with how well we're doing in the league I decided to reject their offer.

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 August 2020 Almost perfect with a late equaliser away to Geyland Int. and with three games left for us to play we're just a solitary point behind Geylang Int. with a game in hand.

MintyDisciple Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 The Young Lions cannot qualify for continental competitions due to the fact they exist primarily to develop the young players in the country, meanwhile Niigata Unicorn (Singapore) and DPMM are foreign teams in the league and so they won't qualify for continental competitions as well. You might have to change clubs to play continentally... 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted September 17, 2020 Author Share Posted September 17, 2020 Warriors Football Club is a Singaporean professional football club that last played in the Singapore Premier League, the top division of football in Singapore. Before they officially changed their name on 20 January 2013, they were previously known as the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club (SAFFC) since their establishment on 16 February 1996. Despite their name back then, membership of the Armed Forces was not a prerequisite for players representing the team, and several international players have played for them. Using a rhino as club mascot was their second suggestion after the S.League rejected their initial proposal of having a warrior as being out of line with the policy of clubs having animal mascots. Warriors F.C. is currently the most successful club in the history of the S.League, having won the title a record nine times: in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2014 and finishing second in 4 seasons: 1996, 1999, 2001, 2005 in the 22 years since the inception of the S.League. The Warriors was based in Jurong Stadium till 2000 before moving to their home ground Choa Chu Kang Stadium in 2001. In light of the preparation of the 2015 SEA Games, the Warriors had to vacate Choa Chu Kang Stadium and will instead play their home matches at the Woodlands Stadium for the 2015 season instead. Warriors will move to their Jurong East Stadium in 2019 season and shared with Albirex Niigata Singapore FC. The first team squad is miniscule.
