[FM21] Fortune Favours The Brave - Caley Braves (Scottish Lower League)

[steff91]

Hello folks and welcome to my first career thread of FM 21' and that is with a team actually quite local to myself,Caley Braves with mozza's incredible yearly Scottish lower league database,which is a fantastic piece of work every year it can be found below in the last section of this OP.. Personally i find playing at this level is very realistic and a good challenge as well,have seen some cracking saves based with clubs at this level

Last season Scottish clubs in the lower league voted to reconstruct the Scottish football pyramid and we now go down to tier 7 with a path up all the way to the SPFL,question is? Can it be accomplished

Now lets find a bit more about who Caley Braves are..

The club plays at the tiny Alliance Park which is based within Strathclyde Country Park in North Lanarkshire,a very basic ground as you can get indeed,with a capacity of only 500 (100 seats in these tiny two stands as seen),nicknamed the "Braves" From 2018 onwards, the senior team began to operate separately from the academy after launching a membership scheme, Our Football Club. In 2019 they were rebranded as Caledonian Braves and thats where there story began,a relatively new club as you can see,basic as it gets really.

Save direction is pretty simple,try my best to improve the stature of the club,grow them and just really have fun playing the save seeing how far i can go,nothing really serious,have a bit of banter along the way..

Lets get started then eh

Really the initial outlook is that the chairman wants us to be self sustainable at least which i personally think is manageable,

Media have us down for a 6th place finish,long as we can give a good account of ourselves thats all i ask of the lads..

FIRST TEAM SQUAD

Whole squad needs evaluated as its literally just been thrown together buy the looks of things,one player who does stand out though is Andy Dowie,a wealth of experience at Championship/League one level he could be invaluable for us even at the age of 37

FINANCES

Finances are pretty bleak,pretty much knew this would be the case when i started the save,its really a case of stopping folk in the street asking if they want a game with us
