Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 (edited) Welcome to the ultimate test of youth, at best it's 21 seasons of back-to-back promotions before we hit the top. Due to the amount of leagues I have only loaded Northern Ireland as playable but all of England, France, Germany, Italy & Spain as view-only but with all players from top division clubs in Europe loaded.

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 (edited) Now, as for why I want to do youth only in Northern Ireland. Win the Champions League? Yea that would be great but my aim is to topple Linfield. Linfield are the club with the most titles and silverware in Europe and I want to slowly catch up to them!

Can't get any lower. 2 hours ago, vara said: sounds hilariously chaotic. how fitting for you! Thanks vara! I may have to start over once I finish work, played the first two league matches and it seems that the league has no sorting rules other than alphabetical order since we're in 2nd with 6 points and a goal difference of +12 whilst league leaders, Agape B, have 6 points and a goal difference of +5.

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 I will be starting over, just going through the editor file and tiers 9-22 have no sorting rules so I'll add them in. I want to try and stay with Village FC since they actually have a small social media presence. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 (edited) Turns out Hightown Athletic do as well. This time we have just five players, nd Chris Buchanan might just be the worst goalkeeper I've ever seen! Edited April 25 by Makoto Nakamura Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 2022/23 Pre-Season I don't think we'll be keeping many clean sheets but I'm happy with how pre-season went with us going through in two cups.

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 November 2022 Another big win in the league over struggling Glenavy II but our final cup run comes to an end as we lose out to 8th tier side Derrychara Utd which tells me that once we start getting promoted there shouldn't be much stopping us!

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 (edited) 2022/23 Youth Candidates Okay, this is actually a really good intake! But let's see what we have here. Dan is immediately the best goalkeeper, not that that was going to be difficult. Before this only one of the four players had an average of above 27 so this is definitely a good starting point.

Well the Belfast League does feed into the Down Area league when they should be along side each other so that would take it down to 20 tiers but other than that, it appears to be that way! Our route to the top should be Belfast & District Division 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, NDAFL McCalls Division 2, 1, Premier, DAWFL Division 2, 1, Premier, NAFL Division 2C, 2B, 2A, 1C, 1B, 1A, Premier, Lough41 Premier Intermediate League, Lough41 Championship and finally Danske Bank Premiership. 5 hours ago, vara said: ahhh the chaos! top work mate, very entertaining to follow Thanks Vara!

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 November 2023 Just the one league game this month, losing to 3rd placed Carnmoney who also started in the 22nd tier and it pushes Kilwee ahead of us whilst we're also through in the County Antrim Junior Shield where we'll face Albion Star in the next round, they play in the Belfast & District League Division One, three tiers above us.

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 December 2023 Back-to-back 3-1 away defeats in the cup which is a bit disappointing since Ballysillan II are in the division below us but now we can focus on the league where we're now five points inside the promotion zone.

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 2023/24 Youth Candidates It looks pretty good again with the goalkeeper looking to be the worst prospect. It turns out with most of the positions in the spreadsheet I had the attributes in the wrong order, so here's how it was before: And here is how it is now that I think I have it right: It turns out that Kirstofer whilst looking rubbish, would actually be our best goalkeeper. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 2024/25 Pre-Season Another good pre-season and through in both cups, I think Macosquin play in the 13th tier so that's a good scalp for us with two late goals from Shay Morrisroe!
