After the discovery of the fantastic @Uncle_Sam 's Pro/Rel custom database I have been inspired to start a new game in North America. I think there's loads of potential for North America to become a world soccer superpower, and I think a lot of people want promotion and relegation to create a more competitive league pyramid. It would certainly make things much more interesting and I for one would be much more interested in the MLS etc. So - I've loaded the American, Canadian and Mexican leagues, and started unemployed with no badges or experience. I will accept the first job i'm offered - let's hope i get offered one..! The aim - work my way up through the divisions and try to see as much of this great part of the world as I can.

Hi, this will be My First Post on this forum. Only a Recent-ish player of FM as My first Full FM experience was on FM18. Regardless I hope that I can provide some entertainment with My Save. So I have been lurking around in this forum for some time now, without making an account and posting anything. I have enjoyed reading multiple saves that have been going around. Inspired by @ManUtd1 and @Makoto Nakamura's Saves with the Nearly Men both in the UEFA Champions League, and Europa League respectively, I have decided to do the Same with America's. Originally I was only planning to use South America and the Copa Libertadores but decided to add the CONCACAF Champions League to also include North America as well as South America. This mainly being as from 2015 Mexican Clubs do not participate in the Copa Libertadores anymore. In Regards to the CONCACAF Champions League, the Competition started out a New Era in 2008, with a Group Stage instead of the Old format with when the Teams were originally split into zones. I have decided to include the Teams that came runner-up in the old format in the save as Teams I'll complete the challenge with, just for more of a challenge, along with the teams from the format now too of course. I do believe IRL there is a new format that the Teams qualify by starting this 2018. So the Idea of this Save as You may have guessed so far is to Win The Copa Libertadores with the Clubs that have come runner-up before but never ended up reaching the end goal, I will then proceed to do the same for the CONCACAF Champions League with North America. Also as an extra added bonus down the Line is using International Teams as well for the Gold Cup and Copa America, this though probably won't happen until later in the save. Just to note the Only Runner-up never to win the Copa America is Mexico. I know IRL it is the 10 South American Countries + 2 others. In FM these are labeled as "B" teams. Not sure how it will work out with Mexico but if anyone does know then that would be very Appreciated. Also with the Gold Cup Brazil lost in a final when it wasn't limited to just CONCACAF Nations, but since then it has been only CONCACAF Nations so Brazil is now impossible to win that competition with. Not sure how often I'll be updating, just whenever I get chance too as FM Playing time can be limited due to RL, but I will do my Best. I have Loaded up all the Leagues I Need but can Add and Remove when Needed, I have all North + South American Leagues available to me with @claassen s wonderful update pack. I will finish off this first Post with All the Teams I Need to use to complete this challenge Documented below: Copa Libertadores Finalists: América (Colombia) - 1985, 1986, 1987, 1996 Barcelona (Ecuador) - 1990, 1998 Cobreloa (Chile) - 1981, 1982 Deportivo Cali (Colombia) - 1978, 1999 Independiente del Valle (Ecuador) - 2016 Nacional (Paraguay) - 2014 Newell's Old Boys (Argentina) - 1988, 1992 São Caetano (Brazil) - 2002 Sporting Cristal (Peru) - 1997 Universidad Católica (Chile) - 1993 Universitario (Peru) - 1972 Unión Española (Chile) -1975 CONCACAF Champions League Finalists: Broncos FC (Honduras) - 1980 FC Pinar del Río (Costa Rica) - 1989, 1990 Jong Colombia (Curaçao) - 1967, 1979 León - (Mexico) - 1993 Monarcas Morelia - (Mexico) - 2002, 2003 Montreal Impact - (MLS) - 2015 Police FC - (Trinidad and Tobago) - 1961 Real Salt Lake (USA) - 2011 Robinhood (Suriname) - 1976, 1977, 1982, 1983 Santos Laguna (Mexico) - 2012, 2013 Tigres UANL (Mexico) - 2016, 2017 Gold Cup: Costa Rica - 2002 Honduras -1991 Jamacia - 2015, 2017 Panama - 2005, 2013 Copa America: Mexico - 2001

Need of a lot of fixes for national teams competitions, 1) WORLD CUP FINAL TABLE ERROR World Cup final table (since round of 16) this is a programmation error. In the image, this is the correct table, with the red line, the wrong inversed schedule on the game to fix. This error make the game unrealistic infortunately. 2) HOST COUNTRY FOR SOME NATIONAL TEAM COMPS We want to look host country for Oceanian Cup, Copa America, Asian Nations Cup, North American GoldCup, and for the Nations League final 4 (semi finals and finals schedule) in the competition menu, like it's already done for World Cup for example (3th screenshot) 3) INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS HOST COUNTRIES ON THE GROUP A ! EURO Championship, Africa Nations Cup, Copa America, North American GoldCup: host country must be ON THE GROUP A ! For a more realistic gameplay. I don't have screenshot, but Cameroon hosts African Nations Cup 2019 and the draw can put them in a random group (can be the C, the B or other). But ecause they are host country they always must be on the group A for the 2019 edition (and Guinea always on the A for the 2023 edition) and not another group like is now posible actualy on the game. The EURO Championship have the same problem with host countries. Only World Cup have the correct and realistic group A schedule for that (I talked about this on the 1st point but the problem of World Cup is the final table schedule who is not realistic). The North American GoldCup, Copa America, Asian Nations Cup have the same problem too but in worst because they dont have host country. 4) PROBLEM WITH AFRICAN NATIONS CUP 2019 MODULO 4 (---> 2023, 2027, 2031 ETC...) WINNER CAN'T PLAY CONFEDERATIONS CUP 2 YEARS LATER Please fix too, African team for Confederations Cup must be the African Cup winner and not a substitute team. I suggest African Nations Cup must start on the middle of July and end on the middle of August for not interact with Confederations Cup. Because like you can watch on this 2 screenshoots, Algeria won African Cup of Nations 2019 but Cape-Verde is qualificated for substitute Algeria because Algeria plays African Cup of Nations 2021 and cannot play Confederations Cup in the same time. 5) Please fix Confederations Cup 2021, must be in the same country of the World Cup 2022 I dont have screenshot but in my database, Confederations Cup 2021 was in Qatar and World Cup 2022 in Australia. I would be more realistic if Australia hosts Confederations Cup 2021 and World Cup 2022. 6) RUSSIA AND UKRAINE UEFA POLICY Ukraine and Russia cant be on the same group because of political problems (UEFA Policy) 7) EURO 2024: WILL BE HOSTED BY GERMANY OR TURKEY CANDIDATE COUNTRY (OFFICIALY CONFIRMED BY UEFA) The EURO 2024 will take place in Germany or Turkey candidate country (officialy confirmed by UEFA who will choose host country in September 2018) but on the game we have Spain host country possible. It's not realistic and it must be fix. Thanks for reading ! If you have any other suggestions you can post it in commentaries.

If I were to make the Caribbean Club Championship in the pre-game editor, would I have to remake the North American Champions League?
