Hello, there is currently an important debate going on regarding how to manage the FM24 Data Update going forward, particularly in the case of modifying the ages and contract dates by 1 year. Please can you vote in the poll and join in the discussion.
I have loaded up all of the English speaking World that I have editor data for, with the exception of the UK and Ireland as they seemed to be frowned upon in this sort of challenge.
Africa: Cameroon Ghana Nigeria South Africa
Asia: Australia Hong Kong India Malaysia Phillapines Singapore
Europe: Malta
North America: Canada Jamaica Trinidad & Tobago USA
Oceania: New Zealand
I have no idea where to start in all that lot so I'm starting unemployed and seeing where the wind takes me. here's my profile;
Wish me luck, I'm certainly going to need it!

St Catherines Roma
Canada
Transfer: £0
Wage: £210pw (used £201)

Trinidad & Tobago Electric Company
Trinidad & Tobago
Transfer: £55k
Wage: £2.4k (Used £477)

Dolphin FC

Waitakere United
New Zealand

Northern Virginia Royals

Pro: Would allow me to get my foot in the door of American football/soccer.

Floriana FC
Malta

Name: Floriana FC
Nation: Malta
Nickname: The Greens
Founded: 1894
Ground: Independence Ground (Capacity: 3,000)
Yes, I have decided to begin my glorious career on the tiny Mediterranean island of Malta with Floriana FC. The Greens are one of the biggest sides on the island, having won the Maltese Premier League a staggering 25 times throughout their history, however their most recent success was almost twenty years ago in 1993. The Greens have lifted the Maltese national cup competition (U-Bet Trophy) recently after defeating bitter rivals Valetta in the 2011 final.
Floriana finished runners up to Valetta in last seasons Premier League which saw them qualify for this seasons Europa league, unfortunately they had already been eliminated by Croatian side Osijek when I took charge.
European prize money would have been nice but no matter, I have my sights set on the Europa Leagues big brother anyway. only the champions qualify for the Champions League here so my mission is clear. If APOEL Nicosia from Cyprus can reach the last eight of the CL in 2011/12, then so can we....with a bit of strengthening.
My squad contains a few familiar names among it's ranks, Tony Warner and Francis Jeffers (remember them?) are both former Premiership players, Carl Tremarco and Gary Roberts also both hail from England, they are on loan from Conference sides Macclesfield and Mansfield respectively. The chairman and several of the back room staff are also English so I shouldn't have any trouble adjusting here.
Franny will be leaving at the end of the season but he could be invaluble to us whilst we do have him.
The training facilities at the club aren't great and will need improving if we are to begin building a squad capable of transcending the national leagues and becoming a force in Europe. We should produce one or two decent youngsters with our youth set up though.
The strategy for this season is to try and make the best of what we've got, I don't want to go off and sign a bunch of players I know nothing about just to boost the squad, just to discover their money sucking leaches with no talent. I will be careful with our money for the first few years and look to put some funds into the piggy bank in order to mount an assault on Europe in the future.
