Hello, guys!

 

My name is Victor, AKA as Vigia, I'm a graphic designer from Limeira, Brazil.

 

Here in my city, we have dozens of amateur clubs, and taking them as a “base”, I created a full universe in FM 2024, here it is: Liméria.

 

 

  • Those 149 teams are set into 5 division levels (6 with the school games, but in the last, there's no promotion).
  • From those 149, 121 are professional and fights for promotion or relegation, but the teams from school games are playable too.

 

Those 5 levels are distributed like this:

 

DIVISIONS

 

1st level

Liga Limeria North (18 teams, the last is relegated and the first is the champion).

Liga Limeria South (18 teams, the last is relegated and the first is the champion).

Liga Limeria East (18 teams, the last is relegated and the first is the champion).

Liga Limeria West (18 teams, the last is relegated and the first is the champion).

Liga Limeria Finals (The winners from each division of the first level goes to this championship at the end).

 

2nd level

Liga dos Bandeirantes

16 teams, the top 4 are promoted to the top tier and the bottom 3 are relegated to the 3rd level.

 

3rd level

Liga Gazeta

12 teams, top 2 is directly promoted and there's a two-legged play-off from the 3rd to 6th placed teams. The bottom 2 are relegated to the 4th tier.

 

4th level

Liga Gazeta - 2nd division

Last level with relegation. 12 teams too, but only the champion is promoted, a two-legged play-off takes place from the 2nd to 5th placed teams in the league stage. The bottom 2 are relegated to the 5th tier.

 

5th level

Liga Desportiva

Last level with promotion. 14 teams, the champion gets promoted and again a two-legged play-off from the 2nd to 5th placed teams in the league stage.

 

6th level

Jogos Escolares (School Games)

The last level. No promotion. Semi-profissional teams with the age gap of 18 years old. All matches are neutral and played in the same stadium.

27 teams in a league stage with 1 leg only, top 4 goes to the quarter-finals and 5th to 12th goes to play-offs to advance to the quarter-finals.

 

ETHNICITIES AND PEOPLES

Ok, in this part we enter in another universe.

The continent: Limeria. All takes part in it.

8 countries with their own ethny, inspired in real ethnies obviously. The flag at their sides represents the ethny/people/country inspired. The names in parentesis are their names in brazilian portuguese.

 

🇧🇷 Altília

Brazilians/portuguese

This represents the basis and the biggest part of the database, most than 80% of the people in the database are from here.

 

🇸🇦 Bahriya (Baria)

Arabs

 

🇬🇧 Cyningston (Cínista)

Anglo-Saxons

 

🇪🇸 Eguzkiara (Egusquía)

Basque and Spanish peoples

 

🇮🇹 Rocselia (Rocélia)

Italian and French peoples

 

🇪🇹 Betemari (Betemira)

Ethiopian and African peoples

 

🇧🇾 Plodavija (Pladóvia)

Balkan and Russian peoples

 

🇯🇵 Kamizata (Camizato)

Japanese-Chinese peoples

 

And still in the countries conversation…

CUPS

Copa dos Campeões da Liméria

The Champions League look-a-like. Or the copy. Call it what you want. And in the old format. 8 groups with 4 teams each. Top 2 of the groups goes to the knockout stage. You already know how it works, bro.

But familiarities begin to appear...

 

Qualification format
  • 32 teams
  • 5 top teams from each division from the top tier

Wait, there's not 4 divisions only in the top tier? 5x4 = 20.

Hold on. This whole universe is a little mess.

  • Each country has its own quota of clubs for this competition. If this club for another country qualifies through the league, the spot goes to the next team in the league. That's the teams from the countries listed up above. The only difference is the French/Italian are separated. Because there's a lot of them in here.

 

Copa Liméria

The Europa League look-a-like. And is not just a look-a-like. All the graphics, sounds and etc. are from the original UEFA competitions. This wasn't even a lack of creativity, FM is a bit "limited" for editing graphics, so I stole the UEFA competitions. Who knows, maybe in the future I'll be able to create them from scratch. For now I'll keep stealing.

4 groups with 4 teams each. Top 2 of the groups goes to the knockout stage, being against the 3rd placed teams from Copa dos Campeões. 8 teams qualified from the group stage + 8 from Copa dos Campeões.

This and the other competition only happens from the second year of the game. So don't get mad if you ended up in 3rd in Copa dos Campeões in the first season and doesn't has a cup to play.

 

Qualification format
  • 16 teams
  • 2 top teams from each division of the top tier who aren't in Copa dos Campeões
  • Each country has their own quota

 

Copa das Conferências da Liméria

The Conference League look-a-like. Ok, in this one I didn't even try to come up with a creative name, but, patience is the key, friends... 😭

This competition has aims to strengthen clubs from other countries that aren't Altília, so much so that you will notice that they are the majority here.

Almost the same style of Copa Liméria. 4 groups with 4 teams each. But is a top 3 that goes to the knockout stage against the 3rd placed teams from Copa Liméria. 12 teams qualified from group stage + 4 from Copa Liméria.

 

Qualification format
  • 16 teams
  • 1 top team from each division of the top tier who aren't in Copa dos Campeões or Copa Liméria
  • Each country has their own quota, but they are the great part of this competition.

 

Supercopa Liméria

Ok, here I put my face out there and tried to be creative. But it ended up looking like a Club World Cup.

Pure knockout stage, with the champions from all professional competitions on this universe.

 

Qualification format
  • Copa dos Campeões winner
  • Copa Liméria winner
  • Copa das Conferências winner
  • Liga Liméria Finals winner
  • Copa Domingo winner
  • Copa da Democracia winner
  • A representant from the host nation (yeah, I doesn't have a big creativity, sorry guys)
  • Copa dos Campeões Final loser

 

Copa Domingo

They need a minor cup where even school teams participate. Pure knockout stage, just one leg. 134 FKNG TEAMS. Just try to win this one with the school games teams. A good challenge 😎

 

Copa da Democracia

The EFL Trophy of this nonsense. I don't need to say again that I have no creativity in this. Only clubs from the 3rd tier and below. 64 teams. It's a easier challenge.

 

Copa dos Pires

A U20 cup. You can't control/play, but it's funny to watch and to send a scout. 134 teams too, but the professionals uses their U20 teams, obviously. And there's a group phase. This cup is still in tests of calendar!

 

Copa do Mundo/World Cup

Yeah, the countries has their own World Cup. Let's enjoy the national teams on FM while we can. Two groups of 4 teams each, the two best placed go through to the semis. And it happens every 4 years too. Creativity be damned.

 

GRAPHICS

This is still a WIP.. At the moment you guys can download and play with all logos and flags, and player faces, but some staff doesnt has faces yet.

Here's some screenshots of the work:
