Real Players - Soccer fans - Big League

[Bristolduke]

I have seen inquiries about soccer themed leagues, but they don't seem to take off, so I thought I'd try a different approach. Since the concept of a Super League has been brought up to UEFA, this is an attempt to create a variant.

I took the teams top 6 teams with respect to # of titles in each of the five major leagues and made them divisions. Added 6 other European sides for the 6th division. Grouped them into 2 leagues (there is a 100 years war sub theme in the grouping). Added their real stadiums and capacity.

Look to use real players starting in 1871 and move forward (I'll entertain a randomiztion if the majority would prefer). I will set the financials to a constant.

If there is enough interst, I will run the league, although it would help if there were a couple of "helpers" as well.

Sim schedule is still open, but would probably be 7 days a sim.

Contact me via e-mail if you are interested. First come first serve on the teams.

One of the ways to approach this league is to have a group of 6 close, fierce friends and take an entire division (e.g. Bundesliga). Then you have the close interactions of your friends combined to rivalry across tribes (to use a Survivor term).

Grab six and let me know which division you want!
