Simulating what would happen if players could only play for their local team- a thread.
This is a simulation of what would happen if players could only play for the team closest to where they were born. I’ve also made the manager of each team a manager who was born fairly locally.
I’ll start from the team that came last to the team in first place, showing their squad and best XI. If you have any questions about a particular player or manager then drop me a DM. File will also be available through @fmbase soon.
I’m also only doing the English Football League. No non-league teams and not doing abroad (That’s a bit too far, even for me)
BUT ANYWAY, ON WITH THE SHOW
92) Forest Green Rover
Points: 3
Their best player was a 17 year old winger with 2 positioning. It was always going to be a tough ask for Lee Collier's men. Not a starting XI filled with household names.

Barrow have a player you've heard of!! Nope, not that Ben Davies, the other one from Preston. Its still only enough to get Darren Edmonson's men five points. Talk about a one man team.

Don't be misled by the five stars. This is not a good team. Butroid, their best player, has made seven appearances for Scunthorpe in four years. Still, at least they've got more points than 2007/08 Derby... manager Neil Cox can be proud of his work

This team feels so Watford. A group of incredibly nice, maybe too nice, guys. Luke O'Nien and Harry Winks have both been on documentaries and felt like they were too nice for football. Like they should have been teachers idk

11) Liverpool
Points: 185
Manager: Steven Gerrard
I'm actually shocked they're this high up. Apart from TAA there is... nobody?? Can only assume that Gerrard has put himself in midfield.

10) Manchester United
Points: 188
Manager: Richie Wellens (who?)
Seriously, how did this team get 10th? I'm calling match fixing. They have a central midfield of Ravel Morrison and Danny Drinkwater. How has that worked.

9) Chelsea
Points: 188
Manager: Emma Hayes
A scary attack (for other teams), a scary defence (for Chelsea fans)... sounds familiar. Seriously though, that is such an unbalanced team

8) Manchester City
Points: 188
Manager: Dean Holden
OK something is definitely up. Manchester City managed to finish 8th without a goalkeeper. Although, there centre backs are so good maybe they just didn't let anyone shoot.

Manager: Jason Tindall
Yeah, the reputation has messed the big teams up. There is absolutely no way this team should finish 7th.

6) Tottenham Hotspur
Points: 199
Manager: Mark Warburton
Teams with a high reputation have clearly been messed up, so its a bit of a surprise that the same thing has happened to Spurs. Seriously though I actually quite like this team. Pretty well rounded.

Points: 199
Manager: Frank Lampard
Have any team done better than Leyton Orient? They now have Harry Kane, Reece James and Rhian Brewster. Its a shame about the manager but you can't have everything in life.

Crystal Palace claim the first Champions League spot! Aaron Wan Bissaka is back and Crystal Palace can enjoy European football for the first time since their one match European tour in 1988. Scenes.

Manager: Steve Bruce
The work rate in this team. My god. You know a team is good when Danny Graham has to sit on the bench. I dont know how theyre this far up the table but somehow they've done. Steve Bruce masterclass, as per usual

1) Millwall
Points: 217
Manager: Scott Parker
THE PRIDE OF LONDON. Scott Parker's men have blown the competition away to win the title. An attack which others could only dream of. What a team. Millwall F.C. you really need to invest more money into your youth recruitment.
