SFA UFFA Cup update

So I bet like me you were wondering how our teams did in the UFFA comps the best of the best, well wonder no further as I take you through a quick update on each of the teams so far this season.

Gold Cup

Panathinaikos RedieN were probably our best hope for success here as the reigning SFA champions and George did not let the SFA down in the initial leagues. Despite drawing the world No.3 team Cardiff Capitals in their group they still managed to qualify from the group in 2nd place with 13 pts. In their first knockout match they managed to defeat their opponents 1-0 in the away leg and are looking good to go through to the next round. Unfortunately it was not to be for Real Beziers and Atletico Sheppey as they were both unlucky not to qualify from the group stages, Michel only missed out by 1 pt, better luck next year guys!

Silver Cup

Jakswans and Macduff were both drawn in the same group as each other and in the head to head it was Macduff who came out on top with a win and a draw. Despite this setback Jak still managed to win their league with John only 2 points behind in third this was still good enough to see John progress with Jak to the knockout stages. Jakswans were given the easier draw against Silkes Boys while Macduff were drawn against the more formidable Montyschofield Utd, we await the results with interest. Unathletic Madrid had a good old battle in their league finally coming out on top on goal difference. The next round saw them drawn against Lucholandia FC who are a very strong team. The first match was a very close afair with Stewart winning 2-1 but could the away goal be the killer. The return leg saw a much weakened Unathletic Madrid side (no wanderley) and they could do nothing to stop Lucholandia winning comfortably 2-0 on the night and 3-2 on aggregrate. Our final team Manchester XTC were unfortunately not able to qualify from their group.

A final update will appear here at the end of the season.

Season 5

Hi Everyone
Season 5 has begun

All the senior comps have been started the youth comps will be kicked off Tuesday at 7pm so you have just under 2 days to decide weather to enter or not.

If you haven't noticed the Premiership & Championship Divisions have been extended to 21 teams each this season to accommodate 2 sides from the disbanded AFA fa, Normally when you change FA's you get allocated to the bottom tier but with this being forced upon them they have gone in at an higher level.Fremantle United have gone in at Premiership level & 3 Shredded Wheat have gone in at Championship level.

We also gained a number of new sides, some from other FA's others new to the gameworld, So welcome to them all.
We have 2 inter FA comps on the go (see mails sent out during today) & hope to get enough sides involved to get these underway asap

Wishing everyone Good luck for season 5


Cheers Nick

Unathletic Madrid Interview

Unathletic Madrid Managed by Stewart Malcolm

Are the first Team to win the SFA Premiership in Shearer.
There are only two teams to have played in every season of Division One of the SFA Active League and Madrid are on of those teams.
The team has been home to some big names one no other than former great Daniele De Rossi who was stunning in the Premiership winning team in Season 2 and off course Wanderley plays a pivotal role in the clubs fortunes.
In recent seasons Unathletic Madrid have been formidable opponents on the youth circuit rising to 13th in Youth World Rankings.
The Ally Macoist stadium has planned capacity of 27,000 home to a mainly hardcore support of 30,000.
The game describes the team as follows 'The side have been branded in recent times as a side with an extremely physical approach to the game. They battle hard and muscle the opposition off the ball and whilst this tactic isn't always the most beautiful to watch it ensures the side are not an opponent to be taken lightly.'
Onlookers were stunned when De Rossi was sold was it all part of a plot for world domination? We caught up with Stewart to find out his views on Fm Live and more importantly why was De Rossi sold!

First off your background did you play FM Live in Beta? No I didn't play in the beta but my friend did but being in the beta didn't seem to help him as I won the premiership and he was relegated to the bottom SFA league...needless to say he's not happy Impressions of Fm Live so far? It's been annoying, frustrating and painful but in some odd way great fun.

Whatever happens in Shearer and the SFA the most coveted title is the Premiership I guess you must be pretty proud to have won the first one? - Yeah I was shocked to win the first title as I thought I'd have been battling to avoid relegation I guess de rossi and wanderley just clicked it was a nervy finish as Jakswans and Inter Retirement chased me all the way, cheers for a great battle guys.

I was amazed when De Rossi was sold he was a Madrid legend in Shearer why did you sell him? - I sold de rossi for 2 reasons one his huge wages (62k) and secondly because anytime he got injured my team collapsed which basically showed I had a one man team and I wanted to get away from that. For a defensive midfielder he scored a ton of goals even scoring 5 in one game which most frontmen never achieve. I was sorry to let him go as he was dynamite but it was needed to allow me to rebuild the team. Who knows we may see him back in the premiership as the team that bought him are riding high in the championship.

On your profile page is says Wanderley is not for sale at any price, really any price? - Wanderley is my star youth find and is core to the team I am building, getting such a quality player for a sensible wage would be impossible in this day and age so yes he will never be for sale. Having said that he's not playing too well this season but I am trying out new formations so it's not surprising.

What are your long term aims in Shearer and who do you think will end up as Champions in Season Four and even Season Five! - My long term plan is to stay in the premiership and try and win a few more titles, maybe even a cup win and try and compete with the big boys in the gold cup. I'm also trying to break the stranglehold that Jak and Nick have on the youths atm so I have been working on my youth players. Despite the good start I've made to the season I still think Real Beziers are the team to beat so it will be interesting to see if they go on to win again or can somebody else (not me) stop them.
