Well, I'm glad a lot of others are getting in on this challenge. I think it'd maybe be a good idea to make some sort of leaderboard for everyone participating, so we can keep track of everything better. I think just having the Username, national team, rank and year, should be enough. Then maybe have a second leaderboard for major trophies won... but you won't have to think about that for a while

Okay, I'm starting my new game, this time with a real team. I loaded all asian leagues, the A-league and the English league (down to conference level) and loaded all players from the listed Asian countries. My chosen team?
GUAM
The Guamean FA expect me to 'uphold the nation's honor' in ever match, so it sounds like I'm a shoe in for world cup qualification! Amazingly, I have 418 players to pick from, all who have no value, and no wage, as they are playing as amateurs. Luckily for me, about half of them are under the age of 20, meaning Guam will be around for a long time still!
Upon looking through the players, I've realised that Guam have been blessed with a truely abysmal team. I'm in for the long haul. I now understand why I'm ranked 203rd.
