Football Manager 2019 | FC Edmonton #1: Welcome To Canada

[@samuellarsson101]

When signing foreign players look for youngsters so you can develop them and they'll eventually become Canadian citizens

[@alameano]

Samuel L that was my thought too, I think it’s only 3 years before a player can become a citizen.

[@samuellarsson101]

alameano Well that’s good if that’s the case. When I sometimes load MLS Canada and US tend to get some decent Europeans to play for them in few years. These players, especially the new Canadians, makes a big difference since they don’t got that many players at their disposal. Also it doesn’t necessarily has to be Europeans, but at least players from big nations who isn’t likely to get called up for their respective native nation.

[@cesarvazquez8504]

What’s your skin or graphics that layout is very clean and useful. Also what graphics do you use

[@mattmeharg3337]

Yes finally!! Was hoping you would make one of these soon! I’m from Canada so really am looking forward to this!

[@valet20]

Soccer is becoming big in Canada

[@Scazer26]

@@valet20 soccer? It's called football 😂

[@gamewolf14]

Kareem Moses is a really cool person. He really engages with the fans and he's a all around awesome guy

[@jtyashiro1]

Hey Jack! Trinidadian, Tobagonian or Trinbagonian is totally fine! Keep up the great work!

[@andrewbrookes4144]

Bit of a boom in Canadian football atm. Alphonso Davies, Jonathan David, Ballou Tabla.. to name but a few, getting European moves. I've just moved to Montreal and the Impact are getting bigger here too! Good luck, Jack!

[@smothdude]

Man how crazy to see what happened with Davies. I played against him in Edmonton a ton of times, really cool to see him succeed but makes me feel a bit bad about myself haha

[@BrightonAndStatus]

Anthony's brother Jonathan Osorio has the most caps for TFC in their history (admittedly, not a long history)

[@GreatGameCenter]

I loved seeing Ajeej Sarkaria, he was the first ever player I signed in my first ever FM game... And every time he’s available I signed him

[@ranvir5576]

When FM20 comes, could you do a rise of a nation with the Indian Super League? According to AFC, it's the fastest developing football nation in Asia and the league has a lot of big names (Tim Cahill, Miku Fedor, Andre Bikey, Moudou Sougou, etc.) It is similar to Canada in the sense that the top division (the ISL) was only formed in 2014, and it had the 4th highest average attendance in all leagues (more than the Serie A) in the 2014-15 season. Many clubs also have affiliations with German and Spanish clubs. (the Kolkata team has an affiliation with Atletico Madrid, Chennai have an affiliation with Gladbach, the Bundesliga are looking to invest in the ISL, and Man City are rumored to try and invest in Mumbai City FC).

[@cullenmckay670]

Love the fact your doing a series based on the league. I'm a cavalry fc fan myself, and my boys are undefeated so far! The play is awesome and I can't wait to see where this league goes!

[@mattstanley8880]

Really looking forward to this jack. With Canada co-hosting the world cup in 2026. There will need a decent enough team to hopefully get as far as there can in real life. You can certainly raise the profile on the save mate . Good luck my friend 👍👍

[@paggioram]

Looking forward to this as it has the potential to be a important league in future.

[@kierdoyle]

For the record, you probably shouldn't develop a connection with Sigma. Sigma's academy director is the head coach of Forge FC, so they've got an unspoken relationship.

[@damianhills1533]

Love this already Jack! Please say you are going to give a chance to Prince Amanda? With a name like that he is meant to be!!!!!!!!

[@MacPhal1]

Yes! Thank you for doing a CPL save! I will be cheering for you until you play Halifax Wanderers :D

[@egotisticalorochimaru6561]

This play through seems very exciting, I will be watching keenly 😀😀

[@TheOlsen100]

I hope we’ll see another Joe Bouchard! Look forward to seeing youth development!

[@hiltibrant1976]

No FB/WBs? Not sure how this will work out in FMs match engine. It'll be interesting either way tho.

[@antiadam666]

Fun start. Cant wait for it to get properly flying. As a Newcastle fan I love you have an ameobi Haha

[@keironwilson]

as a trinibagonian i appreciate the effort lol keep the good stuff coming!!

[@pkm_1256]

No way!!! I am from Edmonton! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@realbaconlover6895]

Hello fellow albertan

[@NUFCSuraj]

I notice you picked up Dwayne De Rosario. He's a Canadian legend veteran right? I didn't see him in your squad, is he any good?

[@floppyboy8027]

Was hoping this was gonna be a live series tbh. Really love that format

[@Dutchintheheart]

Look out for Nathan Mavila who from South West London playing for Cavalry FC

[@mrXOwarrior]

Did you hire DDR (Canadian legend) as your assistant? Awesome!

[@nikolaandjelovic781]

You are doing great, keep up. Excited about the series. I know abou the skin, but its not the same like you are using. Can you upload from your pc version you are using. I would appreciate very much.

[@daviddsun9702]

York 9's stadium is just a few km from my home.

[@loganlogan360]

Didn't realize Canada had a new league... Starting up a save as Pacific FC, this will be interesting!

[@DannyHD37]

I played in League 1 Ontario lol

[@Tom-eq7eh]

Is their any way for new franchies to form or teams to move into the league??

[@WorkTheSpace]

Unfortunately not, it's possible for sure but it'd be complicated to get to work and wouldn't be faithful to the real league as it is right now. Long term plans really aren't set in stone for the league in real life although more teams are anticipated

[@tobyv6087]

What leagues can get new teams to join them (not relegation/promotion)

[@Tom-eq7eh]

@@WorkTheSpace is it possible for you to add in more teams as the seasons go on to flesh league out more? Maybe a montreal team.

[@WorkTheSpace]

@@Tom-eq7eh It's not possible once a save is started, to add in teams would take hundreds of hours of testing as things like adding teams can very easily break FM

[@ljf9997]

So excited for this series Jack! Are we going to get face-can for this series?

[@cubeddoubled1543]

Is there relegation or promotion in this league?

[@altpersonas]

Random question, but do you think you could play as a USA lower division team (maybe in one of those pro/rel databases) when FM 20 rolls around?

[@WorkTheSpace]

Probably not to be honest

[@joshuajean1220]

Yesss

[@ducnehc2234]

Can anyone tell me in details how you install the Canadian and American datapack Jack is using?

[@alameano]

Any chance you’ll be playing in the 60,000+ Commonwealth Stadium?

[@alessiogega6591]

I would like to see how you manage a national team and Canada seems like the perfect option

[@crazynumnums6096]

Is that the same Petrasso who was a perennial Lewes backup? :D

[@WorkTheSpace]

YES!

[@tobyv6087]

Hey Jack, could you please make it to where if you win the North America Champions League thing that you can get a spot for the European Champions League? It would make it a lot more interesting

[@johanssonaron2496]

how would that work when theyre not from europe

[@tobyv6087]

JohanssonAron 24 FM Editor?? It would make it a lot more interesting to see them make it to the top of the world

[@johanssonaron2496]

@@tobyv6087 Ya i get what you mean but that just kills the realism aspect of the series

[@noooxrain]

How did you manage to get so many green links (duos) before your first ever season game? They take a long while for me to develop

[@WorkTheSpace]

noxrain I played the same starting 11 for all my preseason friendlies

[@samshaw497]

you should sign Kyle Wootton

[@Priority76]

When is your 'dark' WTS skin getting released?

[@WorkTheSpace]

There's further improvements being made when they're done it'll eb released

[@Will-sl1iv]

Struggle to get into non-European saves but I'll give this a try

[@matiasfraire437]

You should try to build up American football too so that North America because a strong continent maybe even stronger than europe
