Cartagena fantasy league for FM21 // 10-tier structure

A little introduction

In a fantasy world, Carthage rises to conquer Gibraltar and colonize the empty Saharas. Today, its people find entertainment in football. Its rich cities have given birth to hundreds of football teams, but only 20 can play in the Liga Royale, with the others having to rise through the ranks of the 9 leagues to get a spot. The Champions League and Europa League welcome these new challengers that will have to get out of coefficient hell.

Project backstory

It all began in FM13, when I created my custom few teams that then became a 16-team top-tier league in El Salvador.

I then moved to FM16, where I wanted to bring my project as well, so I took it a bit further and created an 18-team league, each team with its authenticity, logo, rivalries and history.

When I moved to FM19, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do it all over again, but I couldn’t help it. I then stumbled upon u/notaquarterback’s post about his own fantasy league, which was much bigger - the Neloxia leagues. I said I’d use it as a base to add my own teams. But a few months and 40+ hours later in the editor, I created a completely new fantasy structure, with over 100 teams, over 100 stadiums, over 200 cities, kits, colors, players and staff.

The big 4:

- San Ramirez - the star of Cartagena. A rich, elegant and respected team, but not liked by many.
- Usulutàn - the blacks. Strong, solid and imposing. The main rivals of San Ramirez;
- Santa Ana Alzate - los rojos. A sleek, likable team that respects its Cartaginian origins;
- Delgado Sariñana - The smallest but the richest of the 4. While shaky at times, its ability to spend on big names poses a threat to the other three every year.

Keep an eye on Estudiantes, a team that fell into the 5th league, but is one of the fiercest in the country. They recently gained funding and they are looking to take their righteous spot in the Liga Royale.

- Liga Royale - 20 teams
- kits & colors: 100%
- stadiums: 100%

- stadiums: 100%
- managers: 100%

- La Quinta Division - 14 teams
- kits & colors: 100%
- stadiums: 100%
- names, cities: 100%

- Division 6 - 16 teams
- kits & colors: 100%
- stadiums: 100%
- names, cities: 100%

- Lower leagues (6 to 10) - the rest
- kits & colors: barely any
- stadiums: nope
- names, cities: 100%

I assigned real unemployed managers and staff to the first 2 leagues based on the team style, so it should be a very fun battle to play. I also added some free-agents to teams here and there.

It takes a hell lot of time to do team colors and kits to every team so if you are interested in the 7-10 leagues you won’t have much variation unfortunately :(.











Cups:
Copa Cartagena: Ligues 1 to 10
Supercup
Copa del Banca: L3 to L6
Copa del Salvador: L3 to L10
Inter League Cup: L7 to L10

Logos:
I created logos for most L1 teams (and some random others), but it takes a lot of time to make more. I highly encourage you to use them as they improve the experience, but keep in mind that some transfer updates might break them.

Others:
I highly recommend disabling "add players to playable teams" as it will ruin the experience.
The clubs all start empty! There are only a few players that I created to give the nation a homegrown boost, but otherwise, all the clubs will buy their players in the first seasons. This gives you the opportunity to build you squad from scratch.
Leave "do not add key staff" unchecked as most L2 and below teams don't have any staff.
A known bug sometimes doesn't show anything in the top calendar, I have no idea why.
You might still spot some 'Neloxia' stuff in the game, please let me know because I might have missed some stuff when editing over it.
