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.Pokaż ten wątek -
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)

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.pic.twitter.com/e6lNBIHX5e

91) Barrow A.F.C. Points: 5 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.pic.twitter.com/sICEcd8Oq5

90) Scunthorpe Points: 15 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 workpic.twitter.com/YqSXdGDIgY

89) Morecambe Points: 17 SCOTT MCTOMINAY F.C. Seriously though... even his work rate can't cover up for those red squares. Miracle worker John Coleman has his work cut out this timepic.twitter.com/hrOJDimDwz

88) Grimsby Points: 34 Nick Barmby's barmy army just about avoids the drop zone. Their best player, Oliver Sarkic, was once on the books at Leeds... but didn't play once. The one that got away.pic.twitter.com/wlSXOMBlYQ

87) Fleetwood Town F.C. Points: 34 Seriously these teams are absolute dross, and this is no exception. Where even is Fleetwood?? People who live there probably don't know. They now have Karl Robinson as manager though, which is nice.pic.twitter.com/ZY5uc3zHcJ

86) Burton Albion F.C. Points: 35 This is a bit more like it. Amari Bell from Blackburn, and two hot prospects that Derby fans will be familiar with. They also have Shaun Derry as manager. They still lost 70 games out of 91 though.pic.twitter.com/BKrmQUOZdp

85) Accrington Stanley Points: 36 Tbh, I'm amazed they won 8 games. Simon Wiles has worked wonders.pic.twitter.com/rtZqMmRIdO

84) Lincoln Points: 46 Manager: Chris Moyses I never thought there would be a one man team where Sam Clucas was that one man, but here we are.pic.twitter.com/l5aOqCBI3i

83) Rotherham Points: 56 Manager: Mark Cooper You're reading that right... one of the Longstaff brothers was born in Rotherham (according to Wikipedia). Also... theres been an awful lot of Northern teams so far...pic.twitter.com/zjSifOriQW

82) Oldham Points: 65 Manager: Mark Robins Ben Pearson, Ryan Kent, Jordan Rhodes, Will Buckley... thats a midfield and attack that would just miss out on the playoffs in the Championship. Shame about the rest of the team.pic.twitter.com/HNbM4Lav85

80) Peterborough Points: 74 Manager: Simon Rusk (who?) The biggest win for Peterborough this season was keeping Izzy Brown fit for all of it. Well done lads.pic.twitter.com/5u36gut0Rw

79) Blackpool Points: 76 Manager: Chris Beech We're starting to get teams that don't just have to shoehorn in random 17 year olds now. Still, Blackpool are far too reliant on Tom Barkhuizen.pic.twitter.com/KJQfqKXWRo

78) QPR Points: 80 Manager: Stuart Pearce QPR fans can count themselves unlucky here. Considering how close they are to Central London I really dont know how they find themselves stuck with literally just Josh Murphy. You guys really don't want to know what your rivals havepic.twitter.com/mbScetFuPK

75) Newport County Points: 84 Manager: Tony Pulis This is actually the perfect Pulis team. Not heard of a single one of them, a combined flair of about 10 but you can be sure they'll run their hearts out for 90 minutes. No one has a good long throw, sadly.pic.twitter.com/QQnIxsYQHi

73) Burnley! Points: 87 Manager: Adrian Boothroyd The first big shock! Harvey Barnes and Co were predicted to come 39th but finish all the way down in 73rd. Well, its not actually a shock when you see they don't have a goalkeeper.pic.twitter.com/eI0prHJ6in

72) Blackburn Rovers Points: 93 Manager: Gareth Ainsworth Blackburn are wild. There best player is a Greek international who's never played in the U.K. Clearly he was born here, saw Blackburn and decided to make a run for it.pic.twitter.com/4KSBZMhw0W

71) Cheltenham Points: 94 Manager: Steve Cotterill Another team that I feel should have finished a bit higher. Can only assume Eric Dier was in the toilet for a large part of the season.pic.twitter.com/5SdyWMjAsS

69) MK Dons Points: 99 Manager: Garry Monk I cant explain why but Garry Monk fits MK Don's unbelievably well. Dele Alli and Ben Chilwell is also a lovely link up- but they can't do enough to get the team above 69th.pic.twitter.com/dbPG49mxPS
