Welcome to the land of salary caps and DPs

MLS is a strange beast. It is as different from the normal European leagues as possible. It’s not even football. We play a game called sucker. Alright, it’s soccer but still.

So, I thought about starting a game with an MLS team just to see how different it can be.

So, ladies and gentlemen, here is the beginning of my new adventures with the team having best fans in whole North America. And the team is:

TORONTO FC or TFC as we call it in the city of Toronto.

My initial aim is to get Toronto into the playoffs in the first season.
The best thing I like about MLS is that you can finish 8th out of 13 teams and still win the league. Didn’t I say MLS was a strange beast.

Let me tell you about myself. I am an engineering student. So, sometimes you may get long delays in between the posts. Please try to bear with that. I am an out and out fan of TFC and the red team of the city of Manchester. The only team i have ever managed in FM is United. In that sense, managing resource deprived Toronto is like sending a rich child to live in a slum and taking all his toys away.

Plus, there is this stupid salary cap. They pay less money to the whole team in a year than Christiano Ronaldo earns in ten weeks. And no, you can’t increase it even if you somehow get Bill gates as your owner as this is how the league works.

So, stay tuned to see how all this pans out.
