How the prem league would look if teams could only pick players from there city

[KURUPTION-81]

Looking at this makes you realise how poor the standard is, it is based on players from the top two leagues.

The Rules.

1) Clubs can only sign players from there approved catchment areas eg Manchester United - Greater Manchester, Liverpool - Mersyside , Newcastle - Tyne and Wear, Arsenal- Greater London and so on.

2) Players eligibility is determined either by where they were born or the area they spent most of there life before the age of 7.

3) Each team is allowed one foreigner to allow players from areas such as cornwall to have a club.

4) Listed next to there name is the club they currently play for.

This is how the teams would look

GREATER MANCHESTER

Andy Griffen (Newcastle)

Liverpool fail to even make a full team . Tranmere would have to look to the lower leagues for players.

The sheffield clubs are in dire straits, with only half a dozen local players of note in the top tiers of professional football. And one of those is Kevin Davis (sorry Rud)

[No Compute]

It makes you glad that there aren't any backward rules restricting foreign players from playing in the Premiership.

[KURUPTION-81]

Yeah, i have no issues with teams full of foreigners.

[Intriago33]
