Sports Auckland 2024 A-League Team

We should see if we could get the Port to continue their support in the off season for the Warriors.

A league season goes right through to June so they’d have to pull double duty for half the season

Fair

Not gonna lie
I’m a bandwagon fan
If they were losing 0-6 no way any of us would be following…
However my interest in the sport has grown leaps and bounds since they started playing

I’m the same, watched the odd Phoenix game if I stumbled across it or a finals game etc. Watched the inaugural Auckland game and the derby’s but found myself checking out the minis also which is more attention than I’ve ever given the sport

Im not a soccer fan but was always interested in how Pheonix went. My interest in Auck FC has really piqued with the start they had had. Do they play an attractive style of football?

And most importantly, does anyone know if the latest football manager has Auckland FC? @mrblonde i think you play it right?

Edit - Auckland FC and womens leagues coming in FM 2025 due for release in March 2025.

The Pheonix definitely play the more attractive style of football. Auckland FC seem a bit better coached tactically and are scarping hard.
The A League most definitely deserves it's ranking of 52nd league in world football. The difference between the top 20 leagues and the A League is pretty stark.

The rivalry is so great for NZ though.

A league about English league one level. Not that bad really.

All Whites midfielder leaves Auckland FC, eight games into first season

The move is another twist in the midfielder’s colourful career.

I think they will fade away once other teams work out their structures, kinda already happened in the weekend with a 0:3 thrashing. Phoenix should be the one with potential to win it, but not helped by signing a couple of mid Japanese midfielders who get physically outmuscled in this league while not having elite silky skills of their national team counterpart.

Will certainly be tougher now that the blueprint to beating them is out there. But still a very strong side and will make top 4 easy.

Phoenix on the other hand are playing dreadfully and have no depth whatsoever. 2 of their imports are the worst 2 in the league (Ball and Oluwayemi).
