Re: AltLiga Season 2024-25
Another loss, this time to Bukchon Hanok Stripes, sees us falling down the table. We were hoping to be getting healthier, as we've been without star midfielders Bukayo Saka and Morgan Gibbs-White, but even with Saka returning, it doesn't look like Gibbs-White or defensemen Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven will be going this week. So we head to Mexico City for the first time, and look to right the ship. This week we're featuring young forward Keane Lewis-Potter, who has really stepped up with the injuries to play some good football. #TheGoldStandard

Re: AltLiga Season 2024-25
Wouldja look at that? All of a sudden, Atlético has built up to a 3-game winning streak, which is tied for the longest active streak in AltLiga. With one more win, we can even out our record at 5 wins and 5 losses. We'll look to accomplish that goal against Tokyo Sakura, who have scored the fewest points on the year and conceded the second-most. If we can keep playing like we have the past few weeks (and avoid playing like the first several weeks), we may well just climb into a playoff spot. One player that's rolling is ageless striker Jamie Vardy, who has scored in each of our last two and last week added two key passes, three clearances, and four aerials.

Re: AltLiga Season 2024-25
With the GEO Cup 2024 just 3 weeks away, it's time to reveal how that will work this season! It's quite simple, really. We will have only two groups of round robin action. Every team will get a bye at some point in the GEO Cup pool play, which will be 7 weeks. The winners of each group will face off in the 8th and final GEO Cup week, with the winner getting a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. The groups are as follows:
Group A (European Group)
1. VfV 1158 Munich
Amsterdam KVV
Atlético Barcelona
FC Alfa Roma
Inter Istanbul
Olympique de Bastille
St. Mungo FC
Group B (non-European Group)
Bukchon Hanok Stripes
CF Federal
Club de Ragatas do Independencia
Eye of the Sun FC
FC Tokyo Sakura
Joburg City 94
Sydney Harbour FC
The schedule will be loaded in to Fantrax soon. Please remember that these matches WILL NOT COUNT towards your record on the table, and only count towards the GEO Cup 2024.
Next, if you're so inclined, make a GEO Cup 2024 logo! The only requirements for the submission is that it must say GEO Cup and must include the year. It is held at last year's GEO Cup winner's stadium (that is still an active team) in Johannesburg, South Africa. The deadline for submissions is Sunday, November 15th at 11:59pm Eastern! We will then vote for the winning submission for this year's GEO Cup logo. Please email submissions on a transparent background to altlb.dc@gmail.com

Re: AltLiga Season 2024-25
love the idea of having a european division and a rest of the world division. one suggestion: instead of two teams being on a bye every week, could those teams play a friendly? wouldn't count toward anything, but it'd give us something to do

Re: AltLiga Season 2024-25
I don't have a problem with it, but I'd love to hear more input.

Re: AltLiga Season 2024-25
Idle thought for those potential friendlies, the people that are involved maybe play in a neutral site game? Maybe taking a city that once was a candidate for expansion? Or maybe using one of the other franchises' home grounds.
