- Going down under for a warm up career mode team guide preparing for FIFA 23! This is all filmed in FIFA 22, but 99% of it will also apply to FIFA 23, except some slight movement in team rankings.

Who to Use

Real Stadiums
None
Records to aim for
All time top scorer - Besart Berisha (Brisbane Roar, Melbourne Victory, Western United)
Most League wins - 5 (Sydney FC)
Most Cup wins - 3 (Adelaide United)
Most appearances - 358 (Andrew Durante)
League Rules
Within the squad, there can be a maximum of five "foreign" or "Visa" players, from outside Australia (and New Zealand, in the case of Wellington Phoenix)
Example - AS Roma can sign Phil Foden in season one. If they also want to sign Mo Salah, they’ll have to let one of their Non EU players, such as Tammy Abraham leave the club.
Each squad can have 26 players, including your 5 non Australian players. This means realistically you would eventually have a squad with 21 Australians and 5 players from anywhere else.
Signing Suggestions
Has been strong british influence on league historically
One of few countries Italian players go
Other Asian players like to go to Australia
Signing profile is similar to MLS, but with more of an Anglosphere focus.
Common stepping stone from other Asian leagues (China, Japan, New Zealand)
Fan Culture
Football isn't really a major sport in Australia, with Cricket and Aussie Rules both having more fervent support.
The most historic rivalry in Australia is between Sydney and Melbourne Victory, with the two largest cities in the country having a history of rivalry.
Melbourne Victory v Adelaide United is widely considered to be the biggest rivalry in Australia. The rivalry was sparked in the late 2000s with the clubs facing in the A League grand final in 2007 and 2009.
Beyond this, the Melbourne and Sydney derbies also exist, but there is no real strong fan culture in the A-League.

Australia is definitely up there as being one of the most underrated and I think it’s an incredibly exciting league. I’d argue Brazil is even more underrated as most people only follow the players that leave the league for Europe rather than actually following the league itself. You should consider doing a video on Brazil, however, sadly you’d probably have to download a mod in fifa as EA’s Brasileirao is in a very sad state
Thanks for doing a vid on our league. For any Man Utd fans, it seems almost certain that Luis Nani will be joining my club, Melbourne Victory for the next season so that may entice you to do a career mode with us. Also Cesc Fabregas is another rumoured signing that could be joining our league next season, current rumours state Macarthur FC.
Here are some other notes for anyone interested. Our league has a salary cap ($2.25 million), however right now you can have 2 marquee players (I believe one has to be Australian and the other can be foreign) and they don't count towards your salary cap. We also have 2 designated player spots where clubs can pay $300,000 - $600,000 to a player which is not counted toward the salary cap (2nd one was only introduced a couple days ago). So whilst the salary cap is meant to make the league equal, given these rules, the richer clubs, Victory, City and Sydney, tend to benefit more.
Rivalries:
Melbourne Derby: Melbourne Victory v Melbourne City (arguably the biggest rivalry right now)
Sydney Derby: Sydney FC v Western Sydney Wanderers (formerly the biggest rivalry)
Distance Derby: Perth Glory v Wellington Phoenix (more of a piss take than anything but still a fun one - 2 teams furthest away from each other)
F3 Derby: Central Coast v Newcastle Jets (The F3 is the former motorway that connected the two cities)
The Big Blue: Melbourne Victory v Sydney FC (2 biggest clubs in the big name cities)
The Original Rivalry: Melbourne Victory v Adelaide United (Vics and South Aussies absolutely hate each other and this is no exception)
The Battle of the Bridge: Melbourne Victory v Western United (not as big a rivalry as the ones mentioned above - The bridge mentioned is the West Gate Bridge which connects the CBD to Western Victoria where Western United are located)
Former Big Name Players who have played in our league:
Alessandro Del Piero: Sydney FC
Shinji Ono: Western Sydney
Alessandro Diamanti: Western United (still playing)
Daniel Sturridge: Perth Glory (spent more time injured than he did playing)
Emile Heskey: Newcastle Jets
Harry Kewell: Melbourne Victory and Melbourne City
Damian Duff: Melbourne City
David Villa: Melbourne City
Brett Emerton: Sydney FC
Craig Moore: Brisbane Roar
Tom Rogic: Central Coast and Melbourne Victory
Matt Ryan: Central Coast
Robbie Fowler: Nth Queensland and Perth Glory
Tim Cahill: Melbourne City
Dwight Yorke: Sydney FC
Feel free to leave any questions below/add on to what's been stated above
should have mentioned usain bolt played for central coast as well
Yo bro we got nani. I got my shirt signed when watching him play in a friendly against Pascoe vale fc
@@Oshurs sick as!!!! He'll smash it this season
@@VIGGERSJ yessir! Did u here that grimmer was approached by the 4th biggest Scottish team Hibbs? It was a lot ofm0ney but he still chose the Melbourne boys!
I really like the championship playoffs in the league. In the league, the intrigue never dies.

yes good knowledge of this league but the biggest rivallry in this league is called the F3 Derby
The F3 Derby is a rivalry between Central Coast Mariners and Newcastle Jets. It is the longest standing derby in the A-League Men. The rivalry originated due to the team's relative geographical proximity, with the Mariners located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, the Jets in Newcastle, immediately to the north. The distance between Newcastle and Central Coast is 65 km. The two clubs were also the only two clubs from outside capital cities in the inaugural A-League seasons, which contributed to the rivalry
It not the biggest at all omg
Most a league fans wouldn't say its the biggest. city vuck or sydney wsw is way bigger
Central coast v Sydney FC or wanderers could be considered a derby aswell
I think the Sydney Wanderers derby holds the record for most attended

I’ve got a few really good rivalries for you guys if you want it.
So, as you said Victory vs Sydney (The Big Blue) and Victory vs Adelaide (The original rivalry) are both very good (fun fact, we once beat Adelaide 6-0 in a grand final) but there are some other good ones too.
I reckon the biggest rivalry is the Melbourne Derby between Victory and City, these always spark controversy and good games. There’s also the distance derby between Perth and Wellington, known for how far you have to travel but still always a great game. There’s also the Sydney Derby between Sydney and Western Sydney, the F3 Derby (named after the former name of the freeway you had to cross to get there) between the Mariners and the Jets, and the battle of the bridge (west gate bridge) between Western United and Victory, just to name a few.
Distance derby is great hahahaha
Adam le Fondre is one of my favourite footballers of all time because of when he played at Bolton wanderers
Love starting in the A-League for my world tour career. Normally try go to a bigger league in AFC to win the Champions League in season 2.
Hobart United or a Tasmanian club would be good for an Australian create a club, i had alot of fun with that type of career mode.
Woolong Wolves (semi pro side in NSW you already mentioned), Canberra United (capital of Australia, without a pro club) or a second New Zealand team (most likely Auckland) are also places/clubs in the running for the A league expansion

Any chance you could do a guide to Poland or Romania mate? They so out of the conventional leagues but they also have some big boys to overcome and would be good to just have your take on them 😀 love how you do fifa exactly like me want to beat the big boys in the leagues
I did a career mode with Melbourne Victory on FIFA 21 and had tons of fun. Great video work.
Brisbane giants are not from new zealand, i live in brisbane and it's in australia however wellington phx are from nz

I've played in England a lot in FIFA 22, but I've always kept a scout in the Australian leagues and gotten some decent talent. I'll definitely try a save here next time. Good video!
3 Sydney clubs, Wollongongs rivals would be MacArthur Bulls
Wellington & New Zealand club and country is good
Before seeing this video I started a career in Australia brilliant timing!
Synchronicities my friend
I am from Central Coast and I did a youth only career mode with us as we have great youth development
Nah my man’s butchered Wollongong. It’s more like wool-in-gong
🇦🇺👏

One mistake sorry, the ffa cup is not in fifa
it's said like Wool an gong just letting you know
I love how people call Melbourne Mel-Born where it’s pronounced Mel-Ben
Dwight Yorke save incoming
nek minit the Mariners are champions in 2022/2023
XD
Second divison A-league coming soon too coming in 2023 maybe in FIFA by 2024
Fifa 23 is gonna be the last for so I don’t think it will be in the game
@@jadenbeattie3169 EA Sports FC 24 will be the same game just different name
@@KFR not necessarily lisceneses
@@jadenbeattie3169 FIFA didn’t really grant EA that much liscensing
@@jadenbeattie3169 Fifpro Liscene not FIFA
ive been to a wellington phoenix game and love this video
The fact he said the Sydney Derby had no fans 🤣
1st and only division just like the AFL
Are the play offs actually in fifa 23?
"MCG mainly used for cricket these days" bruh it's always been used for cricket.
Melbourne Victory are the biggest club in Australia. Biggest supporter base and the most revered.

@nurlanemirov5847 it's a very Australian concept to have a finals series (playoffs) and then the Grand Final. All our sports have them. Shows who is truly the best team.
@@anthonyfrancis45 Yes. This is very interesting.
It would be boring to watch
I have a question that the club won the championship play-offs and does it get the cup?
I have a fun idea for a create a club in Fifa 23 for anyone who has that I’m not sure if they still do this but in rugby a few teams from the island countries played in the Australian league so you could try that in fifa with a team from Fiji Tonga or Samoa it’s better if you have mods that you could use to scout players from there on the youth academy but it should still be fun
Craig noone also played for Bolton so he is cool
I made an Alice spring create a club carrer mode
yeah melbourne victory kind of bet melbourne city 3-0 irl so fifa is once again incorrect
Great video, but you gotta work on your Aussie pronunciations though mate!
My opinion Ekstraklasa
Thanks so much I am Australian can you pls do a video on Central Coast Mariners
Big up the Mariners they gonna win this season
@@bruh-wq5vh R U capping I can't tell?
I really like the championship playoffs in the league. In the league, the intrigue never dies. Who came up with this system is very well done!👍👀
Geo Vid always a W
This is a really awesome video, being someone who follows the A-League myself. Wanderers are an intresting option as a mid club as they won the Asian Champions League in 2014, which was their second year (and also the first Australian team to win the ACL) but since then, they've struggled with no finals apperance since 2017.
bro i live in wollongong and ive been waiting for a wollongong team in the a-league for over a decade now, watch us get snubbed again
ayy that'd be awesome, appologies for butchering the towns name so badly 😁
I love like video but as someone from Wollongong and who also PLAYS for the wollongong wolves u18's, thought you should know its pronounced like wool-on-gong :)
Yeah I'm from Wollongong too lmao when I heard that I was like what haha 😂
It's a fun league to play in, the play off format is great. The only annoying thing for me when I did one a few fifa's ago was the 5 subs on the bench situation.
4:41 Big omission from that statement was Australian Rules Football. Literally has multiple games played per week on it within the months of March and September
Ahhh i had no idea, thanks for sharing
It’s pronounced Melben
Ahh yeah appologies, i lived near the Derbyshire version for a few years that was pronounced how I said it 😁
When you gonna do a Serie A guide?
Sorry mate but 1:39 Brisbane is an Australian city.
He is talking about Wellington u clown
What camera is he using?
How do I qualify for AFC champions League in the game from a-league?
Nice video btw🚀
You have to qualify for it in your first season and then you’ll be in it in the second
Mariners should be mid table and have 64-70 rated players as we finished higher than Sydney and Wellington
When he said the hardest club I instantly thought of my beloved Perth Glory, only real talent is Rawlins, Sturridge already gone, Keogh retired and not much depth if not any.
@@Oliviben Agreed them or Roar
@@Oliviben I think Sydney should be a road to glory team in fifa next year
שכ
Great vid
MCG IS ALSO USED FOR AFL A LOT IF NOT MORE THAN CRICKET
