Welcome to the Sweetpatch FTL Academy PC 2005 (FTL - FIFA Togga League), the league that uses casey's and laced up boots for all that love the game of togga (football) and would like to put their skills and maximise their FIFA experience into one of the UK's best and friendly PC league & cup academy's.

By joining us you will be meeting and playing against the best people all over the UK and be part of a great community where you the player will have your input in how you would like the game FIFA should be played and also interact with your opponents and hopefully meet new and interesting people along the way.

This Academy more importantly is about having fun and enjoying the leagues, cups and tourny's provided and hopefully make you a better FIFA player and hopefully put you forward to the UK or even world cyber FIFA champs which comes with a lot of good prizes and prestige.

Sweetpatch FTL Academy introduces a S.F.T.L.A. Player’s Patch, where all FIFA 2005 teams will be rated the same so you the player can choose any favourite team, which maybe not as the big as the Premiership or big European teams and still compete equally with them. So many lower division teams like Macclesfield, Stoke, Swindon can still make a name for themselves in SFTLA and hopefully show the big teams up which is all part of the fun.

Also our league will provide you with great features like designing your own team kits, so you can personalise and interact more with your team/club. Many more features like this are to come and you can have your say on our new forum by clicking here.

When FTL Met Sweetpatch

FTL Manager/League founder - Nigel Morrison (Nidge), founded and got the FIFA Togga League 2003 (FTL 2003) up running with the help of his brother Aubs and his mate Pimp from MSN Messenger. It was founded in April 2003 and had just the 1 league of 12 using the PC version of FIFA 2003. This then grow to 16 players and 2 divisions of 8 from all over the UK. The lads played there games and formed a solid but fun community and kept in touch through FTL - MSN Group and using MSN Messenger. They were great credit and still are to the FTL & SFTLA leagues.

Winty, one of lads who joined in the 1st season, was a great credit to the FTL by supporting the other lads with PC support and still played his games despite getting beat most weeks but had great humour bout it and hence was voted by the FTL community - Most Respected Player. Winty works with Dave Witts who is his boss and also Dave is the founder of the Sweetpatch website which has been going for over 4 years now and is seen worldwide. Dave Witts has always wanted to merge with a solid and reliable FIFA league and to work with. Hence Winty put forward the FTL to Dave and Sweetpatch and he took great interest and the two parties merged, providing webspace on his site and world wide coverage as well as support. The pics you see is where Nidge was invited down too Bude, Cornwall by Winty to meet Dave Witts.

Also added to the Sweetpatch FTL team was Nidge's good bud on MSN Messenger, who had been talking and playing FIFA for over a year is Kotp - Dave Edwards who joined the FTL also in the 2nd season and ended up winning the treble, but has vast FIFA experience and contacts by helping organise and playing in FIFA UK Cyber Games, which can lead to Euro and World Cyber Games. His ideas and experience is a great asset to the team and wanted to make Sweetpatch FTL into an academy and hold LAN tourny's and improve UK FIFA players and produce strong contenders for the likes of the Euro and World FIFA Cyber Games.

And there we have it - the Sweetpatch FTL Academy was formed.......
