Episode Concept

AMERICA’S TEAM FC

ATFC is a high concept reality show that involves replacing the current players of a Scottish Soccer team and replacing them with amateur and semi-pro American players.

The Americans will have the chance to turn around a team renowned for being the worst team in Europe - and perhaps all of professional soccer. In their journey to take the team from worst to first - viewers will be glued to the drama, intense action, and suspense that will be created as the players

invade the Scottish Highlands - all of this set in a town and stadium that has been cited by the BBC as the most scenic in the UK. The show will feature the personality clashes, heated rivalries, relationships and alliances, team conflicts, torrid romances, and ultimately the unity built between the players and their adopted hometown.

place there is in the UK -

one that is often hostile

to American players.

The Roster

Handsome & DynamicThe program will attract a

strong young female audience, as well as “soccer moms.” They will be attracted to their

personalities, their stories and interactions with each other and the

“episodic” drama that will unfold as they interact with the locals - and relationships start - break apart - etc. Men will watch because of the rugged competition, the energy, pace -

confrontations and conflicts, the caustic relationships between US players and Scottish coaches, budding rivalries with “villains” from other teams, and best of all - chance to participate in the action,

with the the thrill of turning a losing franchise around - and like the world of fantasy sports - they can pick the starting team and choose the strategy.

A reality series with unlimited marketing potential and possibilities! Americans spend 1.5 Billion dollars on fantasy sports, and ATFC gives viewers the opportunity to turn the fantasy into

reality - and interact with the series and pick the starting lineup, strategy and tactics

Easy to Replicate!

America’s Team FC is a cross-cultural show that will work for many countriesThe show as it is created would be popular in the U.S. - and in the U.K. It also employs a model that can be easily replicated and transferred to other countries/markets - especially with the continued popularity of soccer throughout the world (Europe, Latin America) - and the sport’s massive rise in the growing television markets of the Far East (China, Japan, Korea, etc.)

The Formula for Recruiting: the team will be comprised of 16 Americans from

cities all across the country - so that we can saturate major DMA’s with heroes that they can rally around. It is vital to represent different backgrounds, ethnicities, and socio-economic status. A vibrant - and sometimes eccentric personality is as critical as athletic skill.

We are recruiting “a wonder kid” (a David Archuleta type), five or so “Abercrombie and Fitch” sexy, athletic superstar types (such as Max Cream featured on page 1), a few All-American, clean cut college boys, a “comeback kid” who has retired, was injured, or otherwise given up (aka Disney’s “The Rookie)” a few hunky “Ty Pennington” types that are established, more late-20’s mature and camera friendly (see Caleb Norkus below) and vital to the formula is to find an underdog who perhaps had the skill - but never the chance to play.

“This viewer controlled TV series will change the world of sports as we know it. It will force the same impact that the internet and Apple had on the music industry”

“THE FORT WILLIAMS FOOTBALL CLUB are 'THE BAD NEWS BEARS OF SCOTLAND'.

They are a pro soccer team that is embarrassingly bad recently LOSING 57 OUT OF 59 recent contests. The idea is to import a group of young, good looking athletic AMERICANS to come over and help the team try to go from “worst to first.” Along the way, the yankee lads will also drink their beer and romance their ladies. How will the Scots react to the Americans? Can they turn Fort William into a winning football team? Will sudden yankee-scottish romances create new couples or long-lasting conflicts and rivalries?

This is a fun one hour romp (aimed for broadcast in the USA and UK) -- two cultures colliding in an arced series about football, pride, and never giving up.

Every episode takes you into the private lives of the players and leads up to a pro match in the final act of the show.
