    In the last post, Dulwich Hamlet had just been promoted to the Premier League, after four seasons in the Championship. This is the Premier League that Dulwich Hamlet will be entering. The Top 6 is still the same old Top 6, with titles for Man City, Man Utd, Arsenal, and Chelsea in recent seasons. Sheffield Wednesday is one of a number of clubs that can call themselves the best of the rest; Everton and Leicester have been relegated. Apart from that, this is your typical Premier League.

    This is the team Dulwich will be taking into their inaugural Premier League season. As you can see, they have made a number of high profile signings; last season's top paid player, Giovanni Simeone, is now the 7th-highest paid player, as Dulwich signed six players on £200,000 per week or more. Despite the large payroll, Dulwich is favourites to go straight back down. Turns out paying massive wages to Championship level players in a promotion bid can hamper your ability to reshape your roster going forward.

    Dulwich starts the season out well, taking seven points from their first three and even beating Liverpool away. Dulwich actually starts with 10 points in their first five games, going 3-1-1. But then they go on a dreadful 1-3-11 run, and by mid-season Dulwich is as the pundits predicted: relegation candidates. They're having a better season than fellow promotion winners Leicester City, however: they've just sacked Jamie Vardy. Yes, that is Slaven Bilic who is managing Liverpool. Dulwich responds by buying three more players on £195,000 per week, giving them nine players in total who are on £195,000 per week or higher. A team that is paying £2 million per week to its top nine highest paid players should not be sitting in 17th place; despite this, Paul Cook's job is rated "very secure." Getting Dulwich Hamlet to the Premier League will do that.

    By the end of the season, Dulwich Hamlet finishes in 17th place, making it to safety on the last day. But what matters is that they are safe, and have another season to try and do some damage in the Premier League. For contrast, this is the West Ham United roster that won 7th place in the Premier League: as you can see, they are paid far less than Dulwich Hamlet's players.

    After one season in the Premier League, Dulwich Hamlet's value has dropped to £671 million: still quite rich, but paying as much as they did to finish as low as they did has taken a toll on their finances. Dulwich Hamlet is playing in the smallest stadium in the Premier League, so they plan an expansion of 5,159 seats to Rose Park, which will eventually bring capacity up to ~17,000, which is still very small for a London team in the Premier League.

    This is the team that Dulwich takes into their second Premier League season. Giovanni Simeone is gone to New York Red Bulls on a transfer of £135,000. There has been a little bit of roster turnover, as Dulwich loses a number of the players that carried them out of the Championship. The result is that the bookies give Dulwich 500-1 odds to win the Premier League, and expect a 15th place showing. Dulwich beats that: an 11th place showing for Paul Cook and his continued 3-1-3-1-2 formation. Dulwich also makes it to the sixth round of the FA Cup before they are knocked out by Arsenal. Dulwich splashes the cash around, ordering a second consecutive stadium expansion that will bring Rose Park up to ~22,000 seats. They have also mysteriously gained a lot of value once again, as they are now worth £1.41 billion. This gives Dulwich Hamlet enough resources to continue growing.

    The following season, Dulwich maintains their same pay structure of six players on over £200k per week, a handful of players on £190-£195k per week, and some roster filler below them. This is sufficient to get Dulwich a 10th place finish, their first ever in the top half of the table. Despite the 10th place finish, Dulwich has the league's second-highest scorer, and they also score the fifth-highest number of goals in the Premier League, with 63. This could foreshadow good things to come, or it could simply expose their defense as terrible. With the completed stadium expansion, Rose Park is now the third-smallest park in the league, above only Watford's Vicarage Road and Bournemouth's Dean Court. Dulwich's finances continue to look solid, as they are now worth £1.09 billion. They also have seen a growth in reputation, as they are now at three and a half stars. Paul Cook remains manager.

    This is the roster Dulwich Hamlet carries into their fourth Premier League season. The wage bill appears to have been pared down a bit, as they now only have four players on £200k per week or greater. Despite the bookies having Dulwich as favourites to finish 14th, Dulwich finishes 5th and qualifies for European Football for the first time in their history. Tottenham and Liverpool both collapse, finishing far down the table and reducing the top six to a top four. Dulwich seized fifth place on week 22 and held onto it for most of the rest of the season. Dulwich scored a very respectable 68 goals, fifth in the Premier League; but again their defense was lacking, giving up 63, tied for fifth-worst in the Premier League. For his accomplishment, Paul Cook is awarded Manager of the Year, the first to come from outside the traditional Big Six since Claudio Ranieri with Leicester City. Reaching European competition costs money, however, as Dulwich Hamlet's value drops to £305 million. A quick check of their transfer history reveals why: Dulwich spends £122 million on transfers this season, including well over £50 million at the winter transfer window.

    In the EURO Cup, Dulwich is drawn into a group with Villareal, Atalanta, and Feyenoord--a tough group to advance out of, but not impossible. In their first European campaign, Dulwich walks into the season with another relatively pared down roster, with only three players on £200k per week or greater. That could pose problems for a team that will be playing the extra load of European football. Indeed, Dulwich starts out the season going 1-2-4 in the Premier League, finding themselves in 17th and just above the relegation zone. In the meantime, Dulwich has picked up Rotherham as their second lower league affiliate.

    By season's end, Dulwich finishes 13th. They actually win their Europa group, picking up 16 points, but then draw Wolfsburg in the first knockout round who then beats Dulwich 4-1 on aggregate. As soon as Dulwich Hamlet is eliminated from the Europa League and from both domestic cups, their fortunes in the league improve, and they make steady progress up the league until they run out of games: Dulwich goes 6-1-3 after being knocked out by Wolfsburg. The end of the season brings more sadness for Dulwich fans, as Paul Cook is poached by Liverpool; Dulwich is paid £6.75 million in compensation. The Canadian Simeon Jackson, who came up through the Dulwich Hamlet academy and currently plays for St Mirren, is hired as the next manager. European football brings significant wealth to the club, as they are now worth £1.74 billion and have four stars of reputation. It also brings a need for more seats, and Dulwich Hamlet expands Rose Park by 5,000.

    Backed by the European money, Dulwich pays for their most expensive roster ever, in hopes of silverware. Fans hope that without the distraction of European football, the team will be able to focus on the league and rise to new heights. Dulwich does exactly that. Dulwich's sixth season in the Premier League brings another 5th place finish and their highest goal differential ever. But more importantly, Dulwich makes it to its first ever cup final, losing to Manchester United at Wembley. It's a blowout in favour of Manchester United, but at least this little club from London made it there. For his efforts, Simeon Jackson wins Dulwich Hamlet's second manager of the year award in the past three seasons. Dulwich Hamlet is still worth a very healthy £1.39 billion and is about to renew its assault on European competition. The facilities are now state of the art. Dulwich Hamlet is heading into next season with everything possible going for it.

    Dulwich Hamlet's seventh season in the Premier League began well. As before, they won their Europa League group, a considerably easier group of Hapoel Be'er Sheva, Porto, and APOEL. (Hapoel finished second; Dulwich took 16 points.) But unlike the last European season, their success in Europe did not affect them in the league, as Dulwich Hamlet sat in fourth place at mid-season. And while Villareal knocked them out in the first knockout round on penalties, Dulwich did not mind too much, because Dulwich Hamlet won the FA Cup. They beat Chelsea at Wembley in extra time, despite having only 37% possession. This is the team that won the FA Cup. The wage scale remains stable, as always. They were in third place in the league as late as week 19 before they faltered. They also led the league in crosses completed.

    So the answer to the question thus far is that £4.34 billion turns a non-league club into European regulars and FA Cup winners. But can Dulwich Hamlet crack the top four? Can they win the Premier League? Find out in part three!
