    Hey all,

    I'm currently doing a little bit of writing for a blog and i'm looking for a word to decribe a group of soccer players.

    The players in question were mustly dumped out of top acamedies and failed to secure full time contracts and who are now showing they were good enough.

    Cheers in advance

    One word to describe a group of soccer players who were mostly dumped out of top academies and failed to secure full time contracts and who are now showing they were good enough?

    Cornerstoners (as in: the stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone)?

    A team of soccer players? :)

    I don't think there's a specific collective noun for anything so specific.

    How about a bouncebackability* of soccer players - make up your own :D

    *actual real word from the football world
