Most people seemed to expect alternate worlds. In spite of that though, it's also true that they expected the other Gods of Destruction to be unique, rather than Beerus variations... which is kind of contradictory when you add both together.

I'm gonna expand on my theory from yesterday.
Series starts shortly after Battle of Gods and everyone has gone back to their normal lives, Beerus wakes up because he can feel that a God of Destruction from a different universe is coming. Eventually after a few things we get to the battle, Goku and Vegeta are teamed up with Beerus (and maybe Whis?), but they are out matched by Fat Beerus. They do the God ritual for Vegeta and for no real reason this causes Goku to reenter his God form and now Super Saiyan God Goku and Vegeta help shift tide of battle, but not enough. The time limit of the God forms runs out, their power drops a little bit, but it is also brought up that Vegeta managed to absorb the God power just like Goku did in BoG, and then Fat Beerus starts wrecking them. Somehow both Goku and Vegeta manage to achieve Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan at the same time and then with the help of Beerus they manage to just barely beat Fat Beerus, but he has some parting words before either dying or just leaving, he explains that the 7th Universe is attracting lots of attention and that strong fighters from other Universes will begin to appear. Whis tells Goku and Vegeta that they need to get much stronger or the Universe is in grave danger, so he offers to train them. Goku eagerly accepts and Vegeta begrudgingly accepts.
Then a timeskip happens along with a recap of what happened in said timeskip, including an overview of Resurrection F and possibly End of Z if the timeskip jumps that far, after the timeskip the real series begins.
I'm gonna go ahead and say that this all happens in the first 5-10 episodes.

There are 11 alternate universes, I doubt there will just be 11 boring variants of Whis and Beerus. Female Whis and Fat Beerus are probably just to ease us into this new concept, as someone suggested earlier in the thread.
Also, in typical Toriyama fashion I'm sure the Z Fighters won't have to defeat all 11 pairs, because some will be good guys, some will already be dead, and some will probably just never show up at all (like some of the main universe's gods and demon gods).

New details
This is set immediately after Buu and before the "Yo! Son Goku and his friends return" special. The plot sounds like Dragon Ball to me

What WTF is Goku qualified to do as a day job? One man wrecking crew? Courier?
If I remember right, he's now a radish farmer, at least in the 2008 special, which is canon.

He also has experience as a milkman and a construction worker.
The funny thing is that, besides Vegeta, who lives off the fortune of his wife, Yamcha was the smartest of the Z warriors becoming a professional baseball player. He (most likely) became rich, famous and sports are more or less training.

If we are tackling alternate universe's I want to see Android Bulma... either captured by Dr. Gero or turns herself into an Android to help her friends

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Fat Beerus sounds hilarious.

Holly shit he would be perfect for that job since he can fucking teleport to other planets, teleporting to another city to drop off a package would be a piece of cake!
Well they certainly picked an interesting time frame for this series. I like that it basically picks up right after where the original ended and leaves the epilogue as an epilogue though I wouldn't be surprised if the series jumps ahead after the arc ends depending on how long it ends up being.
He's wearing the same clothes as then too.

This takes place before even "Yo! Son Goku and his friends return"? That's strange.
Videl and Gohan looked like this in "Yo! Son Goku".

Nobody gives a shit at Toei.
Obviously there's going to be a time skip of some sort, as Beerus and Whis are in the promo material and they don't show up for years after Buu's death. They've also said a new foe will appear more powerful than Buu or Freeza, implying that the first major villain arc takes place after Ressurection F. Kinda weird picking up way before the two recent films, but I think they're just trying to transition into Super smoothly from the end of Kai, who's last episode ends the week before.

None of the fighters should ever want for money. They could charge millions per minute for their labour and still have governments and corporations lining up to hire them for construction, landscaping, freight, disaster relief, dinosaur control etc... tbh if Gohan had a shred of morality he would have given up on becoming a professor after his first year of university and set about using both his education and his powers to make a real difference in the world.

In Dragon Ball Online, it takes Goku and Vegeta's death for Gohan to do just that. The result is a book called "Groundbreaking Science" which teaches ki manipulation to the general public, leading to supernatural martial arts and ki techniques being widespread on Earth by the time the game begins.
Omg that's adorable. He becomes the fighter his father always wanted and the scholar/writer his mother always wanted as well...

I was thinking more along the lines of using ki blasts to build giant irrigation canals so kids like Uub aren't forced to resort to what is basically human cock-fighting just to feed their families, but I guess that works too. Teach someone to fish and all that.
Movies fit in fine. They just don't fit in with GT which they wont ever.
Fucking yawn.
ATM, but apperantly Super is taking steps that don't make much sense if you have the recent movies in mind.
Some things are from before Beerus, some after Freeza, some in bewteen?
Could just be time skips. It doesn't ever displace the movies.
I just hope stuff in Super happens after the Goku and Uub meeting. :/
Instead of Goten and Trunks, we should get more Great Saiyaman shenanigans.

Yamcha was smart as fuck, joining a professional baseball team. He wrecked that shit.
I think we're forgetting DB is fantasy again.

I like the synopsis so far. I'm guessing the "find the present" saga won't last very long and that we'll timeskip pretty soon to allow for Beerus and Whis to appear.

I guess the concept of a time skip isn't that outlandish, its happened several times throughout DB and DBZ anyway

Maybe they do a timeskip to the time after that new Freezer movie.
Holy shit Goku with a job? Lol, this could be "driving school" tier if they do this right.
DBZAbridged. Goku thinks his name is Freezer.
Edit: Also I look at Videl and all I think is Team Magma.
Edit 2: Oh, as per below apparently the Latina America dub used it as well. I gotta hear this.
Also another way of translating フリーザ
True, though wouldn't it technically be "フリーザー" if it was Freezer?
that was the name used in the Latin American dub

Also in the French dub.
Also in the German dub.
Ok, we need more input from another countries but I think its safe to assume that that name was used in more countries than the Freeza/Frieza name

So yes, it seems the series does indeed start before BoG, but then will go past BoG and connect to RF pretty quickly.
I'm betting we are past RF by episode 10.

So basically it's filling in all the gaps? I'm ok with that.
In theory, it could lead past End of Z? Hopefully. Maybe.

I don't think it will reach RoF until the 25th episode myself

That's a long ass time, I mean they aren't adapting a manga so the pace will probably be a good bit quicker, and since the main thing that happens between BoG and RF is just training I think 25 episodes would be really excessive.
