I honestly dont see the point in having a beta if you aren't going to fix the problems We may as well all have started our main save at this point

I actually went through all the leagues to see what rules they had. The one I like most is mandatory buyout clauses. Now in Europe there is only Spain that I could see that do this, but I like the Brazilian model better. Your buyout can only be a max of the player wage x 4 or something. I tried putting mandatory release clauses in as a rule at Croatia once, but literally every player had a £0 release clause, so that didn't work haha Ukraine is also a good shout. I did look at them and their rules about having to play 4 Ukranians in the starting squad, but I'll have to see what the league actually looks like when it's released

Haha, I'd love to manage somewhere like Romania or Wales, that is what I really want. But long term, I just worry that once the league is won a few times, and europe is a regular thing, you'd just pull so far away from the rest, that the league becomes a pointless part of the game each year. Don't get me wrong, it would be a buzz for the odd european night when you get a victory or two, but having to play 38 games or so a season to just win 36 of them would get a bit draining. If I could have teams adapt around me and keep up, it'd be great, but being able to make money through scouting and selling players that clubs of similar statue couldn't do, will see them fall way behind. FM23 is still a month or so away though, so maybe I will go into obscurity

To be honest, I think it's going to be between England and Spain. Spain seems to have no prize money, but two powerhouse clubs and then Atletico Vs England who has decent prize money, so richer throughout the league, but also a strong 6 or so teams with money to maintain their quality, which could keep me out of Champions league football for a few years. I think long term, prem is the better option, with stronger and richer clubs, but short term, I think Spain with less financials means getting to the top is delayed a little bit more

Really didn't know what to pick for a title. With FM23 around the corner, I want to do something different, but I want to stay at one club. I want to start in the lowest division of said league and see how far I can take them. England seems like the obvious choice as the league goes the deepest, but in the past, I always found that there is too much money in the league and you end up being a financial monster. (That being said, I did skip FM this year, but did notice the prize money is a lot less, so maybe things have changed?) After that, we have Spain and Italy with a handful of good sides in each league, with a lot less revenue, and Barca and Real always tend to keep strong squads. I like the idea of Portugal. 3 top teams to compete against, but I just worry that once you get a foothold in that league, you'll be playing 7 or 8 important games a season, all in Europe, as the league becomes a formality. I just cant see the likes of Porto, Benfica and Sporting keeping up beyond a certain point. I'd love to go somewhere random like Croatia, but I think that'd be even worse than Portugal once you make your mark on the league. TL;DR What is a strong league that will always have top competition, but doesn't have lots of money, eg the prem, were bottom half sides are richer than most in other countries
