Linie Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hello, i am looking for a challenge and a little excitement. I`ve noticed that there are some clubs in the playable nations which sport a complete foreign player base without the "based nation" nation being set to that nation (like F.C. Andorra, San Marino Calcio) or city being set there.. Examples are Espagnol Lausanne (Switzerland, complete Spanish) and Africanos braganca (Portugal, complete Cape Verde). This isn´t even editable and besides i dabble sometimes in FMT. Those clubs are usually lower league. If someone stumbles across such an example in the game i would appreciate it if you tell me, as looking for those clubs is quite tedious. Thanks.

Is FC Romania actually coded to have only Romanian nationals? I notice in my database they start off with greyed out Romanians. Also in the lowers levels are some Sikh clubs, but I expect that's a coding matter too far! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linie Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Yes, only Romanians, 100% Romanian youth intake and players are born abroad. I checked two of the clubs you mentioned, no luck. Found some Turkish clubs in Germany as expected and Croatia Berlin. In Switzerland there is a club called Kosova Zürich with an Albanian squad. There are more Kosova clubs and Bosnia around in Austria and Sweden. I hoped especially in Sweden that one would feature foreignes, but no. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.panda Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 There's an all-Japanese team in Singapore League, and a team in Hong Kong Premier League is effectively the youth team of Guangzhou R&F, a team in Chinese Super League. If you manage to get a Japan football league structure, there's a FC Korea with mainly Koreans, playing in the Kanto Soccer League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem with Albirex (S) and DPMM in Singapore is they can`t qualify for continental cups and I want to take a team all the way of course. Not sure about the team in Hong Kong. Quote Brexit sounds like it would be great for FC Romania.... That might be an issue.^^ Depends on your play style how big. Their youth setup is basic, meaning if you don`t play that strict the majority of the squad would be filled with English players after a while anyhow. There is a team called KF Afrika (or similar) in Iceland. Oddly enough all the players are Polish. Don`t know what i was expecting. Quote Atletico Bilbao had a rule that most players had to be Basque. They've relaxed it a bit, but still worth a try. That's Spain first division! Athletic is always fun of course, especially if you have France playable and help a club like Aviron Bayonnais, which produces french Basque players . My aim with the clubs i am looking for is in the best case scenario to support a national team outside of the larger ones as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Chinese players in Hong Kong, they only take 2 years to get Hong Kong status, allowing them to play in continental competition. Using your foreign player slots to nab talented Chinese players is a standard part of managing a Hong Kong team in FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note--the Shared Nationality Rules work with the following: China (China, Hong Kong, Macau.) USA (USA, Puerto Rico, USVI, Guam, American Samoa) Denmark (Denmark, Faeroe Islands) France (France, Tahiti) Netherlands (Netherlands, Aruba, Curacao) New Zealand (New Zealand, Cook Islands) Britain (England, Scotland, Wales, N. Ireland, Anguilla, Bermuda, BVI, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Turks and Caicos.) In the case of Britain, the Home Nations Agreement precludes the use of the Shared Nationality Rule to bring players into national teams, but I don't think it binds Gibraltar.

They get a quasi-automatic Europa League slot as the Liechtenstein representative, but as they are not a Swiss team, they cannot qualify for the Champions League, even if they win the Swiss League. The only way to get them into the CL is to win the EL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an Italian and German team in Switzerland, but I don't remember their names. Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal are Canadians that play in the MLS.

Hong Kong and Macau are not separate nationalities, and Chinese nationals can absolutely acquire Hong Kong or Macanese status. But, I will look it up in FM17 when I get home.

I understand this in terms of political views, but in FM Hong Kong and Macau *are* treated as separate nationalities. There used to be a shortened 2-year consecutive period for Chinese nationals to "gain" HK nationality and 5 years were needed for them to become eligible for national team. Then in FM15 FM decided that Chinese nationals cannot be of dual nationality (which is the case in real) and remove their ability to gain HK/Macau "nationality". Given FM only has one tick-box for dual nationality options it seems impossible to allow HK/Macau citizenship/"nationality" only. But Hong Kong teams do not employ Chinese nationals IRL anymore and the last nationalised players was back in 2012 when the political tension wasn't as tight. Too much off topic and I feel the need to contribute a bit more: @Linie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sports_clubs_playing_in_the_league_of_another_country#Association_football here's a page you may find interesting.

suncrush Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Similarly, Wellington Phoenix cannot qualify for any continental competition. They are an OFC team in an AFC league, and as a professional team, do not participate in New Zealand's qualification for the OFC championship.

Linie Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 Yeah, the Liechtenstein teams problematic off not getting into CL if winning the EL really bugs me as well. For FC Romania, i`d say trying to bring them up and than signing players from Romania is fine, as those would be expats than. One or two English players might be fine as well, as long as the majority remains Romanian. That is up to the individual player of course. I haven`t found any other teams. Supposedly there is a Haitian team in Brazil starting next year. It is not added this year and i don`t know if it will be added, as they start very low of course. That would be a nice challenge.
