FM 22: Athletic Bilbao wise game setup

[Ferni55]

Hello Athletic Bilbao lovers,

I will share my super wise ideas that i am using for my saves of Athletic Bilbao.

 

Enable all Spanish League as Playable

Enable Brazil League A as view only

Down there choose earliest game start date of Brazil which starts 7.12.2021. So you have 8 months early game date to sign 8 months younger players of more U16 Players, before they reacy 17 years old on regular league start dates.

Use Large Database and select Basque Country and Spain.. Tick for both nations `players based in nation` and `players of nationality`

Also start game with Both First team and International Team settings

After choosing Athetic Bilbao

Choose Spain National team ( Main team or any U-Team) so that you can have option to ask any player to represent your national team if available. So you can now scout search U16 Players of Secondary Nationality - Partially - Spanish nationality and offer them to represent Spain, if they accept, you will have right to sign them.

At first it may not be much option, but after newgens generates, will be more as many players to sign from

 

Good luck.

While your tips are good. Signing Spanish U16 players isn't the pure way to play this save

You could add the French leagues as playable as well. This should create a large Youth Intake (newgens) from France, with the occasional Basque player in there.
