Stolen from Reddit, a 15 year old who can walk in and straight away be Andorra's key player

Thanks, I dropped him a message but he hasn't been online for a while. Hopefully he may have some information

Hi, I currently don't have the game but i'm strongly considering getting it depending on the possibility of the Malta League being created. I have seen the Malta league exists in megapacks which is brilliant but it only goes down to Division 2. I was just wondering if anyone is aware as to whether a specific in depth Malta & Gozo Pyramid was being created by anyone this year? As it has existed in previous versions. Thanks in advance if anyone has any knowledge!

Hi Timo, Just wondering how the Malta system is set up as I see you've said it is 4 divisions. In real life it goes: BOV Premier League First Division Amateur League (Which is split between an A and B League, but it's the same level) https://stats.maltafootball.info/national-league/national-amateur-league Thanks!

Good luck! Will be following as saves like these really intrigue me

I am interested in doing a Malta league save this year, starting from the bottom division (D4). When you play a league like this from this megapack, are the players for the clubs at this level real or will it be full of regens? Just not sure whether to hold off for the guy who normally creates the in detail Maltese system with all the players or whether this database will suffice? Also another question, is it fine to incorporate a seperately downloaded league alongside the Timo Leagues? For example person X creates the Malta league on FM, can I use this database and then add the Timo leagues as well? Thanks

Noooo Enjoyable read! Weird that American Samoa are hardcoded in the prelim round of the champions league even though the rep improved massively

Bristol Rovers in the Europa League? Tycoon takeover?

Ah okay, well in that case Denmark is fine, as well as the other Scandinavian nations. I think Hungary could be interesting too

Wow unbelievable progress and still so much more to achieve! Interested what your scouting set up is for these players to be recommended to you as it seems to be players from all over the place!

'Rigged' Bizzarre attitude

For me I don't think build a nations with a team like Denmark who are already a World Cup level team is much of a challenge. If you don't want a San Marino level challenge, i'd suggest maybe doing a build a nation with Latvia, Azerbaijan, or somewhere like that. If you're willing to download extra leagues Lithuania, Malta, Macedonia could all be good choices for leagues that don't get used much and provide a long term challenge!

I'd definitely recommend watching it! Think it's so interesting to watch such an untapped region, and it has a lot of depth to it rather than solely being about the football. The one coming out next year is an acted version of the original documentary I think, which i don't really see the point in as the real thing was what made it exciting

Love this save, Nicky Salapu is a legend! Next Goal Wins is one of the most enjoyable documentaries i've ever watched as well!

This is another thing I wondered, would it increase the possibility of someone good coming through from Eswatini, or are they hard stuck being Eswatani level league players? I feel most of the time on FM, when you see a wonderkid from a random nation, when you look at their history they generated at a European 'big' club, which is a shame, as it would be amazing if you could just pick up a 15 year old gem who's popped up in the Seychelles league! As it does happen in real life, Victor Wanyama was playing in the Kenya league as a youngster before being taken on trial by Beerschot in Belgium, Mkhitaryan was at Pyunik in Armenia before being picked up by a Ukrainian side, i'm sure there's many other examples out there Eusebio was playing in the Mozambique league when Benfica picked him up!

Brilliant, thank you! Nothing worse than being a few years into a save and realising you didn't set up your game properly

Thank you! Also thanks to the guy above I guess your screenshots are from the start of the game (I recognise Bong Kalo from Vanuatu lol) so what happens in say, 2035, will countries continue to generate national players? Like will it go as im hoping and Nigerian players will generate in clubs such as Enyimba, Lobi Stars etc?

What is the best set up to ensure countries generate domestic players? What I mean is, when I played FM2020, African countries such as Nigeria, Ghana etc, were not generating any domestic youth players at all, and therefore their whole U20's squads were full of players that generated in England. I don't want to have to load the Nigeria league to resolve this, on previous FM's this used to happen normally, im not expecting a full Nigeria U20 squad of Nigerian league regens but the big Nigerian clubs should surely be generating a few players every year. Is there a way to 'fix' this? To show this is not just a me issue, it was reported in the bug forum by someone else Now I don't know if it's just an African thing or what. I remember South Africa generating domestic players fine when I didn't have the leagues loaded. But none of the West and East African countries seemed to

Incredible work thank you!. Just out of curiosity, finding information on leagues like Seychelles 2nd division must be tough, how do you do it? Or is it a case of these clubs already existing in the editor and then you are activitating them? Must take a huge amount of research and we are grateful

This doesn't look good. I can't see it being a thing where a player is worse than perceived on initial intake day, that could only be a thing maybe if attribute masking was on. But just looks like he's declined in everything

I hope that bid on the San Marinese player was from you!

A personal favourite of mine was on FM13 when I managed Newcastle and had a player come through my youth academy from Tuvalu. He didn't even have 2nd nationality, he wasn't wonderkid levels but had 3 star potential so could've maybe it at a decent level if i carried on with the save!

I assume it's always been the case that staff personalties effect the youth players, so I worry it's a bug when you've had this many intakes with poor personalities, do you know if anyone else is suffering the same with their saves?

Bump

Had a top talent come up in your scout list from Tahiti? A gem come through your academy from Aruba? Post them here! Wonderkids would be great but as long as they're of a decent level it's still worth posting!
