[The One Nationality Challenge]

Goal: To win the Champions League with a team consisting only of ONE nationality (Starting 11 + bench).

Bonus Goal: That nation also wins EURO/World Cup.

Rules:

• You can only sign/loan players of your chosen nationality.
• While you don't have to actively try to sell foreign players, you MUST accept any offer that comes in for them.
• You cannot renew contracts for foreign players currently on the team.

I would recommend trying within leagues that typically rely heavily on foreign players (England, France, Belgium, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Germany).

I'm currently trying with Manchester United and I'm finding it to be incredibly challenging (and fun). Other PL clubs rarely want to sell their homegrown talent, so you either have to pay insane transfer fees or settle for lesser-known options to train up to their potential. Your youth academy also becomes a crucial part of your success.

Awesome! Any chances for a version with promotion/relegation? It would be awesome!

There are other databases out there that provide pro-rel, this one is supposed to be as realistic as possible

Did anyone find a fix to the database crashing? I deleted and downloaded the file again. Unable to start a new save regardless of which date I set it to start at.

Just wanted to report (what I hope is) a bug for those who want to manage NCAA teams: If you win the league, you go to the NCAA Championship, but your entire squad is on vacation so you're left with only gray players. Lost the first round 8-1 after an undefeated season.

There isn't anything that can be done about how many players your team starts with. While it doesn't seem to be entirely random, there is no apparent reason some NCAA teams start with more players than others.

The no players to scout isn't necessarily by design, but it is another issue that can't really be resolved. It has to do with starting knowledge, staff, reputation, and the amatuer status of the teams. It will make it challenging to coach the NCAA teams, but it's also a reflection of the challenges a real-life NCAA coach faces.

Thanks, I'm not one to shy away from a challenge!

I tried starting a save with an NCAA team and the team is half gray. I also noticed that there are no players available to scout, is that by design? It would make sense as a college team can't just bring in players at any time, but I thought I'd at least be able to contract end (simulating someone transferring to our university).
