I also read the Personality/Media Handling guide by Nocuous which gave me the idea of preparing the spread sheet on Excel. People have mentioned that such a spread sheet was possible to make (the game engine obviously uses one) but I could not find any link or information that one has been made by players (please notify me if it's been done before). So I thought why not make one! I'm currently in the formatting stage -which is tedious but very necessary for Excel but once it's done, it's all about vlookup and if formulas. I hope I'll be able to build up the logic since it's a complicated one. If I manage to do it, I'll certainly post it up on the forums for download.
I'm currently managing Athletic Bilbao in my long, travelling manager save and obviously I had to concentrate in the youth development due to club's unique transfer regulations. It brings the youth development and squad management challenge to a complete new level which is incredibly enjoying. I managed to achieve a comfortable 3rd position in the league in the last 3 seasons and aiming to take down the above two obvious giants (who ridiculously sign every single top player in the world and win almost every game) in the next 3 depending on a bit of luck and a lot of hard work
A bit off-topic but I noticed that as Ath. Bilbao manager, I could sign Spanish newgens aged 16 and below and when they join the club, they gain Basque nationality. Any idea if this is intended or a bug because if it's a bug, I'll completely ignore any out-of-the club newgen except from R. Sociedad, Osasuna and a couple lower league clubs.

P.S.:
You should have gone with Ath. Bilbao
