I went Chelsea and managed to sign a 15 year old Swede, I also managed to get an American but can't get a Russian 15 year old? Seems to work out quite daft, anyone know how it exactly works?

Non-EU players need to have played at least 75% of their nations' international games in the last two years, or have to have a high potential.

It's used to have more place for youngsters from the home nation to play football, but the FAs can't discriminate against other EU players because of the Schengen agreement (equal rights of employment).

Hah English league sucks. Just be a spainish team, they can only have three but they get spaoinish nationality after 2 years for me. Felipe (from udinese) signed for me as Valencia... after 2 years he was playing for the Spain NT!

meh Ive started the game, two years into it :read:

anyways, I managed to sign Augusto Fernandez (Hernandez?) from River for free. Now he's my main AMC and scored on his debut (H)

I have to forget about Mokoena it seems. Very versatile player. Pity.

Strange you can't sign Mokoena since he should have a WP already as he's playing for Bristol City.

Maybe another bug?

He wants to sign him FOR Bristol City.

Its not a bug either. Same thing happened to Brad Friedel in real life when he left Liverpool. He had too appeal for a WP twice because Liverpool didn't play him enough (90% of Liverpools games was the WP agreement).

Its just the English league, its so overly strict on FM its unbelivable, it always has been on the game though.

Yeah sorry I meant Blackburn instead of Bristol. Anyway he's still playing in Engeland and IRL a WP is just a prove that you may work in that country for a period of time, I believe it's not only England but also in other country's like Holland you need WP's.

i rarely have troubles with work permits, but i have friends of mine who are always complaining about it..it depends, really of the player, his nationality and stuff..

Well, I'm argentinian, I'm familiar with 5 subs. I just don't use a sub GK. When my GK is sent off or injured, I'm done, but that happens once in a thousand, and I prefer to have decent backup for a main position that has "more probability" of get injuries or red cards.

Basically, I use this line-up for 5 subs only:

*** Player that can play at D C (and DM C if possible; If below I have an Wing Back with only one side, I try that this player could cover the other)

*** One Full Back (D/WB RL if possible)

*** One wing midfielder (M RL if possible; Note: If first sub is only D C, I put here a DM C)

*** One Attacking Midfielder Centre (If above I must put an DM C, I try, if possible, to have a AM C + One or two sides. If I don't have a M RL, but instead a M R (or L), I try to have an AM LC (or RC)

***One Striker

And with that, I cover all the position except GK. Of course that if I have a polifunctional player, let's say, an AM RLC, I'll put a GK on the first sub spot :P

Well... all is far more easy with 7 subs.

Argh.. really frustraiting...

It seems that players won't get spainish nationality if they play for differnet clubs... I bought a 17 y/o brazilian and i've sent him on load to 3 spainish clubs and still no nationality! Bug?
