It's usually young argentines and brazillians mind, not someone who'd been playing in europe since 2012
Same story with Ramirez.
They are harder to get because Dyke changed the rules in real life so FM went along with that. Players from clubs outside the top 50 ranked countries are much harder to get now.0 -

I missed out on a winger for ~6m from Brazil at 17, who then went to Shaktar and Barca and is now the best in the world by a distance.
Little bits of bs like the work permits would have me going near the editor :pac:0 -

They're not bs at all though, its just realistic ,you could still have bought him and loaned him out to get a permit.

Sacked by United by end of the first season
Ah well. Newcastle were relegated and looking for a new manager, so thought why not. Entire first team wanted out, which suited. Sold them all, replaced them with a team of kids. Managed to bring in Nick Powell, Loftus-Cheek and a few others. Got Begovic to come down a division, had to sign Johnathan Walters the Legend :P Built an entirely new squad with about 25m. Actually enjoying it now, building the team from scratch and looking to reestablish them.
So a quick follow up....
Got promoted back up in my first try, coming second in the league.
Brought Jesse Lingard and Federico Fazio in at Xmas. Both were awesome. My "Buy All the United kids" has worked well; Powell and Lingard will survive the step up to the PL, Lingard was voted Fans Player of the Season, and Macheda scored 24 goals in 36 games. For 100k, he was an absolute star. Zach Clough was my signing of the season though. 30 goals in all competitions, and only 12 assists. At only 22, he's easily a starter for my first year back in the PL. Just hope he doesn't get aspirations of moving off.
So now the transfer window opens and I've got to build a PL level team now. This is the favorite part of my game

I started a new one with FC United (usually to a test run with a big team then go for someone way down in the lower leagues). First year I flirted with the playoffs but fell off a cliff the last 5-6 games and finished midtable, second year I snuck in and got promoted - both seasons predicted to be relegated.
In the Conference I was favourite to get relegated in my first year, again flirted with the playoffs but again fell off near the end of the season and ended midtable. In my second year, started slow but got better as it went on and went on a tear for the last 2 months to win the league on the last day of the season!
The stadium is tiny at 4,200, and facilities are poor so it's a right b*stard to generate cash. Getting promoted forced the board to go professional and to expand the scouting across Europe (after my asking them 20 odd times before to no avail!). First year promoted we were massive relegation favourites, I had no money to bring in anything but free agents, and had a bunch of lads overpaid on the last year of their part time contracts. We were 200-1 to win the league... the next worst team was 40-1 :0. Got a good run of form in October/November and squeezed out some results along the way, but fell off a cliff near the end of the year again. Still, finished 5 points clear of relegation and now all those part time contracts (bar one) have expired and been let go. I've got a full squad of mabye 8-10 players, and a rake of young Eastern European/Scandinavian lads to choose between on free transfers over the summer! The club have taken a loan to expand the stadium to 5,800 (1,500 extra seats! We only had 400-odd before! ), it's all coming up Millhouse!!
Oh, except we've got -50k in the bank.
**If anyone is starting a game with a non-league team do yourself a favour and buy Adam Blakeman. He's not cheap for that at about €20k and his attributes don't look too impressive but the guy is a beast at CM, had 10 goals and 30 assists with 7.33 & 7.36 ratings in my two seasons in the Conference and held his own quite well (6.87 rating) in my first year in League Two despite his report saying 'Conference North/South level player'. He's also a 14 at corners and 12 at free kicks which are really hard to come by that far down.
Feck that, I'm not calling in the Vanaramabananapajama North/South/National!0 -

I just lost the league 2 playoff final to Gillingham, thanks to my season long liability CB giving away a penalty in extra time.
Not bad though - the second least likely team to win promotion were at 80-1, while I was the least likely at 500-1 (!!). I even got to an automatic promotion spot on the second last day of the season, but lost on the last day of the season to drop back to 4th.
On the plus side, a legit stadium expansion is underway to basically double my seats from 2,500 to 4,750-ish and both my youth academy and senior training facilities are getting upgrades. Plus that liability's contract is up on July 1st... see ya! 0 -
