Well, I'm playing as Ajax, and I get lots of players with Turkish, Maroccan or Antillian as 1st or 2nd nationality, so I'd say the way SI has implemented the regen-system is realistic.

i agree with the opening poster. the game is aiming for realism, and this isn't achieved by having a future england side entirely consisting of white guys called john

there are a lot of other things wrong with the game that should take precedence, but that doesn't mean it should be ignored.

On top of this neither of them are called "jemal" "duane" or "leroy".
england's last match featured micah richards, sol campbell, joleon lescott, shaun wright-phillips, jermain defoe and darren bent.

compare the real life england under 21s to the under 21 side you'll get in fm after several seasons. the latter wouldn't look out of place in the 1950s.

I've managed Wales in some of the later years and it's always ridiclous. You get a team full of Williams and Jones. I never really thought about that but its a very good point. The real England team could be made up of black players alone.

You mean apart from Rio Ferdinand, Micah Richards (and before too long Gabby Abongwhatever).

I agree with this, these sort of names are too rare in the game. Don't see how it could cause problems for SI either.

I'm sure I read somewhere not long ago 27 Williams' have played for the Welsh national side.

Back on topic, I'm in 2050 with an English lower league team and I seem to have a good mix of ethic backgrounds, even one Cayman Islander in my team, albeit he's rather rubbish.
