I use a mac so i cant actually check the pa/ca, but based on my observations:
Brazil probably produce the most- i manage west ham and brazil- and brazil still has the strongest international squad in 2022.
Argentina are a dissapointment - i cant think of anyone of note.
Elsewhere in South America Columbia have produced a couple of good midfielders, and paraguay have one of the worlds best DMC's.
portugal have arguably the two best strikers in the world, but midfield, defence (with the exception of a top top right back) and goal are all very shaky.
Germany has deffinately produced the world best central defenders - 4 who are absoloutely world class, when most countries struggle to produce one. They have good players in several positions actually and are probably the best european side.
Perhaps the most striking thing in my save is that Turkey has a lot of excellent players - most of the top european sides will have one or two Turks e.g west ham (myself!) Arsenal, Real, Man Utd, Juventus, Barca etc They would deffinately be vying with the germans for best british squad. Along with Sweden they have the best regen goalie (i find good ones quite rare as even goalies with clearlly high PA have a poor distribution of attributes.)
There are two or three good spaniards, but they dont have a well rounded side.
The dutch are truly hopeless - no good players, even scotland have a beter team! I think this problem may be caused by them having a low rep league?
France, Italy and England are all fairly poor. Managing an english side, i would like to have a representative of our race on board, but i cant find anyone good enough - i am like ruddy arsenal - i pack my youth team with gifted foreigners!
There are almost no good africans, save for a couple of good white south africans, one of whom ended up starring for real madrid. Unfortunately the white south africans have black african names which is pretty distasteful. There are millions of hard working whites in Africa, why does si want to deny their existence?
I dont know if which leagues you run effects the production of regens?
i run england (
prem & championship), france, italy, portugal, spain, scotland & holland.
but as i have said the best european sides are turkey and germany and i dont run their leagues.
another thing i think may possibly alter the balance is the size of your initial database. I think i run on medium but with a ddt fie which adds most of the first division sides from south america & europe + all africas top sides. I think that if a team starts the game with a full squad, they will be replaced as they retire with regens. This means that for example the Kaizer chiefs and Orlando Pirates in South Africa still both have full squads with no greyed out players in 2022.
