That looks more like a national team selection problem? Or maybe there are just very few players if you aren't running the league - i generally run with most leagues so i haven't experienced that.

The problem with FM07 is that results became increasingly random as the whole of the prem became full of players with the physical ability of Essien and the technical skill of Messi. plus, there was virtually no differentiating between the quality of players in league 1 and the conference after a (long) while. The game became very much a lottery insofar as AI results went.

I have many leagues loaded, that jsut happens to be one of the best Dutch strikers in the game at the moment. Sure there may be better ones around possibly but the fact that anyone of that quality could make it anywhere near a major European national team signals that something is wrong.

And yes things have to be monitored carefully so the the balance does not go all out of whack but things defnately have to be improved from the current state.

well, i have to say i've never seen anything on that level myself, it certainly does look a bit odd.

Also it should not matter what leagues are loaded. The "Big" international teams should always be filled with real/regen players that are consistent with the level of play for that nation.

If I don't lead Spain or Italy their national teams 20 years from now should still be pretty strong.

The lack of loading those leagues shoudl jut cut down on the extra average or bellow average players from those countries.

Just. Wow. 7 Caps. Wow. I'm speechless. He's quite possibly one of the worst players I've ever seen on FM. Wow.

Exactly. I should not have to load 25 countries on full detail and have a game database of over 100k players to get some good players.

And his salary too for a fully-fledged international of a leading nation.

That does look like a nation-selection issue which I hope SI have logged.

i disagree, look at the number of brazilians playing in the european championships.

pepe and deco for portugal would on current form actually make the brazil first XI

spain and turkey both have brazilian DMC - senna and mehmet aurelio

croatia obviously did have eduardo et etc

this kind of thing is starting to become more and more common, 8 brazilians starting for portugal seems unlikely but is within the realms of possible.

retired_meaganeldridge

agreed, it will be impossible to make everyone happy, but erring on the side of too good would be much better.

we all end up with boring italian style teams now - squads full of technically excellent midfielders but lacking anyone with pace or dynazym - think any of capello's club sides.
