Preferred Squad & National Numbers

2nd & National Team Preferred Numbers - In FM Editor under players Favoured Number I think there should be 2 more options of 2nd & International Favoured Numbers. Eg. Whenever Xavi & Iniesta Played for Barcelona Xavi was #6 & Iniesta was #8 but when they played for Spain it was Xavi #8 & Iniesta #6 so that would be their favoured International Numbers. For 2nd Favoured Numbers my example would be David Beckham where he would want #23 but if it was not available he would take #32 like he did at AC Milan & PSG. Also with Renato Sanches, wanted #85 but wasn't allowed it at Bayern or Swansea so took #35. Hopefully this would stop top players taking random numbers, My Example would be Romelu Lukaku moving to Madrid & taking #16 when #9 is available & Julian Draxler moving to Barcelona and taking #6, Its the little details that go along way for me.

I'm not sure I'd be for players having an international preference. It seems to me that option lies with the nation's manager. But having a second preferred number would be good. For someone who enjoys the squad number part of the game, I can relate to players taking silly numbers as being annoying. I saw a newgen AMC at another club who was a solid starter, but had #5, and when I looked at the team's numbers across all squads, numbers 10, 18 and other desirable ones were available. So random.

Along the same lines, I'd like to see numbers capped, so that players cannot select stupid numbers like 85 or 99. These numbers have no place on a football jersey. Gone are the days when the number denoted the player's playing position. 

Finally, I'd like more newgens with preferred numbers, and make them more realistic. I've had DCs want #2 or #3, STs want #12 and others want ridiculous numbers like 43, 63, or 72. Just silly. For me, I always want either 14 or 18.
