ryanlion28 Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 It's normally fairly rare to get a wonderkid from a minnow nation on the game, however Miles Jacobson announced that more players will have 2nd nationalities, to reflect real life in FM20. Therefore i'm expecting to see more come through, has anyone had one yet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanlion28 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Now the full game is up and running for everyone has anyone found one, gonna wait till christmas before I buy it, looking forward to a Laos striker to tear up the premier league!

ryanlion28 Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Ah that's a shame, looking at the comments they are looking into it, and it doesn't seem as much of a problem in England, which probably has a wider range of second nationalities than a lot of countries.

oblongata21 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 I think the French and Belgian leagues will be the best places to look for dual nation regens, but its seems it not working properly. In fact its gone the other way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's kinda fun to spot these kids who have literally come out of nowhere, from nations that don't have much history in football at club or country level. Right now in my game (just about to hit 2024) the best 10 newgens in the world are Brazilian, English/Welsh, Brazilian, Brazilian, Brazilian, Brazilian, Argentine, Russian, German, Belgian... so when someone from Kosovo, Gibralta, Malta, San Marino etc pops up in the worlds best young players you KNOW it's exceptionally rate. It's also pretty cool if you spot that one kid, and then track their progress to see if they help that minnow nation to actually achieve something.

Hasn't everyone provided perfectly justifiable answers to why this interests us You have and that's why I asked the follow-up question. I myself enjoy seeing talented players from exotic countries but I like talent in general more than rare foreign flags. So if you enjoy quality players from minnow nations because you find the rarity fascinating, then why not look for even more unique and rare players? Why not only look at minor clubs in minnow nations, since them producing quality players is even more rare than the big clubs in the same country. There's generally fewer goalkeepers than outfield players, and fewer still who are equally good with both feet, so why not go even deeper, if rare and unique is your thing?

Because everyone is looking for the shiny version because it's rarer. Looking at only minnow clubs is quite not the same is it? "Look at this amazing Papua New Guinean striker i found. He is from Alotau, not Port Moresby, that is much rarer" doesn't quite have the same sound to is as "An amazing striker from Papua New Guinea tearing it up for Barcelona". Who cares what city he is from? Mostly, country is a way of identifying a player. He will play for the national side, perhaps leading them to some form of glory.

This is like asking people who collects things why they are not collecting things that are harder to get. "Stamps? Pfft, why not collect secret classified government documents, they are harder to come by". The people in this thread have decided this is a fun thing to look for since it's rare, but quite easy to spot when it happens. Why not let us enjoy it?
