Extra Time FM Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I'm currently half way through my 2nd season at Wolves. Our club culture is to sign Portuguese players. I even had the board stop a transfer of a quality player in the first season because I hadn't signed enough Portuguese players to appease them. Brexit has rolled round and we now have a limit of 17 foreign players in the first team. Considering I'm at my max for foreign players already, but the club expects me to sign Portuguese players, has anyone had any luck with removing such a thing from their club culture? It's going to be ridiculous if the board still expects Portuguese players, but registration rules are hampering my ability to do so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baodan Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 You'd expect the club to change its focus from foreign players back to domestic, given the circumstances of Brexit. It should be something you could get the club to change and if not then that sounds like a bit of an oversight from SI. Maybe there's some Portuguese players with English as their second nationality you can buy? Or maybe you could naturalize some Portuguese players yourself, to help with the limit on foreign players?

This is my fear. I was hoping someone had managed to remove something like this from their saves. I wonder if any mods could clarify if it's possible to remove it from the club culture easily, given Brexit has screwed the culture up a bit. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daspindocta Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong as I don't really know much about there transfer style before Nuno but Isn't that more manager preference than club culture in actuality? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a couple of Portuguese signings (Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro) just before Nuno took over. But the main influx of Portuguese players has been under Nuno's management, yes. It is listed as part of the club culture in FM though. I so hope I can change this soon or we'll be in big trouble when trying to sign players.

FrazT Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Is it part of the club vision which you decide on at the start of a game/season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different aspect but similar idea as the OP. I am managing Athletic and the board are insistent on me signing high reputation players. I’ve tried to negotiate it out of our vision but that won’t remove it. Currently there are no high rep basque players outside of my club, at least that match the clubs rep (I’m 10 years into the save). Fortunately I’m doing well but the board are always unhappy that I’m not completing this aspect of the vision. It’s a preferred vision not a required one so I get away with it, bit silly though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signing Portuguese players is yes. Wolves start with that as part of their club culture. I tried removing it when I first took the job, but they weren't having any of it. Does the outcome of Brexit have any impact on club culture? Or do the board not even acknowledge it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 It certainly should do if you get the 17 foreigner rule as the existing foreigners dont count initially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extra Time FM Posted January 3, 2020 Author Share Posted January 3, 2020 I will have to double check when I get home. I remember seeing I was 20 of 17 foreigners in my squad. If that's the case, the board wanting me to sign Portuguese players is just going to be a nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I play in Holland so not 100% sure whether what I'm looking at has changed much. I'm still in Oct '19 but Brexit has been announced as I remember seeing the news item for it.

Nobby_McDonald Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 If there is a 17 foreign player rule after Brexit then you could potentially have 17 Portuguese in your Wolves squad, and that's counting any that might have British as a second nationality. I doubt that club culture aspect is going anywhere until there is a boardroom takeover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italiano Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I was able to negotiate out "sign under 23 year old players for the first team" when I got offered a new contract with Pescara. So I guess it would be possible to negotiate out the Portuguese clause, providing your reputation or performance is of a certain level? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
