Atarin Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 I'm a stickler for recruiting talent from the local area. As such I'd find it extremely helpful if we had the ability within Player Search to filter by local region. For example, in England you have local regions such as South West, South East, East Midlands.etc I don't think players are given a birth 'local region' in their data set but it could be inferred by referencing their Place of Birth. e,g - Name: John McJohnson Place of Birth: Exeter Exeter = Local Region: South West. Not all players have their birth city listed. To get around this we could filter by previous club then we could get some idea. e.g - Name: John McJohnson Place of Birth: ? Previous Clubs: Truro On seeing that John McJohnson had played for Truro we could assume that John McJohnson was based in the South West. A third dimension to this would be the ability to filter a player's previous clubs by Local Region. So rather than laboriously trying every South Western club in the filter you could simply select the option to search for players who have a previous club based in the South West. You could go even further and have various filter options for previous clubs. Filter: Previous club by name: Truro Filter: Previous club by local region: South West Filter: Previous club in city: Truro Filter: Previous club at level: 7th Level Filter: Previous club in country: England Filter: Previous club by reputation: *** 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
niklas88 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Haha, this was exactly one point I was going to suggest when logging in. Maybe also a "currently living in" region. This is something that I really really want them to add, along with making it harder for teams lower down the leagues signing players from regions far away.

joaquin87 Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Yes, this will be great feature and i'm waiting for years. In recent games added homegrown filter, which is fine, but this is also necessary 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
