splishysplash123 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 The best players in my save are all European. I've had an impossibly small amount of top-level players come from South America, and effectively 0 from Asia or Africa, - do I need to add playable leagues from those continents to my save to add even the possibility of more geographic diversity of star players, or add "international" or "continental reputation" players from those continents, or what? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maviarab Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Either or will work (loading players is less taxing on your system than playable leagues). The game tries to keep a population balance, if you have no players/leagues loaded from South America, there will be little useful youths coming from there.

Dreambuilder Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 (edited) Yes, more leagues and players. Load a few more leagues outside Europe. For example I load the only one in Africa. Perhaps there are some divisions in Europe you can skip? I only load top divisions for a faster game. (Except the country I manage in) Edited February 23, 2023 by Dreambuilder Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM21_Scout Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 (edited) You will not find wonderkids who play in places like Africa and Asia for the most part without changing youth ratings. You will really only find African and Asian players on foreign super power teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and so forth.

You can find good African players from African teams or Asian teams but the probability is lower compared to those coming from decent team. I had a save in FM 20 where I played for about 17 seasons and I got very good players from some Cameroonian teams and Iranian teams 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially in African countries there will pop up wonderkids if you have enough players loaded. I had a look in my game (in 2027) and found a few interesting players that generated in African clubs. The last one even has the media description Wonderkid and was generated in AFAD in the Ivory Coast. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XaW Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Also looked a bit further into other continents and found a few more Now, many of these might not be wonderkids, but they are certainly very good and talented players, so I'd say it more than a good reason to look for them outside Europe and South America. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcp1417 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 To increase the diversity of your player pool, you may want to consider expanding your save to include playable leagues from those regions. Adding more teams and leagues from Asia and Africa can help to increase the pool of potential players and bring more diversity to your save. Another option is to increase the continental reputation of the leagues and teams in those regions, which can attract higher-level players. In other words, use the IGE and boost the youth coaching and facilities for a bunch of foreign clubs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The images I posted above is from my current save where I only have a few European leagues loaded. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also question how the transfer market is impacted with so many players and relatively few active teams. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if it's an already started game, then I agree, though there are few leagues in Africa (1), so it's not like just adding South Africa will solve it. I've not experience any issues, but I play youth-only, so I don't pay that close attention either. Selling players work fine at least. AI Man City is using a lot of money at least... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
