Is there a way to encourage teams in major leagues to scout/buy in a smaller nation?

[Jesus Bot]

Currently working on a DB that puts several academy teams all around Africa in a pyramid system based in Seychelles. However, I noticed during testing that, while there are many newgens with high PA, they aren't picked up enough by major teams in bigger leagues. In a 10-year test, only a handful have been bought. How do I encourage this to happen through the editor?

Other notes:

• I also want to prevent the clubs from buying players, but still have the ability to sell them. Right now my solution is just a really long transfer embargo. Is this the way to go or are there ways to enforce this through advanced rules editing?

• The clubs are from outside the competition nation (Seychelles). So their nation is set to be the competition's, but the base nation and continental qualifying nation is set to default. I want the clubs in the league to be able to only hire staff from their base nation - is this possible? I saw that under Competition Rules in Transfer Rules you can add 'cannot sign foreign staff', but in my testing it's a mixed bag wherein they all sign staff and coaches from the competition nation and base nation alike so it seems to have no effect?

• Lastly, is there a way to force teams to sell/release players once they reach a certain age?

If anyone wants to help, I can send you the file. I need a lot of help especially with registration rules, as it's a bit too confusing for me. Thank you!

You can go to transfer preferences of nations and adjust accordingly.
