madlad Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 As the title suggests, this challenge is based around the proposed 6+5 rule that has been bandied about the press recently. It is a fairly open challenge, you can play as any team you like and you must try and achieve as much success as possible whilst maintaining at least 6 home nationals in your starting line up in each and every game. Home nationals must be players available for the national team in the country you are playing in (e.g. Scottish/Irish/Welsh players will be counted as 'foreign' in the English leagues). I have been playing as West Ham, now coming upto January in season 1 and sitting 7th. My team: GK Robert Green DR Lucas Neill DL Liam Fontaine (1.5m) DC Anton Ferdinand DC Matthew Upson MR Giles Barnes (7m) ML Kyel Reid MC Mark Noble MC Scott Parker FC Carlton Cole FC Dean Ashton Chris Cohen (875k) Danny Haynes (1.9m) Phil Ifil (600k)(Jan) OUT Solano (1.8m) Really enjoying it, I hope anyone else playing with this method will post their progress in here.

Adam C Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 i think its not homegrwon players, i think it's foreigners. You must have 6 from England (or from the country which your playing in) and at max 5 foreigners in your starting 11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madlad Posted June 1, 2008 Author Share Posted June 1, 2008 Originally posted by PaulHartman71:I thought it was HOMEGROWN players You are right, the FIFA rule would be players trained by the club for 3 years between 15-21 regardless of nationality. For the purpose of the challenge though I wanted to keep it to home nation players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazza Pee Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Is it just in the Match day squad or is it the whole team? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevio11 Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Subs would be interesting then making sure you still have the right amount of players on but IRL this will never ever happen unless the EU changes the law but this could be an interesting challenge.

thezogsageordie Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 SI should release a mini-database with this ruling would be a lot of fun and a refreshing change and I doubt that hard to do? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
