Amusing me greatly that some people will wake up to the stupidity of Brexit when they realise they can't sign foreign wonderkids on Football Manager. 

Not a brit. Can't vote in Britain. Not everybody here are brits. Don't assume we are please. Proud Dane here. Don't care about Britains real life politics, I just want to play a football game thats fun, these brexit fantasy restrictions ruin the game experience for me.

It is a good way for the top prem teams to maintain their superiority of course. (After their failed attempt to be allowed to decide who can own other club, how money is distributed etc etc etc  failed.   )

Fully agree with this. In a weird way SI's made up work permit rules will keep the big six in control. It turns the championship and the rest of premier league into a breeding group for British players, that big six can pick up - to compliment the very few foreign talents, that have earned enough "points" to get a work permit. I saw in another post that even talent like Sandro Tonali from Milan couldn't get a work permit. Guessing that only Timo Werner and Kai Havertz-level players will be able to get one, which only teams like Chelsea, Man City, etc. can afford. 

I'd imagine this sort of points system would also drive up prices for mediocre British players to a point where championship clubs have to bankrupt themselves to buy a decent championship level player. Atleast if the in-game economy works like real life. 

And what about the whole talent problem? We won't see player stories like Fabregas in British FM saves with the current work permit points system.

First - I don't mind a challenge. I don't mind strict rules that promote local players... BUT! 
The current work permit rules post brexit in FM21 are simply too restrictive that it becomes gamebreaking for me. I've stopped playing the beta because of this.

After a long, hard campaign with Wigan in league one i got promoted via play-offs. Of course I have to rebuild a squad not at all strong enough for Championship, unfortunately I am not allowed to sign any non-uk player. Literally scouted hundreds of foreigners (internationals and regulars in top leagues), not one is able to sign for me.

What really annoys me is how vague the description of the so-called "point system" is (see attached image).

How does it even work?
When is it enough league or international appearances? Is it appearances the last year or last two years - if only the last year, then I guess the top clubs bench warmers (James Rodriguez from RM to everton for example) will never be able to happen in FM? What about league reputation, at what point is a league reputable enough? I could question every aspect of this. 
What annoys me even more is that I can't find any way to filter out players that won't get a work permit. My scouts keep having players that won't be able to get a work permit pop up. Last evening I spent hours scouting hundreds of players I later found out I couldn't sign because of work permit rules. It's so frustrating.  

As a Scandinavian I understand if this is SI's attempt to show stupid Brexit is, but it ruins the game experience for me. I don't understand how this adds to an enjoyable gaming experience in any way.
