You can add them now? Even if you're already few seasons in.

Bit concerned about laptop speed but think I’ll have to just to make it more authentic with talented younger players wanted by the big boys. Any idea if the leagues can be changed to background mode once added later on?

[[FM20] A New-ell's Adventure]

As a huge fan of Argentinian football I loved reading this! You’re in charge of a cracking club. I was in Argentina in 2018 and watched various clubs (Racing, Huracan, the Superclasico and the national team). Sadly by the time I’d made it to Rosario it was the international break so I didn’t see a game there. I did however get into the stadium for a look around and have watched loads of videos of the loco Newell’s hinchas ever since. The ground is quite literally in the middle of a park. One day I’ll see a game there! 

As for FM, I’ve just arrived across the River Plate after three seasons in Montevideo. I won three leagues with Nacional (one unbeaten) and build a tidy little team cherrypicking the best Uruguayans from the league’s other teams. I made it to the Libertadores final and was 2-0 up against Palmeiras in the Estadio Centenario (the national stadium) but in heartbreaking fashion we conceded in the 93rd minute and went onto lose on penalties. 
 

So unable to deal with the agony of losing the final I’ve taken over at Independiente who are languishing in mid-table. Absolutely loving your updates, keep them coming!

How does everyone set up their South American saves in terms of leagues loaded, playable vs view-only, database size, etc.?

I just loaded all the South American leagues plus Mexico and the US. However I think I may have messed up by not having the major European leagues in the background as none of my players are ever targeted by European teams. A blessing and a curse I suppose. 
 

Meanwhile it was heartbreak for my Nacional team. Put together quite a team over my three years there, cherrypicking the best Uruguayan talent and winning the league each year including one unbeaten campaign. However in my final season I got all the way to the Libertadores final (improving on a semi final the year before). The game was played at Montevideo’s Estadio Centenario. We played Palmeiras from Brazil and took a 2-0 first half lead and were comfortable until they got one back in the 70th minutes. Then, with ten seconds left they struck an equaliser and eventually beat us on penalties. So heartbreaking to see the trophy slip away like that. Given my small budget compared to the Brazilian teams in particular, I decided it was time to take on a new challenge, leaving Nacional with a talented young team and another three league titles, as well as the final appearance. So I’ve hopped across the River Plate and taken over Independiente who are currently languishing in mid-table .

Can recommend Nacional de Montevideo as a fun game to get started with in South America. One of Uruguay’s big two. My first season was a struggle with a mixture of lots of veterans but also some good young prospects. I eventually won the title, pipping Peñarol and had a decent run in the Libertadores getting edged out by Sao Paolo in the first knockout.

However, second season is a different story. I’ve strengthened considerably (without spending a penny), got rid of the oldies and have opened up a big gap at the top of the league and also knocked out Corinthians and Palmeiras to make the Libertadores semi final where Flamengo await. Great fun so far.
