Just read through this...Amazing what youve achieved.I'm thinking of starting a Bilbaob save but is there any easy way to work out if a player is Basque or not?
Thanks
 
Great win in the league. Top 3 in Spain now! Good luck in the Champions League final. . . Well if you get there which I am sure you will.

I've been playing as a Bilbao, it's easy to find Basque only players, when you have the search for players, add nationally of Basque (you can search it) as a search.

When you go to player search it comes up with all the Basque players available/interested. The only other players you can sign are 16 y/o Spanish players so every March/April I trawl through the sides assessing their youth teams.

The only problem comes when you are Spain manager and by default it takes out all the people in the national pool but thats not difficult to change.
 
Yeah,That national team feature is really annoying.Anyway thanks for the advice and like i said im following this story!

Glory! Won every tournament this season so got to be pleased with that. Had a nervy semi final against Man City in Europe but won through and against Fiorentina in the final it was straightforward after they went down to 10 men. Went behind in the domestic cup final but fought back and won it with a late penalty.

Never been Atletico but if I were them I would still use the same one as I always do - Falcao lone striker, Diego behind him and probably Arda Turan on a wing (they sold Reyes so not sure of their other winger).

My youth facilities are all excellent but out of all those regen players only Jon Alonso and Aitor Herrera came through the ranks - bought the rest. Bandarian came this summer on a free and Ugalde was also a free 2 summers back. The rest cost between 1 and 2m and Cidoncha £11m

Its up to you! lol. I swear by the formation I use and would do that but each to their own etc. Diego however would probably play best as an AMC I would think but then again Adrian is a good young player
