So last year I did a World Cup, using FM's draft mode, where each nation was represented by players playing IN that country - so Messi for Spain, Aguero for England, etc.
You can have a look at how it went on the FM17 Stories board.
But more importantly, I've started a new one for this year's FM. It's now very detailed - each continent has its own qualifying process, just like in real life. I've vastly expanded the number of teams in the competition as well, there's well over 200 sides now (from memory, I think there's about 10 or so nations I couldn't make a side for).

Cheers!
