Which Leagues To Load?

[Joby]

Hi, I'm looking to start a long-term Newcastle United save. I want to go fairly far into it, a few decades perhaps.
I was just wondering what database/league settings you guys would recommend. There's no point me having a load of leagues running, but I still want there to be an element of change and competition around Europe. I ran a few tests and it seems not loading up a league results in the same 2 or 3 teams winning that league year after year, it seems based on an undynamic reputation system. I've had Dinamo Zagreb winning the Croatian league every year for about 4 decades. I was thinking I could use the in game editor to tweak reputations randomly every few years, but I don't know if that would produce any glitches or not. I'm also keen to maintain a varied database, I don't want the world's best players to keep coming from the top nations, I want a few Yaya Toure's and Luis Suarez's. It seems to be the case that new staff only come from the loaded countries also. Loading only England results in virtually every team having fully English coaches and scouts, as well as owners, which seems unrealistic. I know it's a lot of information, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I'd greatly appreciate any input from someone with a bit more knowledge than myself (A)

My computer's specs are:
Processor: AMD FX(tm) - 4350 Processor 4.20 GHz
RAM: 8gb
System Type: 64-bit Operating System

I would presume that tweaking clubs reputations could cause a few problems and possibly ruin the game (e.g the players all leave because they're bigger than the club and you now have a team of very good players available all on a free)

I have read somewhere that your staffs nationality has a slight effect on the chance of the nationality of youth players that come through, also you can set feeder clubs up with different nationality teams to get their youth players which you can develop into the next Yaya Toure, Suarez etc, obviously would require a link with a club that has high youth facilities.

As far as the same team winning the league goes, I feel ya! Maybe loading England, Italy, Spain, Germany etc a few of the "big leagues" but having a lot of "unplayable" leagues in different nations such as Croatia - this would also mean you have a wider range of players available and more nations getting regens?
