What leagues did you load?

If you're going to do an international save, you want to set up your save with a large custom database where you add all current international players worldwide. You might even want to add all players with a national reputation. This will ensure that every nation has a good pool to work with.

I feel bad for doing it, but I have a EURO game against FK Austria Wien, two days rest, then a BBVA game against Barca, I've determined I'm going to lose to Barca, and I really want to make it to the next EURO round, so instead of my original plan of resting stars during the Wien game, I've decided to rest players playing Barca away, conceding the game, essentially.

Juan Carlos and Viktor Fischer(my two best goalscorers) are out injured, and I was forced to bring in a Bosman to fill the void)

I also picked up Andre Santos(Arsenal), Diego Contento(FC Bayern) and Odisseas Vlachodimos(Stuttgart) on season long loans

Ah okay, thought it was a little strange that Zusi, Agudelo, Omar, and Shea were nowhere found in the database despite having the MLS loaded.

My reserves played GREAT in the game against Barcelona. I'm proud of them. A bad penalty given to Iniesta made it 3-1 as the final for Barcelona, but it should be 2-1. I'm now serving a one match ban because of my post-match comments.

Joshua Gatt has been an absolute beast for me in the third phase of the CONCACAF qualifiers so far and produced well in a friendly against Germany. He's made my starting XI quite difficult to come up with going into the Hex. Might have to go with Shea as a left mid, Gatt right, Donovan and Dempsey central attacking mids and move Bradley from a central mid to a deep defensive mid, benching Daniel Williams. Or move Donovan to the left and bench Shea. Hmm, decisions, decisions.

Dear FM, I know I'm not supposed to be in LIGA BBVA this year, I honestly didn't want to be, I wanted another year to develop my youth players into adequate players, but you decided I needed to win. Now I know you were kind to me last year, that doesn't mean you exact your vengeance tenfold on me now though. 7 injuries is too many, and then a takeover bid. The team is rife with controversy right now.

When you type things like "This season has been hella easy for my squad, However I didn't realize how easy..." FM senses it and adjusts appropriately.
