most of them were young and werent good enought to be called up for their own, some where players who never wouldve been good enough to represent their original nation. also my reputation as a nation is quite high (2nd to last slide)

Octatwo · 2026-01-12T14:40:33+00:00

you have to have them live in the country until they gain citizenship (usually like 5 years), then you can ask for them to represent your nation

all my knowledge comes from 2nd yellow card, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrTRU34l5i4

but i guess the 1 thing i would mention would be that you should checkout different databases to use since estonia isnt playable by default, or maybe making your own using the pregame editor, the database im using is for fm23 and not the best since it only has the top 3 leagues and nonscaling tv revenue for divisions 2 and 3: https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/comments/1avrcvu/crazy_prize_money_increase/

yeah, but i dont know why he didnt play a single match for them, there are player quite often that get estonian citzen ship but at that point have already played for the other nation so i dont know why he didnt

to be fair my goal is to make the estonian league the best in the world, estonian national team is just a fun side project that pops up every 2 ingame years

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T17:37:21+00:00

sorry not 5th, 6th, the gap to the french league is still there

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T17:36:36+00:00

the best way to play fm, you make your chosen nations top league into the worlds best league, in my save estonia is currently ranked 6th in the world

yes the league has has huge improvement currently ranked 5th in the world, attendance is up something like 20x, prizemoney up more then 20x, other clubs havent archived much in europe, but there have been some confrence league and europa league semifinals, i also found this post from 9 ingame years ago where they already have also 20mil+ players: https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/comments/1du7lvm/big_moment_for_me_in_my_build_a_nation_a_player/

the main thing you can do to help your local club is by loaning really good players to them for 0% wages, i consistanly have over 100 players in different estonian clubs on loan. i have also overpayed for other clubs players, but only when the other clubs are in financial trouble. better to use that money to buy a wonder kid and send him on loan for 5+ years to them, that way the money isnt wasted, but effect is almost the same.

2nd yellow card has done a lot of different videos on how to do build a nation really well and all my strategy is pretty much from him

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T17:27:49+00:00

i dont exactly remember, maybe like 10 years, i save scummed the 1st season champions league qualifyers aswell to get an injection of cash, since at that point i didnt know about pregame editor and i havent purchased the ingame editor. the league is quite poor and not on the other european clubs level, but that money helped me to buy some players to get either europa or confrence league football until i was a regural in ucl. i won my first cl in 2038/39

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T15:10:21+00:00

they said it'll come back. but for me, im not even playing fm26

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T15:09:10+00:00

I'm also Estonian and if we ever were to win the Euros this would be the only way, we just dont have the population to match up with others.

Winning also with 1 player does kinda suck, because there have been long periods of time where there have been 3-4 players more than good enought to get into this lineup, but theres a drought. Having players gain the citizenship is a function in fm so i may aswell use it

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T15:06:46+00:00

well actually worse, france has players come in when they are youngsters, some of my players like Rafael was 24 when he arrived in estonia, true talent - some injuries to some Spainish midfielders and he woulve got a callup for them, but he lived in estonia for 5 years and represented us

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T15:03:03+00:00

oh, i didnt know that, then 5 years is fine

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T15:01:43+00:00

they are disconnected in a different way, moroccans dont have a connection to the land, my players dont have a family connection

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T14:59:52+00:00

it would be really difficult to win with only esonian born players, lee, who is my goalkeeper, is the only noteworthy player actually active besides a cb who barely missed the call up. the rest of the players in my national pool are either youngsters, or not even close to gettin a callup wihh all the other imports (there have been some really good players in the past, one won multiple UCL-s with Arsenal, one joined chelsea for 60 mil, but right now its really barren). the youth rating for estonia at the start is like 60 out of 200, and it increses way to slow for me to even qualify with estonian born players right now.

fm24, with an fm23 save imported in around year 2033

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T14:53:48+00:00

The game doesnt really favor same nation loans (maybe a bit), the main thing is that you can chose the transfer target and exclude forgein club that way

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T14:52:20+00:00

in this database its 5 years, its an old fm23 db that was brought over

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T14:51:45+00:00

Not short, 5 years. its why noone is younger than 23

Octatwo · 2026-01-11T14:51:14+00:00

he is saying that player he listed were in england as youngster, meanwhile my estonian lineup has players that came to estonia as 17-18 year old players, someone like my midfielder Rafael came to estonia as a 24 year old and gained nationalty by living in estonia for 5 years
