Brexit has pretty much hampered my gaming experience.
It's pretty hard to take a risk on a youth player.

I bought some 16 year old attacking midfielder who had a few u21 Senegal caps.

For him to change allegiance to France a year later.

He's now 18 and getting first team football in whatever league and getting French u21 caps, but I have no idea when I'll get him a work permit.

I invested heavily in English talent and had about half of the England squad, but they're starting to age more now.

I've managed to finish 2nd twice with Middlesbrough and I've got about 300m.

It's been hard to keep making a profit in the transfer market while maintaining my squad. Eventually it will implode.
 
I've had similar experiences with Brexit. I've managed to get Boston United from lower leagues up to League 2 currently. It has taken me about six seasons so far, but now Brexit has happened. I think it's a reasoanbly soft Brexit, as I am allowed 17 European players. That said, they still ALL need permits, which is proving a nightmare. I managed to find a 16 year old from Portugal who has a lot of potential. I got him on a free, and received him just before Brexit occured. As soon as it occured he now needs a permit. As a lower league club with no WP afiiliates I don't even know if its possible for this lad to receive a permit. It will take 1800 days for him to attain British nationality, which will mean he will be about 40 before I can play him.

Just to add, I think we need some clarification. I am presuming that you can still get these foreign wonderkids; you just have to get a permit for them regardless of their nationality. So even if one is from the deepest, darkest Peru, for example, providing you can send him to a feeder he will attain a permit eventually.

Also, if you want permits for South American players, send them to Spain. It's just 2 years to attain Spanish nationality, then I 'presume' they can be awarded a permit.

To get a work permit in the UK they need to be playing in their national squads. Getting EU nationality means nothing.

Spanish nationality isn't 2 years either, it's 10 :p.

Getting a work permit for a player who's Peruvian to play in the UK's easy (As long as the Peru are rated high enough).

Is this a massively worthy change over fm2016? Not played in a few months and fancied getting back into it but wasn't fully sure if it is much difference over 2016 (+ maybe a few select patches) as £36 on steam is pretty steep!
 
I am seriously tempted to start a touch game, the endless repetitive press conferences bore me and i don't always like the way my AM handles them if i leave him to it.

Only problem is i do not want to invest time only to regret not being on full fat FM. Does anyone else favour touch over normal?
 
Gotta say it replicated Sturridge perfectly I'm half way through first season has spent most of it injured or out with illness, scored once, got rid in Jan to bayern and they dropped him to back up status! I signed belotti and first game hat trick, used origi most of season and he has scored 15 so him and belotti should do me good :)
 
Ah torn on what to do, in my first season I only won efl cup and finished 5th, managed to keep most players happy only Gomez has handed in a request which I refuse. Anyway psg offering 120m for countinho 79m of it up front. He didn't give me great stats in regards to goals but was very influential when I played him
