I know this must be a topic that has been discussed in the past, but since it's not on the front page I feel like it's still not discussed enough. In short, if you play in a country where there are not so many active teams there is no way to actually enjoy this game. First of all, you won't have any competition until the higher leagues, but most important: [b]you can not grow a team since the transfer market for domestic players is absolutely dead[/b]. To give you an example, currently the Netherlands transfer market has two pages of players, most of them absolutely useless. I understand that the residence permits were introduced for that reason, but let's be honest, those place fill up quite fast and who would want to occupy them with just a young player as a punt that maybe he turns into a quality player. Not to mention that for new teams, that resident permit is not peanuts, 100k-200k is quite a lot of money if you just started. In the unlikely event that there is a decent domestic player you still have 0 chances of buying it since the senior manager just have millions in the account while you're struggling to pay rent on the stadium. One can argue that you have less competition on the market, but that's also not the case since you're just looking to strike a deal, you can't afford to compete with others. So all in all, this is quite unfair. As a club member I expect that we're paying the same money all over the world, so why not get back the same features from the game? I knew there have been talks for a free market, what's the latest on that?I know this must be a topic that has been discussed in the past, but since it's not on the front page I feel like it's still not discussed enough.

Very similar situation here in AUS - In our first senior national cup in 2006 we had 66 entrants - This season only 32

When I started playing back in 2006 the USA community was massive with even the defunct DIV4-6 cup being extremely competitive with 100s of teams, but most of those teams signed up because there was publicity on a very well known Argentinian newspaper that kind of partnered with MZ at the time so a lot of the team in USA belonged to Argentinians living in USA.... also, I don't think there are many new users in USA, most of the teams are from the hardcore base that has been around for years and I'm talking lots and lots of years with most users being from 2006/2007, flaco my NCA started playing 2003 so you get the idea.... it's kind of sad that every season we lose one or two of this old time managers due to frustration, lack of improvement on the SIM which gets boring as there's nothing new to discover tactically, random results, bugs not fixed, etc. etc.

This would not work, as Iceland and Faraoe Islands have dead markets and no bordering countries.
