Players

The “Non-Local Player Likelihood” and “Origin Nation Preferences” have been updated for nearly all 210+ national teams. Smaller nations such as Bonaire, Barbados, and Saint Martin now feature more realistic proportions of non-local players originating from major football nations like the Netherlands, England, the United States, and France. Historical teams — including East Germany, South Vietnam, Saar, and South Yemen — also have more authentic non-local player ratios.

Since many smaller nations will generate many non-local players from Germany, England, Spain, France, the Netherlands, the United States, and Sweden, it’s recommended you add more first and last name entries for these countries using the name editor.

First and Last Name Sources

Two new options let you choose the source of first names, last names, or both from another country, so that you do not need to import similar names repeatedly.

Usage examples

US Women’s Team: Import female first names for the United States via the name editor. Then, in the team editor, select the men’s team as the source for last names.

English Club Teams: Select England for both first and last name sources for all English clubs.

Name Editor

The name editor and team editor have been merged into a single interface. You can now switch teams instantly via the dropdown menu.

Naming of Non-Local Players

The latest update introduces more diverse and dynamic name combinations for non-local and heritage players. Heritage players retain the local-style last name associated with the country they represent, while their first names may come from their birth nation — so a Hong Kong player named Konstantinos Wong (Greece + Hong Kong) is perfectly natural.

If a player’s name is entirely foreign, you can think of them as naturalized players.

Player names now appear in play-by-play commentary for a more immersive experience.
