To me it seems like a huge disadvantage in a competition (or advantage for "normal" opponents) and thus unreal to implement since all teams in the same league should have the same opportunities.

I can imagine such teams in a separate competition with same conditions for all teams there. But it is against the original suggestion.

That's a valid point. Another solution would be that all BB teams would get limited to (let's say 2-3) players from another country. But that wouldn't really solve the problem of farm teams as 2-3 players would be enough to have a farm I guess. So ... a lot of things to think about. Or maybe: that it is necessary that at least one player of the teams "home country" will have to receive 48 (or lets say 45) Minutes of training each season. Just a couple of thoughts ... not a concept yet.

Anyway I think the minimal restrictio "prevent second team to purchase players from the nationality of the main team" should be applied. It's not a big one, it's not very different that a player from the utopian team can't be purchased by the main team and vice-versa.

I guess that sounds like a good compromise to me. One could still buy (in my case: german) players from the home country with the utopian team ...

So the goal of that suggestion is to help to create farms ? Even if they are farms with restrictions.

The goal is to give a new experience to hardcore users. Some of them could be interested to try to win in another country under restrictions. Some other ones could be interested to create a farm to train players from a micronation to help it because they are already invested in their community (if the definition of a farm is a team that exists to train players for a NT/U21 team).

Yes, I guess it's also important to define what a "farm" is. I for one like to train players, for the german NT, U21 and for the korean NT/ U21. That's one of the most fun aspects of the game for me. I still try to win as many games as possible and promote where it is possible. But if I'd just go for success in the league/ cup, I'd definitely need to buy more players on the TL, don't train that much ... so: am I a farm or not? In my opinion, I'm just a player who's main goal is to train nice players. But I could also be named a "farm" because I've trained 3 of the current Hanguk NT-players, had another couple of subs earlier on, am trying to add a couple of others to the NT roster with good training...because it's a nice community with Perpete, statsman, Nachtmahr (all foreigners like me who try to get the best results for the Hanguk national teams ...)

So: what would the definition for my (especially the utopian team) be?

I like to joke that we're legal NT farms XD

When I started off in season 3 (with my previous team) I had a player being called up into the NT coz my previous country was just created then. That kinda set off a training frenzy for me. I think partly it's because I kinda realized it was hard to compete with the day traders (back then it was pretty rampant) and I wasn't good at managing my teams finances so I never really had a shot with anything other than building NT players. Fast forward years later when I came back to this game with a new team, I started it off with the goal of training players. Even with better financial management skills, I just can't seem to change my playstyle and devoted my team to training players. That said I guess I might be excused for being a farm since I'm running the U21 myself.
