When can we expect to have clubs from small nations? Fine, the game needs to have as much clubs from European top leagues and yes, these clubs are far stronger and important for the series to have realism in the leagues and master leagues and so on, but this year's European Champions League and the Euro have shown that weaker but better organised and disciplined sides can be better than the superstar galactic expensive sides with billions spent on players. Beside that, fact is that some of clubs that aren't there have millions of supporters but they come from weaker leagues and simply aren't so interesting. I have to mention just few that should be there from East Europe: Dinamo Zagreb, Hajduk Split, Red Star Belgrade, Partizan Belgrade, Steaua Bucurest, Besiktas, Sahtar Donjeck... I mean, Fenerbahce that sneeked into the game last year (I play with them all the time) is the club with 27 million supporters!Each of these clubs I mentioned has at least 1 million supportes and have some brilliant results in their history. Isn't that enough, even regarding the market? I've checked somwhere here that there's going to be Basel and Rosenborg in the game. That's great but if you compare these two and the ones I mantioned it is simply not fair regarding all the facts I mentioned, like number of supporters and reputation through history, not to mention some brilliant players that originaly played for these clubs!
I didn't mean to offend anyone but plaese let us have our favourite side on! These clubs and football nations have deserved it!
Thanks!

well, since theres 128 teams in the next version, its possible that they made include some smaller clubs...I know that the Eredivisie is gonna be completely represented...but theres hope for some of the smaller eastern european clubs that you mentioned, especially if they've played in the CL

Don't take this personaly, but these clubs are not smaller, they all have huge number of supporters in thier countries. They just have a lot less money these years and cannot keep quality players. If the Champions league is the criteria, then Twente, Herenveen or AZ shouldn't be there at all. Don't get me wrong, it's brilliant to have all these sides in the game, but we, fans of these clubs, fans of these series, deserve to have our side in, or at least the ones that have finished top and are qualifying for Euro cups.
