I think it's strange if the names and nationality of the drafted players are changed when they are picked by a team. I suggest two changes from season 2:
- Players on the draft board keep the name and nationality.
- The nationality of the players are biased, so it's more players from the nationalities the league consists of.

it seems okay, as some managers like using primarily home country players.

My team uses only national players. I like the draft players change their flag for my flag.

Maybe we could satisfy both parties...

How about drafted players stay at their nationality and name, but the manager has a way to rename* them / award them the own nationality?

* not by free input of the name, much more by querying the database for a new name based on the new nationality...

Great idea!!!

And so in 10 Seasons around i can have half team all with Name John Doe so opponent gets problem with names, is total confussed and my team gets then additional plus when playind

But to make it perfect: why not allow to choose the flag also direct after draft with limit one week so every one wish and need is possible with most possible flexibility?

You have no influence on the name that gets picked from the database by nationality! Therefore you wouldnt have 100 John Doe's

A player has to have a nationality, database requirement. But I think with ym suggestion each one could reach his own goals.

How ended this trouble? After the draft we will have the possibility to rename the players?

In that case, how will work? I pick the name and surname that I want in the database or it will be generated randomly?

Thanks!
