Football Manager 2019: 10 New Features On Our Early Wishlist

Nobody can criticise Football Manager 2018 for the number of playable leagues it offers, or the amount of research that goes into fleshing them out with players that represent their real-life counterparts, but it's only natural to want more of a good thing.

FM geeks love the challenge of taking control of an obscure team, learning about their players and helping them win trophies they've never even heard of, so no professional football league is too small to be represented in the game.

There's certainly room for improvement over in Africa. This is obviously a huge continent, yet only South African leagues are playable. Domestic divisions from the likes of Nigeria, Morocco, Algeria and Egypt would be interesting inclusions.

Elsewhere, the Indian Super League is growing rapidly, following in the footsteps of Major League Soccer and the Australian A-League as a driving force to raise the profile of the sport in the country. Big-name veterans including Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov are currently plying their trade in that division.

Over in Europe, countries including Cyprus and Malta are potential worthy additions as it would take a skilled manager to take a team from one of their top flights and guide them into the group stage of European competition. Any additional leagues and cups would come with their own unique set of challenges.
