The Top Player Exporting Countries in 2019

[drgriffen]

I was going to post the list but thought it would (potentially ) make an interesting question.

Can you name the 6 countries who exported the most players in 2019? I made it 6 as the last one is quite surprising, to me.

Well done with Serbia (they are 6) as I would never have guessed them.

Croatia?
Portugal?

I'd be surprised if neither Serbia nor Croatia were there. Portugal too.

 

[drgriffen]

Croatia?
Portugal?

Nope. They are 9th and 13th, respectively.

Netherlands?

 

[drgriffen]

Netherlands?

No.

England?

Factoring in players playing in Scotland and Wales they must be close.

 

[drgriffen]

A clue for number 4:

It isn't a country you normally think of for exporting players.

It’s got to be Scotland surely!!!!

 

[drgriffen]

England?

England is correct.

 

[iaatpies]

So far its

Brazil
France
Argentina
--------
Spain
Serbia

Just seen the answer. England is a bit of a cop out classing the other 3 home nations as being export markets for players.

Brazil churn out some amount of players, but do they still produce the quality that they did? Not so long ago that it seemed like there were top class Brazilian players all over Europe that didn't even play for Brazil.
