The Eredivisie Teams to Use and Avoid on FIFA Career Mode!
587For most people the Eredivisie is a league that they occasionally sign the next upcoming superstar from and don't give it too much attention. In today's video i'm telling you exactly why the Eredivisie is actually one of the most underrated and fun leagues on FIFA, and how you can enjoy your saves with any team in the league.
Of course, the league is not just Ajax, Feyernoord and PSV, there are another 15 good clubs you can pick in the Eredivisie. While the league might not have all the faces, all the stadiums or a second division like the Premier League, everything else is fully licensed and can be used as the backdrop to a super fun Career Mode save. If you have suggestions for other leagues you think I should cover, please let me know in the comments, on Discord or on my Twitter @geografifa .
Before we can talk about the present and future, let's have a super quick look at some of the history of playing in the Netherlands.
The Eredivisie was founded in 1956 so is one of the youngest major professional football leagues in Europe.
The league currently consists of 18 teams, with the winner being crowned Dutch national champion.
Ajax are the most successful Dutch club in European competitions, winning the European Cup/Champions League four times.
Over the past 2 decades, the Eredivisie has seen increased movement of players to other European leagues, with many top Dutch players moving abroad to play for foreign clubs. During the 60’s to the 90’s, a lot of the better Dutch players stayed in the Netherlands.

Scout Netherlands & two of:
Belgium - 25
Check the location of your team. PSV are right near the Belgian border, so they would be a realistic choice. Similar can be said for Fortuna Sittard and RKC.
Germany - 17
NEC, Vitesse, FC Twente and Emmen are all close to the German border, so consider scouting there if you pick one of these teams.
Sweden - 14
Lots of Scandinavians move to Holland, and the proto-Vikings were one of the main settlers in the area over 1,500 years ago. This means theres partially a shared culture, and lots of Swedish, Norwegian and Danish footballers head to the Netherlands before moving to bigger leagues.
Norway - 13
Morocco - 11
16% of male youths under 25 years of age in Amsterdam is Dutch-Moroccan, so any club in the Netherlands should look to scout Morocco.
Greece - 9
France - 9
Turkey - 9
Similar to Morocco, there is a large amount of young Turkish men in the Netherlands. This could be an interesting place to scout, if you like having a realistic youth academy.
Brazil - 8
