ESTIMATE (editorial, per league). Weighs level, import slots and how clubs usually recruit.
How players typically get in
Mostly through agents and coach contacts; many clubs also reply to direct emails with game film and stats. Open tryouts are rare. Italian-trained quotas make import spots scarce; EU passports help. (our summary)
