lgardner Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Ive just taken over Athletic Bilbao in 2nd tier of Spain, however my star striker and a number of my players are ineligible for league football, why is this, they can play in the cup but not in the league. I now have Llorrente who is worth 6 million not able to play only in the cups. Why is this, i have looked everywhere to try and offer a new contract etc but they still cannot play in the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rancer890 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 The bottom right corner should have a 'Change' button that will let you assign squad numbers to your players so they can play in league games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgardner Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 where abouts is the change button and on what screen, i have gone onto the players screen and there is nothing there, or should i select him in the starting 11 and then i can give him a squad number. Can you put a screenprint of where this change button is as i cannot see it anywhere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftg87 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 IIRC it is on the squad screen, aint managed in Spain for a while though so might be wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember it takes about 3 months for a foreigner to pick up Spanish citizenship... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgardner Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 no way so i cannot sign any player other than from those regions??? What about foreigners Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 no way so i cannot sign any player other than from those regions??? What about foreigners Nope. All basque teams have that policy. It's more important to them than winning trophies... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgardner Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 well i think i will give it a few months see if there are any good players available, then maybe resign. If i can get them promoted i may be able to get a premier league team. Never seem to do well and have only ever had Championship teams Think it may be my tactic, so am trying the sexy football one starting from Thursday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
