adzsim Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This MUST be a bug, michael johnson who is now 23 in my game, is still playing for the U-21's?! anyone else had this? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wezlaar Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 if he hasnt played for first team then he can be like one of 2/3 overaged people in the squad, i remember reo-coker doing this for a while in real life Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomtuck01 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 No it is not a bug. In real life, if you are 21 at the start of a qualifying campaign for the next under 21 Championships, then you are able to play for them until the end of those Championships. if he hasnt played for first team then he can be like one of 2/3 overaged people in the squad, i remember reo-coker doing this for a while in real life Incorrect. See what I said above. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcoleman1 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 has he actually played a game for them when he has been over 21? he may just have stayed in the squad but not been able to play and for some reason hasnt been moved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

50_kwache Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 It does happen IRL, I remember a few years ago Jamie Carragher was still playing when he was 23 and also Frank Lampard. I think you are allowed a couple of players up to 23 and also there might be some rules that if you are 21 at the start of a qualifying campaign for a u21 tournament then you can play until that tournament is over. I could be completely wrong on this though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Wakeford Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I can confirm to the OP that this is definitely not a bug. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt ex SEGA Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 U21's aren't allowed "over-age" players - that's the Olympic tournament (where they all have to be U23 except for 3 players, I believe). However - U21 tournaments have specific regs as TomTuck highlighted which makes the occasional freak case like this likely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
