aston_martin Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Hi, I am in 2017 with my Villa team, and have a CL quarter final against Manchester United. Here's the problem. As you can see, 6 of my planned first XI have been called away to South American internationals, leaving me with a ridiculously depleted squad, for a very important game. What I want to know is does this happen to teams in real life? Because I for one, cannot recall it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just-Wool Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It doesn't, or hasn't happened yet anyway as far as I know. Not sure if FIFA make the CL dates available for international games, do you know if the games are friendlies or WC 2018 qualifiers? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

aston_martin Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Dissapointing from SI really if this doesn't happen in real life. It's been an issue as far back as I can remember. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just-Wool Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Looking at last years fixtures actually, South American qualifiers last year were on the 28th and 29th March, CL games were 10th March (2nd leg last 16) and 7th April. (1st leg QF) By the looks of it, your CL games are either 2 weeks late or 2 weeks early, the reason of which I don't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cato Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Yeah its happened to me as well for a CL game. Very annoying Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aston_martin Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 Great, I can't continue now, because I'm not playing that fixture with so many players away, when in real life they shouldn't be, going to wait for a stable FMRTE to be released. This is really, really dissapointing, for all this talk of a polished game, an issue that has been in the game for at least five versions is still there. Very poor.

Dougeh Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Happened for me in my Betis game. Squad was pretty much decimated too - 7 or 8 were away for the first leg of a Champions League away tie at Chelsea. I think I scraped a 3-2 loss so was able to go through in the second leg - but its still pretty frustrating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarian Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It doesn't happen in real life but that is because unlike FM there are actually human beings involved in setting the fixtures. If something like this happens the human being overrides the fixture computer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
