Mark67539 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I'm playing as Leicester City in the 1st season, just signed Marlon King on a free transfer after the deadline day, as he is unattached, even though he had the UNA (unavailable) symbol next to his name. I'm able to play him right away. Shouldn't he be unavailable in the game as he is in jail? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puevlo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Maybe you appealed his jail sentence and the FA overturned it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark67539 Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Also i got him for just £90 per week on a two year contract, although his bonuses for appearances and goals were pretty high. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayahr Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 The unavailability does not start before his jail sentence comes into effect, i.e. some time in November/December 2009. Until then you are able to play him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then sent one in to be ratified and signed by him. He signs and sends it back. Boom! He's yours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barkermush Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I signed Marlon King too, i thought the jail term had not come into effect on the latest patch. Just assumed he had only been sacked by Wigan and he was just a free agent on the current game. How wrong i was though, around November ish he becomes unavailble to play untill the end of the 2011 season [30th April 2011] (because he's in jail ) Oh well im not complaining i got him on a free & he was only on 5k a week, so i got a few months out of him.

Guest Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Surely there should be some note in his profile warning you that he will become unavailable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark67539 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Surely there should be some note in his profile warning you that he will become unavailable? There was the UNA symbol by his name in the search list, but nothing on his attribute, personnel or transfer status page. I'm now into November 2009 and he does indeed start a two year suspension on 30th October 2009, but this doesn't appear on his profie until that date. Luckily he's only on £90 per week basic wage.

Jolanthustrel Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Now you just need to pair him with Lee Hughes (Notts County) and you have have a Jailbird front line. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weden Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 yes mate I am. Did you start the game you're playing with it though? Using the 10.2 database? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cox Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 The thing with Marlon King is that he is currently going through appeals, plus things were still very sketchy as the data for 10.2 was being completed, Without knowing the outcome of these we couldn't really set him as being out for a certain length of time. The safest thing would be to remove him from the game but if he was released on appeal... well someone would complain that he wasn't there So for now he's in and it'll be looked at again in 10.3 when we should know exactly what's happening with him.

Mark67539 Posted December 25, 2009 Author Share Posted December 25, 2009 Now wondering why he's available all season on some people's games, yet on mine he is banned for 2 years from 30th October 2009, when we're all using the same patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
