FM 2007 - infinite reserve ban bug

I don't suppose there's any way around it. >_> I have a player who has been serving a 'one' match ban for '4 yellow cards' all season even though he joined in the summer and thusly hasn't played a game. Fortunately he's turning 24 so he'll be in the first team next season anyway.

Whassupwidat?

Of course I'm patched, silly.

Not sure. Why has him turning 24 got any relation to his inclusion in your first team? You got a policy?

Indubitably. Players up to and including 25 years old can be annoyingly inconsistent and when a player reaches 24 (or younger if he's very, very good) they get really ****y about being in the reserves and made available for loan because he instantly can't be classed as 'young'.

So I usually just keep players in the reserves and sent out on loan until they're 24 or when they give very good performances when they get a shot in the first team due to injury.

I believe the FMM editor from that version can remove bans and suspensions, although no idea where that can be found nowadays.

Hmmm. *strokes imaginary beard*

Even if FMM can't remove the bans, you could clone the player.

How does that work? How to do it?

Swap all the player's attributes and details with another player and swap their teams, the other player will get the permanent ban.
