therubberducky Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Im in a long term game playing as Inter right now. I noticed a few seasons ago that both my reserves and U18 werent involved in any league and as such had no fixtures. This is a royal pain in the ass for my younger and back up players and fitness etc. Is there something Ive missed that has seen me kicked out? I dont remember ever rejecting the chance to play in them. Is there any way to get back in? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 In Italy, you should have an Under-20s League - I think you're automatically entered. There is no Reserves league - you're supposed to loan out, sell rights (co-ownership) or sell players that are too old for the Under-20s, although the Under-20s League has provisions allowing you to field a limited number of overage players (presumably to help players in the first-team get fitness again).

ahmufcwafc Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I know for sure that there is no reserves league in Italy irl. There should be u18 fixtures though, not sure what happened there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Shanahan Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Do you get asked if you want to submit a team to the U-20's league at the start of every season. If you do always say yes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Very odd. You should have an U20 league (allowed 2 overage players). Not having a reserve league is an absolute gift. I don't understand people not liking it. It's great for having your players at the top of their fitness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Not when i have a squad of 26 and need to keep people match fit That's why it's a gift!! Set-up friendlies taylored to your 1st team fixture list. Much better than the British set-up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even when I'm in England, I turn down any invitation to a reserve league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Yeah, even when I'm in England, I turn down any invitation to a reserve league. Friendlies are much better for 1st team fitness I have my doubts over any benefits your fringe players get in a reserve league set-up anyway. In Italy I arrange the friendly for Monday. The player(s) is then match fit for the next weekend; possibly even to sit on the bench in a midweek game. In a reserve league, your players would just not have the same level of fitness for the next weekend matchday Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Shanahan Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I cant remember being asked since ive been in charge. You're not using an edited database are you? sometimes an edit can have unintended consequences. Not having an underage league is a drag, I feel for you.

david22 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 In italy you can play 2 over-20's players in the under-20's league so theres another way for players to regain fitness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try wait until next season, if still doesn't appear then there's nothing you can do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelbVictory Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 There is definitely an u20 league that is automatic. No entry required. Very odd.You should have an U20 league (allowed 2 overage players). Not having a reserve league is an absolute gift. I don't understand people not liking it. It's great for having your players at the top of their fitness. About 20 seasons into a career game in Italy and thats the first I have heard of overage players in u20's. Do'h Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotWordsButDeeds Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 About 20 seasons into a career game in Italy and thats the first I have heard of overage players in u20's. Do'h LOL It can come in handy sometimes. I like to keep a bare squad in the U20s, 15-17 y/os, ones with good potential. But sometimes a loan offer will come in unexpectedly that I want to take up, leaving me without a player fot a certain position. Then all that needs done is to put in an old player who I'm just retaining for a future staff role or tutoring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
x42bn6 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Under-20s feels a lot more natural than Under-18s too, because you're guaranteed to get a good number of games at that awkward age of 19-20 (not everyone gets to go on loan at 19 in England, for example).
