jcp1417 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I am not sure how to feel about the reserve teams for Bundesliga. They don't play any games that I can see. Should I keep my good prospects away from there? Since i never get any emails about them, will my 1st team players ever be able to get match fitness?

jcp1417 Posted February 16, 2019 Author Share Posted February 16, 2019 So for this option...None of my first team players played and games for Stuttgart II when they needed match fitness. Is something broke or am I just not understanding it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nie jem frytek Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Quote Reserve teams at this level are generally run as under 23 side and have U 23 attached to their name as special exceptions apply to the use of under 23 players in both the first and second teams. While senior players can not be freely moved between the individual teams of clubs and require a four-game stand down period between team moves this rule is relaxed for under 23 players.

Thank you for the response, but I should have been more clear. I know what the II sides are used for in a real world sense. but I'm having questions about how it works in FM as stated by my questions above.

It's because the 2nd teams play in the lower leagues that aren't in FM, but they still act as if games are being played in terms of development. If you want to increase fitness, try arranging some friendlies yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if I send my more advanced prospects there, will they still develop appropriately? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can arrange friendlies for the 2nd Team in the schedule/calendar tab. As for prospects, remember that they'd only be playing 4-5th tier football, so that might be appropriate for them, but otherwise you'd either need to play them in or around your first team, or loan them out.

WorcesterLegend Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Kinda, i don't know if Germany has a u18/u23 league like in england, but normally u18 plays with other u18 teams, so your prospects will play better football as my u18 team has mostly Championship/L1 level players i guess it is better to get them on u18 with 2nd and 3rd tier players around than make them play on 4th-5th tier of the league system, im comparing to england system so idk if the comparison is accurate or not Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigmatic Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 2nd teams sometimes randomly promote to the third tier at the beginning of a new season if they have high enough reputation. It's a mixture of luck and their starting reputation - not sure the players you send them or any boosts to the first team reputation from your own performance has any effect Wolfsburg II got promoted in my current Germany save, and Stuttgart II are significantly higher reputation. Four teams get promoted every year, and the top B teams have a better reputation than most of the regional league sides, so if you really wanted to make sure Wolfsburg II got promoted you could probably just save and reload a lot of times around season end date when the divisions reset (June 14 IIRC) until Wolfsburg II appear in the new season's 3. Bundesliga table. (Unless it's hard-coded to stop player-controlled teams getting promoted because possibility of bugs etc.) 2nd teams aren't allowed to play in Bundesliga 2. or higher; even if they top the table someone else gets promoted instead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasoKuul Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 2nd team can play in third tier, you can also use a lower league file (needs restart) so that these play in 4th and 5th tier: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1564750393 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
