available for youth games

I think it's been this way for a long time, but why do the youth team managers not listen to your requests of playing first teamers for match fitness? Sometimes they do, most of the time they don't. 

I don't know how it works IRL, but wouldn't a U23 manager have to listen to the first team manager's request to play someone? Or is it at their discretion?

Are you talking about youth team or U23?

In U23, your players are nominated as available to play, but i assume if the U23 manager is in charge of teams selection for that side, then he can play whoever he wants. Also, i think in most U23/reserve sides, they might have a limit on how many players over 23 they can play per game. Is there match fitness good enough to run out a whole game?

I guess in real life, most players good enough to play in the first team, would be walk ins for the U23's as well

If you have a  youth team manager then I suppose that they will want to pick their own team even allowing for the manager's requests although I agree that this shouldn't really happen if you are the boss.  To get round this, make the players available then as soon as you have done this, go into the youth teams tactics page and select the players and they the team should start as you have selected.

Right, U23 team. Fair enough if the U23 manager gets final say in his team, but I'm not sure that's how it is IRL. In any top league if a player is returning from injury they'd get priority in any game the first team manager wanted. I could see somewhere like Spain where reserve teams are a bit more autonomous, but even there the main team has full rights to any player there.

how do you STOP unfit senior team players from automatically being selected to the U23 team?

There is an option in their availability tab to make available until fit, so you need to uncheck that
