done, it's called 'MUFC wembley issue'

Thanks for that. Do you have a save from before the games are played? Would be great if you had one as far back as the quarters.

This is the Premier League Team of the year after the first season, with 9 out of 11 players from United, including players that I feel didn't deserve to be a part of that team, considering there were many players with better match ratings.

That certainly doesn't look right. Could you provide us with a save game that shows this issue? Would be better if you have one before this strange Team of the Year is generated. Here's how to upload:

I don't know it is bug or not but from year to year there is less and less young players in youth teams. I remember that around 2028 top ENG teams have like 6-9 players in U-19 teams but now in 2032 all U-19 looks like below - no players or only like 1-2 players. Also I don't know how it looks in other leagues like FRA, ITA or SPA.

Fulham U-18 --> only 2 players

 

Chelsea U-18 --> no players, everyone in grey

 

 

Thanks for that, we're aware of this issue and working on it.

@Stephen GlennonI don't have a save before unfortunately, but I already uploaded a save for another issue, the name is " no bale for wales.fm " but it is after the annoucement of the team.

Also, I have some issues with the Premier League schedule.

I have noticed a problem regarding games postoponed for teams in Europa League . A lot of league games are postponed because teams play on thursday in Europa League. In my save this leads to Sheffield Utd and West Ham playing 8 games in december instead of 5 for the other teams that are not in Europa League. You can see below all the games that were postponed for me, sometimes it's just sunday instead of saturday so it's OK, but for the games vs Bournemouth and Liverpool it's weeks later.

Another thing I noticed is that the games don't follow the usual schedule with 1 game on friday, 3 or 4 games on saturday and sunday and 1 or 2 games on monday. In the second season it seems there is only one game in total that has been played on monday between august and december, and sometimes there is only one game on sunday or none at all.

And finally, on Saturday December 18th there should be all teams playing, but there are only two games set for this day (and none on Friday or Sunday).

Again I'm sorry but I don't have a save before the fixtures were set

Possible Carabao / EFL Cup - draw date issue (stuck it here as it seemed like the most logical place I could find)

Once getting past the Quarter Finals, I've noticed that the draw takes place a couple of days later - which usually wouldn't be a problem, but in my save it is scheduled for 25 December 2020. I know that the draw (IRL) has taken place in all sorts of places such as supermarkets, but having a Christmas Day cup draw would be a bit odd, even for Carabao!

unfortunately I use a 3 file rolling auto save after matches so I don't

Old dates are wrong

[cfc_craig_a_cfc]

After only 8 games in league, I have already played West Ham and Chelsea twice.

I've noticed 2 scheduling issues in my first season with Leicester...

1 - two games in just over 36 hours (Thursday night Europa League, Saturday early Premier League kick-off). Luckily the U23s could do the job against Zorya.

2 - we are scheduled to play Leeds back to back home & away, both league games, within 3 days

[wayno10]

What was reported above happened to me too - in the first season played Leeds home and away over the Christmas period on 26th and 28th Dec.

EFL increase subs to 5. Will this be in the full release?

I have won the Vanarama National League and i recive a message that only 20 players won the medal and i have more players that play more then one game so there for they should won the medals 

[BenW.]

For some reason, my under-23 team for Newcastle United were placed in the English U23 Division 3 in 2022/23 season , despite winning promotion from the U23 Premier League Division 2 the previous season, meaning they should be in Division 1.

I have uploaded a save called 'newcastle2023' so you can investigate the issue - although I'm already a few months into the season so not sure if it is much use. Cheers!

A  minor thing but a bug nonetheless.

Playing as FC United of Manchester in the VNN, my Competition Expectation screen has come up for the new season.  The board expect me to reach the first round of the F. A. Trophy.  I enter the competition in the second round with the new way the F. A. organise it.

Premier League game scheduled a game on a Saturday after a Europa league game  on a thursday, should be only scheduled on sundays or monday 


also the following week had games scheduled Sat-Tue-Thurs

Edited November 19, 2020 by Pollok1908

[tarolo_7]

Not true.  Whilst unusual, it is not unheard of.  Newcastle played at midday on the Saturday away to Wolves after playing the Thursday night, less than 48 hours previous.

[bencoleman]

I finished a year with Aston Villa and now there seems to be issues registering players for the new season. I have only one signing that it doesn't work for. But I've just played Leicester and their entire first team squad were unregistered, and I played a youth team. Seems like most teams in the league have the same problem. 

[Netluh]

I got a match in Carabao Cup 4th round during national brake which means I don't have any players for it

[fm2020.smith]

not sure if ok to post in here but fixture list in england if you champions league on wed you normally play sunday but the game has you playing saturday.

actually this is true as real life fixtures are congested due to the pandemic and in game we are not

2nd Season with Bath City, all Pre Season Friendlies are in the middle of September after the season starts on Jul 31st.

The Pre Season friendlies were not even agreed with Asst Manager until Jul 23rd, so no time for any Pre Season games.

I’m not sure if it’s even a bug but now in the second season fixtures should be back to normal in the prem and championship but there’s still every game bar sporadically 1 match being played on a Saturday at 3pm (excluding midweek matchweeks). Feel like there should be rescheduling due to TV and Europe.

[shac33]

According to the rules of the Premier League 5th should have qualified for the Euro Cup, however Chelsea received entry to EC instead.  6th place is contingent on the winners of the FA cup.  5th place should have received entry, rather than 6th.

[Munnersstfc]

Looking at other teams this is the Bournemouth squad 1 week before start of the 2nd season? Barely any players...

Only a few Under 18s as well

 

 

[alibabaissofat]

It isn't possible to hire certain scouts in the premier league because of the work permit rules. Work permit requires the scouts to have coaching badges (e.g. continental pro license), but scouts generally do not have coaching badges. This means regardless of how good the scout is, it's impossible for me to hire him, so please get rid of the work permit system for scouts (and possibly any other coaching/recruitment role which do not involve coaching badges).

[Ben Taylor]

Hello there i have the same problem with premier league schedule as you can see here i play newcastle and wolves in a very short period of time early on in the season

 

[Eeza]

All teams have registered U23 players and not their best players. What do I need to do?

[Manu_41]

It is impossible to play this game under these rules.

 

 

Brexit rules are killing me. I have 2 million to spend and i can't sign foreign players, who wants to come to my club because of the Brexit rules.

 

 

I have found this gem he is perfect for my team but i can't sign him..

 

[Friki97]

So as it stands,  I don't have a league game in 2 weeks and my games with Villa and Everton are moved into the 2nd half of the season.In the same time, some of the other teams also have blank gameweeks, including Villa and Everton just about now.

I uploaded a Jakov Friscic - Chelseav2test22.fm save file on the cloud if you need to take a look

No, they disbanded due to cost-cutting. I'm surprised you can't ask though.

@Stephen GlennonTried restarting Steam, the laptop, the game etc etc. I have saved on MD4 of season 2 (don't have other back up saves). All squads have similar type registration to this. U23 players, no stars etc, but is there a fix to this? I also don't know how to upload my save file on here, the instructions don't make sense to me.

Just got to play offs for National League - (season 2022-23) 

This isn't how the play-offs work - unless they're changing in time for 2022-23

 

How the top 7 finished

 

This is how the playoffs should pan-out

 

Yet in the season I've just played this is the play off structure

The semi final stage is wrong -  Chesterfield (2nd)  and Barnet (3rd) should be in different Semi Finals

It should have been

Chesterfield v Hartlepool

Barnet v Ebbsfleet

 

 

[JTyger]

So I'm in year two of managing Crystal Palace & I noticed that teams that should be in JUST the Champion's League(European Champions Cup) are in the Europa League (EURO Cup) too. This is in version 21.0.0-1476964(m.e v21.1.0.0)

My save is too big to post.

[JTyger]

Summary: Teams in the top 4 of the Premier League end up in both European Competitions 

Description of Issue: Teams that should JUST be in Champions League are in Europa League as well

Steps to Reproduce: Run two season in the Premier League and look to see if the teams that finished 2nd - 4th are in the EC competition as well as the ECC competition

Ummm, I'm pretty sure they are in the Second Knockout Round in Europa League as a result of finishing on the 3rd place in UCL Group Stage, aren't they?!

You'll have to raise this with your local Member of Parliament I'm afraid, Brexit rules are working as intended in the game.

Something doesn't seem quite right there alright. Could you upload a save game for us to take a look at? Before the final league game of the season would be preferable if possible. Thanks.

The "Brext Bug".

I know we have had an explanation that the WP system for the UK is correct, but I can't help but think its broken. I can't believe that players like Sandro Tonali can't qualify for a permit to play in England on £75k a week? My suspicion is that the work permit is using the selling club as criteria for the work permit - ie it lis looking at their contact at the selling club, as well as the league reputation at the selling club rather than that of the buying club and the new contract offer. The reason I say this, is when I have signed players without a work permit, one is always granted at the first attempt to get one even when they have played no games for me or their country in the interim.

There has to be a bug or these game rules cannot be correct as it's making signing young players, even for hefty transfers and contracts, impossible.

The player below is an example of this. But also read what it says. I have had his application accepted (after 120 day wait) but it says below, that he would fail an appeal due to his N/A wages? This is clearly broken and needs looked at

There's nothing wrong with the game, the game just mimics the real-world rules that occur with Brexit. Part of the fun is to figure out how to make it within those rules.

[BenW.]

Something I've noticed - in the FA Cup Second Qualifying Round (and all Qualifying Round) the real-life draw is always regionalised into north, midlands and south (sometimes even north west, north east etc), however I've just seen Warrington from the north west play against AFC Sudbury from Suffolk.

Is this a bug or does the coding not allow the regionalised draws?

Duplicated friendly fixtures on 1st round Carabao Cup Day

Managing Derby County I have a duplicated friendly showing for 5/9/2020 which, in real-life, was the date of the Carabao Cup 1st Round.

Note: I had this issue on the Beta as well and reported it.
