Player's weight keeps dropping dramatically for no reason

[Cherenkov]

So, I used the editor to transform three players from mine and a couple of mates' childhood teams into ourselves because it'd be fun to see how our careers developed and if we ever ended up playing for the national team together and such. I started us all at 17 (despite the fact that we're all nearly 30 lol)

Long story short, just like any other youth players, we all experience variations in weight, which is normal. However, for my OWN avatar, he keeps dropping from 72kg (my actual weight) to 62kg, constantly. I will manually change it back to 72kg, and within a week he'll be back at 62kg. I've tried bumping up my strength a bit and my natural fitness is 18, but neither worked. His height is the same as my own, 1.78m, for which 72kg is a great and normal weight.

I have absolutely no idea why this keeps happening and I'm tired of him looking like a skeleton every time I watch "myself" play in the visual engine.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Update: this time he has dropped to 56 (FIFTY-****ING-SIX) kilograms. That's 123lbs at 5'10. I'm practically anorexic.

It's not "no reason". You've changed attributes. Maybe you've changed CA/PA and other values - or maybe the problem is you HAVEN'T changed them.  You've made them out of kilter, and the AI is trying to make them logically consistent.

[Cherenkov]

First of all, I changed PA and CA accordingly and I've been monitoring the progress constantly. All of the attributes make sense and are consistent with height and weight. I have thousands of hours on FM games, I know what I'm doing. I didn't make us Messi-level players at 17. I've seen AI regen players that are infinitely better than we are at 17.

Second of all, I'm obviously well aware that there's a reason, hence why I'm asking here if anyone knows why it's happening. It was just an expression.

Thirdly, as stated in the post, neither of the other two avatars have this issue; just mine.

so what have you done differently on your one to the other 2? 

 

[Cherenkov]

Nothing, aside from the fact that we're all different roles (I play midfield, they play winger and striker). We did it together over Discord stream and we picked our stats together; everyone started around 100 CA (and I made sure the RCA and CA matched) and the attributes all make sense for our respective roles.

Bump...
