[League fixture postponements]

Hey @Dar2000

OK, that can happen in real life, and you're not the only team falling behind games played. But I see your point about fixture pileup. There is a reason for it, the cups you're in...

If you want to upload the save though I'll put it through some paces to check it levels out. While it can happen, I definitely don't think this amount of games in hand or behind should be regular.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your reply.

I appreciate that fixtures are regularly postponed for various reasons in real life but never the same team for the same reason each other week (Except for maybe Covid issues!)

However, I don’t recall an EPL team ever having weekend games postponed because of involvement in Europa League and certainly never to fall 4 games behind. I’d imagine fixtures get re-arranged so they play Thurs (Europa) - Sun (EPL) - Weds (League Cup).

The issue in FM seems to me to be when a team in Europa has League Cup games scheduled for the following Tues, the AI decides they can’t play Thurs - Sun - Tues so calls off the weekend game instead of trying to re-arrange things. 

I could be wrong but I’ll try upload the save for you to look at.

I am managing Everton and have fallen 4-5 league fixtures behind most other teams in the EPL due to games being postponed.

This seems to be mainly due to our involvement in the Europa League on Thursdays and having Carabao Cup games scheduled on the following Tuesday.

Very annoying bug as have a squad built to handle playing in the 3 competitions before Christmas and will result in fixture pile ups later in the season.

I turn their faces off and eventually it becomes difficult to distinguish real players from the newgens.

They are essential for long term games
