I'm currently playing in Italy (AC Milan) with the most up-to-date version of the game. I don't have any mods downloaded and don't have the 'Sat/Weds games only' option selected.
On several occasions, I've had key fixtures (Serie A play off, Champions League games) scheduled during international breaks. This has left me without key players for key games.
I've never had this issue before - is there a fix for this issue as this is a game-breaker?
