All the MLS ones have now been updated. I will swing through the D2-D3 ones when I have a chance.

Hi - long time no speak!

You should also be able to swap it with St Louis (or do a create a club). I enjoy swapping new created teams out for St Louisso you can also enjoy the expansion experience.

Position does need corrected, thank you for spotting that. I'll discuss the attribute ratings with the LAFC AR (and probably the Canadian HR as well).

Could this be related to the inability to offer non-MLS contracts to B team players?

This is instantly reproduceable at start up. Start a new game in MLS. Go to Dev Center. Whitecaps academy doens't have staff listed. If you go to the Staff tab, it's only the B team. If you go to the b team and again go to the staff tab, it will list BOTH the B team and Academy team. But if you select the academy it just goes to the Roster screen. Pretty sure the inability to see Academy staff was logged last year. I uploaded Al Jarov - SOAK 2027.12.032 to illustrate.

It is there at start up. If you start a new career game, select North America > USA - then St. Louis City will be there as a playable option from day 1 in FM23 (which is January 2022).

I looked at this myself and can confirm the issue appears on most of the teams I looked at (Not Philadelphia, they were 0 - and only have 1 DP for reference). I'm not sure at first glance what the issue is. It doesn't appear to be related to injured players. It doesn't appear to be strictly DPs (there can be 3 DPs on a team and only 2 seem to be tied to the number). GUaranteed contract was my best guess last night when I looked, but if that is the case there's some discrepancies between who is set as guaranteed in ORDB and who appears so in game. It's also only impacting DP players as far as I can tell. Untested theory - might be something to do with the new U22 rule?
