[Maximum matchday loan numbers?]

There is no such limit IRL in Italy, as it is well reflected in game

Found that out as I'm now a few month into the season. It should still be stated though, rather than being left as a guessing game or having to google league rules outside of the game.

However it it is still a pretty big omission not to have this information detailed anywhere. As I have said previously, there is a limit in the EPL, but no way of finding out what this is. Not very helpful when you're building your squad in pre-season...

Reported as a bug.

Can see how many are allowed to be signed but nothing regarding the squad so i'd assume there is no limit on that basis.

Doesn't say that for the EPL either, but we know that's 5.

Seems this information is missing from the game!

I’ve managed fiorentina previously but cannot remember. It should say as the others have stated. I generally click the league, then the rules tab for clarification as well. 
 

“Clubs can only register four loans in total in one season and cannot sign more than one player from the same club on loan at any one time. There are no restrictions on numbers of players that can leave clubs on loan”. (Via google)

 

 

Indeed. Nothing there about how many loan players you can have in a matchday squad though

[Maximum matchday loan numbers?]

It should be stated in these places, but it's not as far as I can see...

I know it's 5 for EPL matches for example, but this isn't detailed in any of the places you list.

I've just taken a mega rebuilding job at Fiorentina, so will need some loan players to patch gaps this season. However I'm not super familiar with the leagues specific rules.

The problem I'm having is that I can find no mention of the rules around the maximum number of loan players I can have in a matchday squad. Unless I cant see for looking, this info doesn't seem to be detailed anywhere in game (until you select too many in your squad, by which time its a bit late!)

So if anyone knows on which screen this info is located, that'd be great - thanks.

[How many of you still use 2D Classic?]

I find 2D less stressful to watch. Much of the time in 3D I'm left scratching my head as to why the players are acting as they do. 2D makes it easier to make excuses for the times the ME goes haywire. The slow, on the spot, revolving of players in 2D continues to do my head in - it's been years and yet it's still in the game.

[Football Manager 2018 Announcement]

People never seem to learn; preorder at your peril. It's lamentable enough doing so when you actually know what you are getting, let alone when they are refusing to divulge any details whatsoever! 
 

I'll be awaiting the reviews before deciding whether to make a purchase as there is every chance FM18 could turn out to be just another glorified data update.

Anyone pre ordering should automatically lose their right to make any complaints they may have about the game on release. You bought it sight unseen, you're the mug.

Where are you getting that figure from?

Its not just worse stats though is it. It's more often than not one side utterly steam rollering another.

1) FM isn't RL (for better and worse)
2) The managers typically competing in FM aren't real managers either (they wish they would be)
3) They seem however, too missing the point of threads completely

I have no idea what point you are trying to make.

[Let's have a game of guess the score...]

I love how people point out the once per season something like think happens IRL as a justification for it happening weekly in FM.
