It's 2022, I am the manager of PSG. Germany selects their best players for their qualifiers for the WC and it all looks normal until their WC selections where they choose a completely unknown squad with fake players (you know those players with the greyed out names) and then all the actual players all have a "1 Negative" on their Dynamics thing saying "Player is angry to not have been chosen in the WC squad after helping the team qualify". What's going on? It's only happening to Germany.

It annoys me when AI managers decide to just give a player their preferred squad number regardless of the situation. For example, Messi has just retired and their bench striker who plays like 8 games a season prefers the number 10 so its given to him. It really isn't realistic and I was wondering if anyone else feels the same and wants it moderated or am I just being over the top?

First photo is a pic of the whole screen, 2nd photo is a pic of me making a copy save to check what would happen if Ramos was stripped of captaincy and this is the email from Marcelo.

@FrazT this is the thread

Okay just did, thank u.

You can see on the photo that Ramos' name is faded and there is no circle apparent (on the Captain Selection) and I am not able to choose him as a Captain. However I am able to make him a Vice-Captain. Backstory: First season, he is default captain. Told the press I would keep Ramos as captain (if this info is necessary). I sold Kiko Casilla, Ramos got angry and I couldn't resolve it. I'm now not able to talk to Ramos. A few squad members talked to me about it and I managed to make half of them happy. Captain confirmation email comes in, and Ramos isn't an option on Captains but IS an option on vice captains. I have tried to see what would happen by removing his captaincy and I get an email from Marcelo saying he's angry again.

Picture shows update. So what's your verdict on this? Do you reckon it's a bug?

That's my best guess as well but I haven't continued the save just in case it's a bug. I'll just press the "Report Bug" button on the game and just save this file in case it is a bug then.

My game won't let me choose Sergio Ramos as my captain. The circle does not appear and his name is faded slightly compared to the other players (as you can see on the photo). However, I am able to choose him as a vice captain? Bit of a backstory: I sold Casilla and that pissed him off and he isn't talking to me, but does that mean I can't make him captain though?

omg good spot. thank you

Yes but does that mean only 8 new players per season or only 8 players IN TOTAL in the whole squad every season. I really dont know because if it is the first one, I haven't signed any new players yet (maybe it counts players new but signed before the save) and if it is the second one, my team has way more than 8.

This is what it reads. Just noting that I currently have more than 8 over-17 Chinese players in my team, but all are already in the squad when I made the save. My first chinese signing, Wu Lei, was cancelled because it states only 8 over-17 domestic (i think that means Chinese) per season. Maybe this means the club has 8 new chinese signings in real life when my save started?

it i the main team. i have just counted and they have way over 8. I havent even signed a domestic player yet, maybe it counts the signings made before the save

Does it mean I am only allowed to sign 8 per season or only have 8 players over-17 in my squad at any given time in the season?
