Hmmm,.... retired my B team manager on the Friday. The B team was due to play on the Sat. The players were still unavailable, so they had to play all the (terrible) fake but available players on the Sat. Then the B team had a game on the Wed. So the new 'game' manager asked what players I (as Barcelona manager) could make available, dropdown menu included an option to make the Barcelona B players available - which I did. Now their squad is available as normal. Left them for a couple weeks, they played away in the background as normal quite happily. Added another B-team manager. Players unavailable again. I couldnt find any way of requesting players be made available by Barcelona, so I put the B-team manager on holiday, and the computer sent me (as Barcelona manager) a request to make players available for the B-team - which I did. Came back from holiday, and theyre still available. So, Ive maybe been an idiot and missed how to request Barcelona make players available to me as B-team manager.~ Regardless, the solution seems to be to go on holiday and hope the game sorts it out for my return. Annoying, but sort of resolved. Cheers

Aye, i can play as him. I've added a New Manager, gone to Barcelona B and pressed 'Take Control', and I've gone between the two human managers using the 'Change User' toggle. Hoping that's apparent from the attached screenshot. Not sure if relevant, but once I add the new manager, the only available players are fake players who are all listed as 'Trained at Club'. All the real players are listed as 'Trained in Nation'. Dunno if thats just coincidence. If i go on holiday, resign, or retire as the new manager, the real players remain unavailable.

Thanks for the reply, but i dont follow? Under Barcelona Atletic staff, the new manager i added is named as 'Manager', and its that manager im viewing the squad with (showing the players as unavailable), and the former manager Luis Enrique is now showing as unemployed. Sorry if im being daft, what hav i missed?

Hello, I've scoured the internet for the last few days and got nowhere, so am trying this. I'm managing Barcelona, I've added a manager to take over the B team so that I can ensure certain players are getting a regular game in certain roles. But as soon as I add a manager, all the B team players become unavailable. Am I just not able to manage B teams in Spain in this game? Its FM10, and it happens with or without the patch. Also worth mentioning it happens in my current game, and if I start a new game where I am only managing Barcelona B. Added a couple pics, just a screenshot of Barcelona B 'before' I add a manager, and 'after'. Cheers

Am back playing FM2010, wanted to give Ibra a proper season at Barcelona. Just finished season and was looking back at matches throughout the year to gauge the effect of changes in tactics, but I cant open a heap of match reports. It gives me the option to, but I click 'Select to view the match report' and nothing happens. Seems to only open the reports for matches up to c.3 mths previous, nothing any older than that. Is that normal?? Was sure they were available for the full season! Am on an old laptop and wary its 'compromising' my game, but cant find anything anywhere to confirm how long the reports should be available. A small thing, but driving me nuts. Cheers
