Is there any way to ask a young player eligible for your club's country's nationality, to actually go and get it?

Players from worse countries (obviously subjective here, but let's talk football rankings), still have the "sees no benefit" status. It's a bit annoying.

You're fine to carry on with your save. 

Thank you!

I can use my Early Access save on the full game, but just to make sure, no new save is needed for all the changes to be in effect? The other thread about previous versions needing a new save got me a bit scared, so would like to make sure.

There's actually a chance since IRL the II teams can be a league below their 'parent' team, in my save Bytovia went from the IV Liga to the I liga though it did take some time, and I have never seen a II team in the I liga, it's a 10 year save so far, but technically it should be possible. 

True, but I don't think they will be able to promote 2 divisions when you're actually managing the team? Since you can only do friendlies. Would actually love to have an answer on this from the dev. team.

Very much enjoying the game so far, after not playing the last few editions. However:

Still cannot believe how it hasn't been fixed that some newly 18yr olds can come in and a few months later they already start jawing at me that they're not getting enough playing time or whatever and a talk with them will only escalate things further. I even have Discipline set at 20 and my guy has one of the highest reputations. And no, they didn't get the "Star Player" or "Important Player" status set with their contracts.

Also, one of my best players, who currently is on a contract without a release clause, is consistently asking for a new contract. Fair enough, since he's a better player than when he was signed. However, his agent nonstop has the "will allow the player to treat the club as a stepping stone" promise set a non-negotiable, so the new contract will have a release clause. Again, fair enough, kinda. So every time I walk away, my player gets annoyed that I walk away from the screen and tells me I broke a promise. When I need to talk to him, the only option is "I promised to make you an offer, it's not my fault that you rejected it. That's the end of the matter as far as I'm concerned". Surely you should be able to talk to the player and/or agent to talk about the release clause or whatever. At least give us the option, if he doesn't want to budge or negotiate a higher salary to remove the release clause, whatever, but it just seems like very lazy 'player interaction' development. Not to mention, the release clause is so laughably low that he would be gone instantly with the next transfer window. Useless.

 

All in all, absolutely loving the game for the most bit, but can't believe still loads of the player interaction stuff is still so lackluster.

Their 2nd team plays in the Polish Third Division Group I, but it's inactive in game so I'm not sure how the game handles inactive leagues exactly but I know they do play matches. (Technically I guess the competitive league would be better for development)

If the first team makes the CL, then the under 18s will be eligible for the CL under 19s games, I think- that's what happens in my game, so I leave the top talent in the under 18s to get competitive and international experience.

 

 

Thank you for your answers. I assume there is no chance my Legia II team will ever make it to the I Liga, since I actually control the team?

Hi all,

I started a save in FM22 with Legia Warszawa and apparently their 2nd team does play any sort of competitive football, except for friendlies throughout the season. They also have an U18s team that play in their respective U18 league.

Now I was wondering if my best U18 players should be playing the friendlies in the 2nd team or should they be playing competitive games against (usually) weaker opposition in their U18 division.

Which would be more beneficial to their development, or is it negligible?
