a.panda Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I am in 2016 and I have found out that my shortlist is still filled with retired players and those who stayed in the game to be staff. Out of the 155 shortlisted entities I have 44 of them. Some had stayed on the list since their retirement in 2014. Anyone knew why this happened and how could I get around the problem? There are no right click menus for those "removed" from the game, and no option to remove from shortlist for the now-staff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pafeu Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 I have a workaround - you have to tick retired players and at least one active player on the shortlist, after that remove from shortlist option shows up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius! This has been a problem of mine for countless FMs! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genius x2! Thanks for the workaround, it worked just like magic. Though, I'd be also interested to know if this is something SI can improve... Or was it just my (and 9sublime's) problem?

Cougar2010 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yes its a pain even with the workaround. Would be good if players were automatically removed when they retired. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakobx Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Awesome tip. Never thought of trying that. It's sad that this bug has been in FM for years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.panda Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 I have tried using the aforementioned method, yet there are a few that are stubborn enough to remain on the shortlist. And worryingly a few who I deliberately removed, are still shown on the list visually. e.g. I had scouted an unattached Vagner Love a year ago, removed it from the shortlist a few months later when he signed for a Brazilian team. And now I found him on the list visually. I clicked on him and he is not in my shortlist in practice. (please see pic if confused) I have a few players showing the same pattern, and all of them have staff attributes developed whilst they are still playing. I am not sure if this leads to the mess, but I can't help linking both facts... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.panda Posted January 11, 2014 Author Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have found a way to get around the problem once and for all, courtesy to a friend of mine. Create a shortlist, move all wanted names to the new list, and clear the old list. Not ideal, yet did the trick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
