Henry Shepherd Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steff13 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 as I see, you can have maximum 8 U-17 domestic players in your squad, not to sign. But I don't understand, is it the main team of SIPG, or some kind of reserve or youth one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Neil Brock Posted August 9, 2018 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2018 You should be able to get a better explanation of what the rule is if you go to the Competition page, then click the 'Overview' dropdown -> Rules. I would interpret as just 8 in the squad, but it may just be a problem with the phrasing. I don't know the Chinese league rules off the top of my head, but if they're not clear in the game let me know and I'll have a dig around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobby_McDonald Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Seems a strange rule to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Yuki Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Domestic players = players from the country you play in. It means you can only sign 8 over-17 players from teams in China, or players based in China, per season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Well it's under the Transfers section, so I would imagine that it is max 8 per season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read someone complaining the same a few years back, and the conclusion by then was, yes, the real life signings before you started the game do count somehow. There isn't an easy way of telling how many transfers were recorded by the game, so it is a mystery to every human manager in charge. On the other hand, max. 8 domestic over-17 transfers, and max 5 domestic over-21 transfers means only 5 slots for over-21s every season (in those two windows), and 3 more slots for 17-20 years old. Or you could spend all slots on 17-20 years old, however you cannot make any over-21s signings (your 5 o21 slots are unused but your 8 o17 slots would be filled). Returning loans don't seem to count as a "transfer". IIRC loan signings, as well as buy-and-loan-out options count towards these slots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
