I'm having an issue with my most recent save. I've gone out and replaced essentially my entire starting youth and reserve teams with high-potential youngsters from all over the world. Now I'm left with two teams chock full of players that - if developed properly - could end up being world class...

Hello everyone. A while ago, I put some players from both my senior and U18 squad at Available for Reserve and then removed them after the reserve game. The problem is that only some of them left. I still have nine that are left stuck on the reserve squad list even though they aren't available...

Quick questions for you: 1. For Belgium, it says that the days have to be consecutive. What will happen when the loan expires? Do I have to loan them out that day? Basically will I lose the months they've already been in Belgium? 2. You mention offering new contracts to retry for a permit. How...

I hate making training schedules myself and am pretty bad at it. That leaves me two choices, downloaded training (Dunc and Raikan007 are my personal favorites) or a calculator like Pomey_Dan's. (NEW VERSION 4: Pompey_Dan's Training Schedule Calculator - FM Fanboys - Football Manager Forum) So...

I just started a Man Utd save and I'm having trouble deciding where to send my scouts. What would you recommend? Should I give them all around five countries that they keep rotating through or something along those lines?
