22 year old playing for Spain U21s :S

[RQ92]

I checked who scored for Spain U21s cos one of my players score and i noticed diego capel who i recognise from fifa 10. Anyway I clicked on his name and it says he is 22 and his birthday was about 1.5 months ago.

Its no big deal just want to know if its known bug or if SI need to be told.

is no bug, U21's are confusing, they dont go on age as such, they go on date of birth (like a school year at school) if you was 21 at the start of the new season, you are allowed to play u21 football for that season.

its not a bug. the criteria for an 'u21' player is that they are 21 or younger at the start of a tournament qualification campaign. In the case of the european u21 championship (qualification is 2 years) a player can be 21 at the start of the qualification process and by the time the finals come around he could be 23 and still be eligible for the u21 squad.

james milner played for england u21s aged 22 i believe
