Okay, so I'm going to try and be as brief as I can but I'll set the scene...
I took over a Spanish B3 team and on my seventh season. Finished 3rd in La Liga last season, my third in the top division. Over the course of those three seasons I have managed to accumilate a pretty talented youth team based up of a few regens from my own setup but it is actually mainly players that I "poached" from those less fortunate. Some of them have excellent potential, the keeper is heralded as the next Gomes (as an Arsenal fan I'm not sure that's a good thing), one of my midfielders could be the next Sebastian Kehl and a striker possibly Djibril Cisse. I also have a hotshot Nigerian eighteen year-old who is banging them in and an eighteen year-old Liberian goalkeeper who has been a full international virtually since he was generated and both players have attracted interest from Real Madird and Barcelona.
Now the problem. At the start of this season around six of those players are too old for my youth team and have bene promoted to my first team. Thanks to some nifty transfer work I offloaded some of the older, less reliable players in my team and two of my youngsters fit straight into my starting eleven without a problem and one is good enough to make several appearances from the bench and provide cover if need be.
This leaves three players, including my Gomes-like goalkeeper, struggling to find a place in the team because they just don't have the ability at the moment to warrant playing even against some of the smaller clubs in the league. Yeah, I can play them in the cup but in Spain that's hardly any game time at all, especially if I get knocked out early. And despite offers from the likes of Hercules, Malaga and Valencia none of the sods will go out on loan!!!!
In other leagues these players go to the reserves. However, because I came from a low Spanish League my "B" team is just a load of greyed-out players and they haven't actually played a game since they played my first team in my first-ever game! I can't even arrange a fixture for them for some reason!
Now, is this a glitch that my B team is unable to play a game or is this because I started in a low league that they're just "non-league" so to speak? There IS a "squad registration" option on the team, so could I buy a load of rubbish, cheap players and stick them in the B team, register them and then have a team that could play matches? Or is this it and I don't have a B team and just have to pick and choose my young talent and then let go the ones that get promoted but won't make an impact for a few years because I can't give them the game time?
I don't pretend to know anything about the editors or whatever but, if I can't get a B team legitimately, could I use an editor to put my B team into a lower league to compete?
Thanks in advance for any help!
