Hi all,
Regular listener, first time caller. Thanks to this forum for the help I've received

I've found in the last few transfer windows that a few of my u23 players are being automatically transfer listed and their values set to £0.
Has anyone else come across this or know of a setting that will stop it happening?

First time poster here. Was looking for help with the exact same issue, except for my first team.
For me, I decided to let some prime-aged players run out their contracts rather than sell them as I looked to maintain league position while my wonderkids matured elsewhere.
6 months before contract expiration, I started getting messages from my Assistant Coach saying "player has no reason being transfer listed", as well as players getting unsettled by being xfer listed ('considering his options'). I could not figure it out. I would set, advance the game, and find them mysteriously set back to being xfer listed. This was frustrating.
After some tinkering/deep-diving though, I found that the General Manager was forcing the players to be transfer listed. The only way I could find to prevent this from happening was by firing the GM, which I did. I now have no GM and handle all the contracts myself, which is a bit tedious at times, but necessary if you want things to work out properly. I feel like this is either a bug, or a design oversight.
Not sure if this has been fixed in FM19, but I'm fairly unconvinced it's worth $50 USD extra to find out just yet... Still having a great time playing FM18
