creating own friendlies and managing youth team

[hulkius]

Hi, I'm playing this FM 19 edition for the 1st time in years.

In the last edition I played (10 years plus ago), it was possible to

A - create your own friendlies/pre-season schedule - is this possible now? (it seems that in FM19 the AI of the game does this for you automatically, although you do have an option to mange the u23/u18s if you want to in friendlies once the AI has arranged them) .

B - manage the U18's for competitve games instead of the U18 manager? - it looks like in FM you can only manage the U18's in friendlis and your U18 manager by defaut always manages them in competitve games - can you change this?

Thanks for any help you can provide

You can delete or add friendlies in the schedule screen.

Staff then responsibilities means you can change what you manage or deligate

Thanks for your help much appreciated.

1. How do you get to the schedule screen?

2. When I do staff then responsiblities, the default setting is whomever the U18 manager is and its in shadow it doesn't allow me to change it - is this possible? (presumely a way around it, is to sack the u18 manager so that no one is automatically set as a default?)
