ADHarris97 Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Managing Arsenal, I've just realised that I've played Manchester United at Old Trafford both times in the league, i.e. I haven't had a home fixture against them. It appears to have happened to a few other fixtures too, and at the end of the season there are four teams who have played either an extra home or away fixture (two have played 20 at home and 18 away, and two - including me - have played 18 at home and 20 away).

XaW Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 The Christmas matches in the Championship in the 2031/32 season seems a bit off. I have 3 matches in 4 days. I have not gone anywhere in the EFL Cup, and no postponements that I can think of, so I can't see any reason for it. If it should be moved somewhere I assume some time between Jan 3rd and Jan 10th would be more suitable. I should add this game was created on the 1487510 version, so it could have been fixed later on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyedOutMan Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 I have only just noticed this (because Man U are my title rivals and I'm playing them at Old Trafford twice straddling a new year!), but for some reason I'm playing some teams twice at home and twice away (it's season 2025-26).

violentquiche1 Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hi, I’m halfway through a season, and I’ve noticed that a lot of fixtures are not reversing. For example, I’m having to play some teams away twice, and some teams at home twice. Is there a way that this can be fixed? thanks! *note Arsenal, Birmingham & Blackburn* 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianzizou Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Hi guys, i don't know where to post my problem. I play with Newcastle, i won Carabao on my first season, i got 5th place, and i didnt got a place on europa league! When the season ended on the table i was among the EC places, but later on i was not, and i didn't got any message or something about that.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
twirwin Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hello, I am having the same issue as enterprise1 and violentquiche1. I am playing some teams twice at home and some teams twice away. In addition to this, some teams in the league are playing more 19 home/away games. This is the year of the 2022 world cup so the change in usual fixtures might have something to do with this?

owaiin96 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 First post on this forum so apologies in wrong place. a player has come up on my scouting meeting as playing for an Eastern Counties D1S team called Holland (national team) Obviously I know it’s not a playable league but I believe it’s meant to be FC Clacton by a little Google search at who plays at that ground. I only play full game so I’ve not loaded any leagues or face packs or anything like that so it’s not an external problem. hope this helps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyBaldwin Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 From what I understood of the Covid-related measures introduced, the first season would involve leagues starting in September and finishing later in May, before the schedules adapted back to what a standard schedule would look like from the second season onwards. However, as the manager of Concord Rangers in the Vanarama South, I've been told my players are coming back on the 21st June 2021 for pre-season, which will last for 15 weeks before the season starts at the beginning of October. Presumably something isn't right here? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
danbird93 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 I've also got the Home/Away fixture bug occurring in my third season. Save was started in the Beta, it's especially bad as there are only 6 teams I'm actually playing Home and Away. Really hoping this can be fixed retrospectively as it has been a great save until now!

Noscho Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Not sure if this is related to Carabao Cup, Nations League or Premier League scheduling, but in my first season with Spurs, 4th round of Carabao Cup clashes with Nations League fixtures and basically becomes unplayable with so many players leaving for international duty.

None yet for saves started before the original fix came in, but it is being investigated experimentally to see if a retroactive fix can be worked in (normally this wouldn't be possible for issues with competitions in existing saves).

Edfoulds Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) Championship playoffs semi final first leg i was able to have 9 subs and use 5, as was the case with the rest of the reason but for the second leg, I'm only able to have 7 on the bench and use 3. I was able to have 5 from 9 for the final. Was the same in the other semi final. The league rules say it should be 5 from 9 for the playoffs.

It must be perhaps an error in the set-up for the comp. EFL-Trophy. Last year (FM2020) the draw for the group-stage was random form game to game.
