DWCallaghan Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Small thing. So I am FC Bayern, ( go them to get to know the game mechanics and Coaching badges up to Gold ) and I asked for an affiliate club. Season 3 Board said ok, been no since start, and I get Colchester. So, that might be ok, I expected a lower League German club, but no worries. But, can we actually see in a menu anywhere who the Affiliated clubs are ? Thought they might be listed in General info, but can't see them? TIA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Alari Naylor Posted November 26, 2020 SI Staff Share Posted November 26, 2020 They are in Finances - we had to move them from our original location in the UI - looking to see if we can find somewhere better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewDriverNo1 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Is it possible to cancel an affiliation with a club and are there any plans to allow us to choose our own affiliate clubs in the future? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't cancel an affiliation presently - but you can choose not to take advantage of the benefits of it if you so choose. I'll definitely consider allowing users to choose affiliates in the future - but there would have to be restrictions to prevent me selecting Barcelona as a Brighton feeder club obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll definitely consider allowing users to choose affiliates in the future - but there would have to be restrictions to prevent me selecting Barcelona as a Brighton feeder club obviously It would be great to be able to pick the affiliate, or maybe even just the League or level of affiliate you want, but I'm presuming that would be a big change that would take a while to get in the game. In the meantime, would it possible to get a Yes/No event to confirm the affiliation? Ie, "The board is planning to enter into discussions with Colchester about an affiliate arrangement. Do you feel they would make a good partner? Y/N". That way we wouldn't end up with affiliations we're never going to use. I'm guessing some people will try and try again until they get a club that suits, and they may have collected a dozen that didn't fit! 😄 So if there was a way to say No before they became an affiliate, then it would prevent a long list of affiliate clubs in the 'offer player to clubs' section. Just an idea though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted November 27, 2020 SI Staff Share Posted November 27, 2020 That's fair enough and I'll see what I can do - it won't be in the first couple of patches though as those will be resolving critical issues (and do also bear in mind I need to reacquaint myself with both sleep and my family after several months of working long hours getting the game ready for release ). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

j0sharp Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 This is most likely going to be a stupid question, but how to do I send my players on loan to my affiliate? I can’t seen an option in ‘actions’, do I have to wait for the transfer window to open? I have no loan restrictions in place though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Marc Vaughan Posted November 27, 2020 SI Staff Share Posted November 27, 2020 The 'loan to affiliate' is a 'type' within the offer - you'll get to pick the affiliate to send them to, the players will sometimes refuse to go if they deem the affiliate is too small.

AndrewDriverNo1 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Obviously number one choice would be to be able to pick our own, I haven’t once been offered a Scottish one yet 🙄 but could it be that at least we were only offered choices from loaded leagues? Seems pointless sending players to clubs who don’t play any fixtures.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check but I believe you can be offered them in inactive leagues - as you'd expect they'll simulate matches while there (as the clubs own players do) so they will be active.

Could you also think carefully about the possibility of paying to improve the facilities of the affiliated clubs? Since it makes perfect sense to want the best possible facilities available to my young player, even if I have to pay for it. Sorry English, I'm using a translator.

If you can find an example of a club doing this in real-life then I'll consider putting it into the game. PS - Your English is great ... google translate is pretty solid in the main, what I generally do is translate in both directions if it still comes out legibly then you know it's fairly solid (to translate say French to English, then put the English in and translate it back to French ... if its still understandable you know the translation is most likely sound).

TheBallBoy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi there, I’ve come across a bug. I’ve taken over Udinese and the club has nine affiliate teams. When loaning a player to an afíliate the maximum teams displayed in the widget is eight. Without the ability to see all teams (scroll bar?) or remove the affiliate relationship im unable to loan out players to that club. it wouldn’t be a big deal but the ninth club is the only one that don’t pay their players in spaghetti as the rest of the teams are dreadful.

Wow how have you got 9 clubs i have asked my board every 6 months and they wont agree past 5 it sucks as only 2 of them are any use to me and 1 of them is a parent club when i was lower league i have now passed the league and there is no use to them being part of my group now. Really can't wait for an option to cancel links. 4 ways that the affiliate programme can be improved 1. You can cancel links. 2 you can make a suggestion to the board who you would like to join up with. 3. You can request they look in a certain for a link and this in return can help you at the youth programme promotion at the start of the season as you may get a youngster from this country. 4. You can set up a loan club that can help you get players work permits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBallBoy Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I’ve got no idea mate. When I took over they already had them and I’ve never been able to get more than 5 in any of my other saves. I agree with the first two. I think they’d be quick wins to significantly improve the afíliate option. The final two seem like a lot of work for the mobile version which is supposed to be a ‘light’ version of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosdan_bachok Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hello sir, Is FM working on ‘choosing its own affiliate’ club? I noticed that we barely offered affiliates from same nation league, I really want same nation league affiliates to grow my players. For example, I need an affiliates with same level (EPL) or below (championship, league one, league two) affiliates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
