Hildor Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Something I've seen in my playthroughs, players concerned the squad lacks depth when the reserve team is full of players. On this case I have 28 players in my first team and 24 in the reserves, all positions covered with backups and some with backup to the backup, so the player should leave the management to me 🤔 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Silvani Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hey @Hildor, could you send the save in for me to have a look at? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I've advanced in the game already, will have to check to see if the player or another one has similar concerns Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK in the same team I still have players complaining about squad depth, just sent a save. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie Silvani Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Hi @Hildor looking at your squad, you seem to have good depth at centre back and left back but not to great options in terms of goalkeepers, natural strikers or wingers? I think the happiness comments about it relate to the first team squad more than anything. Your team report also comments on those areas. I also promoted players from the reserves in some of those positions and after a few weeks players stopped having that worry (and team report adjusted suitably). I'll discuss with our team about it and see what they also think? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll discuss with our team about it and see what they also think? Yes, but why do I need to have 30 players in the main squad if the reserve squad is present and I can go get players from there? Personally I hate working with big squads and using reserve when needed. Imo reserves should count as squad depth too. The whole squad has 5 goalkeepers, I just chose to have only two in the main squad for example. And I only use one winger, why I need more than 3 for example? Doesn't squad depth takes into account the team tactics? Edited March 16, 2021 by Hildor 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hildor Posted March 16, 2021 Author Share Posted March 16, 2021 In real life most day to day squads are short, 25 players seems like roughly a number most managers like to work with and in real life players are aware of reserve and B teams, so not sure why would they be concerned about squad depth at all 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
