Robioto Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 Hi there, Just a couple of quick questions regarding this Premier League rule which caught me out on my first save of FM2021, where I had transfers cancelled for countless foreign youngsters I'd agreed deals for with no warning from the game (except it being in the long list of rules for the Premier League). On my latest save, I'm trying to plan better, I assume a "season" is from the opening of the summer transfer window in June? I have signed one U21 player in my latest summer and I have 4 more joining in January, so I should be ok. However, my question is - is "U21" players that are 21 and under or under 21 (so 20 an under)? But I want to sign a couple more, one of them being 21 years old. Also does anyone know when the age of the player is taken from, is it from their age at the start of the season or when a player is actually of age? I hope this makes sense. I just want to avoid that dreaded "transfer cancelled" news item with zero warning from the game (hopefully the game will keep track of these types of signings better in FM2022). Thanks - if I'm not making sense, please ask and I'll try and explain myself better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 It should specify a "born before or after" date on the competition rules page. It is unlikely to be their actual birth date but more likely to be fixed at the start of the season 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelfc8 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I'm happy to be corrected, but I think it is the player's age on the day they actually join the club that counts. For these purposes the English League season does indeed start with the summer transfer window - 9th June. 21 year olds do not count as part of the 6. Loan players do though - I got caught out on that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staf9 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 this caught me out on a save as well. had a major transfer cancelled as i had picked up a couple of free transfers to bulk out my U23 squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokes Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Where can I see the six transfers I made during the season? I am being blocked from taking in two transfers under this rule and I can not figure out why. Under Transfers, I only show four intakes this season- all foreigners- however, one of them is a 23 year old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andros Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 @Dokes I might be misunderstanding what you want to do, so apologies if i am. Try clicking on "Transfer Centre" on the top left. that might give you want you want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokes Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Transfer Centre does not help, but thanks... I am trying to sign a U21 Foreign player to an EPL team - Bristol City. Apparently, there is a rule that limits your U21 foreign signings to six per season. I am being blocked from signing a U21 Brazillian because of this rule, but I can not see where I previously signed the six foreign U21 players. According to the transfer center (pic above) I only signed three players - one of the above is 23 years old. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the previous year also, since the transfer window starts in early June, and the season rollover is after that. Those players signed early in June still count for the coming year. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokes Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Thanks. That explains it. It is difficult to keep track as the "season" does not match the transfer window. Does it matter if I sell or release one of the previous six players - will I get another shot at signing my stud? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lampard4King Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 When you make an offer for a player, on the left side, under all the stuff no one reads, there should be a counter of how many U21s youve signed. Also when youre in the contract screen, at the bottom in red, it will tell you how many youve already signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

phugalu Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 in the Premier League if you loan a U21 foreign player and you buy him in that same season it counts as 2/6 youngsters signed... is this correct? It is the same person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBamBam Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 If you sign 6 players in a season, what date can you start signing more? When the transfer window opens or when the fixtures come out for the new season? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
