I thought I saw St.Louis City SC was going to be available? I can’t find them?

They join in 2023 in real-life and won't be available in game until that point.

If you want to play as St Louis City SC and actually participate in the expansion draft etc before the season, you have to jump through a bunch of hoops since SI develops very little between each years games and rarely anything for MLS. Which is a shame because this is one of the few times left that the MLS will have expansion teams added with drafts to create a team from scratch.

 

In 2022, St Louis SC is in the "Lower Leagues" (not loaded) instead of the MLS, even after the MLS season ends.

You'll need to create a new game with the below settings:

Select Team - Make sure you choose St Louis as your team before you create the new game, you can only select a team if you have no custom editor files. You can't join teams in leagues that aren't loaded if you use ANY editor files when you start a new game. You also cannot move your manager there using the in-game editor.

Start Date - You want to choose a start date that is before December (waiver/expansion drafts), I used the England First Champions League as the starting date, I believe it is September 5th.

 

Then you can participate in:

Waiver Draft - Dec 12

Expansion Draft - Dec 13

Super Draft - Jan 12

Just passing by, but is that for full fat FM? This is the FM Mobile section and I don't think there are drafts etc in the mobile version (at least not that I've seen). Would be happy to be wrong about that though.

Oh you're right, sorry I was searching for St. Louis to see if anyone made kits for them before I made my own. Saw this post didn't realize it was mobile. I have no idea about mobile.
