Read up on this thread over the last two days having recognised it from your Ton Pentre days! Awesome like before but 2 things caught my eye. 1) Nearly always referring to qualifying for 'Europe' despite being in Africa or Asia . 2) 'I've got too many foreign players' followed by *signs more foreign players*! Love saves like this though out in the backwaters. Last point - didn't you sell a player once to SH Port? Have you checked up on whether they played against you in your recent continental adventures?

Looking at the players history I think it may have something to do with the 'regardless of loan spells away from the club' which might be causing the issue, which to me means to disregard any loans. His history shows he was on loan at the club during his 17th and 18th birthdays. Then he had signed permanently for his 19th, was sent out on loan for his 20th (which is fine), and turned 21 during the his 3rd season of having a permanent contract with the club (born in October 2000). So he signed permanently in July 2019 (aged 18) and so has only trained at the club for 2 years and 3 months by the time he reached 21 in October 2021. I think it's those two years on loan in 17/18 and 18/19 that don't count towards the home grown at club rule.

I've taken over a bit of a car crash of a club in terms of their previous squad building and appear to have zero players which meet Serie A's homegrown at club requirement when 4 are needed. Basically the requirement is 'Minimum of 4 players trained by Napoli for 3 years (regardless of their loan spells away from the club) between 15th and 21st birthdays'. I've dipped into the transfer market and signed a back-up to help meet this criteria. He has all the indicators in his player information that he meets the registration criteria for trained at club, and this also shows in the squad registration screen however the game is not treating him as home grown at club, only home grown in nation. Any ideas why?

Long been a fan of your threads Ben. I always learn something new/helpful and I absolutely love the real-life feel of your saves - something I try to do also.

Jesus Christ this version is crap. As am LLM I can't set training sessions for my semi-pro team cos the schedules disappear as soon as you set them, my Swedish 4th tier crapo division players are willing to go on strike over the minutest thing such as the defensive options not being good enough (?).

Also getting this bug. In Sweden's fourth tier so semi-pro.
