I loaded multiple leagues and chose to start on Dec 12, 2021 while managing a MLS squad in order to go through the 2022 Expansion Draft.
I was given the option to choose my 12 protected players as expected, but then the draft itself never seemed to happen and all the players that I left available for the draft were instead removed from my roster and all made Free Agents. Obviously, not expected behavior.
I know I probably went around expected behavior by using another nation's start date to start before the standard USA leagues, but I would really like to be able to go through the off-season that begins proper in December, and it was disappointing to hit such a big, game breaking hurdle.
Uploaded my save file to the SI Cloud Service, filename is CLTFC - Bug (MLS Expansion Draft).fm
Managing Charlotte in FM22, the II squad wasn't in a league, but I could (and did) go in and schedule a friendly with other MLS II squads every week. Now, I can't even do that.
What I expect to happen: If MLS II squads aren't in an existing league (like real like MLS Next), then they should be able to schedule and play friendlies.
What is happening: No matches are scheduled outside of pre-season, and there are no teams available in the Arrange Friendly screen besides the main squad.
See attached files for screenshots. Unsure if this is a Charlotte specific bug or a league-wide bug.
