My B team's manager automatically renews before expiring. I have full contract control set to me, nothing delegated. There is no clause in the manager's contract to auto renew. But yet it always renews for another year in late May before expiring, none of my other staff contracts do this. This has happened almost every year in this save, except for one year when the manager apparently wanted a new challenge. So I hire another guy and now his is autorenewing as well. PS - Any idea why most coaches would want to work for my u19s but refuse the same job on my B team? Save is Save Ze Porto - Huelva 2039.05.27.fm, fast forward til May 31 to see it

I have mad my training and youth facilities, as well as youth coaching and recruitment, maxed out for several years now. I think I have the most players from my country playing first tier football in Europe. I know I am in the top couple in all of Europe in terms of producing first tier footballers, last time I got an email about that (I don't see a way to look that stat up without getting that email?). And yet I still failed my goal of "develop best youth system in country". I see others have had similar experiences, is this a bug, or no? I can provide save files of course but I'm not sure from when you might want them. Save Ze Porto - Huelva 2039.05.27.fm

Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.12.20.fm is when I noticed the problem below, Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.09.05.fm is from a week before the first phantom B team game happens... In the past I've been frustrated when I will have friendlies auto-scheduled for my B team (or even main team), even if I selected to not let friendlies be scheduled for me. But those games would at least show up in the schedule, even I wasn't able to cancel them (also aggravating). Now I have a somewhat different issue. My Spanish B team (which is just so annoyingly useless, they've just sat there as a friendlies-only team for decades now, I really hate my FM can't make B teams matter) is playing hidden games against random teams in Nigeria, Congo, Bosnia and Germany. I have not scheduled these games, and they do not show up on B team fixtures. If you go to my B team fixtures you will see the last played game was a friendly against Porto B 24/10/38. But click on a player, like GK Daniel Simon, and go to his form and you'll see a host of games (starting in September) that he has played against those random teams as well as the games he played in that I actually scheduled and are visible on the fixtures game. I noticed this when an U19 player (Dumpierrez) showed up with fatigue issues. I couldn't figure out how that was possible, then I looked at his form and noticed him playing in all these extra games. He is an especially weird situation I think because he is assigned to u19 and not B, he is in my u19 starting line up. He has not been made available for B team minutes. But he has actually not played any games with the u19s, and has only played B team friendlies. If you select him and go to Squad the options are "move to A team" or "move to B team," which tells me he is on u19. But if you select "Available for u19" you'll see he has somehow been marked unavailable for u19s. I know I did not select this. Completely bizarre situation. Prayers for real, useful B teams in FM25!

Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.12.20.fm save file On the training screen my A team is shown as being on holiday break until Dec 24, with no training assigned until then. But when you move forward in time the game shows a current schedule that features a lot of training. My B and u19 team are not on holiday break, but the training schedule shown does not match the training schedules that either of those squads are assigned. Is my squad on break or training? FM24contpage.png screenshot shows the screen as the game moves forward in time and shows training, FM24training.png screenshot shows the training screen showing the team on break The volume of these minor issues adds up to something very confusing and aggravating! Feels like a severe absence of care quality control and customer respect in FM24, a purchase I deeply regret.

If you take Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.12.03.fm and go to Dec 4 you will be prompted to have a team leader meeting of the 2 team captains and Bernat Diaz. The subject of the meeting is... Bernat Diaz. If you tell the group that Diaz is asking for unreasonable things, the 2 captains will agree but Diaz (unsurprisingly) will disagree and say (in the 3rd person!) "He has done as much as he can, what more does he have to do to earn a new deal." Feels off, feels like SI forgot to make it a different player in the meeting when it is about his own contract. I had, of course, previously had a one on one with Diaz about his desire for a new contract when he raised the issue. While I have obviously had players come to me wanting a new contract, and I've had team leaders come to me demanding a contract for a teammate, I've never had the subject of the new contract request be one of those leaders that comes to me... who then speaks about himself in the 3rd person. In fact, just 2 days prior, the same group, 2 captains and Diaz, came to me about a contract for a different player (Brian Kelly). That one went how I assume that interaction is supposed to go, I talk to those 3 team leaders about Kelly's request. In that instance it went the same way actually. I could convince the 2 captains but Diaz disagreed saying "What more is he supposed to do?," that is a fine and realistic outcome of course, but it feels more bugged when it repeats exactly a couple days later with Diaz himself as both subject and participant

After a shambolic flop in the Europa League last year my players rightfully took me to task for our failure to reach the latter stages of the tournament, and I promised we would the next year. Well, as it happened, we qualified for Champions League instead! I was wondering what would happen to that promise, it showed 200~ days left on it for most of Sept, but now, out of nowhere on Sept 22, a week after my first Champions League match (a draw), I have an email saying that one of my captains is unhappy about the failure to progress in the Europa League and is considering his future. How does SI think I am supposed to progress in a tournament I'm not in? Why do interactions continue to be such a fiasco? And why did this happen now? It didn't happen when we qualified for Champ Lg, it didn't happen after either Champ or Europa Lg matches began, it didn't happen on the promise due date... makes no sense... I was expecting the player to maybe be happy to reach Champions and forget about the Europa goal, but I figured maybe he'd hold us to reaching the latter stages (or at least giving a good showing in) Champ Lg. That would be tough but fair. Instead this nonsense.. Save is Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.09.22.fm, I know you've got many other earlier files from me as well but let me know if you need an earlier

Very minor, but the Champions League prediction odds email I just got doesn't make sense. It says "0 teams have been made 11-2 joint favorites to win Champions League this season... The rest of the contenders are priced at: 11-2 Liverpool, 11-2 Arsenal, 13-2 Man City, 13-2 Chelsea, 15-2 Real Madrid, 9-1 Inter" Screenshot OddsFM24, Save file Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.09.05.fm

Just had an 18 year old South African center back sign for a Saudi club instead of my perennial Europa/Champions League Spanish squad for the reason that "he feels their squad is much stronger." My club was 4th in La Liga last season, so we'll be in the Champions qualifying playoff. The Saudi league is unloaded, but they don't appear to be in any Asian competition. The Saudi squad only has 3 actual players, the others are all grayed out ghost players. They have a 2.5 reputation vs my 3.5 rep. Very unrealistically for Saudi vs Europe he is going to be making less than 10% more in salary with them than me. Sorry to be a leaky faucet, as always I'm not really worried about my team or save. I can find another center back, I am more curious/worried how the game is coming to these conclusions and wanted to bring this to your attention. I wouldn't have thought twice if he had signed with them for money or better path to the first team, but he's not getting paid much more and didn't mention path to first team football as a reason and I'm at a loss in trying to figure out how the game views this mostly ghost player Saudi team as better than a Champions league squad? Maybe those 3 real players they have are strong and so their average actual player is stronger than mine (if you figure my "average" is being brought down by youth and B teamers)? I hope thats not it, wouldn't really make sense Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.06.22.fm

Please look at Hong Chang Soo on Ze Porto - Huelva 2038.04.12.fm Actual Playing Time is showing Emergency Backup (and previously has shown Surplus) but player has appeared in 21 of 33 Liga matches so far this season (11 starts) and has started 5 of the last 7 matches. His agreed playing time is Squad Player but he will complain about not getting enough playing time. I think that level of playing time is at least Impact Sub and probably Squad Player. I wouldn't be mad if it showed him as Impact Sub but he wanted a few more starts to be a proper Squad Player, but it's definitely not Emergency Backup, so kind of driving me crazy the game thinks that. Have seen this before with a couple other guys but this is the most glaringly incorrect one. Another guy, 21 year old Fidel Pena, is not playing a lot (4 starts, 9 subs in 33 La Liga matches) but his actual time is shown as Youngster... which just doesn't make sense.
