U23 not getting invited to Premier League 2
I led a Skybet League 1 Team into Premier League and winning it after promotion all in 3 seasons. During the 1st PL season a U23 team was created and I had a Youth Level 2. Near the end of the season the board is now upgrading youth to Level 1.

I assume I now have all the needed ingredients to have my U23 invited to to Premier League 2 or any of the English Professional Development League. But as we advanced to the new season, I was bypassed and was not included in any U23 League in spite of seeing 2 fresh U23 teams being added including a championship side.

I desperately need help in solving this issue please!

have you tried to use a lower league database? my U23 team in germany i.e. only gets to play if i use a special lower league database that does add these leagues to the current game.


EDIT: However... i am not sure if its even possible to add a database expansion to a running game. I always do it during ceation.

The competition already exists as I can see its details including all the participating teams season after the other.

The issue lies in the game choosing to include other teams' U23 squads and not mine in spite of mine being the PL for the 2nd season.

Can a developer shed some light on this issue?

With the U23s league, a team needs to drop out (through being either withdrawn or losing their youth level) before your team can join the league. This can take a few seasons.

Thanks for the response Luke.

I'm assuming you are referring to the 3>2>1 youth level and not the */20 facility level. Correct?

If so, is there any method (through any editor maybe) that can be used to reduce youth levels for any club?

This can be done in the Pre-Game Editor but this is not save game compatible
