B team manager is only playing fictional players.

[neonknight21]

I'm managing AEK in greece and I noticed my B team has lost their first 5 games and mostly by large margins, like 4-1, 6-0, etc. I looked at the details and noticed the idiot manager is only playing the fictional greyed-out players, even though I have a full roster of actual players. Has anyone experienced this and know if it's a bug or should I just fire the guy?

You could give the greyed out players contracts.

How would that help?

Is it maybe an age thing? if it is, they should have an icon in front of their name saying something like "over 23" when you hoover over it. I don't have this problem in the Dutch league, but do have the age problem when over 23.

Question: did you start your save without clicking move players to clubs or whatever its called..

It seems that way as the greyed out players would not be greyed out if you had.

they are like a filler for a team, if you sign them then they become fully part of your club

His problem is that he has a whole squad of signed players, but the coach is not selecting them. Instead he uses the fictional players. Therefore, I think it's an age thing and the guys he signed aren't allowed to play.

I did some more digging and realised none of the squad is registered. And can't be confirmed until the next registration period. This really upsets me as I was not notified of this requirement. Why didn't the game prompt me? So angry right now.

A year and a half later, I'm facing the same issue, started with Olympiacos, reached the end of October with a perfect start, just wins, only to realise the same. Now I'm furious and don't know whether I should go back to the end of September to register the damn B players cause this certainly doesn't help their development! I get 50 emails per day and every notification imaginable and the stupid game does not mention anywhere that I'm the one that's supposed to register the B players!!! What did you do, did you wait for the winter transfer window? Did you notice a drop in the players' development?
