Bug report: Selecting unregistered players

[ZaZ]

The bug happens when you sign contract with a youth player in the same day as the match. When that happens, the player can be selected to cups, even when unregistered. However, the player is only available during the game section, becoming unavailable once you save and load.

To reproduce the bug: I got youth intake of players a couple of days before the first knockout of Euro Champions Cup. I offered contract, which was accepted by the same day as the second leg of the match. Despite not being registered, the player could be selected (and even scored during the match).

FM 2020 is the new release and you won´t see any bug fixes for an old FM release by now.
You post about it in vain.

If he came through from the youth intake, then he should count as a home grown player and wouldn't need to be registered as he is an under 21 home grown player and eligible for the champions league without being registered. Now if you reload and he somehow isn't available, then that could be a bug.

Knowing the franchise, I am 100% sure the same bug exists in the new version.

That rule is not valid in European Champions Cup (aka. UEFA Champions League). All players must be registered. It gets unavailable when I save and load to after the contract is signed, but the bug happens during the section, if the contract is signed at the time of the match.

Players under the age of 20 or younger on 1/1/xxxx(that's a year that changes every subsequent season) who have been at the club for 2 years do not have to be registered.
So no, you're wrong, it is valid in the Champions League and it is the reason why your youth player is eligible to play. I still don't know why saving and loading it affects their availability.

If you are sure it is like that, then the bug is saving+loading causing the player to be unavailable.
