Because you can seemingly play with 12 men?  Edit: Aren't the Welsh known for being able to count groups on grass fields?

Gary Delaney joke:  I asked a Welsh friend how many sexual partners he'd had.  He started counting and fell asleep.

well i thought that was the last game of the season, and looking back it went well, we had to play the playoff conference end of the league, and we finished top, picking up the league cup on the way. but we know have a series of games for the european places play off, i have no idea how or why im in it but i'll take it, chance at europe next season, no matter how small is always fun. maybe @Finnegan can shed some light on this system, i could see an explaination in the games rules. most of my team are exploring options too, while i would like to keep some of thise, its likely i might have an almost completely new team next season. got my first coaching badge too, immediately went on to the next one so i have decided im staying here as long as they will have me, until im fully trained up and have the freedom to choose whichever next club i want

EDIT. i figured it out. top 3 teams get auto euro qualifying stage, next 4 play each other for the last remaining conference league place. im under no illusions i can win that with this lot, or even get it through this play off, but it would be nice to make the group stage. 




also,  got myself some nicer looking balls, from this page 
3D Matchballs Megapack - VERSION 26.2 (Fully compatible with FM24 and FM26) - Other Football Manager Graphics - FM26 - Football Manager 26

install just like logos and kits, and as you can see, from the picture of my ballsack, they look pretty good. one of those little things that make all the difference

Always wanted to do a Bilbao policy type save (Basque only players for them) with another club, came up with the idea of creating a fictional club in the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca & Formentera - basically a second home for me during the summer) and putting them into the lowest Spanish divisions playable, would like to put them even lower but there isn't a lower league Spanish database knocking around this year. Took quite a bit of editor work already but nearly ready to go

Lowest I could find was 5th tier which is where I had to put my Andorra B Team

 

FYI if your B team (if you have one) isn’t in a league I wouldn’t be surprised if that means they never get promoted into the actual leagues as I had that happen with my Andorra B team and had to restart the save

Do you know where you found that mate? couldn't find one anywhere, but that would be class.

 

I was planning on maybe getting a few years/a bit of success down the line and using the in game editor to drop the B team into the division I start the first team in - but not even sure if that's possible? I've watched Clayts on YouTube do an academy only save with Huesca and he did have his B team promoted after a couple of years to be fair.

I think it might depend on whether the B team is already setup to join in the future / has the possibility

 

I tried to add it to my B team who play in about the 7th tier IRL and did testing but could just never get them to be promoted into a proper league
