There should be an option where the manager can make it known that he is unhappy and other clubs currently without a manager or recently lost their manager could offer him their managers job.
In this scenario you could move clubs and take over current squad plus current ground & facilities without it going back to scratch.
The scenario could be that the board prevents you from buying a player or a loan even though you have the funds or some set rules when the chance to move occurs.
I get that the current way avoids cheating but just think starting from scratch is too big a default but this is just an idea.
It might also help move managers from England to one of the other leagues and help to boost the strength of some of the other leagues.

Add a tab in the match preview that allows you to select the tactics you want to use for the match rather than relying on the tactics tab to set the starting XI.

Do this on custom matches only, sometimes playing custom match with 2nd eleven by 2.30am, is a problem when by 4.00am there's important next match on super cup. Or
At least allow us to setup lineup of our next 48hr (2days) regular matches and 10 custom matches.
It won't affect the 72hr (3days) match inactivity, it will solve disruptive sleep.

I find it just as critical for league games. I was just making adjustments to my training team this morning not realizing that I had a league game about to run and when the match started it loaded my training team because of it.

You can select a separate tactics for custom matches only. Here is how

Select a lineup for your next friendly match and save it.
In the tactics page, there is an option called "Custom Match Tactics" (between the buttons to save, load etc). Click on it and select the name of the lineup you just saved.
Now that lineup will be used for all friendly matches, and not the current lineup shown on the tactics page. So you can change the line up again to what you want to use for the next regular competitive match.

How to setup separate in game changes for friendlies only:
In the in game changes page, when you create a new rule, there is an option called "use for", you can set it to only friendly matches, only regular matches, or all matches. Use that to setup seperate instructions for friendlies and your competitive matches.

I too agree that this option is not easily noticeable for new users, tegimus should make it a bit more clear and also mention this in yhe tutorials

You must load lineup everytime. Sometimes some1 is busy, forgot or at sleep incase of 2:30am - 4:00am CC/SC games.

No you don't need to. Once you select a different tactics for custom matches, it will always be used until you set it back to "use active tactics".
Since you can have only one regular match and one friendly match per round, logging in once every 12 hours would be enough if you do this.

What i mean is incase of custom match at night 2.30am and SC match at 4.00am that's just 1.30am difference to load a regular lineup at night.

you need to set the custom match tactics, so you don't need to load it every time. (like Fathima suggested)
that way, the game will load your custom tactics for custom matches, and proceed with active one for regular matches.

Will ask for this super small improvement again.

Sorting arrows on the "Players" and "Training" menus, so we can sort playes by age, rating, XP, passing, etc etc etc. Is it difficult to implement ? I am asking because I really do not know much about programming.

Thanks

I already have multiple lineups saved that I generally switch between. My point is actually two fold.
1. If you make regular changes to any of your lineups you have to load them on the tactics page which is normally fine but if you don't re-load the standard lineup when you're done the next regular season match will select what's currently loaded on the tactics page. Sometimes people get pulled away from the game in the middle of making adjustments for any number of reasons but that shouldn't result in the "wrong" lineup being selected for a given match.
2. There is no way to verify within the match preview what lineup has been loaded to ensure you have what you want.

By adding a tab to the match preview allowing you to make the selection there it eliminates the risk of both points. It could even be a field that defaults to what is displayed on the tactics page if some people think the added step isn't necessary. But at least if it's there it provides some protection for life occuring outside the game.

I suggest to reset bot teams at the end of every season. In Italy 1.1 there are 2 strong bots.
What is the meaning? What benefits does it bring to the "game"? Nothing.
It is definitely best to reset to bots and promote more humans.

I don't understand, i have regular tactics and custom tactics, they work fine, what i'm saying is formation and lineup, we have to load everytime between custom match and regular season matches. Like now 10min late my custom match formation would've been use for my 20.00pm league match. It has nothing to do with being active, am top 10 active manager yet i see this as low point of the game.

i also don't understand. how would your custom tactics be used in league match in the first place? did you not set it?
and i don't see you changing formation nor swapping lineup in the last 6 matches. were you just late to do it all the time? do you have a reason to not set up tactics HOURS before the match and somehow have to do it in the last minute?


personally, for convenience sake, i would NEVER set up a friendly before an regular match (learned it the hard way in my first season), and my friendlies are almost always set 30 minutes after regular game. never really had a problem with it.

if i'm faced with a tough regular game and the team is expecting a loss, i'd just turn off the custom tactics, so my main team would play 2 consecutive game to buffer the morale loss.

Thanks @chax
It has been set as use active » since day one, that explain my struggle but i've never failed to switch. I'm a pro lol.
====
For 1 year now i never knew that button will save me sleepless night, all i've been doing since was switching between my saved lineup for league match and friendly match.
Now i've set it to use one of my other selected save lineup in custom matches, while my tactic page shows my main strongest lineup i'm happy.
Anything else am missing thanks.

As I mentioned in an earlier post I have a custom team set as you show in you screen shot but today I was making adjustments to my custom team 30 minutes before a regular season match because that’s when I had time to do it. I then got pulled into a call for work and by the time I got back the match had been played with my training team rather than my regular team.

I also don’t understand why people object to adding better transparency and control to your lineup selection for games. My recommendation was an option to either default to the tactics page if you are comfortable with it or use a manual load option within the match preview to set your lineup based on the options you’ve created in the tactics page. This would then allow you to change your tactical lineups at any time without inadvertently loading the “wrong” lineup for a given match.

Considering the introduction of the match viewer is supposed to bring some suspense into the game I think that the league table should be hidden also until you visit the matches pages.

Atleast a quick look of what tactics is going to be used in the match can be shown in the match preview. Or may be some sort of indication on the manager dashboard. Right now there is no easy way to find out that without going to the Tactics page

but it's already that easy since everything is available on a quick links. i even bookmarked those quick links in my browser to make my life easier. even if it's available from match preview, it's not gonna save you 10 minutes if you end up overriding everything anyway.
