I can't seem to find any solution to my problem on the internet but maybe someone here had the same issue.
I'm playing Nantes in the french Ligue 1. First season my reserve (the equivalent to the english u21 I guess) was playing in 4th division (that is the normal thing). But they got relegated and since then, they no longer play any games, unless I plan (or have planned) friendlies. So my young players or recovering players have a hard time being match fit, and I don't even talk about improving.
So I think that they no longer play because there's no 5th division in FM 16. But as they don't play, there's no chance they get promoted in 4th division !
Do I have a way to correct that ? I even bought the in-game editor but no luck apparently.
Thanks

i just have to correct myself, having done a quick search it appears that moving teams to leagues is not possible with the in game editor. i have moved teams around many times with the main editor and assumed in game editor would have the same features but it looks like this is not the case so i apologise for the incorrect information.

My season is only in december so far so it'll be some time before I can test the end of season reload option (saving just before end of season and reloading until my u21 gets promoted back). I don't se any other option.

Isn't there anything that can be done using the editor ?

are you sure you didn't get a message inviting your u21's to a league? in that case i guess your only option is to arrange lots of friendlies, you can try setting up an affiliate club that you can send your players out on loan too also, just make sure it is a level of club, league that your youngsters are likely to get game time in, otherwise the manager there will never pick them...

i don't know how the game decides which teams get promoted to the u21 league, does quality of players in your u21 squad influence it or is it decided exclusively based on reputation of team, who knows? you might be wasting your time reloading anyway as i doubt it is done completely at random.
in the mean time i don't think there is a way to fix it sorry, you can work around it using the ways i suggested if you want, sorry i couldn't be of more help. there are some teams in the game that don't have a reserve league by default so lots of other players have to work around this also. you can use the editor to create your own reserve league system, lots of players do that to get around issues with reserve leagues...
