It's presumably too late for me to do anything about it in-game at the minute but I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced an issue with playing Europa League/Conference League matches on Thursday night and then having to negotiate scheduled league fixtures at 3pm on Saturday?

 

It could well just be an Irish League issue because, while it's no longer prohibited, we generally haven't played much competitive football on a Sunday over the years and maybe Football Manager just hasn't been updated to reflect that, meaning there's no option for a Saturday match to be put back 24 hours.

 

As I'm sure you're all very aware, an early-season trip to face Warrenpoint Town at Milltown is tricky enough at the best of times, nevermind less than 48 hours after a Europa Conference League third qualifying round tie in Malta's National Stadium Ta' Qali.

 

I'm now dangerously close to almost accidentally reaching the group stages and am not sure I can bear my assistant manager droning on and on about my centre-half looking tired for the next two months of constant Thursday-Saturday (plus two midweek domestic cup competitions) fixtures.

 

Maybe the issue will resolve itself if I do qualify for the group but I just wanted to know if anyone had experienced it with any other leagues.

Never managed an Irish team, sounds like a challenge

 

have you tried “move games for TV“ in preferences? May help
