I'm managing England and i have a match on Sep 5th. Problem is, when i'm picking my squad on matchday , i have three key players with "Trv" status, and their profile shows they are still traveling to join up with the international squad and due to arrive on Sep 5th (today). I cannot select them for the match. Is this a bug? If not, then what is the point in traveling if they couldn't make it, and there is only one match to play?

Where is the international game being held?
When was the last time the players clubs had a game, and where was this held?

Did you promote them from the U21's that had a game in the last couple of days?

Oh okay I think I see why. All 3 of them are from Manchester United and they just had Euro Super Cup match on Sep 4th. It's still weird though, that they have to travel pointlessly.

No I didn't move anyone to or from u21's, the squad was actually confirmed a week ago. So technically they shouldn't have been eligible for the cup game, they should've been on the plane already!

PS - The cup game was at Monaco, and the international game at Switzerland. I am now losing 0-2 at HT, we are not going to qualify for Euro 2016 now..

I guess you've answered your own question there. Case closed!

But I have a new question. Why were the players allowed to play that cup game? It delayed their flight causing them to miss the match. Now that the match is over, the players have gone back to their clubs... a pointless travel.

It's a bug alright that im sure is easily fixed so hopefully SI take note. Irl theres no way players would play in a meaningless club game over a vital international fixture.

Another point is why these games are been played so close together? Surely wouldn't happen irl
