They're John Major clones.

Really a GQ question, but as i'm in a good mood...

Grey players are in the team when you can't fill in all positions in the team.

Fids, no need to add that first sentence in, particularly if you're going to answer it anyway.

And people wonder why LLM isn't new-user friendly.

You can play them but you can't give them contracts or interact with them. They disappear as you get in real players. They're generally even worse than real players so you don't want to be hanging onto them.

I would say more inconsistant rather then worse. Specially since I played with mostly regens for two seasons and one of them got 5 MOM awards. Played in style 8-5-9-5-10-3 etc.

I've managed clubs where the greyed-out players are better than the proper ones. A couple of times I've gone through most of a season with one in goal, and they don't even want paying. Long live the grey players. :thup:

try including your reserve team on the squad screen, hopefully some grey keepers will come up.

hope this helps

Your grey guys can become White guys if they play enough no? is that a racist question? (that last bit was a joke) I had a grey guy turn white after 3 seasons of using him w/ The Great Grecians. Is that an Anomaly or is it Standard?

AFAIK that's not possible.

IMO they're only in for the convenience of the game - you shouldn't play them in the first team, not according to LLaMa ethics - in my humble opinion.

Kovalnekov, regens (or as I prefer, neogens since I coined the term

) are not the same thing.

My bad.

Explain something, though. How you go to match if you have the wopping amount of 5 real players, cannot sign no one, no one wants to come on loan etc. and cannot place greyed out poofs in your first squad. I think you can't, because the game won't let you.
