Update 1.0.4 is now available. This patch focuses on fixes and improvements based on reports and feedback received since release.

Season Goals & Morale

- Fixed an issue where finishing above the Finish Mid-Table target could incorrectly be treated as failing it.

- Player departures now only reduce squad morale when the departing player had a meaningful positive social influence.

- Players who have not appeared during the current season will normally have no departure morale impact unless they are recognised as a Team Leader.

Ability & Potential

- Ability and Potential stars for your players now use the Academy squad as one consistent benchmark across all age groups and relevant screens. Moving a player between age-group squads will therefore no longer unexpectedly change their star rating.

- Ability and Potential sorting in the Squad screen now correctly follows the displayed half-star ratings.

Tactics & Player Profiles

- Selected player roles are now preserved when moving or swapping players in Tactics, including moves between the starting eleven and bench.

- Previous/Next navigation in Player Profiles now retains the squad list from which the profile was originally opened, even after moving the player to another squad.

- Player profiles can now be opened directly from player rows in Optimize Squad and Optimize + Review Releases.

Squad Optimisation

- Recommended moves now begin unselected, ensuring that changes are only applied when explicitly chosen.

- Recommended release rows now display the player’s Academy Rank.

- Releasing players through squad optimisation now requires a final confirmation showing the selected players and expected morale impact.

- Improved the stability and clarity of the squad optimisation window when selections change.

Scouting & Recruitment

- Scouting signings now join the appropriate age-group squad where possible: 15-year-olds join U15 and 16-year-olds join U16, while older players continue to join the Academy squad.

- Recruitment Reveal now checks whether there are enough Academy squad places for all potential signings before the ceremony begins.

- A warning is shown when the number of potential signings exceeds the available places, allowing you to review the Academy squad or continue to the reveal.

- Signings withdrawn because the Academy squad is full now receive a clear, specific explanation.

Match Highlights & Discipline

- xG is now revealed alongside the outcome of a chance instead of appearing beforehand and potentially spoiling the result.

- Already-booked players are now less likely to be selected for further challenges, reducing repeated bookings and send-offs without changing the underlying foul or card rates.

Thank you again for all the bug reports, suggestions and detailed feedback!
