I went on vacation for a few days… I come back, and one of my youths left the team?

If it doesn’t cover this, what does vacation mode actually do?

well, as far as i know, system only provides contracts to those ask for it, during the vacation mode.

and know what, to my disarray, it provided contract to one of those youths whom i didn’t want to. and i had to later pay around 34K to fire him…

Dave, did you have room for the youth on your team? If you already have 30 players (including loaned players) the youths will leave.

I have 28 players, and one on loan. Maybe I didn’t set the vacation mode in that world? (fast ticker). I dunno. I thought I did. The player (Bruno Lessa, now on Monaco) is good. He doesn’t fit my team perfectly, but I’d have signed him up, just to see what happens with him. I don’t want to make a big fuss about it… I can’t complain… my team is pretty good already.

I just want to know what happened, so I can make better arrangements next time I’m on vacation!

I’ll double check just to make sure, but the rule is every youth player whose contract is expiring will be hired if you’re on vacation mode, unless you already have 30 players including those loaned in and loaned out.

OK. BTW, it was turn 86 that I got the message telling me the youth contract was expiring. Can you check to make sure I was on vacation mode at that time? Maybe I just messed up.

Unfortunately there is no way to tell whether or not you were on vacation mode :(
