Squad Number Allocation

Is it possible that when you sign a new player you are allowed to select his squad number, rather than just which ever the lowest available number is, as the current system works.

Either that, or maybe a option at the start of the new season to have shirt number allocations as an option. Obviously keeping within the number range of 1-22.

I know you can change the players number by using a token, but this is a massive waste of a token just to change a shirt number. Fair enough for names, nationality, etc. but surely not just because of a number.

As a few teams I've come across have a outfield player with number 1. Obviously not a major issue, but something that would be quite easy to implement you would have thought.

Sorry if this has already been a suggestion in the past.

My DC/DMC is number 1 and my goalkeeper is number 4. Last season, number 1 went to a striker and number 6 to my GK. :p

I would love this idea, I'd imagine that it's been suggested before but I've never seen it. I'd rather have squad number selection when a player is signed, and I see no reason for it to be within the range of 1-22 as well, currently I have up to at least 25. I think I even had 27 once.

Why do you care guys? If you really care for numbers - change your team members names as well and use real players names like some of the managers, and with that you can pick their favorite number as well. yes - it cost tokens, but so is EVERYTHING else in this game.
This game should be called Top Token Manager ,,, if I may say so -

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that I once changed my goalkeeper's name to David de Gea, nationality Spanish, just because I wanted to make more use of my tokens. We care for it because it looks better, it's really rather bad presentation by Nordeus at the moment, but not enough to waste valuable tokens on it.

Yeh I've come up against a few teams with an outfield player wearing number 1. Obviously not a major thing, but would be nice to be able to allocate the numbers.

I think name changes and nationality should still cost tokens. I actually prefer not having real player names, so certainly not going to waste a token just to change a squad number!
