New old players at season start vs manipulation?
At the end of the previous season (season 3 for me) I had a good composition for the season start:
- 10 main squad players w/o a GK and with several high levels replaced by fresh FTs,
- 4 "1%" guys,
- 1 100% GK coming from the youth academy that I spent free trainers for.
7 players had their contracts expiring and I planned to extend them once the season starts. It was a surprise for me, that for all these potentially "missing from minimum 14" players you get new 2-3* olds (retiring after this season 32+'s) forced into your club.

Now I wonder if these unexpected newcomers were counted in "best 14" and spoiled with their 40+% the impact of the 1% players for the new season draw...?

Youth academy AND out of contract players would still have counted in your best 14.

So unlikely that the oldies forced upon you would have counted.

The thing is that my best 14 should have been 10 main + 1 youth + 3 "1%" (they are negative in fact), but I'm afraid that these oldies were counted instead of "1%"s.

Yes, those 40% players were counted. Happened to me, when I forgot to sign the new contracts before the season ended.

Yes, players with contracts pending to renew and old players added by the system, are counted in the best 14.

Thanks!
It's a pity that I've slaughtered quite a number of good young players that didn't fit perfectly into starting 11 to make those 1% count as best 14.
