Help me Please @EA_Vendcera

Subject: Urgent FC 26 Bug Report – Classic XI Players Cannot Be Transferred Correctly and Become Duplicated

 

Hello EA_Vendcera,

 

I would like to report a serious bug in EA SPORTS FC 26 involving the Classic XI teams and the Club Transfer system.

 

Currently, some active players are included in Classic XI teams. When I try to transfer these players using Club Transfer, the transfer does not work correctly. Instead of removing the player from the original club, the game creates a duplicate player.

 

As a result, the same player appears at both clubs at the same time.

 

For example, players affected by this issue include:

 

- Cole Palmer

- Reece James

- Moisés Caicedo

- Harry Kane

- Jude Bellingham

- Michael Olise

- Manuel Neuer

- Jamal Musiala

- Mohamed Salah

 

This problem makes the Club Transfer system unreliable and prevents players from making realistic squad changes. It is especially frustrating for players who want to create custom squads, update transfers, or build realistic Career Mode saves.

 

Steps to reproduce the issue:

 

1. Go to the Club Transfer system.

2. Select an active player who is also included in a Classic XI team.

3. Transfer the player to another club.

4. Check both the original club and the new club.

5. The player remains at the original club while also appearing at the new club.

 

Expected result:

 

The player should be completely removed from the original club and transferred to the new club. There should only be one version of the player.

 

Actual result:

 

The player appears at both clubs, creating a duplicate player.

 

I strongly request that EA investigate and fix this issue as soon as possible in FC 26.

 

Please also consider checking the underlying player database and transfer systems before the release of EA SPORTS FC 27, to make sure this problem does not continue into the next game.

 

I hope EA can treat this issue as a priority because the Club Transfer system is an important feature for players who want to customize teams and create realistic Career Mode experiences.

  • The minor hotfix Title Update (1.6.5) last week was the final version of the FC 26 game cycle; no more updates will ever be released for this game. Best hope is problem addressed early in FC 27, however, as hundreds of people have acknowledged already, probably will continue for a minimum of seven months (March 2027), before EA developers patch new FC 27 bugs and glitches, and begin to work on legacy issues. Because main menu Club Transfer system is not utilized by everyone in the community, and is devoid of micro transactional revenue, is one of the lowest priorities of the company presently, similar to captain jersey 'shark bite', youth academy player sock glitch (broken for entire year), or Create a Club visual glitch for goalkeeper jersey logo (ignored for more than two years now). Check back to the new FC 27 forums after the closed Beta testing starts (August 5th) and hope someone indicates issues resolved, however, incredibly unlikely.
