There are MAJOR issues in the Edit Teams Tab. When you make club transfers it locks the team and you are unable to make changes in the team sheet. Also unable to save team sheets even if you save them in squads. These problems also travel over to career mode and tournaments. I am livid that this problem has accrued in EAFC 25 and in EAFC 26. $140 dollars down the drain. I want accountability for these horrible mistakes and also want to know if this is being looked at or not, with any solutions in the future. MY LAST BUY!

Have the same issue, in fact had the same issue for FC 25 but it was fixed. Can't believe I'm having the same issue in FC 26. Going to try and trouble shoot today. Deleting and reloading the squads, if that doesn't work going to delete and reinstall the game and hope the updates took care of the issue.

Same here. The game crashes if you edit teams then try and use kick off mode.
I’ll keep posting on this to keep it at the top of the page. I’ve got 3 posts about it as well (that they are ignoring) let’s keep posting on each others to keep them at the top of the pages so it’s impossible to ignore

Hey guys I think I found a workaround for the national team squad bug in exhibition mode, and it’s been working consistently for me so far. If you’re running into that issue where your custom lineup won’t save or you can’t rotate players, try this: I used chat to make it easier to understand. Hope this helps. Basically only Swap out Starters when adjusting you National Squad (haven't tested Bench yet, reserves seem to be where the bug is).
Step by Step Fix
Start Fresh
Delete any old squad files.
Hit “Reset Squads” and download the latest EA squad update.
Test First
Before making any changes, make sure you can edit the default national team lineup and move players around. If that works, proceed.
Only Swap Starters (For Now)
The bug seems to be triggered when you replace RESERVE players with new ones from the player pool.
So, in your first edit, only swap out players in the starting XI with new national team players (those not in the original 26-man squad).
Save & Test
After updating just the starting XI with new players, save the squad.
You should now be able to play exhibition matches using your updated 26-man squad — including your added players! Important Notes:
I haven’t tested swapping bench/reserve players yet — just the starting XI.
The bug seems tied specifically to editing reserves, which may be causing the lineup reset.
EA please fix this

Still nothing from EA. Made some clubs transfers today to see if there has been any changes. Guess what, NOTHING! After making the transfers couldn’t make any changes to the lineup in the team management tab. On top of that, still can’t even save lineups. Horrible from EA here!!
