Manager Career: Can't Change Youth Line Up/Sub

Hi,

In Manager Career mode, I can't change the youth team line-up before each youth tournament game or make substitutes during the game.

Moreover, during the game, when I try to do a substitute, I can't exit the substitution screen back into the pause menu and back into the game, and I'm stuck in the substitution screen.  

In the substitution or lineup screen, I can choose a player to substitute (shows the circle with the two rolling arrows), but when I choose the player to replace, nothing happens. The same happens in-game or off-game, but in-game, I can't exit this screen and am stuck, unable to continue playing. 

With that bug, I'm unable to change my default starting five youth players.

Please help and fix this

  • same here, i hit triangle, select the suggested player to change, and nothing happens

  • I just bought the game and have the same issue. Ea needs to limit the number of bugs they always have a lot every year it’s frustrating 

  • 12.01.2026 still same problem. Cant change youth lineup, same problem in seasons, cant change lineup before the match.

    EDIT: Here is the fix that worked for me. Go to your main team and get rid of the auto subs. Then you should be able to replace your players in the academy tournament.

  • Same issue even now… Since we don’t pay for these modes they don’t give af
