Offline Squad Customization Not Saving in FC 26 (Workaround)

Platform: [PlayStation / Xbox / PC] Game Mode: Offline Kick-Off / Squad Management Issue: Edited squads reset to default after restarting the game.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Go to Team Management and edit your squad (offline).
  2. Save the changes.
  3. Close the game completely.
  4. Restart the game.
  5. Check squads → they revert to default instead of keeping your custom lineup.

Expected Result: Custom squads should remain saved after restarting the game, as in previous FC titles.

Actual Result: Squads reset to default every time the game restarts.

(Workaround) Found:

  1. After saving squads, restart the game.
  2. Enter Career Mode → select Original.
  3. Once it loads, immediately exit Career Mode.
  4. Return to Squad Management → custom squads are now saved correctly.

Impact: This bug affects offline players who want to prepare squads in advance for Kick-Off matches against friends. It reduces usability compared to previous versions where squads stayed saved permanently

Additional Problem: Every time I edit more squads (multiple teams), the gameplay becomes unstable and performance issues appear. This suggests that the squad editing system is not handling multiple changes properly.

    The workaround sadly doesn't help with the players you can't transfer to another club or with the players who are "stuck" at their current positions. :/
