Squad Changes Not Saving / Team Sheets Frozen After Transfers

Platform: PS5, Xbox, PC

Game version: FC25 and FC26

Mode affected: Kick Off, Career Mode, Tournaments, Edit Teams

Issue type: Squad saving / team sheet bug

Description: After editing club transfers in Edit Teams, team sheets become locked and no further changes will apply.
  • Players are frozen and cannot be moved in team sheets.
  • Custom tactics and player roles do not apply.
  • Lineup changes appear to save but are lost when restarting the game.
  • When I reopen the game and reload squads, none of the changes are present.
Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Go to Edit Teams
  2. Make club transfers
  3. Save squads
  4. Try changing team sheets or tactics
  5. Close the game
  6. Reopen and reload squads
Expected Result: All transfers, team sheets, tactics, and roles should save and apply normally.

Actual Result: All changes reset or fail to load. Team sheets are locked and unusable.

Frequency: Occurs every time

Workarounds tried: Restarting game, resaving squads… NO EFFECT

    Just booted the game up and tried everything again just to make sure it still doesn’t work… Guess what, IT DOESN’T WORK!!!!!

    I'm with you mate, monitoring posts about this issue every day.

    If we can do it in our free time, how come paid employees don't have the time? 😄The very least they should do is acknowledge the problem and vaguely say the solution is on its way. It's not like this is a new issue

    It's pathetic. If you edit teams a lot - which should be a key feature in this very expensive game - you always run into problems. The line-up won't save, sometimes players are not transferable or intechangeable within a team (they just can't be moved from CM to CDM i.e.) and, if you managed to somehow succeed in editing the team by multiple complex workarounds, you run into an CE-108255-1 error which freezes the game, because you transferred too many players, changed too many teams. 

    How is it possible to release a game where one of the main features is totally bugged? How is it possible that no one reacts to these kind of topics? I have to repeat myself: pathetic!

    Agreed my man, basic functionality of the Team Sheets is broken. 

    Has anyone tried to raise the problem on other platforms like X etc.? I really don't know how to get their attention, normally you should get a reply within 72 hours from any support team and this issue has been circling around since game release.

    Is there an email/other contact method that we should get our hands on and raise the issue together?

    It's our legal right to have a game that's working. We paid a lot of money for this title. IT'S BEEN 3 MONTHS, TIME TO FIX THE ISSUE

    I was secretly hoping this would be solved by Xmas but nothing from EA, not even an acknowledgement. Has anyone tried to actually get in touch with them through other means? They ignore our posts here

    What’s even worse tho is this problem was a thing not only just in FC26 but this was a thing since the launch of FC25 and was somehow never patched during that games lifecycle and now a “new” game released with literally the exact same game breaking problem that again hasn’t been patched and it’s January. I don’t think EA really care about making a good game at all I mean this is so game breaking that it literally can crash your game if you do enough….how this could still even be a thing is an embarrassment.

    I can’t believe they aren’t even investigating this issue we’ve been commenting for months I know they see it!
