Hey everyone, well i am playing this great game and I get to a championship final, against Arsenal, i select Play Match and i get a screen that says,

"Arsenal doesn't have enough players to play this match. The match will be forfeited 3-0. Are you sure you wish to continue."

I am playing as Manchester United so how come since they don't have enough players to compete against me, i have to loss the game? I thought i knew a lot about football but iv never heard about this. I am used to if a team forfeits THEY lose, not the team that is prepared for the game.

I have tried to simulate the game and it comes up 3-0 Arsenal, Please if there is a rule here i am just not aware of let me know. And i am ****ed cause i am unbeaten this season and now i have to lose that for this.

any insight will be very appreciated!!!!!

bump, pleeease help me out!

If your playing in Manager Mode, have you bought players from Arsenal? This could be the problem. Other then that I don't know how this have happened.

nope, i havnt bought any players this past transfer period, all my players are healthy.

Im guessing its not some obscure rule iv never heard of and its a glitch in the game.

what a bummer, now i gotta lose the championship, lose my win streak, lose my sponser payout all for this one damn glitch.
