Phantom Players

Just noticed something rather weird with my new Ayr save. I was looking for a new rightback as I only have 1 in the team. However when it came to comparing the players, I found three or four other DR and DRC's in my team, all 17-19, and all completely missing from my team when I look at it normally. I'm not THAT bothered, as the missing guys are frankly rubbish, but where the heck are they lol! Also had the weird experience of being told I couldn't hire a physio....despite the club not having one, I had to get the board to agree to two...so I could bring in ONE. Something seems a bit fishy. Hope it's nothing serious, I've spent three hours bringing in 8 new players to replace the 10 kicked out, bringing in a number of backroom staff (no physio, scout or even coaches!) and convincing the board to upgrade facilities. Had a 43 grand transfer pot, spent a total of 8, and still about 40% under my wage bill to. I have a feeling this could be my first decent shot at a career, if there isn't an issue with these phantom players and physio! (at least I haven't got a headless coach, man. Sorry, bad joke!
