What device are you using? The Mail website is flawed. I am unable to update 1 of my teams on tablet - OK on laptop. :? :evil:

Is this run by the same people as the Sky game? I haven't been able to do transfers in Sky all evening but it's just started working now, just checked the Mail and it seems alright. You've got two minutes!

Oh, ok. Sorry for getting your hopes up then! It would let me go to the transfer screen and take players in and out, normally when the 'work in progress' etc message is out it won't let you do that.

This game seems to be going the way of TFFO, where they make pointless changes each year causing problems and/or making the game slightly worse. Then the entry numbers drop off until they cancel it claiming there is no longer enough interest......

Assuming this is the usual format of Silent Manager run games, you can't move subs in and out until the game has started. Once the first match has kicked off you click on the sub then the player in the team (or possibly the other way round) and they'll swap over.

I emailed them earlier in the week, and they said that you do the exact same as last year, i.e. click on the player that you wish to substitute and then click on the sub that you want to bring in. However, this does not work for me. I will wait until tomorrow to see if it can be done then. If not, then I'll scrap my teams. This game is going down the pan.

I didn't know how to make subs until just now. The method from last year does not work as they changed it.
Try this:
1 Click on player you want to bring in
2 A list of your current players in that position appears on right hand side
3 Click player you want subbed out. Click player in list not the main screen
4 Save team

That may not work so then try:

Click name to be subbed out
Click bench player...after a minute your current players in the category are shown in right hand box
Click name to be subbed out again
Click bench player again...after a minute they swap
Save team
repeat if necessary.
