I invest far more time than I should in sorting out my squad numbers in FM
Don't play the game anymore but remember when squad numbers were first introduced during my school days. Was so excited just to allocate a few numbers!
Last year it was like the night before the first game. And Hanlan didn't get one and then was on the bench. Apparently another "protest" statement by Slade. Don't miss him.
See, if I was manager bullshit like Page being number 2 just wouldn't fly. I'm having none of that. If 3's taken he can have 16, 21, 33 or he can do one.

Lewis Page's morale just went from "good" to "very poor".
I believe that Pearce likes the number 16 and has worn it at most clubs he has been at. (Maybe not, I checked and see he has normally been 5 but also 6. So maybe that'll be number 6)
Can see one of Kashi or Forster-Caskey being number 8, although Kashi will probably be 25. Watt will almost certainly go back to his 32. Marshall definitely number 7 with Holmes 11. If Page is still number 2, I'll have a mini freak out because I'm funny like that, a left back just can't be number 2 in my eyes, doesn't sit right with me.

Nothing better to do at 3pm on a Saturday My guess: 1 Amos 2 Page 3 DaSilva 4 JJ 5 Bauer 6 Pearce 7 Fosu 8 Crofts 9 Magennis 10 Reeves/left open 11 Holmes 12 Clarke 13 Phillips 14 Forster-Caskey 15 Konsa 16 Sarr 17 Marshall 18 KAG 19 Aribo 20 Solly 21 Dijksteel 22 Barnes 23 Hacket-Fairchild 24 Charles-Cook 25 Kashi 26 Lennon 27 Lapslie 28 Hanlan 29 Umerah 30 Novak 31 Maynard-Brewer 32 Watt

Pretty good guess @SDAddick although it'll be fantastic if we did have two Kashi's, we really would dominate midfield without trouble...
Also believe that number 10 will be Clarke. There will also be more left open for new players, ones like Hackett-Fairchild will be in the 30's I would imagine.

It'll be 'abysmal' by the time I've left him out of the Champions League squad and tried to force him to sack his agent

It really annoys me when 1st year youth players want numbers 1-11 as there preference. Who do they think they are? What happened to earning your number? Youngsters these days have too much too young.
It would be so much easier if we just allocated shirt numbers alphabetically. Actually thats madness; and would mean Amos gets 1, and that must go to a sweaty scottish defender.

I agree completely. If they're a decent youngster I'll give them a higher equivalent of their number but if they're some space-filling no-mark they can have 52 and like it.
One of my pet peeves in FM is when you've built a legacy at a club, decide to move on to spice things up, come up against your old team again and find that the new manager has given the star striker number 6, the reserve keeper is now 1 because it's his favourite, the left back is 8 and the right winger is 13.

Also, think he's a top guy if he gets that fan a new shirt.

Not sure who 2 will be as I'm sure Solly will keep 20.

What is the highest squad number we've ever had? Pretty sure we've had a 40 something before
