Help How to find out why a player is unhappy (Unh icon)

[Anders]

I have noticed that a few players have exclamation marks against their names during matches when checking tactics/subs. The exclamations don't show up any other times, e.g. pre-match.

When I've looked, it seems the players are unhappy, but I've no idea about what. Any ideas please?

In my experience, someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but it can be either there tired or playing badly.

Same with Rich, tired or playing badly seems to be the most common. Try to rest him for 1 game and see what happens.

I've had it where it's nothing to do with Condition, as I showed with screenshots over on the SIGames forums: https://community.sigames.com/forums/topic/539697-blue-exclamation-icon/?do=findComment&comment=12803984

But that was supposed to be fixed two versions ago. Are you on the latest version? 

Anyway, if it is to do with conditioning, give him a rest. If that doesn't help, then maybe he's slightly unhappy for some reason. A new contract should sort that out.

I'm on the latest version.

It appears a new contract was what he wanted. He didn't even want a wage rise, although £6m signing on fee would improved my mood too! I will do this with all the other players too 🤞

Thanks for the help on this. All the unhappy players signed new contracts, and only De Jong insisted on a wage increase. Team already feel like they are playing better.

I've got something similar, but I think it's because I fined a reserve player (or two), for disrupting training, being more interested in texting etc, I've steadily built up from formal warning, 1 week fine to 2 week fines. They don't seem to make any difference at my current club, previously they've changed an attribute or 2 when I've fined them actual money.

The annoying thing is I can't offload the player as no-one wants them and they're contract is long as they're youth players.

I've not had that scenario, what a PITA. When I've had the occasional young player disrupt training I went straight to 1 week's wages fine and that worked. I'd try to get rid, even if it means offering to clubs at a low-low price. Alternatively, are they too good / expensive (wage wise) to just release? (I can only offer youth players 3 year contracts.)

A new contract doesn't appear to have lasted for Haaland, who is unhappy again. He doesn't want a new contract because he's just signed one. He's the best paid player in the world. He plays almost every game, although he missed a few recently due to injury. His form is excellent. There seem to frustratingly few options to deal with this.

I just had to wait long enough, and then Haaland was happy after signing another contract.
