Hi everyone, I’m new to Football Manager and I’ve just started my first FM24 save as Borussia Dortmund.
I’m trying to take full responsibility for team selection and tactics for my U19 and reserve/second team, but I’m stuck.
1) Staff Responsibilities issue (Team Selection)
In Staff Responsibilities, I don’t have the option to take over “Manage Team Selection” for the youth/reserve teams (see Picture TS2).
Is this a known restriction in FM24 (club/league dependent), or am I missing a setting somewhere?
2) U19 copying my first team tactic
When I load a tactic for my first team (see Picture T1), my U19 automatically adapts the same tactic and I can select a team based on it.
My main question:
If I pick the U19 lineup, will it actually stick, or will the U19 manager change the lineup before matches because I can’t take over “Manage Team Selection” (TS2)?
3) Changing U19 tactics
Right now, the only way I’ve found to change U19 tactics is by creating/loading a new tactic for my first team, and then the U19 adjusts automatically to the active first team tactic.
Is there any other way to set separate U19 tactics (without forcing it through my first team tactic)?
4) Reserve / Second team tactics (3. Bundesliga)
For my second team playing in 3. Bundesliga, I can’t adjust tactics at all (see Picture T3).
I can select the players, but I’m not sure if my selection will be overwritten (same concern as above, because I can’t take responsibility in TS2).
So:
Is there any way to adjust the tactics of the second team, or is it locked to the second team manager’s preferred formation/tactical style?
If it’s supposed to be controllable, where exactly do I change it?
Any step-by-step guidance would be super appreciated — I’m still learning how responsibilities + youth/reserve squads work in FM24.
This game is so buggy that it depends which team You pick But generally U19 should copy first team tactic without possibility to change it by anybody and when you get an information about match next day, You can modify a team - same reserve. Selection made in that moment shows on the pitch. Or made in time between the information and midnight. But if You play bugged team, sometimes Reserve plays their own tactics, sometimes doesn't see none of reserve players and plays only match generated-ones, and sometimes ignore your selection of players for a match. It also takes bench-players from other teams. And sometimes You can manage U19 just like first team, watch their matches and make subs and other changes during match

If you hire a manager to u19 team, then it will manage team selection. To avoid that, you need to take control of hiring staff for u19 team and avoid hiring a manager (fire the current one if it exists).
I have u21 manager and I can manage team selection. Same u18. Dont have u19 manager and same result. I think selection is always made if you don't do it. And really don't know what's the function of all these managers and assistants. Do they have any job or are they just individuals to spend money on , make nice background and nothing more? (And don't say about arranging frendlies , in this they really suck) ok they can act as a coach (with some exceptions not the best one).

Thanks! Expand In Germany a 2nd team is technically an affiliate which means it's a separate club with it's own manager and staff. So you cannot influence their tactics (it is not a bug) other than choosing the manager with a preferred formation that you want - be careful, after he joins he sometimes changes his preferred formation ... just FM being FM
2nd/reserve teams have different status in different countries so you need to figure it out, there is no general rule for all leagues.
