How To Fix “You Must Assign A Manager Located In The Lower Right Of The Screen” On EA FC 24?

To fix “You Must Assign A Manager Located In The Lower Right Of The Screen” on EA FC 24, you can check the manager assignment, use a different manager, and check for game updates. You can also clear the game cache to resolve this issue.

1. Check Manager Assignment

The first step is to ensure that a manager is indeed assigned to your team. Navigate to your squad screen and confirm that a manager is present and correctly slotted in.

• Go to the ‘Ultimate Team’ mode from the main menu.
• Navigate to the ‘Squad’ tab.
• Check the lower right corner of the screen to see if a manager is present. If not, select the manager slot and choose a manager from your club to assign.

If the issue persists, try swapping out your current manager for a different one. It could be that the game is not registering the manager correctly, and changing to a different manager might resolve this.

• Still in the ‘Squad’ tab, go to ‘Squad Actions’ by pressing the appropriate button (this varies by platform, but it’s often indicated on the screen).
