Using avoir in future anterior

Why is this incorrect?

They will have been experts in their field

Elles auront été .....

When I click on 'explain this' I see conjugation of avoir in future anterior. But the question said I should use être not avoir. One of the examples given has the same construction. Why cant I use avoir? I'm confused now how to form ' will have been. Advice appreciated

Thanks

Not a question, but a comment.

This is how clueless I am. At reading the sentence about the missing ring I wondered at first; "Did he steal a ring from her?" It took this 61 year-old a minute to grasp that he took the ring in order to get her ring-size! (I must admit, I would never have thought of that!) Gary

I'm getting confused as to how and when to use the verb convenir. Does 'to suit' mean as ' la rose va a ma sour?'
