Here you go, right click and save the picture as 735 then place in backgrounds folder
rouchie
Don;t know what went wrong but renamed image as 735 as you suggested and pasted in to the background folder, but both the new and the old image were there? and the old image still displayed even after reloading skin, deleted the old image but now nothing displays?
VP.
Try this one.

I have just downloaded all the updates for the facepacks and had no problems with any of them
VP.
Just download fine for me, what browser are you using and is the definitely enough space on you HD for the file?

Yeh loads of room,,, brand new laptop. Tried with and without VPN,,, will try on another browser,, but all the other facepack updates downloaded fine.

Update: Problem is at my end ,, as I tried to re-download one of the facepack updates I know was working and now it wont work either. I am totally stumped tho as to what has suddenly stopped me accessing them. I just took up my subscription last night,, downloaded about 10 updates no problem and the license fix for German national team,,, and now all of a sudden I cant access anything,, £10 well spent then lol.
Have no idea what to try next,,, guess am just going to have to forget about it for now then

You could try a free download manager https://www.lifewire.com/free-download-managers-4129266

Ok so now I knew what was causing it I looked into AVG settings a little more. When you initially turned off AVG there is two main options, Behaviour Shield and File Shield (I didn't turn off from the system tray icon instead opening up the program via the desktop icon) .
To begin with I turned both off and that is when everything started working again,,, now with it downloading I tried to re-apply the Behaviour Shield ,,, and monitored for a few secs to see if the download would continue or stop. When it kept downloading, this pointed towards the problem being the File Shield. I then went into File shield settings and looked at the exclusions tab. In there you can set up file paths to not be scanned. So in there I set up file path exclusions to where I save any of my Sortitoutsi FM stuff,, I also set one up for the default graphics folder ( Documents - Sports Interactive - FM 2018 - Graphics // ) and one for the skins folder,,, in case I ever try to install a skin in future.
Everything carried on downloading and finished as normal. I have no idea why to begin with there was no problem,, or if something it detected while attempting the backgrounds file did it and it decided to block everything from the same origin afterwards.
Anyway perhaps the Mods might want to put something up on a sticky or something as there must be lots of people who use AVG and might encounter the same problem and end up just giving up.

What skin are you using as can be an issue with some not showing backgrounds. If you're using the default skins try this https://sites.google.com/site/michaeltmurrayuk/Skins/fm18-match-day-background-mod

How can I fix this?

I am using the default version of Wannachup. I'll try moving that out of the FM folders to see if the backgrounds will work.
EDIT: It did not work. There shouldn't be anything else in my graphics file that messes with the background. I'll include a picture of my files. The folder titled "Premier League" is just EPL 3d kits.

I've really got no idea as everything you have done is correct, have you also cleared cache and reloaded skin in preferences?
I think the problem is currently with all files on the site and will hopefully be fixed soon.

Do you know where I can report this issue other than in this forum? Because it's been two days now and I don't experience the issue with any other file here at Sortitoutsi. I can't wait to use this background package
VP.
Here's the best place as I'll see it, I've let @Rob know so shouldn't be long before its working again.

As @ama has said the file is now available again, apologies for the wait but sadly not everything can be fixed instantly.
