Celtic signed 3 Japanese players today, is there anyway that they can be added into the game?
Or will they be added when the winter update by SI is available in Feb?
Leeds1919
Ideguchi is shocking, watched him a couple of times playing for Leeds U23s was the worst player on the pitch, soon got bombed out
then again Scottish football may suit better
Footygamer
They'll be added by SI in Feb

@Footygamer How come this can't be edited using the contribute feature, is it because by default the japanese league isn't loaded or something because for ideugchi specifically it says that he hasn't been seen since FM19 (That's when I'm assuming he was last seen in a playable league) Do you want us to make a post with the data of their transfers and tag you in it for the February update aswell
Leeds1919
he never was a footballer ask any leeds fan

There is a JLeague player file out there on this site and others under the JLeague league structure post. Easiest interim solution is to use that file, load editor, change contract to Celtic for the three players (one is on loan initially). It can be used in conjunction with the sortitoutsi update. I have it working with the three players now at Celtic. See screenshot of Celtic squad and you will see the three players there.

Doesn't look like they play in the correct positions which is unfortunate, hopefully that's fixed soon. I'm kind of new to the database stuff so I don't really understand I think I'll just wait for the February update to play with the japanese bhoys.
Joe5p
I think they broadly do play in correct positions. Maeda is an AM either wing or striker and in game this is what his profile shows. Hatate is not a left back, despite some weak Scottish journalism stating he is. He mainly plays off the striker and Ideguchi is a CM.

We'll give him the benefit of the doubt his Leeds spell was in the past, so I am sure he'll have learned and progressed from his time at Leeds.
McG84
What you can do if you have the Editor, you can change the players positions to suit yourself. Actually you could make the players as good as you want too. They will defo be in the Feb update. What I did notice and a lot of ppl also noticed that Kyogo in the game speaks Serbian and Croatian and Bosnian which totally is not the case. He speaks Japanese and that's it. Hopefully in time his English will come on, still his limited English is probably still better than most of our Scottish players 🤣

where is this j league file.
McG84
Mate I noticed the skin you are using looks decent. Have you tried using Flut skin?
Flut skin is the best I've seen, I am sure other people in the forums will agree with that statement. Have you noticed that Kyogo apparently speaks Serbian and Croatian and Bosnian in the game?
Joe5p
Yeah, I switch between them, Flut is great but like OPZ Blackout too. Yeah the language issue with Kyogo is strange but SI know about it
McG84
Yeah I read someone else commenting on a Japanese player in a different league also apparently speaking those languages. Must be a bug!
I think if you use the data editor it would be easily amended by deleting them. Yeah I might need to try that OPZ Blackout skin for a season.

Japanese players aren't in FM22 full stop so you can't edit them and creating players isn't available via the collaborative update (yet).
Just because we have some of their details from FM19 doesn't make it that easy to add them in.
When you edit someone's team from Team A to Team B it's just one very simple line of XML to change it.
To (re)add a whole new player you have to add hundreds of attributes.

“Japanese players aren't in FM22 full stop so you can't edit them and creating players isn't available via the collaborative update (yet)”.
Kyogo Furuhashi is in the Celtic team and he's Japanese.

To be more precise, it's Japan-based players which cannot be shown in FM due to licensing issues. The official transfer update is presumably only a few weeks away anyway, just wait for it and you'll be sorted.
