This file is a template for you to look at the advanced rules for European Comps
you can use it to edit existing rules or add another comp/s such as the ESL
MY GUIDE TO ADVANCED RULES SHOULD BE READ TOO- https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57138/how-to-access-advanced-rules
NB This file was created using the default DB as I use that you might have to save the file in the 21.4 DB if you want to use this in game- so if you open it in the editor using 21.4 DB you will get a message saying there may be errors due to the file being made on an earlier database this is normal
NB I have had issues previously with people passing/posting my files as their own work so do not repost on any other site without my permission to do so
Download the file and just place into: Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\editor data
The only change made in this File is the Substitute rule in the Super Cup changed to 10 from 12 for trial purposes- so remove if you do not want this.
Delete any other previous versions you have of this file
Open the game and start a new career
Select Database
Then a drop down menu appears of all files in your edited data folder
make sure the file/s you want to use are checked with a tick and then you are good to go

NB due to the nature of this file it cannot be tested in the editor, so when you make changes you have to save them using EXPORT the file has to be XML
you by pass this[verification] by getting the file ‘’game ready ‘’ by using notepad +++ or just notepad
open the xml file
remove that line below
It will now look like this
then save it ..its now good to go

NB when you come to add squad rules as I show in image above the overall squad rules has been buggy for approx 5 + years in continental rules
so to save the hassle use match day rules it works just as well there will be no overall squad but you can impose rules to individual clubs /teams from a league if you wish have a go there are lots of options
image shows an example of match day rules that can be added

Hi bud this looks awesome. Is there any chance you can do one for the FIFA Club world Cup?? Ive tried to create one this year and had no luck. Maybe with a similar template it would be easier for my to re-create. Thanks
kingrobbo
you can do the same for international rules following the instructions in the read me guide https://sortitoutsi.net/content/57138/how-to-access-advanced-rules
just the file will need to be set to international rules rather than continental rules at the end

Hi Bud thanks for the speedy response. I have already tried the instructions you had posted before. The FIFA Club World Cup is a nightmare to edit this year. It didn't work in the game when I made changes to the file. I also re-created the competition from scratch with the new format but I could only get it to work for the first season. It would not run after the first season.

Hi! I've a kind of annoying bug in the game with the uefa competitions, in the group stages some of the groups have a wrong schedule, with teams either starting with 2 home or 2 away games, instead of the classic format. I hoped i could fix this via Your editor template, with setting the fixture order to ‘double last game’ even in the individual group rules, but nothing changed. Could you help wich settings should i change to fix this? Anyway great work!

hi. i looked into the template but couldnt find the rules i want to really edit.
i want to change the FFP rules for Champions League and Europa League, i want to increase the amount of minimum loss. for example i did this for EPL and Championship, increased the loss allowed to 500million so teams wont get penalized.
can you help me do this?
kingrobbo
you select add to create a new set of the fixture rules
then set up as you want them
then the ffp rules are there too and you can edit as you want as well have a play around
NB read the sticky thread on advanced rules -use match day rules overall squad rules always seems bugged in continental advanced rules
I impose harsh rules to stop the elites being dominant no losses financially allowed
and harsher match day rules for individual clubs 1 non EU player etc etc
