Each FM there seems to be a Global/World league database but this year i haven't been able to find one. so I thought, why not make my own!
1024 Teams, 10 Tiers, 51 leagues, 1 Global Cup, *Division cups
*NEW - Added new 32 team league version! teams play each other once, 6 tiers, made it more for fun however i made sure fixtures don't clash, please feel free to check it out!
*Version without Russian clubs now available
This is my very first FM database I've made, please comment any constructive feedback or criticisms you may have. I hope you check it out, see what you think and hopefully have some fun with it. *I've made many changes and additions since this first come out because of you guys/girls and to my discord members so thank you to all of you who have downloaded and contributed so far! unless you want me to make changes, this is my last planned update
*Luxembourg is the nation used for this database. if you add other nations as playable or playable/view only etc then you may experience game issues
For the benefit of those who don't know where to put the file download, read below

Great job!.
The only negative thing is that the value of the players is too low, you can buy Vinícius Júnior or Mbappé for 10 million or less.Nevermind, I forgot to disable Daveincid's pack.
DavidCarter
Thank Kaztek, much appriciate the feedback! I'm doing a online save with a few friends atm and you still have a valid point. I feel that some players values have changed espeicially in the lower tiers “possibly because of the competition reputations”
After going on holiday for a few seasons and checking the bank balance of a handful of bigger and smaller clubs, I adjusted the prize money a little to make the majority of clubs more sustainable to counteract the value hike.
bossmac001
The competition schedule is a bit small. If you choose a weaker team to be eliminated early in the cup, I hope you can add one or two more events.
DavidCarter
Hey Boss, I Agree that only having 1 cup competition kinda sucks a little bit. If I can reschedule the season a little, I may be able to squeeze a division cup “UCL/Europa league style” across each division so every team has something that they can compete to win something!
First half of the season is quite intense with the world cup getting in the way, so on the alternative weeks of the Super cup in the 2nd half of the season will be the most likely to fit something in.
DavidCarter
As i'm playing the save with a few friends, I'm learning more about it and I've already seen that a rule I put in has affected most clubs in a way i didn't anticipate.
I put a rule in from Championship to Div 8 that a team can have 3 loan players in the 99 man squad and no loan players in the Premier league. for the next upload i will do, this will be removed and I will replace this with "1 HGC player between ages of 0-21 for a match day squad" across all divisions.
I will also re-evaluate the TV/Prize money situation as I'm aware that some clubs will be fine as it is but particually premier league clubs will lose huge sums of money playing in the 2nd-4th tiers.
bossmac001
"I'm very happy to see your reply. If we can add a cup match to give lower level teams hope of winning the championship, then this will be a great database.". Thank you for your hard work.
DavidCarter
I've started working on a cup for Prem/Championship A/B “64 teams” 8 group of 8 teams, play each other once. top 2 in each group go to last 16 “2 legged ties" all the way to the final at Wembley.
If it works without any fixture congestions, i will then pass this competition system down to each tier from Div 1 to Div 8 will compete in their own cup competitions.
Also, I've now added VAR and Goal Line Tech to every division and adjusted the premier league TV money to 75 million per club.
It may take me a few weeks to complete this but I can't wait to finish it!

crash error while setup game.(sorry for translate)
bossmac001
I am looking forward to your next update. If you can add another cup game, loan players, and solve the problem of player value, then this will be the best league database patch in my opinion. "It would be even more perfect if the default language of Luxembourg could be changed to English, and now all players are required to learn Luxembourg.". (Machine Translation)
DavidCarter
On the editor now, Currently reworking the structure.
Prem to have 24 teams, everyone else to have 20 teams “should be easier to install a 2nd cup competiton”
Adjusting the reputation of the leagues as well, “no idea how much of a affect it will have on player values” was previously 200,190,180,170 etc etc now starting at 190,170,150,140,130 etc etc.
No new competiton added as of yet, also haven't found a way to change the default language, not for the want of trying but if i say change it to english, it may give a advantage to the english nations so as it stands, it's technically fair for everyone “admititedly annoying”
mjwaterboy
crashes everytime during set up
DavidCarter
For those suffering with setting up the game, I can only predict what/why it's crashing as for me, it's never crashed during set up or playing the game.
When i set up the game, no other nations are loaded up, I could be wrong of course but i suspect for some of you, this may be why it's crashing “screenshots attached”
Expect a update somepoint today/tomorrow!
bossmac001
If allowed, I would also like to make two suggestions, including adding some competition awards, and setting a transfer deadline. In short, this patch has become more and more perfect.
DavidCarter
I'll look into that, Awards should be doable.
Regarding a transfer deadline, are you talking about the number of transfers a club can do in a window/year or something else? the 2 transfer windows should be working fine.
DavidCarter
I may, just may have sneaked in a mini UCL/Europa League style comp into the database.
Premier League and Championship together “64 teams”
League 1 “80 Teams”
League 2 “80 Teams”
League 3 “80 Teams”
League 4 “80 Teams”
Group stage: 16 groups play each other once, top team goes through to last 16 then 2 legged ties till the final and nice juicy prize money to play for.
The only small niggle i have is that Prem/Champ teams start in January, the others start in October BUT the fact that one is in place without fixtures overlapping or any Saturday/Monday/Wednesday gameweeks, I'm delighted about.
I'll test it out first but hopefully, A update will come out soon.
Also added awards for the Global Premier League
bossmac001
I hope that the top leagues can have registered places on loan, otherwise some potential new stars will not play and practice football. Also, the current loan can be recalled at any time. When I use it, I can conduct transfer transactions at any time. I don't know if anyone else has this situation
DavidCarter
I'll double check but I “should” have taken away all the loan rules across all leagues in the latest update.
I'm aware of the recalling of loans at any time, haven't looked at fixing as of yet but I'll try and find a solution for that 👍🏻
bossmac001
I am very looking forward to your third version, and will reopen it when you release the third version. thank you
steggers
Im excited to see this, Loving this Format so far and cant wait for the update !
I played a simialr save to this before the prize money was really overtuned ( think champions league prize per game) but i love this premise
When can we expect to see an update ?
DavidCarter
Hey Steggers, thanks for the feedback and comment. I'm glad your having a great time with it.
I'm putting a lot of free time into the editor “and holiday mode" ATM. Without making promises, I hope to get a update out in the next week or two.
To everyone, I'm sorry it ain't perfect, there is things I'm still not happy with. I'm learning as I go and still tweaking with schedules etc etc.
steggers
Happy to help test the file if you need any help , Shoot me a PM
DavidCarter
UPDATE: Some really good news! Managed to make a scheduled that works with no horrible fixture congestion with League and 2 cups “for top 6 tiers”
*Players can no longer be recalled from Loan
*1 match ban for Red cards instead of 3 match bans
*Rescheduled the Global Super Cup “3rd round will affect teams with players in the World Cup”
Will Upload shortly, Please let me know what you think of the changes and what you want added/what I have missed!
Simon Holty
Excellent news, cannot wait for the update let me know when the new patch is out. Excellent work
DavidCarter
It's up now Simon 👍🏻
Simon Holty
Excellent, thank you
DzidekLFC
is there any option to delete russian clubs from this league ? thanks
DavidCarter
Funnily enough, someone from my discord asked me the same thing and I'm happy to work on deleting all Russian clubs.
If anyone else wants the Russian clubs removed, comment DELETE RUSSIA below. I should be able to make a seperate version of this without Russian clubs
DzidekLFC
DELETE RUSSIA is there any option to remove it today and can u put clubs in order of finances and history not by reputation. it's funny that premier league teams play in lower division with very bad teams from different countries of europe haha
DavidCarter
Hey Dzidek, that's a fair comment. the issue is with doing that, if i did it by order of Finanace, Barcelona with -43 million in their bank account wouldn't even get into the save.
Most of the teams in the higher divisions have more history and success than half of the premier league clubs, admittedly some of the clubs in some leagues are a little bit outclassed early on. But as i see it, the highest rep teams have earned the right to be there and it is the fairest way to select teams rather than what league they play in real life.
DzidekLFC
in first look it was looking so random because there are some good teams in shit division but for Career mode it's very good opportunity. all i need is database without russian clubs tbh haha
