Hi Everyone,
I worked on this for years.
As an Old FM fan, it became reallly frustrating to see ex-players (most of them LEGENDS) were part of my staff and then the following year they just dissapeared from the game database.
That´s why I gathered information and created them and made it part of my database.
The list it's long, that's why I attached an excel spreadsheet with all the names I added (the ones in green are already there). The ones that are not highlighted should be added soon (next version).
I´m also providing the face pack for them so you don't need to manually search for them.
You will find some duplicated ones and some pictures that do not belong to the list, you just can ignore them
I know this can generate divided opinions, but I re-added Mason Greenwood and Benjamin Mendy to the game and banned them for the entire 22-23 season.
In addition, I added Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal) and Lamine Yamal (Barcelona).
We are talking about +300 ex-players added. Hope you like this!
Note: This is my first time uploading material. Please be kind.
Also, I you will like to see some others Legends/Ex-Players added, just le me know and I will work on it.
Instructions:
Paste the ‘Legacy Database’ file on the editor data folder and the ‘XYZ’ folder inside the faces folder.

Could you add Peter Lovenkrands to any future updates? He was regular on all FM databases up until 2023 and seems missing this year.
darkbeforedawn
I'm having the same issue. Did you manage to get it resolved? Cheers.
Eloy Gabriel Nuñez
You need to put the folder called 'XYZ´ inside the faces folder, they must show up after that
Eloy Gabriel Nuñez
Sure, let me work on it
darkbeforedawn
That worked perfect mate. Thank you!

@Eloy Gabriel Nuñez I love this pack, added it to my game then immediately "brought home" my old Newcastle favourites
Eloy Gabriel Nuñez
I will be adding Jonas Gutiérrez, Robbie Elliot and Rob Lee soon.
If there is any person you want me to add just let me know.
Thanks for your kind words, this took me lot of time and it's nice to know that there is people who appreciate your hard work.

@Eloy Gabriel Nuñez this is fantastic as there are many people missing. Just to ask, how do you add someone from the FM database who isn't in the current game? For example if there's someone missing we particularly want to add who we can find in here? Are you able to provide the method used?
Eloy Gabriel Nuñez
Hi mate, honestly I take players nobody uses like from for example macedonian third division, bahamas 2nd division and change their information with the legends information. I use past edition editors to get all the info, also using wikipedia and transfermarkt.
Hope this helps.
xbenjaminx
Yeah a little bit, but then is it possible to change the unique id to the correct database number?
Eloy Gabriel Nuñez
Nope, you can't change ID #'s.
You have to create them from scratch.
xbenjaminx
Ah that's a shame. You'd think there'd be a way to link them or a global database you can import the players you want from. I mean I'd mainly use it to do what you've done and add missing legends from my club (Portsmouth) and anyone else I realised was missing.
Eloy Gabriel Nuñez
I had the same question years ago but unfortunately you can´t bring single players from past dabase.
Let me know which ex-players you want to be added to this database and I´ll create them for you.
xbenjaminx
Appreciated. I'll have a think about it and let you know. Incidentally, if a player is just retired and not really doing anything presently how do you address this? Do you create them simply as a retired person or do you make them a coach etc?
I also really wish there was a club ambassador type role available.

MisterBaker
Not sure if you're still working on this but wondered if it was possible to have the staff members added to a shortlist which we can download? Not a problem if not, still actively recruiting those legacy members for my backroom team 🙂 Thank you!

Where is Lamine Yamal in this database? I cant find him in Barcelona
CAD91
Bonjour
Je pense qu’il y a un problème sur ta base de données
Lamine Yamal n’est pas présent dans la base de donnée...
il n’est ni en équipe première, ni en B, ni chez les U19
même l’autre jeune d’arsenal que tu as dis n’est pas présent dans le jeu
Nico Nisivoccia
And Uruguay??????
