If you're wondering why lots of players are missing from the Japan leagues such as Gaku Shibasaki, Marcos Junior and Juan Mata it's because Japan is missing around 150 players in FM24 due to licensing reasons.
This file will add as many of those players as possible back in.
UPDATE 9th November: Fixes made to weights and removing duplicate players that SI have since added.

life saver!
Tommy Hughes
Beautiful! Thanks so much!
AiZaK
Are you going to add facepack???
Latrell yard man
i am shocked there where so many missing that is a huge number.
Footygamer
This file was just updated to fix an issue with some players being assigned random positions.
AiZaK
Guys… Juan Mata delete his central defense position please
AiZaK
Marcos Junior in Sanfrecce Hiroshima its the same like Mata, he is not central defense, delete please!
Argie86.x
Marcos Junior is duplicated, he appears in sanfrecce and yokohama squads.
td_1985
Júbilo Iwata: Lee Kyung-Soo
Júbilo Iwata: Ri Kyongsu
Could Lee Kyong-Soo be canceled (=duplicate of Ri Kyongsu)
Thank you
AiZaK
Vinicius Araujo (FC Imabari) the same. Why all players who are forwards/delanteros you add central defense??? Maybe you add central defense at 80% of that list… 😢
GittosGaming
also everyone is showing up as 4"11
Kogarasumaru
Non-Japanese added players (like Juan Mata, Marcos Junior, Balint Vecsei, etc) are all 150cm tall.
Kogarasumaru
Also, Kashiwa Reysol manager has a fake name (Manoel Vaz Franco). His real name is Nelson Baptista Júnior, but he's known as Nelsinho Baptista.

Can you add a player ‘Nam Tae Hee’ in Yokohama FM plz?
Kyrainus
Absolutley mint from you guys, but this is a really bad look on SI´s Part
So many Players missing is just a huge whiff if you ask me
Greentrunk
Cracking work OP!
I agree why do a big thing about having the J-League and then its like Fifa's Italian Serie A.
...KäoS...
The coach of Sanfrecce Hiroshima is not Niko Ammann as the game says, it is Michael Skibbe.
Footygamer
This was already fixed before you posted, the game was auto generating random positions where no rating was set for that position.
More fixes coming soon.
doom_master
If it helps, these were the dupes I found: Shunta Araki, Akinori Ichikawa, Shun Takagi, Yoshihiro Shimoda, Hisatoshi Nishido, Holneiker Mendes Marreiros, Lee Kyung-Soo (duplicate of Ri Kyongsu), Kazuma Yamaguchi, Leon Nozawa, Shinya Nakano, Marcos Júnior, Hidemasa Koda, Yuta Arai.
There's also the player height issue as well. As for the coaches, they all have fake names due to licensing issues, I'm not sure if you're planning on having a go at fixing them, or if you're going to keep this a players only fix.

Gamba Osaka: Akinori Ichikawa
Ichikawa, who was transferred from Yokohama FC Osaka to Gamba Osaka, will be transferred to Gamba Osaka in August. Even without editing
Footygamer
Sorry for the duplicates this work was originally based off the beta and it seems like they've added some in the 2 weeks since. It's hard to know if they're going to keep drip feeding them in which will keep causing duplicates.
AiZaK
Hi Footygamer, maybe the game add random position if you put 0 in that? and you must put 1 in left back, defense central, etc etc…???
Thanks for your work!
Footygamer
Yes but that should already have been fixed in the second update
AiZaK
Thank you mate!

Thanks Footygamer!!! Is anyone doing the facepack????
If nobody are going to do, I can do it, but I will finish near 1 week… or I don't know
Tofke
Awesome Footygamer, thanks for your work!
