Chido Obi-Martin (Man Utd)

I cant seem to find this guy on here or in the latest update? He's recently signed for Man Utd from Arsenal, I thought he'd be on here as he's highly rated and 16 year old….

Until there's an official announcement…?

By the way, if you find any deals not updated in the database, you may contribute and submit an entry: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/contribute 

Thanks mate I cant find him in the game playing for Arsenal to transfer him over to Utd myself in the editor either, so im wondering if he's even in the game unless i've missed him or opened the wrong data file.

I'm an absolute newbie at this so wasnt confident to try the contribute bit. haha

If you follow football, you can contribute. Nothing to do with being a newbie or whoever, or being confident or not!  

"Our Football Manager Transfer Update is a community effort built by fans of Football Manager just like you.

Anybody can submit changes and request that they be included in our Football Manager Data Update so if you find something that is out of date, get involved!"

The fact is that you should know more about your local teams than many people here. If there's a transfer deal you're aware, then just help update the database. 

By the way, this may be the reason: https://www.reddit.com/r/footballmanagergames/comments/1cm2gsl/where_is_chido_obimartin/  

If you really want him in the game, then: https://www.passion4fm.com/next-generation-wonderkids-database/ 

Appreciate the reply but whether im confident to contribute is personal preferance. I know its open to anyone as you state but I just personally wasnt comfortable attempting that so that is why I chose to post on here for the first time… cheers though.

I assumed he was too young when the game was built but there's been mutliple updates since so I would hace thought he'd be added to the Arsenal squad in subsequent updates but clearly not.

That passion4fm link is great thanks, have a good day mate. 

Good, so it's about personal preference, never about newbies or not. 

By the way, it's nothing complicated: If you find that somebody joins another club, just fill in the blanks (e.g. new club, contract information), and submit the proof (e.g. some posts from a news website). It's even easier than posting in the forum here… 

Never mind, I'm not here to convince you for anything anyway… I just don't understand why it needs any confidence or courage at all to contribute. That's all. 

Have fun playing! 

he is in the under18 for Man Utd  and his name in game is Chido Obi

He has announced his departure from Arsenal. (Reference: https://www.instagram.com/p/C-BJSDqM_Ja/ )

However, as of today, the player hasn't officially signed for Man Utd yet. (Reference: https://x.com/AcademyScoop/status/1834669837240745985 , https://x.com/Utdtruthful/status/1834670311486157285 ) 

There's no announcement on the official web site. Yes, it's expected to be a matter of time, but technically, he's not on the squad list. 

Anyway, just some information… that's all. 

Manchester United have finally received approval from the Premier League to complete the signing of goalscoring sensation Chido Obi-Martin, confirms Fabrizio Romano.

Why still no Obi Martin is still not at Manchester United?

He has signed, been announced by Man Utd.

Much appreciated mate!

Sorry to be a pain mate, I read the “Read me” file but im a bit uncertain what to do? When I've dropped the images into the Graphics folder nothing happens, im reluctant to drop the config file into there in case it overwrites the config file already in the Graphics folder.

What do you think about placing the images in a new folder… inside the "graphics" folder? 

No interference, easy to manage,… 

By the way, what do you mean by “nothing happens”? 

There are 2 parts: new players and their photos. 

So, first things first, did you load up the editor data file successfully? Did you see those young players added to the Man Utd squad? 

If they're not there, then obviously, the photos aren't shown anywhere in your game. 

Yeah the players appear in the game now but have no profile photo's even after reloading skin etc. (Chido is doubled but I'll use the in game editor to remove 1 of his profiles)

On the read me file it mentions manually adding numbers to the faces, I tried this by renaming the image of chido to his unique ID number but it still didnt work. (I only tried it with 1 image first as a test)

I already have a folder Graphics / Faces (See attached) so placed the images individually into my faces folder but it didnt work.

So I then put the faces folder from the download into the faces folder I already have? So - Graphics / Faces / Faces and that hasnt worked.

The duplicate is caused by other custom databases you're using, as they've added their own Chido Obi. 

For the folder location, it's up to you… as the game picks up all the config.xml files within “graphics”. So, “graphics\faces\faces” or whatever under “graphics” should be fine. 

The key is to assign the images to the IDs of the players. I haven't really done it this way before, but I think just enter the IDs… 

OK, I just gave it a try: 

In the config.xml file, it writes: 

<record from="2002044048" to="graphics/pictures/person/2002044048/portrait"/>

So, it works…
