You need to copy and overwrite the faces and the new config file from the update pack into the faces folder.
If done correctly, you should be asked if you want to overwrite files – accept. You should have one folder for faces and another folder for iconfaces, and no sub-folder whatsoever in them.
These steps are to be repeated for every update pack downloaded, and they are to be installed chronologically.

It's a known issue with FM26 - read this. We're assuming this issue will get resolved in upcoming official patches/updates.
The new players were added before FM26 was released and didn't have the right UID yet. We've started the process of mapping them to the correct person's UID.
When you have a blank space instead of a cut-out, it means there is a config file pointing to a folder in which an image with that UID is not present. This generally happens when an update pack is installed in a separate folder and not part of the overall faces folder, or there is a rogue config file somewhere. It could also be that you have somehow not downloaded the full megapack but only part of it. Search within the graphics folder for the UID of this person, and you will probably find the secondary image. Delete that folder, and it should be fine.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
Otherwise, follow the steps in this comment and post the results so that we can assist you.
In line with guidance on the official SI forums, At present, FM26 cannot handle multiple files with the same name. For example, if you have two files with the name "kit.png", it will not load both. and Player Faces: These work fine. You do not need the icon files anymore, and they can cause issues with the note above. Delete them.
As a result, the iconfaces are no longer available for download because they're not needed. You should also delete the iconfaces folder manually from your system too 👍

You need to change your user data location. Simple steps on how to do so can be found here.
It is recommended that the user data location is not placed within the Steam installation folder as this may cause issues.

The torrent file includes the base megapack uploaded just before that year’s FM version is released. Any and all subsequent update packs are to be downloaded separately.
For those who have never used torrents, in the vast majority of cases, it's just a question of downloading the client program (a small file, less than 1MB) and then downloading the megapack torrent file (a tiny file, around 20k) and then letting the program do the job.
Torrent files need a torrent client to be downloaded. I personally use µTorrent but other common clients are BitTorrent, Vuze and Deluge. For those using torrents for the first time, here is a general walk-through on how to download torrents and a specific guide for µTorrent.
Be aware that it will take a substantial amount of time to download the file due to its sheer size and that other people depend on you hosting the file to get it so please leave your torrent client on after you have fully downloaded it. The etiquette is generally accepted to be to upload as much as you download, although this might not always be possible. The older the torrent file, the less likely it is that there will still be users seeding it.

Please report this so that they can be reuploaded. Since the files are hosted outside our pages, there isn't much we can do about this unfortunately. You could try downloading the pack via torrent and get it this way.
Extracting the file will take a while, but it shouldn't take the hours and hours that the program extracting will sometimes say it will. To speed it up, it is recommended that you have as few programs running as possible so that the system can dedicate as many resources to the extraction as it possibly can.
Secondly, for files as large as this, the calculation of the extraction time will be wildly incorrect at the start. After a while, it'll show a more realistic timeframe, which shouldn't be more than an hour or two if you have a good setup and few programs running at the same time.

You might have a poor internet connection or your browser might have some extensions which interrupt this download. Having loads of downloads ongoing and/or streaming may also de-prioritise this download.
Try using Google Chrome in incognito mode (or the equivalent mode for other browsers) and you should be able to resume the download from the point it was interrupted, if that happens.

The most recent update pack will include the most recent config file, so you can choose to download it and use it from there.
Alternatively, you can download fmXML and generate a config yourself. There's a video on YouTube on how to use it but it's really easy and the instructions are quite straight-forward.

Down the years, after an update pack was released, it was noted that some images included therein where of the wrong person, with a wrong extension or duplicated. Due to the way the download system is structured, these cannot be removed from the download, so there may well be a couple of hundred images’ worth of difference, depending on the version you download.
Our megapack covers 25,000 teams and it's impossible to cater for these kind of requests since players and staff get transferred or sacked or retire etc and recreating and reuploading 25,000 different smaller packs would be an impossible task. That's why we have all the images in a megapack so that everything is captured therein.
These persons do not appear in the default database for licensing reasons. This means that they only appear in your save-game because they were added via a custom file, generally the real name fix file. However, this means that their UID (which is what is used to map a person's image to the right individual) is different, and so the game cannot assign the image to them from your existing facepack.
To get them to show, you should individually download any previously available cut-out faces from here (or use the UID to find them in your existing facepack if you don't use the cut-out megapack), put them in a separate folder to your existing facepack and create a config file just for them using the method outlined in here (which works for all facepack styles, not just the cut-out megapack).

It's a licensing issue. Download this file (or the equivalent for your version of FM) to resolve it.

Hi, I downloaded the DF11 facepack and followed all the steps shown in youtube video by @WorkTheSpace. I did not have a graphics file so made one as instructed and put the file in there and extracted it. I have then loaded the game up and cleared cache and reloaded skins and I still don’t see the faces. I’m not sure what I’ve done wrong or how to fix it. Any help appreciate as I’m new to FM on pc

Show us where you made the folder at your computer

As per above @HaydenLockwood

Currently at work, will send it in a few hours.

Best to have a screenshot because that's not the right folder where graphics should go.
HaydenLockwood
I’ll send a pic when I’m home from work if that’s okay would really appreciate the help
mons
I have no idea what the issue is and where it started. Help us help you by providing screenshots and an explanation…

thanks

As explained, that's not where this file should be installed. Remove it from there, and watch this video on where to install it:
There should be multiple mirrors available to download the update packs. Which one are you using and do you get this error message with the others?
masmoudi
2025.02, Miroir :frdl.to..... Miroir Jusst 1 : ree dlink
masmoudi
sorry my englis is so bad.. I only have one mirror available and it doesn't work. the other 2025.01 have passed but this one is blocked
Ricardo__219

Since masmoudi is struggling with the language barrier and I'm facing the same issue, maybe I can help.
I just downloaded 2025.00 and 2025.01 update packs from depositfiles. No issues, standard procedure. However, 2025.02 only has “frdl.to” as a mirror option, and when selecting that option, I am presented with a server connection error.
TheIronCurtin
Once Rar file is downloaded an error occurs when you try to use the Unarchiver tool. Is anyone aware ion the issue or have any idea on how to fix this?
mons
Thanks for this; bit hard for me to help if I can't tell what's wrong. Tagging @Footygamer to see if anything can be done about it 👍
Use Winrar.
Footygamer
@lyonharted the frdl issue is fixed now.
I'll look into why it only has one mirror
mons
👍
Tagging in @masmoudi too, since his original query prompted lyonharted's
lyonharted
@mons @Footygamer Looks like the downloads and mirrors are fixed. Thank you for that. However, something is still weird with the depositfiles link. I can't unzip it, whether I use my usual 7zip or the recommended WinRAR. The download from frdl unzips fine, thankfully.
masmoudi
thank you so much @mons and sorry for my poor english 🙂

Hello, the megapack came out defective, it won’t open. Version 2025.02 - Football Manager Cut-Out Player Faces Megapack Megapack https://sortitoutsi.net/graphics/megapack/1041
mons
If it's a anti-virus notification, it'll be a false positive. There's nothing wrong with it. Alternatively, it could be that the file wasn't fully downloaded.
Without screenshots, I can't tell much more than that…
Ruslan-777
I downloaded it properly, I'll attach screenshots. After the download it says file is broken. I don't know how to attach a screenshot here. The downloaded file from the archive does not open. I would be grateful if you give this working file
mons
I'm afraid it's still not clear to me what the issue might be. Will await screenshots 👍

error :

the archive is either in unknow format or damaged.

Are you sure the file downloaded fully? What program are you using to extract the downloaded file?
Ruslan-777
I solved the problem and downloaded from another browser. Everything is fine. Thank you.
