As you probably know we've been busy keeping FM24 up to date with the 24/25 Season through our Data Update and the Classic FM Project.

 

On top of all the promotions and relegations, updated club finances, latest transfers, player improvements and regressions we've now added more than 10,000 new youth players, mostly aged around 16. This means if you start a new save with our Update you'll have a whole bunch of brand new wonderkids to discover.

 

To download just visit: https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update 

 

Which players have been added

We've published a complete list of all the players added as a CSV here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y1Idx5jMltHvmIFM2IjmKYq2qXO_56aC/view 

 

Dynamic Attributes

Our Dynamic Attributes are an exciting new feature we've added that we wish was in the official game. It makes every save unique by varying the attributes of players, so a player might be world class one save and an average player in a relegation save the next. It's not totally random though, it's only randomised within a realistic range.

 

Included the Enhanced Classic FM version of the file are 10 optional files named “Classic FM - Dynamic New Players 1-10” choose a different one for each save to make sure the players you discover are different to your last save. A clear explanation on how to install these is at the end of this post.

 

How to install Dynamic Attributes

Step 1) Remove existing files

  • Remove any files named “Dynamic Data”, "Non Dynamic Data", “Dynamic New Players” or “New Players” from the "editor data" folder.
  • To remove them simply move them into the "Optional Dynamic Data" folder so they're not lost.

 

Step 2) Add a Dynamic Data File

  • Copy one version of  the "Dynamic Data" and “Dynamic New Players” files from the “Optional Dynamic Data” folder into the "editor data" folder.
  • For convenience make sure they're the same number e.g. “Dynamic Data 5” and “Dynamic New Players 5” although this doesn't actually matter if they're the same.
  • Copying is better so you don't lose the original.
  • Which file you choose doesn't matter. It might be best if you remember which ones you have used so your next game can be more unique.


HOW TO UN-INSTALL

Step 1) Remove existing files

  • Remove any files with "Dynamic" in the name from the "editor data" folder.

 

Step 2) Reinstall the "Non Dynamic Data"

  • Copy the files named "Non Dynamic Data" “New Players” from "Optional Dynamic Data" into the "editor data" folder

 

Is the Wonderkids file free?

Yes the wonderkids file containing 10,640 players is included in the normal Data Update.

However the Dynamic Attributes feature is limited to the Enhanced version through the Classic FM Project which you need to subscribe to.

another Celik duplicate from the Lens Racing Club

 

Noted. There is no need to post the same message twice, however.

 

The staff are working through some technical issues with some of New Youth Players, which is the overall priority. Once those are taken care of, I will take care of this duplicate.

another Celik duplicate from the Lens Racing Club

 

Just to confirm - as the technical issues are now behind us, I have gone ahead and removed one of the instances of Nidal Čelik, so now only one remains.

 

This should reflect in the next Data Update that is processed.

The SortItOutSI Data Update now operates a ‘rolling update’ concept - that is, the New Youth Players, Ability Submissions and general transfer updates, which are all driven by a community effort and moderated by the staff through this website - are all integrated into the central Data Update that is available for members to download via https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update.

 

There are no ‘batch updates’ that take place, as with the initial addition of around 10,000 that occurred initially.

 

Therefore, adding new players happens on an ongoing basis - members of the community submit additions and these are moderated. Any submissions that are approved get included in the next daily Data Update. For duplicates, as previously mentioned, staff need to remove these and it does help if duplicates are reported through this thread. We also try and prevent them, ourselves, through accurate moderation of submissions - but some do slip through.

 

Are you maybe confusing this update with the fairly populate one hosted on this website at https://sortitoutsi.net/content/67825/fm24-the-ultimate-new-wonderkid-database?

The daily update was a bit delayed in getting generated/processed - this is something the team have to do manually on a daily basis. In reality, it was a small delay versus the normal timing and the exact time I corrected the duplicate compared with when the next update was processed just meant there was a slightly longer wait.

 

The version now available should have that duplication removed, along with any other changes that were made up to the point the update was processed incorporated.

 

As I have mentioned, as a general rule you can expect the Data Update to be processed once per day - so in general, changes that are made on the site (e.g. deletion of duplicates, approval of new players, approval of submitted transfers, etc) will be available in the Data Update no more than 24 hours later.

Hello, I noticed that even after just downloading the latest update for the new players, the duplicates are still in the database. How can I get them deleted? I'm told it's been done, but Celik still has two duplicates.

Hello, I noticed that even after just downloading the latest update for the new players, the duplicates are still in the database. How can I get them deleted? I'm told it's been done, but Celik still has two duplicates.

 

I have checked at my end, downloading the latest version of SortItOutSI Data Update from https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update.

 

The first step I took to check the contents was to load up the main ‘Changes’ file in the Pre-Game Editor. There, I can clearly see there is only one Nidal Čelik - which is what I would expect, based on the data I can see on the site.

 

Next, I started a new game and ensured I had enabled all of the files that are part of the SortItOutSI Data Update - and no other files. This part is crucial - and is what I suspect is happening for you: I think you maybe have additional custom editor files that are also enabled, alongside the SortItOutSI Data Update.

 

The result, in my game, is that there is only one Nidal Čelik.

 

I would strongly recommend that you check your ‘editor data’ folder and verify what you have in there is:
 

  • only one copy of the SortItOutSI Data Update (just in case you have somehow ended up with more than one copy of any of the files - although I doubt this would be the case)
  • no other custom editor files that add new players. If you're using extra custom files and they are also adding (for example) Nidal Čelik, this is what will be causing the duplication. I think this is the most likely cause

 

If you are struggling to identify what the cause is, please share a screenshot of your ‘editor data’ folder that shows the full contents, as well as a screenshot of the enabled files that you choose as part of setting up a new game. I'm referring to the screen that looks like this:

 

 

This is the information required to be able to troubleshoot your specific case further. As I say, from my tests, I am fully confident that the SortItOutSI Data Update is not the cause of the duplicate appearing.

I don't understand, I already had duplicates but now if I use the sortitoutsi databases it puts everything correctly whereas if I add an update where gazidis appears, well it bugs whereas it worked well before now

I don't understand, I already had duplicates but now if I use the sortitoutsi databases it puts everything correctly whereas if I add an update where gazidis appears, well it bugs whereas it worked well before now

 

I'm afraid I can't really advise because I don't know what you're referring to when you say ‘if I add an update where gazidis appears’. I can guess that you mean you are using extra editor files, alongside the SortItOutSI Data Update.

 

In any case, here is what I would recommend you should do:

1. Go to your \Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data\ folder and make a backup of all of the contents. Copy everything that is in there and paste it into a folder somewhere else.

2. Having made that backup, delete everything in your \Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data\ folder so it is empty.

3. Download the SortItOutSI Data Update from https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update.

4. Install that downloaded version. Do not install any other files.

5. Start a new game and check to see if you have any duplicates (e.g. Nidal Celik).

 

If you do not, this shows that the SortItOutSI Data Update is not the cause of the problems you are experiencing. It is most likely that the contents of one (or more) of the other data files you are using are incompatible, or introducing problems.

 

Of course, I do not know what other files you are using. In reality, for you to have duplicates of certain players it is highly likely that you are using extra files that are adding these players. In this scenario, they are basically not designed to be used alongside the SortItOutSI Data Update - because there is an overlap in content/purpose and if this is the case, it will come down to a choice (on your part) as to which of those files that add the same players you decide to use.

Ivan Gazidis is not in the database and I had to download a database via FM Scout to retrieve the new staff file and someone created the Saint Etienne U17s for me with the U17 championship but at no time did they create Celik for RC Lens.

Understood. If it helps make things absolutely clear: it is known that there was a period of time during which Nidal Celik was duplicated in the SortItOutSI Data Update. As per our previous message exchanges in recent days.

 

The duplication was dealt with earlier this week. The current version of the SortItOutSI Data Update does not have the duplicate. So I don't think the ‘duplicate’ issue is a problem any more.

 

You're now indicating that there seems to be some other problems - though I am not sure exactly what. One thing I can say, though, is that there can be no guarantees about compatibility with other, third-party editor files that are used alongside the SortItOutSI Data Update.

 

As best I can tell, you are using some other files - those that you mentioned. You want to use those and use the SortItOutSI Data Update. That might be fine, but it might not be fine.

 

The original issue you reported was a duplicate player, which did exist in the SortItOutSI Data Update. I believe that's resolved. Is there another fault with the SortItOutSI Data Update that you have noticed? If so, can you explain what that fault is?

I think I found it, it would be the database that the person created for me, but we don't have a way to make it compatible with the database. What I don't understand is that he just created the Saint-Étienne U17 team and the championship, ranging from Ligue 1 to the departmental league, and the U17s.

Hello, I wanted to know if, after the playoffs, you were going to update the promotion/relegation process for each league, as was done for the previous version.

 

This is absolutely going to be done and, in fact, is a primary priority for the staff team in the coming days/weeks (as different leagues finish and promotions/relegations are decided).

 

There is more discussion on this topic here, including a sense of timelines: https://sortitoutsi.net/content/65384/fm24-league-updates?page=8

Hello, Quick question: Is it possible to retrieve just the file of the added players without making changes to the rosters?

 

This is not possible, unfortunately - the changes that are processed ‘through the site’ (which includes updated transfers/contracts, as well as the newly-created players) are all done programmatically and the end-to-end flow requires them to be in one file.

 

I am just curious - is there any reason for not wanting the updated transfers/contracts, as those are a fundamental part of the Data Update offering? I am just asking as I am genuinely interested in the use-cases people have for it.

because quite simply the transfer window is in progress and I don't necessarily have to start a game again every week because the database will be up to date but I prefer to wait for the transfer window to close to take it
