Hi everyone, I found two duplicate players in FM24: Freddie Lawrie, one with ID 2002089134 for Aston Villa, and another ID 2002088428 for Manchester City. I think they're the same player, one is a forward and the other is a defender. Very strange. The one for Manchester City has all the data, the other has no data in the game. Freddie Lawrie 2002089134 and 2002088428 are the same. Go to the search and enter these IDs...

Yes, very likely to be a duplicate. Both of these come from the community-created new player pool.

 

There are currently a fair few duplicates and we have tools that we are in the process of using to tackle all of them. Unfortunately, right now, we're suffering some issues with page-load errors that are preventing us from working through these as quickly as hoped.

 

Staff team are on the case and all of these duplicates will get tackled ASAP.

Everything MC has said is correct, however, this particular duplicate was picked up a few days ago, and the Aston Villa one was deleted. It still shows in a search here due to a gap between what is held in the update and what is ‘searchable' , but he should not be in the most recent version of the data update, only older ones. 

 

I am loading a save soon this evening and can double check, but when you click on the Aston Villa version returned by a search on this site, you will see the profile has been deleted.

Thanks @Joe5p - right, that explains the nature of the ‘error’ page that you arrive at when you try to browse (through search) to the one that's now been deleted. It's effectively the same scenario we talked through (I think with @elsa micano, on another thread) about a different player a day or two ago.

@elsa micano , I can confirm if you load a game with the latest update the Aston Villa version of Freddie Lawrie is not there, even though he still appears on the site if searched. @M.C , yes, this is part of the wider issue with links just now. Once the duplicate checker is fixed it should be fairly easy to sort it all out.
