Data Update Home Thread

Unfortunately, there's no support/method to submit position changes for any players who are in the official SI database through the site.

The only method to maintain positional changes would be to supplement the Data Update with a manually-maintained extra file - and I'm sure you can appreciate that doing this at a global scale would be a really large undertaking, which is why we can't really go down that road.

He just needs his CA and PA improved

@Justsomeguy unfortunately it's not currently possible to add new positions for existing players via our online system, but we are working on a new version to make this possible.

Also please try and make things easier for other people by linking to the player on this site rather than posting random images and making people type out the name and find the player for themselves.

I wanted to report a possible error.
I submitted some player updates from the Brazilian subdivisions, and when I select the file, it hasn’t updated. The latest update was probably released around the 5th, from what I saw yesterday.

One example is the player Yamada, who was supposed to be at EC Taubaté in the Data Update, but he isn’t.

@ah!lan this was fixed a few hours ago if you redownload

I've already applied, and it seems to have been approved. When will the player be moved up to the professional team?

We publish a new update every day for free members and every 20 minutes for paid members.

I've just implemented a quick fix for the chairperson issue. However I am waiting on SI to properly fix it right now the game has bugs with these types of people.

Please let me know if the issue continues after tomorrow.

Hi, Just to confirm - I have only tested this on my club (Lincoln City) but there is still an issue where the current chairman/owner Clive Nates is the Director of Football - and the DOF Jez George is just a member of the board (this is in FM24) 

Please put the "new players/staff" in a separate file, as there several duplicates now in the game.

So far I've found Alladoh, Romeo Leandersson, Robinho Jr, 

The problem has not been fixed... it is still there. FM2024

👋 Is a solution to this problem expected? FM2024

Hi all,

Is there a way I can download the Data Update without created players? I'm using my own Ajax Talents file and therefore I get some duplicated players. Would it be an idea to include these into a separate .fmf file?

@wfm18  Originally the problem was FMF's had to be created manually and this was alot of work, now that we can create FMF's automatically we can split them into a new file I just haven't gotten round to it yet.

Is there a reason not to add the players from your talents file to the sites DB?

Yes, the reasoning behind it is that it's way more extensive with favorite clubs, people etc. adopted. I also know other users might want to use the Wonderkids files from others for example, so it makes a lot of sense to separate.

It would be good if the desires for extra attributes where documented so that eventually the online system could be updated to accomodate them.

I wonder if the FM26 update process will be complete by the time they cancel FM27…

Sorry, I really don't want to be annoying. But the player Clemens Lippmann is still not in the professional squad at TSV 1860 Munich. Why not ? It's been 10 days since my application for the new strength was approved.

Every save is different, he is 19 years old so some saves he is good enough and some he isn't, there's alot that can't be controlled about that.

Why are changes taking hours and sometimes days being left on submitted?

@Bryan Cheetham it's just when a moderator can get to it, some moderators only focus on specific nations and leagues they know well 

Ahh okay fair enough. Thanks for the quick reply 🙂

A lot of the changes are not working for FM24. I've downloaded the update and I've found 3 and only just started checking. Examples being Alba & Busquets showing as still playing for Inter Miami and not retired. Lutz Pfannenstiel not showing at Aberdeen. Rodrigo Acosta to Talleres from Lanus. When was it last checked that its working correctly?

Its the no date changes database file thats not updating, although it says Last updated 20 Dec 2025 12:49:12

@Staff @Footygamer Any advise for the no date changes file and how to keep it updated the same as the standard FM24 changes?

Thanks

Could you please add the newly created players in a separate file in the transfer update?To FM 26

and transfers in a separate section, as was the case with FM 24

@Club Almagro Can you help with my query at all please? Thanks

@Bryan Cheetham please don't tag specific moderators like that demanding attention, people will respond when they can.

As far as i'm aware there's not a use case for the no date version right now, which is why it's not visible on the main data update page. If you're finding it being promoted somewhere else on the site please let me know so I can remove it or add a warning.

Otherwise can you please explain your use case or why a no date version is required?
