Hey!
SO this is my first foray into Football Manager Editing.
I've always wanted a long-term save file with Kernow as a nation and buffed performances for Celtic Nations.
A proud Cymro myself, I have also always wanted a stronger Welsh League System
I have uploaded the files here that revamp the entire British and Irish System, adding Kernow as a nation.
I am a total novice so there are some errors around Discipline and fixture arrangement, but they don't make the game any less playable / fun.
I would welcome feedback on fixes - this truly is my first time doing this after years as a quiet observer!
Included is as follows:
NOTABLE CHANGES:
- Transfer windows changed to be prior to leagues
ENGLAND
- Revamped English League System, fully playable down to Division 10
- Championship reduced to 20 teams
- Leagues 1-2 rebranded into Pro Leagues and Pro League 3 added
- Challenge League (With insane playoff system) added to Step 5 with Jersey Bulls, FC Isle of Man and Guernsey becoming franchise teams
- New Lower League system and structure - more regional leagues (relegation/FA Cup participation disabled Tier 10)
- 100 Point deduction for Manchester City from 2028 (if you load all leagues, City will gradually be relegated down the pyramid)
- 50 Point deduction for Chelsea from 2030
- CONS: No established Reserve structure - too much work for me to be bothered
- CONS: Finances are very high for most clubs due to fictional implications of PremFliX
- Revamped FA Cup with boosted finances (distributed realistically across the football league if PremFlix became a thing!)
- Old Firm and Exiles play a part in the tournament
- All teams enter at Round 1 with higher stadium team playing at home - this throws up some awesome fixtures!
- Some seeding later on in the tournament to make games more difficult
- Neutral venues return at Quarter Final
- Revamped English Cup System
- new Invicta Cup competed between bottom 12 of Premier League and 20 Championship Teams - FATE ACTIONS are set to qualify the winner to the Conference League but this is temperamental and does not always work
- Revamped League Cup system, replacing the EFL Cup
- FA Vase pulls champion of Gibraltar into tournament (there is a stubborn season delay error with this that I've struggled to fix)
WALES
- Fully revamped Welsh League System, fully playable to Step 5
- Exiles returned home, Spring League contested between Exiles, TNS and franchise clubs: Dragons + Ospreys
- Professional league system between Tiers 1-3 with teams generally linked to counties of Wales
- More realistic Welsh Cup
- Champions League style Welsh Premier Cup for Tier 2+3 teams
- Regional Tier 4 and Tier 5 with local cups and Ardal Cup for teams at this step
- Welsh Cup Winners' Cup which takes winners of 8 regional cups and pits them together in early season tournament.
- CON: Finances are slightly unrealistic at the top, but I found that teams were going into administration too easily
- CON: Lots of games in lower tiers
- Welsh Teams at Tier 1 participate in Celtic Super and Celtic Premier League (outlined below)
SCOTLAND
- Revamped Scottish League System and Scottish League Cup (playable to Step 4)
- Scottish Teams at Tier 1 participate in Celtic Super and Premier Leagues early season (outlined below)
IRELAND
- Unified Irish League System based around GAA.
- Three new tiers where Irish Counties play one another - these are all professional teams and players and staff have been assigned from previous league
- No relegation from Tier 3 to separate the Professional and Amateur Game
- Playable to Tier 5 with original NIFL Premiership and LOI Premier now being regional leagues
- Northern Ireland have been replaced by Cornwall
- Northern Irish players and staff have mostly been assigned Irish nationalities
- Irish Cup participated between 32 professional counties
- Celtic Super/Premier Leagues (outlined below) are tethered to this nation - there is an minor issue around this ever being in trophy cabinets.
CELTIC SUPER LEAGUES
- Celtic Super League and Celtic Premier League (takes place over the Autumn and Winter months before regional Premier Leagues)
- SUPER LEAGUE: Contested between Top 3 of Scottish, Irish, Welsh systems + Truro CitY
- PREMIER LEAGUE: Contested between the best of the rest and FC ISLE OF MAN
- CON: If FC Isle of Man qualify for Europe, there is MASSIVE fixture congestion on verge of game breaking standard.
KERNOW
- New nation created in shell of Northern Ireland
- Truro City and other English Peninsula teams moved to Kernow Premier League
- Truro City participate in Celtic Super League
- Kernow Challenge Cup takes place for other teams during early season (winner qualifies for Europe)
Hopefully you enjoy it!
If you find a glitch or an error I haven't found or you think I haven't identified, give me a shout!

Looks fun. A shame you haven't gone deeper into Scottish non-league, but I'll give it a go.
Right, joined Man City; gone on holiday until June 2028. Let's see what's in store with this 100 point penalty!
