This Data base has all available leagues in the editor for Australia are playable.

 

A-league starts of as 12 team comp (I originally made this database for FM24, so the league expands by 2 teams every season until it hits 20 teams)

 

I've made this database to mirror a real-life fantasy of the A-league to expand to 20 teams and then to allow promotion and relegation to a fully connected Australian system.

 

the Australia cup takes it teams from the State cups as before.

Hi mate

 

Try now. I've reuploaded the DB so that may fix it.

 

I've re verified it all as well and just tested it on my end and its allowed me to go through and select a team etc

Hi Mate.

 

I've just updated the file.

 

A league starts at 12 teams and expands every season until 2029 and promotion relegation becomes active from 2031.

Thank you. Looking at doing my save with Hoppers Crossing, never done Australia before so should be a fun one.

Good work on this one, just one question, does it ever get to the point once 20 sides in the a-league you have relegation from the a-league itself?

Hi Mate

 

Yes it does the Season Starting 2032 will be the 1st season with PRO/REL (I did it like so to give the new clubs a chance to sign players and become competitive a little before they face off against relegation etc.)

 

I've attached screenshots just to show the rules are active 🙂

Cheers mate, I had gone on manager holiday to 2031 to just see how everything was tracking. I did a Sunbury united save in FM24 which had promotion/relegation and got them to an Aussie super power, and 3 asian champs leagues, but sides going all over the shop lower down the pyramid (Brisbane Roar, Gold Coast, Adelaide etc ending up in Vic Premier league after being relegated for example), looks like your game avoids those pitfalls! So great work. Have you removed salary caps and those types of things?

Yeah, it took a while to realise why that would always happen.

 

Perth teams winding up in Melbourne etc would drive me mental. I Ended up realising that I had to Sort every Aus Team into their specific Regions E.G Victorian clubs being region specific to the Victorian Leagues and so on, (hence why the data base has so many Changes.) I've add a photoshoot of the regional section that needs to be completed for all 700-800 clubs lol

 

I did remove the salary caps because I can Never build a squad within them! lol and with the extra TV money I've given clubs it opens up a to a few bigger signings (I have kept the foreigner limit but increased it to 5+1 Asian.)

 

Funny thing is I make this Data Base in FM24 and then I convert it over to FM26 for the upload ( i play FM24 still just can't get into fm26 really) only because I find there's still bugs in the FM26 editor and I can just work around the conversion (I just need to change how many teams are in each comp as they change between games for some divisions)

 

My First version i posted is much the same, but the A-League starts off with 17 teams and PRO/REL whereas this one I tried to give some realism with the Expansion teams and adding PRO/REL Later on.

 

Anyway, enjoy it 🙂

If you have 2 data bases that have customised australian stuff you'll have to uncheck one.

 

Or if you have a new zealand one that may need unchecked.

thats not worked. i only have 1 file changing australian stuff (as far as i know). for context its the falsobohemio files that i have that i assume are causing the issue

It could be. I know my file works with the sortitout updates but I've never tried it with any others.

 

The only fix I can think of is only selecting my data base and no others.
