Notes : -
- Australian clubs will not participate in AFC competitions as I’ve decided to move Australia back to Oceania
- The qualification places are sorted based on the divisions’ reputation which I’ve edited to match the latest AFC Club Competition Ranking. The reputation changes every year by default so theoretically, leagues ranking are dynamic which means the qualification places of a nation could be changed each year.
- However, after years of test simulation in game, I’ve noticed that the leagues’ and cups’ reputation in the continent remains unchanged whereas in Europe where I’ve not edited the leagues’ reputation, the divisons’ and cups’ reputation change each year.
- This is a known issue that has been reported a few times before in the previous FMs and I’ve considered it as a bug.
