Each FM there seems to be a Global/World league database but this year i haven't been able to find one. so I thought, why not make my own!
1024 Teams, 10 Tiers, 51 leagues, 1 Global Cup
This is my very first FM database I've made, please comment any constructive feedback or criticisms you may have. I hope you check it out, see what you think and hopefully have some fun with it!
*Luxembourg is the nation used for this database. if you add other nations as playable or playable/view only etc then you may experience game issues
For the benefit of those who don't know where to put the file download, read below

Changes
*Premier League now has 24 teams, others now have 20 teams
*Leagues have been reorganized to make each one more balanced
*VAR and Goal Line Technology are now active in ALL leagues and cup comps
*taken away squad registration
*Only rule for match day, 1 HGC between 0-21 in match day squad
*Adjusted competition reputation
*Adjusted TV/Prize money
1 bug that I do know about is that a few players are on cheaper wages for some reason “e.g. Fred at Man United” checked the editor and editor says 130k p/w but in game he is on like 15k p/w. I will look into this but no promise of a solution.
Adding a 2nd cup competition looks like it won't be possible without getting major fixture congestion. I reckon for the Next FM if I decide to do this again, this should be a more viable option.

Great job!.
The only negative thing is that the value of the players is too low, you can buy Vinícius Júnior or Mbappé for 10 million or less.Nevermind, I forgot to disable Daveincid's pack.

Thank Kaztek, much appriciate the feedback! I'm doing a online save with a few friends atm and you still have a valid point. I feel that some players values have changed espeicially in the lower tiers “possibly because of the competition reputations”
After going on holiday for a few seasons and checking the bank balance of a handful of bigger and smaller clubs, I adjusted the prize money a little to make the majority of clubs more sustainable to counteract the value hike.

The competition schedule is a bit small. If you choose a weaker team to be eliminated early in the cup, I hope you can add one or two more events.
DavidCarter
Hey Boss, I Agree that only having 1 cup competition kinda sucks a little bit. If I can reschedule the season a little, I may be able to squeeze a division cup “UCL/Europa league style” across each division so every team has something that they can compete to win something!
First half of the season is quite intense with the world cup getting in the way, so on the alternative weeks of the Super cup in the 2nd half of the season will be the most likely to fit something in.

As i'm playing the save with a few friends, I'm learning more about it and I've already seen that a rule I put in has affected most clubs in a way i didn't anticipate.
I put a rule in from Championship to Div 8 that a team can have 3 loan players in the 99 man squad and no loan players in the Premier league. for the next upload i will do, this will be removed and I will replace this with "1 HGC player between ages of 0-21 for a match day squad" across all divisions.
I will also re-evaluate the TV/Prize money situation as I'm aware that some clubs will be fine as it is but particually premier league clubs will lose huge sums of money playing in the 2nd-4th tiers.

"I'm very happy to see your reply. If we can add a cup match to give lower level teams hope of winning the championship, then this will be a great database.". Thank you for your hard work.
DavidCarter
I've started working on a cup for Prem/Championship A/B “64 teams” 8 group of 8 teams, play each other once. top 2 in each group go to last 16 “2 legged ties" all the way to the final at Wembley.
If it works without any fixture congestions, i will then pass this competition system down to each tier from Div 1 to Div 8 will compete in their own cup competitions.
Also, I've now added VAR and Goal Line Tech to every division and adjusted the premier league TV money to 75 million per club.
It may take me a few weeks to complete this but I can't wait to finish it!

crash error while setup game.(sorry for translate)
bossmac001
I am looking forward to your next update. If you can add another cup game, loan players, and solve the problem of player value, then this will be the best league database patch in my opinion. "It would be even more perfect if the default language of Luxembourg could be changed to English, and now all players are required to learn Luxembourg.". (Machine Translation)
DavidCarter
On the editor now, Currently reworking the structure.
Prem to have 24 teams, everyone else to have 20 teams “should be easier to install a 2nd cup competiton”
Adjusting the reputation of the leagues as well, “no idea how much of a affect it will have on player values” was previously 200,190,180,170 etc etc now starting at 190,170,150,140,130 etc etc.
No new competiton added as of yet, also haven't found a way to change the default language, not for the want of trying but if i say change it to english, it may give a advantage to the english nations so as it stands, it's technically fair for everyone “admititedly annoying”

crashes everytime during set up
DavidCarter
For those suffering with setting up the game, I can only predict what/why it's crashing as for me, it's never crashed during set up or playing the game.
When i set up the game, no other nations are loaded up, I could be wrong of course but i suspect for some of you, this may be why it's crashing “screenshots attached”
Expect a update somepoint today/tomorrow!
