Scottish Fantasy Pyramid System

Celtic B team are in the reserves and lowland leagues , so doesn’t work 

Celtic b and hearts b are only in the lowlands for one season only way it would work ,they are in the reserves only the season after .

Hi William, Is this a serious update with the real regulations? relegation?

Hi its real life first 2 seasons them turns into a fantasy pyramid after that with teams who are not in the pyramid system get a chance at promotion hope that helps .

Thank you for creating this database. However, there seems to be an error in the schedule. Scottish Premier League teams had 17 games in between December and January, while only 2 games in September and October. Also there is no winter break in the schedule 

Good work on the quick update. I've been using your FM23 database ported over to FM24.

will you be making your scottish english set up this year

Thanks I'll have a look when am home from work not seen anything like this as mostly been running fine including the winter brake.

I have it set up was not sure if anyone would want it up,I'll post it up later when am home put it on this for anyone wanting something different thanks.

budgets in lowland league are a bit off mate 

I have not touched any of the budgets that's what's on the database.

Great, hopefully you’ll be able to fix it without any issues 

Think i have fixed it. still lots of games in December but have a winter break and games in august and September now.

Great thank you so much! 

do you happen to have a completely standard scottish lower league db?

No sorry but am sure someone will have one out soon.

Mozza  will do that down to Level 10. As a Highlander, I've come to depend on William's ‘fantasy’!

not sure if a database bug or a save issue, however the Scottish Cup just doesn't begin in the second season. It gets to the date of the draw for the Preliminary Round then when you view the competitions tab it states that the draw is the next day, and every day you sim to it just tells you the draw is the next day. I've just went past the day the second round was supposed to have been played and there's still been no draws made or fixtures.

I'll continue on into the third season to see if it is just a bug for the season or not.

I have ran tests and started a new save and let it run through not had any problems with the scottish cup works fine in every test , it sounds weird as I have never encountered this problem not sure why its not working on your game .

Some teams missing from the very bottom of the pyramid I think.

Hey mate. Good file, it's gaining a lot of popularity over on the si games forum. I'm just curious if you've considered re-adding teams from Ireland and the National League to the SPFL Trust Trophy?

I had a same issue as well. No Scottish Cup in season 2024-2025. I'm now on season 2025-2026 now and Scottish Cup is working. Very odd, hopefully it will continue working for all seasons from now on. 

Thanks for the feedback ones am home from work I'll have a look at it see if I can fix anything or improve anything ,did try to do a real life one with this one but still have bother with the editor so had to leave it till its fixed.

Update 

Celtic B and Hearts B in lowland League till 2025 as voted through, both don't play in the reserve League now only the reserve cups, real life Reserve set up only 9 teams

Scottish Cup is working , Took out the non league cup so only Fantasy is the teams outside pyramid system having a chance too work there way up the ladder.

I've been using your database for the last couple of years, William. I'm currently working on adapting your structure to create a Celtic League, with Welsh, Norn Irish and Rep Irish sub-divisions. The cups have been working fine for me and the other guys on the SI Careers forum (I'm phnompenhandy, by the way), but there are too many cups, so dropping one is no bad thing!

Are you or know anyone creating Scottish League System for FM24  but with different Structure  SPL - 16 Teams, and Champ, L1, L2 - 12 Teams?  

Wasnt sure how to do it myself.

Am not doing any other files for now ,are they any scottish files on steam ,normal find a few on them if that helps.

Hi William, I noticed a really odd issue with the file in that the youth players who left Celtic in summer IRL and who are not at Celtic if I don't load your file as should be the case, are all back at Celtic. Dylan Corr, Tsonela Letsosa, Adam Brooks, Ewan Otoo. I don't have any other editor files loaded, and can't replicate it apart from this file. Not sure if there are any other clubs impacted in this way. Corr is at Raith, Letsosa at Lommel, Brooks at ICT, and Otoo at Dunfermline, all permanent.  But when I load a new game with just this file, all four are back at Celtic. Not sure if a ‘B’ team issue if they were altered in some way, as in game without this file, it appears they transfer from the ‘B’ team to their new clubs at game start, rather than from the first team.  If so, could be replicated with anyone that moved from Hearts ‘B’ irl in summer to another team. 

Johnny Kenny's loan to Shamrock Rovers is also not applied and again was likely from the B team to them. 

Can anyone else replicate the above in case it is something else at my end?

EDIT - Just loaded this file in the editor and all four are showing as at Celtic instead of their new teams, Kenny had no loan. Guessing it is something to do with the transfer in the default database being from Celtic B to their new teams, and this file then altering how the B team operates/exists. Don't know enough about anyone that left Hearts or whether they left from the B team to check their players. 

Hi William, 

Also finding that perhaps again linked to changes with the way the B team are setup, the squad screen when Celtic has loads of options missing.  It isn't skin related as far as I can tell and doesn't replicate if game loaded without this file. It only shows me Overview and International, but not tactics, players etc. as normal. Could it be linked to B team changes and how it draws information around both? Also noticed the U21 (B Team) has no players at game start. All players either go to the Main squad or U18. 

I have not noticed anything wrong with the b teams ,not sure if it's that I put the b teams  to excint and put the b teams to the u21 and transfer all the players over too there teams not sure if that explains anything for you.

Hi william, thanks, it explains the transfers I think. I am pretty sure for your file you would need to transfer those four players and reapply Johnny Kenny's loan if you made the B team extinct. I have no idea as to what impact making them extinct has had on the way the squad shows, will take another look in case it is me.
