justin lerma

We do not have access to Justin Lerma's player data. I made a change to the player on your website, saying that he will be part of the Borussia Dortmund squad in the future. This always appears. We're sorry, but no page was found at this URL. If you think this is a mistake, please let us know!

I can't be certain, but I think this case is a bit of a nuanced one.

I have a feeling he is visible when you search him because he once existed as a newly-created player. For reasons of which I'm unsure, he doesn't exist anymore. However, the searchable database is a cached/older version (maybe) which is why it returns a result.

When I look at the club page (https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/team/80001277), there is no sign of him.

Perhaps this disappearance is caused by your attempted edits (not saying it is your fault). Perhaps it is unrelated.

In general, we do have an issue with some newly-created player records showing errors on the website (despite them existing in the data). It is being investigated in general and we'll get it solved as soon as we are able.

Thanks for the quick response, what I did in Justin Lerma's case was to keep his route updated on FM24, thanks again for the quick response

I don't know what's going on with the fm24 game anymore, I tried a new save today and got today's update, Justin Lerma appears as a central midfielder, he plays as a winger and without a name he only appears with the number 73, and without a name.

I'll wait for your answer, thank you

I did another experiment and now it appears as a central defender with the number 72 and no name. This is all crazy.

I can't find an active profile for him within our update, he is not listed at either Independiente or Dortmund. I will quickly check the pending New Player list in case he has not been approved. I am out for an hour or so, but can then re-add him and test via a save. Will be back in touch later tonight. 

Are you using the now-obsolete ‘dynamic’ files by any chance? These would be available to you if you use the enhanced Data Update.

There were issues with no-name players because of some structural changes a few weeks ago - the data update structure has been further altered since then also.

My recommendation would be to perform a clean installation of the Data Update: meaning delete all of the files you have and reinstall from the latest version. I have a feeling this will sort things out for you.

If you’re unsure on exactly how to do this, or you’re worried about interfering with other custom data you might also have installed, just reply and share some screenshots of your ‘editor data’ folder and I’ll provide step-by-step advice. 

Everything I have is recently withdrawn.

It's better to add Justin Lerma again, like they did with Paul Pogba.

See if something is wrong and say something.

I have added him again. There are different issues at play. The search bar is returning players from a previous version of the update, and will likely be sorted out in due course. 

There was no Justin Lerma profile active. There were two previous versions, one from November 2024, the other from last week. Both had been rejected at some point, but were likely active prior to that. 

He is now back in, and does not need added again. 

However, for future transfers, they need to be reverse engineered via the update, in that they need to be assigned to their ‘new’ club and loaned back to the club they currently play for until their actual transfer date. There is no mechanism for future transfers just now, so that work around ensures realistic availability until the actual transfer date (i.e. still able to play for current club, but owned by the new club until the IRL date of transfer, where they will leave their current club and be available for their new club). 

He is 100% back in the latest update, and I am in the process of waiting for the 20 minute cycle to let me run a test to verify. 

He is at Dortmund, and loaned back to Independiente del Valle. 

As for the various editor files, I recognise most but not all, but can't say I have enough knowledge to confirm if he could have been added to any other files that then create conflict. None of Nic33s files would cause the issue, not sure about the others, but @M.C is better placed than me when it comes to editor files and impact. 

I will upload a screenshot of his active profile at Dortmund (loaned to Independiente) tonight, which should verify that via our update, he is active and in game. 

OK, good, I know I had it in my save, but in his old club. Did you see if I had any files in the wrong data editor?

Thank you for the very quick response

It looks like you have a few repeating files i.e. older versions and newer versions, but I am not an expert on the various implications. M.C. will be better placed to advise. 

At a quick glance, the latest update file you have is from 23rd September though, meaning any updates since then won't apply to new games unless you download again and replace the older version.

I can confirm in the latest update, he is live. If you use the ‘Enhanced Update’ then downloading now should show him at Dortmund. If the daily update, then tomorrow's version will have him there. Either way, you need to delete older update files downloaded from our site, and overwrite them with the new ones. 

ok, thanks for the quick reply.

@decio luz - I have had a scan through your installed ‘editor data’ files.

It looks like you are only using some parts of our update (presumably, favouring using individual nation/league updates from other creators). Or perhaps you have renamed some of the files from our update to start with _RR. Which is fine. I think, in terms of compatibility, it broadly looks like your fileset should work.
 

I do think you may have some overlapping content, though.

Specifically, I think Daveincid's CA_PA ADJUSTMENTS NEW WONDERKIDS & OTHERS.fmf is likely to include newly-created players. I'd be amazed if that doesn't have some ‘content overlap’ with the SortItOutSI Data Update's content that you are using.

In our files, sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - No Date Changes Contracts.fmf is the file that contains newly-created players (as well as transfers/updated contracts). It's the ‘main file’ of the update, as it were. My recommendation to you would be to stop using the Daveincid file I mentioned above because it is bound to cause duplicates.

Also, in your file list you still have an old version of the ‘main file’: sortitoutsi.net FM24 No Date Changes Update - Changes.fmf. You should delete this file. It is the same file as the one I mention above, but just a version from a few weeks ago.

I would not be surprised if attempting to use those two instances of the ‘main file’ could be the cause of your ‘no name’ problem. It may not be but, in any case, no good can come from having those two files both enabled.

As with any scenarios like this, my recommendation is always to start with a completely clean installation of just our Data Update. I am not suggesting you should stop using the other files you want, but for troubleshooting, it's good practice. The practical way you could do this is:

1. Create a folder elsewhere on your machine and move everything you have in your ‘editor data’ folder into there.

2. Get the latest SortItOutSI Data Update and install it into your (now empty) ‘editor data’ folder.

3. Start a new game and check things are working.

4. Carefully move back the specific extra files you want from your backup folder to install them alongside the SortItOutSI Data Update. Of course, as part of this step, you would not move anything back that is part of the SortItOutSI Data Update, because you've already reinstalled the latest version under step #2.

Thank you, I'm going to do a general cleaning from scratch, I'm going to get this thing running smoothly.
