Supports Interactive "LIVE" Data Update

We all appreciate the hard work that goes into FM Data Updates. I know from speaking to some people on here and other sites the amount of hours that are put in almost every day to make sure nothing is missed. I feel though, that it's time we set these people free and allowed them to enjoy the game more by proposing that we collectively create a data update using hundreds, perhaps thousands of people like ourselves to maintain it.

I've been working on a web-based tool that allows ANYONE to help create a data update. You don't need any editor knowledge, you don't need webspace to host your changes, or email it to me etc. etc. It's all done as a form on a website. All you need to do is turn on ID's in your game.

It's going to offer 5 different options for you to update:

Transfer - This is player and/or staff. You can set them as a free agent, transfer to another club, or move a player on loan.
Contracts - Update contracts for staff/players
Positions - Alter player position attributes (1-20) for all positions (GK, AML, ST, WB etc.)
Injuries - Add injuries to players
Bans - Add bans to players
Staff Roles - Change staff roles (make a person Manager, Chairman, U23 GK Coach etc.)

Once the change has been submitted, it gets verified and is then INSTANTLY available in the data update. The update doesn't get released once a month, fortnightly or whatever. It's constantly updated and the updated file is what you end up downloading - even if a change was approved 5 seconds ago, it'll appear in your download.

Here's the process:

1. Select the type of update you want to perform


2. Fill out the form (in this instance, place a player on loan)


3. See your changes in our LIVE changelist


It's so simple this should have been done a LONG time ago. Here's where you guys come in though. The only way this can succeed is if YOU take part in updating it. If your team signs a player, or releases a player, sacks a manager etc. then you can submit this to the site, and as soon as it is approved you can download the data update to see those changes in your new game immediately.

The more people we get on board, the more up-to-date this will end up.

A small update to the page:

Changelist Toggle
There are two buttons to toggle between changes listed by TYPE (transfer, injury, ban, contract) and changes listed by CLUB.

Improved Data Entry
The data update now supports national team changes via an additional drop-down selection on some forms.
The update submission form now supports auto-fill entries (HTML5 supported browsers only). Once a name or a club is filled in, it will search for the corresponding ID number and populate the ID fields if it exists, saving you time.
