@Cainnnnnnnn Not bad for a first try, but Mavididi already had a better quality cutout submitted a couple of weeks ago from the same source, that will be added to the megapack soon.

There are certainly some ways you can improve your cutouts in the future too - the one you submitted is quite blurry, and it's also less zoomed-in than the one submitted by Michael Nordin. These video tutorials might help if you're learning:

That's the 2023/24 home kit. This file is for the 2022/23 season.

@w1nkz Also, in this case at least I was able to immediately find a source image plenty big enough for a 250px cutout. I'm not sure if you used this same source image – if so then cut the images at 250px instead of 180px. Otherwise, please look for the best possible source images in the future 🙂

@w1nkz In cases like this, where the player already has a fairly recent, high quality 250px, it doesn't make sense to replace it with a 180px cutout. Unless it's a huge change in their appearance (e.g. going from very long hair to very short), or the existing cutout is very old or low quality, please avoid cutting 180px images for players with existing 250px cutouts. If you can't find any large enough source images for a 250px cut, it's better to leave the existing one in place 🙂

A problem with the Retro Kits thread is that “jump to first unread” (this link) doesn't work properly - it either takes you to the beginning post, or to the very latest post, rather than the first unread post. 

@mons This image is older than the current megapack cutout - can't find an exact date but it's from summer 2022 or earlier.

The player has also just transferred to a new team (Athlético Paranaense) anyway and has had a photo taken with them.

Not large enough to be an improvement, and it's from June 2022 anyway so you'd be better off requesting a more recent image since he's signed with Sevilla.

@superfrank81 A few things to point out:

1) Instead of taking a screenshot of the page, we prefer that the original image is uploaded directly. That way we have the image in its original quality and dimensions and avoiding any reduction in quality that happens if the image gets resized on the webpage you took a screenshot of. You can find the original image on the St. Gallen player profiles page by right-clicking on the image and using Inspect Element/DevTools (In this case it's under “<div class="bg-wrapper">").

2) However, because the original image has a background and green-tinted lighting, I think it would actually be better to request images like this one found on the First Team page on the St. Gallen website instead. They might be slightly smaller, but the faces in the images are still plenty big enough for 250px.

3) Finally, if you want to request multiple images in a short span of time (especially if all the images belong to one team), it's much better to request them as a pack. That way you can request much more images at once (you can request up to 50 images instead of 6), and it's easier for mons to download all of the finished cutouts to put into the megapack, as he can just download a single pack instead of having to download each one individually. 🙂

fyi @bhamichaelg 

@tv_capper Please try and make sure that you're requesting images of the correct people 👍

JRsFMKits made them here: https://www.jrsfmkits.com/ 

Thanks for pointing that out. If you spot any other mistakes in the megapack, be sure to tag the megapack curator @mons so he sees your comment 🙂

No, like @Debenja said the picture is current. “hs-data.com” and some sites who cater for other player/staff images just periodically overwrite the previous images instead of using new URLs for each update.

Bolid74 has already made it here, along with other English league kits: https://sortitoutsi.net/comments/get/736275 

Thanks for pointing this out 👍 In the future you don't have to crop/resize a photo like this when you're just requesting it to be cut out.

@mons I suspect the current cutout belongs to this Antonio de Cillis, currently active as a player in the Italian lower leagues. The birth date and playing position listed in the database match up with this profile.

fyi @mons 

@Julk44 You should really know better than to submit 9 year old images. Always make sure the images you cut out are recent sources.

The cutouts @Vinis Alves is uploading are ones from old megapack versions (2015 in this case), I can't understand why.

Alejandro Martinuccio (965324)

Looks like the Senegal U20 squad on FIFA's website have all been mislabelled. For example, Seydou Sano's picture is labelled as Mame Mor Faye. Pape Demba Diop's picture is labelled as Ibrahima Seck. Mamour Ndiaye, a goalkeeper, has his picture labelled as Ibrahima Cissoko, a midfielder. Mouhamed Guèye (player with #2)'s picture is labelled as goalkeeper Alioune Niang.

fyi @mons - I tried to move the cutout to the correct timeline but the move tool isn't working for me.

@superfrank81 This image is of the wrong player as well, it's an image of Djibril Diarra.

@12345cieza If you still want to cut the image, be sure to upload it onto Diarra's timeline instead of Ngom's 👍

@superfrank81 This image is of Gonçalo Figueiredo, not Albin Krasniqi (see this article). Make sure that when you're taking an image from google images that you check the website it comes from to ensure that it wasn't just another player linked on that page.

Please tag @mons if you notice an error like this

It's just a video from several years ago reporting Roger Ibanez signing for Atalanta in 2019. It just so happens that the user who posted the tweet is Batuhan Hakcıl.

Not the same person, the Nikolic who is team manager of the U17 team also (or was until this year) team manager of FK Voždovac. Given his Linkedin CV I think he wasn't a player, or at least at anything above amateur level which wouldn't be in the database.

If you want to get yourself and teammates added to the club, you can post a thread in the official SI Forum's Database/Research section, with the details (Date of Birth, full name, place of birth/nationality, position details etc) of the people you'd like added in the game. However, because the final update for FM23 has already been released, any additions to the official update won't be possible until the release of FM24 later this year.

In the meantime, you can request the players to be added to Sortitoutsi's unofficial Data Update here

The way the cutout forum works, is that users request source images of the players they want to have cutouts made of. So if you can find images of the player from the club's website, facebook/twitter pages or websites like the player's oefb profile, feel free to request them to be cut - just upload them as a “Source” image here 👍

@Муса Танакулов You can get a slightly larger image by replacing “320x320” in the image URL with “0x0”
Like so:

To become:

It has been brought up as a suggestion on the official SI forums before but was explained as a licensing problem (e.g. having to pay a mapping company to use their map as a base), but I agree that it would be really useful. Especially when, for example, I'm scheduling friendly matches for my U19 team, I don't want them travelling to the other end of the country every week!

Thanks, I've uploaded a correct source image. Do you have any idea who the current cutout could be of?
