I just want to acknowledge that I’m aware the continental qualifications will be tricky to get 100% right; and I know the current file doesn’t achieve it, based on comments.

 

I‘m away with work until tomorrow so haven’t been able to engage with the discussion as quickly as I normally would. In my experience, to get all qualifications in place it is typically requires to have all of the individual nation files updated, as well, as a minimum. Certain qualifications seem to be prioritised based on Registered Teams; others on domestic competition winners (history entries).

 

I will review the full ruleset when I’m back and that will give me an understanding of exactly what the dependency chain is. It may transpire we first need all of the individual nations updated before the continental qualifications will reliably work. The file I quickly put together before my trip was a ‘free hit’ intended to get us some of the way quickly.

 

I did notice last year there was 82 UCL teams this year 81, maybe that discrepancy is messing up the algorithms somewhere? 

 

Appreciate all your work on this man.

@Rich Devall

@ lpop

The Both of you need to read what M.C as posted it does help but here it is 

read it all and you will find your answer 

 

I have now uploaded the additional file that manages continental cup qualifications for Europe, for FM26. This should be available immediately for those on the Enhanced Data Update and should appear from tomorrow morning for those on the free tier. This will appear as a new file in the downloaded FM26 Data Update with the name sortitoutsi.net FM26 Data Update - Europe.fmf.

 

FM24 equivalent will follow in the near future - however, I also need to amend the Champions League ruleset to correct the first-season format before releasing that one.

 

Your pointless condescending reply does not help in fact, I am on FM26, so the European stuff he has done, but there is clearly a bug that is messing it up. Personally I think letting him know there is a little bug, which is no big deal they happen, is the way, you apparently think, well actually I don't know what you think, because like I said, your reply makes no sense.

I started a new game with the new database and noticed that FC Barcelona and Manchester City were in the Europa League instead of the Champions League. I'm mentioning this in case you hadn't noticed, so you can fix it.

 

Thank you very much for your work.

 

Yeah I'm getting the same as this, no Bournemouth in the Europa League either even though everything looks fine when you load the editor file in the Pre-Game Editor.

I hate to be ‘that guy’ complaining about a free update. But the last couple have been full of errors, multiple players added who were already in the game (Satpaev, Byfield, Subuloye to name a few), now this latest one has 100+ Japanese youngsters who are English for some reason. Then there's the random dude who clearly made himself a -85 at Llandudno, which I kind of respect lol.

There's something wrong with the file they're using.

 

Yeah it looks like it. I've managed to get City back in it, by deleting a duplicate Dortmund they had in there, But still no Arsenal or Athletic and there could be more in other countries I haven't checked.

Anybody know how to fix my Champions League problem? When I go into the editor and load ‘Data Update - Europe’ file it all looks good, 6 English teams in the Champions League, but when I start a new game Man City and Arsenal are not in it, Athletic Club not in it in Spain either.
