#499369 [FM20] FMUpdates EPL Fixtures
GaZmagik
To celebrate the launch of the Football Manager 2020 beta, we at FMUpdates have released the original fixtures for the English Premier League. Download below!
This file contains the original fixtures prior to being rescheduled by Amazon, Sky and BT and prior to the mid-season player break*, therefore you may notice different games are rescheduled for broadcast picks in Football Manager 2020 than in real life.
INSTRUCTIONS
Save the xml file in 'Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2020\editor data' or equivalent folder.
*Football Manager 2020 is programmed to schedule the mid-season player break at the start of the season. As the fixtures specify a whole weekend to be played and is rescheduled in real life when the February broadcast picks are made, the fixtures do not split as intended. This has been reported to Sports Interactive.

FAQ
* Can you explain the English Non-league system?
The BBC Sport website has an excellent guide to how the English non-league system operates - LINK
This file includes levels 1 to 8 activated, which is down to step 4 in the English Non-League pyramid:
* Why is my team in the Northern Premier League, shouldn't they be in the Isthmian League?
One of the quirks of the English non league steps is how much change there is every season. This all depends on which teams are selected for promotion from Level 9 that may not easily fit into the regional geography of Levels 7 and 8. For Football Manager this is a problem as whilst rules have been set for each league and the vast majority of teams, unfortunately you can't programme common sense into the data editor. On the rare occasion you may find a team sorted into the wrong division, be rest assured that when the first opportunity arises to place them back into their correct division the game will sort them correctly.
* Why do I need to add All Key Staff?
I recommend you tick 'Add key staff'. That way all the staff you need, i.e. a physio and assistant manager will be generated for the clubs where there is not one set in the database.
* Are you planning on providing a data update for these teams so they have the correct players and staff etc?
This is not a player data update, no players have been added or their stats amended and I have no intention of adding this information.
* Why does the FA Cup go all the way down to the Extra Preliminary Round when only Level 8 is active?
The reason for this is simple - the first 3 rounds are drawn on the same day, so for the sake of added realism all rounds are included.
* When is the next release/update available?
This is something We cannot tell until it is ready. However the releases will be posted on FMUpdates first and shortly afterwards the SI Community. You may even be lucky and get the next version before it is announced by downloading the file.
* What is the rulebook?
The editor is limited in what match and competition rules can be input. As an example, clubs in Levels 7 and 8 are only permitted to give a player a contract, known as League Forms, for one playing season only.
We've reviewed the Isthmian, Southern and Northern League Handbooks and Rules and created a simple rule book for gamers to follow (if they wish) to help make playing these leagues more realistic. The Rulebook PDF is combined within the file download.
