Yes, it's re-structured :/ Could you do that? It'd be the best.. <3 Anybody haven't done it yet and i think they won't do that..


I will see what I can do, unfortunately the league editting is something I need to personally learn, my 15 years of editing is based on the standard stuff (transfers, finances etc) but I will see what I can do.

It appears you've had a league re-structure, if I can do this it will sadly take a little longer, I have a file with all the winners and last years finish done but to reflect the structural stuff will take longer.

There is a wrong club in Germany 3. Division.
Lokomotive Leipzig did not promote and is still in Regional Division Northeast, but VfB Lübeck(Regional Division North) promoted and has to be in Division 3.


I'll fix this today.

I am working on a fix but I cannot guarantee one, the game is very temperamental when any sort of change to specific qualifiers happens, this year for example the Swiss and Czech coeffecicients swapped.

To offer a roadmap for everybody, work on finances etc is going on, when the English Domestic transfer window closes (16th Oct) I will release that one as there could yet be some more movement.

I can add a temporary file which will have promotions and relegations but the reorganisation of 2B will not be included.

Hey miguel, I will do what I can to make the update as accurate as possible but the global circumstances is making it a little more difficult than desired!

Temporary Europe file added which, through my play tests, does draw groups for the Europa League.

Please be aware this file is not 100% complete, most of the major European qualifiers are in (England, Spain, Ukraine, Turkey etc) but others are not. I am having to go through countries in blocks to try and figure out who is causing the problem, this will take some time.


Further tests reveal it is something going on with the "smaller" countries, I will keep adding as many countries as I can (at least from playable divisions) to make it as accurate as possible so at least your available playthroughs will be more accurate.

Temporary file for Portugal added.

Again, please be aware due to the chaos forcing structural changes in leagues they will either a) take time or b) not be 100% accurate.

How about Macclesfield? The club has been wound up, you want to remove it from the English extra file?


The English file, in general, is going to take extra work after the issues with Bury as well.

One thing I found in the FM data, is dat Ajax always has far too less money
Since the selling of Matthijs de Ligt to Juventus, Ajax made more than € 300 million profit. Not all of that is available to buy new players ofcourse, but it would be nice if all the hard work of Marc Overmars (director of finance) is reflected in the update.


I haven't touched finances yet, this is something I do when the transfer window closes (so i know what they have and have not spent and don't need to keep track of it) but teams like Ajax will be worked on.

I have a week off coming up so will look back into this to see if it is something that is easy to resolve.

I'll take a look into it, there shouldn't be any conflicts but as always FM throws up random bugs!

How does the file work ingame when you pick a Champions League or Europa League team? Some competitions are updated and some aren’t. For example the group stages


The European files registers the teams involved in this years competitions, regardless of whether they have a domestic file or not. For example you can play in France which has been updated and the CL and EL are accurate to this year even if the Polish or Czech leagues has not been updated yet. The qualified teams are all accurate (though some can't enter in the right bracket due to structural changes but its very minor).

Minor corrections to English file added. Stevenage and Macclesfield now swapped, Bury moved to the National South and Brackley to North.

If it is possible to replicate the 22/21 division without errors it will be added in a future update.

Polish Ekstraklasa please?


Given the structural changes involved, this will not be any time soon I am afraid.

Good work

Last time I checked Brackley is in the South, reinstate Bury, they were abused by the corrupt EFL regime


The next temporary workaround will likely just be moving Bury to the South and making them have a transfer embargo so they drop like a brick. Hopefully long term I can restructure the league.

Italy and Scotland added to the extra files.

For the question about why Brackley are in South etc, as explained the game requires 22 teams in the N/S level, I added Bury temporarily to accomplish this as their appeal was ongoing (which would have resulted in them entering and Brackley or Gloucester moving to the South). Much more work is required to get it to reflect the 21/22 discrepancy so for now if you are not playing in the N/S I suggest only activating down to the National League if this inaccuracy is an issue for you.

Thank you for explaining, and good luck with the PhD!


Thanks Tommy! Whilst I can't give release dates I am always happy to discuss what I will (or won't) be releasing in the near future, some leagues will be difficult due to covid-related restructures, but where possible I'll update to the best of my abilities.

Just to make people aware, I am working on a PhD fulltime, this means leagues will be released in bursts followed by some periods of no releases, rest assured more are coming. Remember this year isn't like normal, whilst I would have most league files done by now seasons also used to finish in May not July/August.

European changes (CL and EL) will be added when the finals are concluded (if either of them would influence next season, obviously if Sevilla v Inter and RB/PSG v Bayern are the finals as each finished in the CL places already it won't be an issue and the file will be released sooner).

Hi everyone! Turkish Super League will be 21 clubs at 20/21 season. Also the other Turkish leagues has disabled relegation rule for this season but champions, runner-ups and play off winners will be on upper league. Could anyone do that on In-game editor? I am not able to do that. Thanks in advance.


I am going to try, advanced editor isn't really my area of expertise but if I can I will try to reflect structural changes.
