An extra file for England has been added. Please note this is a temporary file that allows for the appropriate restructure in the Football League to fill the gap left by Bury this season and will in all likelihood be altered in the future given the unpredictability in the lower reaches of the English game. Bury have been added to the National League North (meaning 22 teams in north/south) and Brackley moved to the National League South.

This weekend it Will be clear which teams come up from the Serie B! Return game is the 11th.

Great work Guys! Greetings from the Netherlands


I will be getting a file ready for Italy to easily move the promoted teams up to Serie A when the matches are played so it will be good to go.

@TheMinsterman Are you going to release a file for England (promotions-relegations) soon? I really want to start a save with Crewe Alexandra! Thanks in advance!


Hey DimiZag, hopefully sooner rather than later, the big issue is the structural changes I need to implement due to the whole Bury fiasco and potential covid issues for non-leasure, I will endeavour to have at least a temporary file soon!

Hi guys, don't know if you're aware but when doing the English promotions/relegations, when setting the EFL League One back to 24 teams (it was 23 this season because of Bury's unfortunate demise), it disables the Carabao Cup for the first season because it's coded to have 91 teams.

Not sure if there's a way around this in the Advanced Rules but it's just a heads up!


England will be a headache from my early testing, thank you for the heads up on another issue to look out for!

Will you be amending previous contract start dates, so players that moved last summer will now be interested in moving clubs in FM?


If I remember correctly, a file for this backdating contracts will be generated and provided, but not by myself.

I can't guarantee when, but probably this week. I update as many of the leagues as possible, at the very least the playable leagues.

Promotions and Relegations will be added through extra files, please bear with me as it's been a chaotic season so my usual update schedule has been disrupted. They'll be added.

As the season is (to some degree) gradually coming to a close in most countries to varying degrees, I will now be adding extra files to replicate next season with the best of our available knowledge. These files will be named Germal.xml for example and initially will include promotions and relegations, previous champions etc.

Further files for financial changes and so on will also come in time, bare with me it's a complicated year for obvious reasons!

Please be aware I will not be altering the start date of leagues (they'll start when they normally would as will transfer windows), where possible I will endeavour to update the league structure but there are no guarantees.

If you have any questions please post them here.

When installing a new version of the update ALWAYS delete all previous files to prevent conflicts arising.

Hi there. I'm sorry if I'm writing the wrong thread.

Only the teams that have promote to the Super League are also set to update. Turkish First Division and Second Division needs to update (Playable Leagues) There is a problem. The problem is newly promoted teams from First Division have foreign players but they can't play these new players because of the rule on foreign players. (Keçiörengücü, Menemenspor and Fatih Karagümrük)
Sortitoutsi Live Update includes updated transfers for this teams. These teams have financial problems because they can't play the players. This affects the realism of the game.



I shall look into this.

Coventry should play all their home games at Birmingham, if you look at the fixtures tab it should have changed for this season.

Have you deleted all other files in your folder? Try and a complete clean install, if you have any other extra files they could be conflicting with the database.

Guys, I have only pointed out to the author of the file that with the latest updates of the Sortitoutsi Data Update his file is not 100% functional. Stop.
I realized that it is NOT about your file (I've been saying this for at least 8 hours), I just wanted to make it clear that if some user decides to download the file now, it would NOT work with the Sortitoutsi Data Update. That's all.
It seems to me that it is becoming a "state affair". I wanted to point out to those who might want to start a new game.
Is it clear for everyone now?
Sorry for the outburst ... but I see that you have not understood the reason for my messages

p.s. 9 years that I use your files, I will have a little understood how they work, right?


No problem at all. just automatic to reply to clarify as we constantly get questions as to why it won’t work!

The sortitoutsi.net update isn't guaranteed to work alongside any other extra files which are no part of the download, you must also delete all old files before installing any new ones.

We cannot ever guarantee that files not made by the staff working on the update will not clash, the update is not designed to work with other files as it's not possible to know what will or will not clash.

If you try to start a new game using the last Sortitoutsi Data Update + Tweaks file (obviously eliminating "Player and Staff" ) , you'll see that the teams' budgets have changed. It is not a modification made to the Tweaks file, I checked (Chelsea now has a 100ml budget !!).
In my opinion, but I can also be wrong, it is that there is another file that does not allow the uploading of its data.


The sortitoutsi.net update isn't guaranteed to work with any files not included in the download itself, you use any other extra files at your own risk. Every file that forms part of the extra files is designed specifically to work with the update and simply cannot take into account clashes it may have with other files that aren't part of it, that level of coordination is impossible.

Club finances are part of the Club Changes file, English clubs have their finances updated because their windows closed earlier, other countries will follow when the window finally shuts, it's just easier to modify when clubs can't buy or sell any more.

Hello,

I noticed that promoted & relegated clubs in the Belgium Pro League aren't updated yet. Lokeren is still in 1st division while Mechelen is still in 2nd (needs to be the other way round).


Also fixed in latest upload.

A new file called "European Continental Changes" has been added to the update, this fixes the recurrent issues reported. Please be aware that teams starts in the brackets from LAST SEASON (i.e. RB Salzburg do not start in the group stage, they start in qualifying brackets).

I believe the reason for the errors is trying to swap teams around in terms of where they enter based on the changes in coefficients.

Three teams disappears in the CL Champions playoff and are replaced by Slavia Praha, Dinamo and Young Boys


Yeah, I am not sure why it is doing this, I am looking into it and working on a fix, it could just be the game itself doesn't like something in where teams are entering this year.

Hi,

Can confirm, on the newest update from today that Brighton are still unmanaged, and the Albanian club issue in the CL persists.(Using 19.3.5)

https://sortitoutsi.net/uploads/mirrored_images/OvTEEU3cOk6vwxYvjQvbJwLX1uc0jSsEOn14o2yw.jpg - CL Draw with one team receiving a bye - this happens from Round 2

The Albanain club are not even present in the seedings prior to the draw being made, so no idea how they are getting in there - has potentially someone been removed from the list of CL qualificants?

Hope this helps.


Every one is set to be in the CL at the correct stage, they even appear (in my tests) up until the final play off, when they suddenly don't any more, it's very odd.

Delete ALL previous files before installing a new version of the update. Also note that if you're using any league extension packs which are NOT included in the download there is no guarantee that they will not conflict.

I will take a look, its happened before in older versions with Albanian sides for some strange reason.


For some reason the Champions League champions play-off only has three fixtures (two of the teams from the previous round are not being drawn together... why I do not know as they play and qualify but are then not drawn), this means that the group draw is a team down, the game for whatever reason (I assume because Albania is first alphabetically?) picks a random team (again I guess Albpetrol is the first alphabetically in Albania).

Current version: 19.3.5
1st season
European Champions Cup


An Albanian semi-professional club took part in the draw (straight to group stage) and eventually played the six games of the group.
Take a look from the results:
