I have downloaded the XMLs which wont load, I have also converted them to fmf as above and its saying for all but England there are too many teams in the league, however when I check in the editor there is the correct amount. Any help would be much appreciated?

I put the table as it was in real life into an excel spreadsheet and just used the results and updated that, ignoring what FM was saying. I’ve not played around with editing fixtures/results I’m afraid so I don’t know how easy/difficult it is.


Can you share how you did this? Assuming you started the season where football stopped?

Ok, so to start the save from when football stopped you need to go to this thread and install what's needed and follow the instructions: https://sortitoutsi.net/downloads/view/50904/amls-real-fixtures-and-results-custom-start-date?page=2#comment_520700

Unfortunately this only covers certain leagues and the Cup results can't be adjusted so the fixtures won't be exact. I've had to use excel spreadsheets with the tables and the fixtures exactly as they should have been to ensure it's as accurate as possible.

I've attached the save file which will take you to May 25th as well. You will need the databases from the link above.


So did you have to manually add in the championship fixtures? As when I loaded up that save (with the correct files from that other thread) Leeds were in the playoffs etc

I've simmed the remainder of the season as if Coronavirus never happened here: https://sortitoutsi.net/careers/view/53227/finishing-the-201920-season

I can upload the save if you like? It's currently on 25 May.


treva, I have commented on your post. But yes would love that if you could. Or do you have a save from where you started from? (when the season stopped due to CV)

Highlights

The Championship title is going down to the wire. Just like over the last two months, the lead changed again as West Brom gained the upper hand and now know that victory against Queens Park Rangers at home on the final day will clinch the title. Leeds take on Charlton on the final day but the turning point could prove to be the 1-1 draw against bottom of the table Barnsley that allowed West Brom to take the lead in the title race.

The playoff places are all but secured with Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Brentford guaranteed a spot. Preston look set for 6th baring any disasters on the final day, although Bristol City and Swansea will be applying the pressure with the former winning all their games in April and needing a four goal victory against Preston on the final day to give themselves a chance.

Down the bottom of the table Barnsley's loss to Nottingham Forest confirmed relegation for the Yorkshire club. However, Luton, Birmingham, Hull, Stoke and Huddersfield could all still join them in dropping down to League One. Birmingham lost every game in April and will need to turn things around against Derby on the final day. None of those in danger of going down play each other on the final day so there will be a lot of score watching throughout the 90 minutes.

Yeah I can do, it's not in a releasable state right now because I was doing lots of trial and error and I haven't touched it over a month so don't know when i'll get a chance to look at it again


Any chance you have had a look at this?

Or how can I start a game from today with the correct league positions etc?

Hi, any reason why the custom start date doesnt work?
I can select the date, download and use the file when creating a game but the date I get is 01/01/2018 which loads a blank season on that date?
Will it be available for FM19?
