Thanks, as MC has said, it is the sortitoutsi.net FM24 Data Update - Contracts.fmf file. As I mentioned, I hadn't had a chance last night to check fully, but was trying to assist you. 

I think most users recognise that non-official community led updates won't be perfect, but you can go in via that file and customise, as many do. 

The scale of allowing individual attribute by attribute updates is difficult across the number of players updated and added via our file. As our update is the biggest in terms of depth of coverage across nations and levels, and not all users just want the wonderkid style update (many use ours for its scale and depth at all levels across many leagues), there will be limitations, but the work you desire to do is absolutely possible. 

For clarity, you don't need to buy anything else to edit the file. 

I am pretty sure it is the Contracts file, but haven't had a chance to double check

Sorted, thanks

Thanks, but the player link you sent and the player to have passed away via the transfermarkt link appear to be two different people. I have removed the player to have died. 

If you mean the file you have uploaded, that is the league file, not the transfer file. That file alters promotions and relegations in Greece. For player transfers, you need to enable the file sortitousi.net FM24 Data Update - Contracts . In the past few days, the nomenclature used for the files has changed, but the contracts one contains all transfers. 

As you can see on the PAOK page, there are lots of alterations in terms of added youth and all transfers.

In terms of the data update, all looks well, but I would need to replicate what you have done and also load the editor files to have a look. Time wise, I will try over this weekend. Thanks

Yes, you can add him as a new player from within the club page for his team. 

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/team/301306 

If you click ‘Add New Youth Player’ you can use this to add players that SI removed. Fill in the relevant details, and then use the transfermarkt link as proof. Once submitted, it will be moderated and then added to the update. Thanks. 

It was SI games that removed him. He was in FM24, but was removed by SI in their January update. If you know which club he is at and can source his details, you can add him in, but first check to see if another user has already done so. If he is not at a club, then when he does join one you could add him in then. 

Hi mate, I don't think anyone is making Scottish kits, unless I missed something in another thread. It would be brilliant if you could do it. 

It isn't uncommon for doubles, as users keep adding players, particularly in youth teams that exist independently of the main team where they already exist as new players. We are picking those up retrospectively when they slip through moderation, and I have around 8 to work through if I get time tonight. 

It would be easiest if you list them in a post rather than screenshot, just for time e.g.

Player 1 - Barcelona and Barcelona Atleti 

Staff can then work through them and resolve. 

I have reinstated McFahazza's change mate, all good for tomorrow's update.

Are you using the data update properly? All four of these players were transferred out of Hearts as the deals happened. 

Bailey Dall is at Spartans in the update

Szymon Plesiewicz is at Edinburgh City in the update

Ethan Drysdale is at Spartans

Ryan Duncan is at Civil Service Strollers

Do you need help in installing the update or checking profiles? All of those were actioned many weeks ago. 

Transfermarkt has him as ‘Retired’, but he is temporarily leaving Professional football to study Medicine. His intention is to player at lower levels if possible rather than retiring outright, as he is only 20 years old, so he has not ‘retired’ in the sense he won't play at lower levels, just from the rigours of Professional football at Premiership level. Have re-configured to ‘free-transfer’ and will keep an eye on which lower league club he turns out for now. 

He was removed by SI when they released the last data update for FM24, so can't be edited. 

Thanks mate, please feel free to contribute by updating transfers. I will pick these three up, but it would be just as quick for you to contribute to the update as it would to post for others to action. No ill will intended, but the point of the community update is that if you find transfers and are on the site, you can upload them for approval. 

Mangolo wasn't in FM24, but was in FM23, so he would need to be submitted as a new player. For Mariko, it looks like he does exist at Orlando Pirates but is loaned to Chippa. He has also been added as a new player at Djoliba. 

I don't have a save loaded with S. Africa active. Can you check that Mariko isn't at Chippa? If he is, I can disable his loan and delete the duplicate new player. 

Thanks mate, this player is part of the SI official database, rather than a player we have created. It may become possible to suggest specific position changes, but the best route is to load the pre-game editor before a save and change it for your own use. The SI researchers for his home nation had him down for those positions,but now he is in Scotland, he will transfer to the Scottish team. It may be worth sticking a message on the official SI Forum for SCotland to flag this to SI so that they account for it before the new game comes out.

This is not a problem with the files from here as far as I can see. 

Can you please confirm which version of the update you are using? Is it Dynamic or Classic? That will just allow us to rule out an issue with one that isn't present in the other, but it seems highly unlikely. 

Do you have any other files in use, even some that alter leagues etc? Sometimes player/person changes are integrated into those files but not declared. 

I am using today's update, but as you can see, Heitinga is at Ajax, Tudor is at Juventus and Conte is at Napoli. I have no other update files in use that add or alter people.

If you have purchased the game and it is fully up to date, it may be that he was added later in the development cycle, because the player you mention is in the database:

https://sortitoutsi.net/football-manager-data-update/person/2000252560 

Given he is in the database, he doesn't need added again. If not appearing in your save, I am not sure what is going on, as in theory, his profile has nothing to do with the data update we release, unless you are only loading the base database and not the most recent SI one that would automatically be available in your game if all updated. 

For players like this that were likely added in SI's January/February update after game release, he will only appear if using the latest SI database when you load a new game and not the original base one. 

Thanks, we are aware of the contract issue, and it should be resolved via today's update.

Another staff member (M.C.) has replied to your post in another thread. Basically, the contract issue is known and will be fixed in the update you can download tomorrow. Price wise, one £10 fee is an annual fee to access the Optional Dynamic Data update. The other £10 fee is an annual member subscription to allow for faster direct download of graphic packs with no need to use mirror sites and download in batches. 

@Singh000128 , in the case of Veiga, he is at Villarreal, and there is no issue with his transfer via the update here. If you have other data files enabled that also make changes to player transfers/contracts, it could be a clash between files, but if using this update only, there is no issue. 

@Peru Flu if you think any transfers have been missed, please submit via the Data Update page for approval. Can you provide examples of players on loan that are not where you expected them to be? If you mean all loans and not a small number of specific loans, It may be the results file. Is the issue present if you don't use the results file with the update? 

The update you downloaded today was built at around 2am UK time, Ederson's deal wasn't confirmed until this morning, so he won't be at Fenerbache until the update is released again tomorrow.

All fixed now @M.C 

M.C, we posted almost at the same time, I found three and fixed, will try to find the other two. Take it off your list!

Thanks, I fixed three, but can't find Simon Garcia twice or Iker Quintero twice. It may be because of how Spanish Youth/B sides are named. I don't have FM open, only here. Will try to sort out. The other three were duplicated across First Team/B/Youth squads, and now resolved. 

Thanks, both transfers are active and will be part of the next update.

Hi, 

Thanks for posting, it will eventually load. The issue is to do with the size of the Player History file, which has been updated. You can either disable that file, or see it out, but it will get there, and should only impact the game loading initially. Once loaded, and saved once, it won't happen every time you save. It is simply a symptom of the volume of changes to get Player Histories accurate over a circa two year period since last release. 

@einherjer83 in addition to the link issues, I also spotted that the config uses aberdeen, but the file names are missing the ‘r’ and are abedeen , so the Aberdeen kits won't work. For the config/file names, the rest all work but Hearts are named Heart and Livingston are named Livingstone with an additional ‘e’ that doesn't exist. Just in case it helps with the file/folder accuracy, as when I copied over last year's files I ended up with two sets of kits for Aberdeen, Hearts, Livingston etc. still in the folder. The only one that caused an issue in game was Aberdeen, given the mismatch between file names and config entries. 

Thanks

Hi mate, just to say on your fmslovakia site, the link under 2025/26 for Scotland is pointing to the 2024/25 kit download. The link from here is correct, but on your actual site it is wrong when looking in the 25/26 menu and using that link.
