Looking at photos that have been pending for a while, I'd like to add an idea to the suggestions made by @mons . IMHO, requesting created persons should be forbidden and people who are not in the official database should be rejected. If anyone wants to make cuts for the wonderkids database, they should do it themselves. 

 

I know this is an unpopular opinion 😅

@So1772022  Pic isn't large enough for a 250 cut

@Ibarra Please, don't request such small pics.

@TiagoSeattle Remeber to check if there's already a better cut.

@lost3 You should try to remove the snow since you're a prolific cutter. Most of your pics are very good, but a few of them could be better with this small fix 🙂

@Jrpmaestro As @Bastiaans said, please, before submitting a cut, check if there's already a pic for that person.

@Makelzzz Not an improvement. Also this pic is 9 years old. Current one is recent and facing the camera 🙂

I'm a bit concerned about the sheer amount of pending images currently in the request forum. I appreciate it's a combination of FM26 including an unusually large amount of new players needing to be cut after skipping FM25, and of the new official update adding a chunk of new people which also need to be cut.

 

However, I'd like to do something to deal with the situation before it gets even more out of hand. Here's some options I've thought of, but I'd like the community to pitch in 🙂

 

a) Improvement images cannot be requested if the person has had a cut produced in the last 12 months, unless there is a clear change in hairstyle or facial hair. I'm not saying they cannot be cut, but that they shouldn't be requested. At the moment, there's a bit of leeway in how this is interpreted, butI simply don't think it worthwhile to cut someone now who was cut at the start of this season just for the sake of it, for example.

 

b) pack requests to be limited to 2 or even 1 per person, instead of 3 as it stands. This should make people more careful on what to upload, and to batch requests rather than uploading 3 packs of 5 people each. This might also encourage frequent requesters to cut at least some of them, in order to get through their own backlog and enable another pack to be uploaded

 

c) individual image uploads to be limited to 2 or even 1 per person. Any more than 1, and you should really be uploading a pack imo.

 

d) pack uploads to be limited to 30 images. Unfortunately this would also impact game ready images and not sources.

 

 

Happy to consider anything else, or ignore all of the above if the community disagrees. We have a small group of overworked cutters, so I think it'd be wise to focus our work a bit more than we're doing right now.

 

My two cents:

 

a) I'm OK with this. There are people without cuts while some people have various cuts in the same year

 

b) I'm OK with this too. 

 

c) Not a bad idea, but I think it's a bit hard, I'd raise it to between 3-5. 

 

d) Not a fan of that one.

@Jrpmaestro Please, check the cuts in a dark background before submitting them

I spoke with mons re the rejections, and was suggested to run them through remove bg (which I did multiple times and clean the snow) which I believe I did… they are NOT the same pictures

 

When I rejected your cuts, I clearly stated they have snow and I pointed you how to remove the snow. I don't know if you read what I wrote or why you went to complain about your cuts being rejected, 😕 but anyway, the new ones are practically identical to the rejected ones because they still have snow.

@Jrpmaestro I think you've been around long enough to know that you shouldn't leave so much space above the heads and that the cuts should include a little bit of collar. 😕

@eminay I appreciate your efforts in finding pics for a low tier teams, but as per guidelines, minimum size acceptable is 180x180 pixels. But that's for the face, like this. A big pic who is a lot of sky, wall of empty space is worthless. The main focus is the face. Remeber to check it before submitting, because those pics can't be accepted.

This was the best image I could find of a team in the Turkish 4th league. I would have liked to find a better one.

 

If you don't find an image good enough, it's better not to request it. Rule of thumb: no pic > bad pic

@DDDNikolaj 

Hi man, can you give me a favor, please post it in a pack, 

so it will be easier to do it all at once rather than one by one like this

 

If you don't know how, you can ask them.

@mons @Lebohang Mokoena 

 

I'm sure he knows how, he uploaded packs in the past 😀

 

Just a reminder @DDDNikolaj if you aren't submitting a single pic, rememebert to use the “upload multiple” button. It's better for all 🙂

@Lebohang Mokoena B&W cut from a colored source ????

 

Why you do did that @Kqater ? Why do you always have to do these silly things and waste our time? We tell you a thousand times, and a thousand times you still make bad cuts and bother us. Why can't you behave?

@Lebohang Mokoena this photo is 2019 at best

 

I ran out of pending submissions so the updated photo is posted here instead

https://weleague.jp/files/2025/player/ardija/1502539_l.png

Thanks, I figured that is an old pic as most of this user requests, that's why I posted that same pic in the source links thread 😁 But thanks anyway 🙂

Both photos are indeed of Kirsty Linnett, the former Liverpool player. On Football Manager, she's listed as having been born in Calgary, but that's a typo. The Calgary assistant is indeed English. I hadn't noticed, but it says she has the UEFA B License; if she were Canadian, she would have taken the CONCACAF license, not the UEFA one.

 

Makes sense, I hope SI fixes this. I'll search for a more recent pic of her 🙂

@Julk44 @David Bernard Maybe she is, maybe not. Her profile says she's a 20 years canadian striker (which I haven't found any information). If she's actually the former Liverpool player, we can agree that a 16 year old tiny pic is far from acceptable. For now, it's best not to cut it until it can be clarified which of the two is. 🙂

apparently you prefer having no photos at all rather than older ones

 

Yes, that's clearly stated in the guidelines. Please, follow then. Discussion ends here.

Too many rules kill the rules. Why bother helping if you're just going to get reprimanded? I think next time I'll abstain and create my own separate file, and no one will tell me what to do and what not to do for people who don't even have a photo.

 

Do whatever you want in your own home. But here you have to follow the rules. Seriously, it's not that hard, everyone does it. We want the pack to contain current photos. If you don't like it, that's fine, but that doesn't mean you should request older ones. It's like going to the groceries to buy a TV.
