The MLS expansion draft is set to take place on December 11th so until that date the team don't have a squad to speak of.

I'll be sure to keep an eye on their transfers and update accordingly.

…..

I saw this post with a list of the FM24 current youth ratings and it's quite clear that these ratings haven't been touched or altered much in several years and don't really reflect reality.

If you could update these ratings to today, what youth rating do you think you would give to countries?

I'd probably improve Argentina, Spain, England, Croatia, France, Morocco, Senegal, Wales, Norway, Canada, USA, Mali, Japan, South Korea, Belgium, Serbia, etc. (The exact ranking is harder to determine but maybe the top teams should reflect the fifa rankings)

I'd decrease Brazil, Egypt, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, UAE, Nigeria, Iraq, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Lebanon, Israel, etc.

On my playthrough I'm finding it a bit frustrating that you can only loan out 7 players domestically so I think I'll change this rule because it means top players can share their players within France rather than abroad.

Flemish and Walloon have been added to the database nations and given as second nations to people born in Belgium based on their region of birth.

Initially I wanted for just Walloons to be able to be signed in France but the overlap is quite big so I thought making all Belgians able to be signed was the best option.

Corsica and Brittany now have non FIFA member national teams but players who play for these teams are still eligible to play for France.

Quebecois, Swiss Romandie and Aosta Valley are all added as second nationalities without a national team.

Swiss Romand has been assigned as a second nationality based on region of birth

Update:

I didn't realise I had mixed up the Corsica and Quebec graphics so that's resolved now in the latest update.

Also if you notice that the names of nation revert back to the name of the previous nation in the database like this example where Corsica  has reverted back to the Republic of Zaire

the fix for this is as follow:

• Save the game
• Shut down Football Manager
• Open Football Manager
• Open your saved game
• The name will be changed to the edited nation name

A full restart of the game will usually fix the issue entirely.

I've finished my first version of it now.

Coincidentally I'm working on the French version of this!

Look out for it to be released soon.

The main objective of the file is to see what the Premier league would look like if it was dominated by British only players.

Having existing foreign players in all the squads lessens the urgency for teams to buy more British players and for top end clubs it financially bankrupts them since high wage players they can't use in any tournament, apart from the european cups, sit draining resources.

It makes more sense to release all these players so that the clubs are able to rebuild their teams straight away (which is why I inflated the budgets of all teams to achieve this).

If you'd like to make your own file based on this idea please feel free.

I would suggest just customising the existing england league rules to make it harder to buy foreign players

I have never played this game before or even really heard of it but the absolute amount of detail seems incredible.

For something made over a decade ago it has elements to the game that FM has never had.

I've been getting requests of other nations to do this with.

If you have a request for a nation I should do, just leave it in this thread.

So far my list to work on is:

• Italy
• Germany
• France
• Spain
• Scotland
• Norway

from doing a few sims of the database it seems like the effects on the English national team are really good and they start winning a lot of trophies but English clubs stop winning as much continental tournaments.

I made league updates for all the leagues in the UK but experienced an error when using them all together because the England league stopped working.

I'm trying to fix this so Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are all available with the same rules.

This is possible with a few teams in the game that are hard coded to only sign their based nation's players.

One example you can use is an extinct team called Bermuda Hogges.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending who you play as) , Haaland is still English and yes he scores a lot of goals.

Thank you mate

Thank you!

FM is unfortunately not running on my laptop anymore.

Keep getting crash messages when I try to start up the game so I won't be able to update this file.

I'll try to run some tests to see why there's a problem with European qualification.

With the MK Dons issue this happened on my last version of this DB as well with the name of Dublin Dons reverting back to MK Dons. 

Exiting the game and loading it back up sometimes gets it to load the name correctly but it could also be an issue with the file not being compatible with the latest update.

As I said I'll give it a check.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

the lower league database is merged with the real bedford file so you only require one editor data file

Tried to make the Real Bedford Women's team an affiliate but the game doesn't recognize the women's club option properly and signs blokes anyway.

(I guess these players are transgender)

removed the women's affiliate in the latest versions of the database.

Fallen in love with my star striker rocketing me through the leagues.

I don't know how to make 3D kits

Since there are graphics in the pack you'll need to refresh the game to get them to display.
