Hi David, in order to have a blank background, the file needs to be saved as a .png file, not a .jpeg. Using the remove backgound app (or this website does a good job too: https://www.remove.bg/) and saving the result as a .png should do what you want.

Yes, ‘newgens’ are still very much a part of FM24.  They have to be to ensure that saves can go on for as long as the player wants them to.
