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.

Born in Billericay, England, on 10th April 1980, Jay Mann had always dreamt of being a Football Manager. Having only ever played in the Sunday Leagues and having no Coaching Badges wasn't going to stop Jay. After all, had he not just won the Champions League on a computer game called Football Manager?
I went from FM17 to FM21, as again I loved 17 so much (I had two epic Journeyman saves on it) that I didn't need a new game for those intervening years. For me it's about enjoying the game version I have, rather than feeling the need to ‘upgrade’ ea...
If you like FM24 so much then there is nothing wrong with sticking with it. I'm still playing FM21 because I love that version so much. For the new game (whenever that comes out) I would not bother with FM25, just wait ‘til FM26 comes out and y...
Can you tell us where we can download your superb 2d and 3d kits from please? Also, where are your tactics available from?
If it's always the same date that the crash occurs on, have you tried holidaying past it? That sometimes gets around it (in past FMs it did anyway).
7zip usually works well too, and is free.
When your wife walks out on you and you don't notice for two weeks.
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.
Hi Francesco, try going on holiday until January 2nd. That worked for me when I had a similar problem in being unable to get past a certain date.
Hi mate, I had a very similar thing on an older version of FM. Is it always the same date that it crashes on? If it is always on the same date, try going on holiday until the day afterwards. That certainly worked for me (no guarantees obv...
Hi mate, is there a specific reason for wanting the FM15 pack? Only, you can use any of the later packs too, as all the club references etc stay the same from game to game.
Hi Footygamer, yes apologies for not being clear enough, though the issue does seem to be fixed as of now anyway.Basically, I always get my cutout photos via the ‘Search FM Database’ page, right clicking on each one I need and selecting ‘Save Image As’. &...
Issue still persisting for me too (using Firefox). Have cleared cache, to no avail. This is so frustrating as I use this a hell of a lot to get missing player photos for my saves.Can you reverse the change that you made? That has clearly...
