Disclaimers
- Transfers/Loans: This is an ongoing update created by fans. Sure it will have missed moves. As the summer progresses we will keep working on the data to make it better and better. Remember, we are volunteers who do this for fun.
- European formats: The formats of the European tournaments do NOT MATCH the real 24/25 season due to the limited options in the FM24 editor. This makes it impossible to change the start of the new CL, EL and UCL formats for the first season to match the real life football season.
- EURO 2024: And also due to the limitations of the FM24 we can't skip the 2024 EUROS, so the tournament will be played after the first season
- Starting date: This update will make you start in 2023. Due to the limitations of the game and the editor we can't use a custom start date and do transfers. This will mess up the entire database and it is therefore not possible to start in July 2024 without screwing up the game.
- Point deductions: SI has hardcoded some of the point deductions in the game. We have tried to remove these, but they keep on returning. This is for example Everton's -6 point deduction. These can't be removed through the editor.
