Carlito85 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I'm creating a 24-team group stage (6 groups) where the top team qualifies for the quarter final, but I also need the best two runner-up sides to qualify by points and then goal difference (if needed). Is this possible? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Of course. Just use sub-table for those 2nd placed teams. Take a look at my FIFA nations league- league 4 settings. I have similar settings because i needed to promote best 4th team. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlito85 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 @krlenjushka Would these numbers be accurate for the sub table? League Stage Index = 2 (Group Stage is the third round in the competition so I have it listed as Stage 2-2) Position = 1 (2nd placed teams) Maximum Teams to Take Into Account = 6 (6 groups) Minimum Group Size = 4 Maximum Group Size = 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 Maximum Teams to Take Into Account = 4 because you have 4 teams in group. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upload your file and i will take a look I managed to fix that issue by changing the value to 0. It must be a case of the top team being ignored as they have already qualified, and so 0 equates to 2nd place in this instance - 2nd being the highest team not to qualify. The other issue I'm having is that it seems to be picking 2nd placed teams at random instead of it being based on who has the highest points and then goal difference. I can't see an option to set points total as the priority. EDIT: Just found the store results (used when calculating sub-tables) tick box.

Carlito85 Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 @krlenjushka Here's a more up to date version with the correct seeding for the competitions. Real Madrid keep appearing in the quarter final even though they're in the UEFA Cup, so it's only recognizing 7 qualified teams instead of 8, and the runners-up aren't accurate.

krlenjushka Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 You should take a look at my FIFA Nations League file. You need to create that league stage for second placed teams. You only made changes to group settings but stage is never added. Check FIFA League 4 stages 0 and 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at it earlier but I was a bit confused as to what some of the stuff meant. For example stage 1 is for 4th placed teams but won't they only play against each other due to it being a playoff stage? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
krlenjushka Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Its simple. You have settings in group stage under group settings section and you have to create stage like i did. My stage was stage 1 - in yout case stage 3 i think. Just set like this and thats it. They dont play against each other - just fictional league stage with 2nd (in my case 4th) placed teams. Just like second placed teams table in euro qualifications(real life) on livescore. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your file I noticed they're promoted to another competition (league 4 to league 3). Do I need to use the promotion method too in order to get them to the quarter final?

krlenjushka Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 No. Just take a look how stage is set. Qualification rules or fate actions are different based on what you want to achive with that stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i deleted "requirements" list in stage 3 because its not needed. Stage 3 is live table and doesnt have to wait for stage 2 to finish. You also had at least 10 not needed options thicked. I always speak about this-use minimum options you need because you can never know which option will cause some errors. Only way to learn about advanced editor is to add 1 option and test it. If you add 5 options and remove 2 old ones you cant know which option caused any change. Its slow but its only way. For example you added "transfer standings" and "process results into stage" options. No need for that at all. I often case - people just thick 10 options and when they have some problems they cant solve it. TBH usually when i see file like this i just delete it and continue with my work.

You should check how this is set in default UEFA cup. They add lowest possible seeding for teams qualified for UEFA cup from champion league. You have seedings 0 and 1 added to intertoto cup winner and 2nd placed teams so i guess thats the reason. Also i think qualification doesnt work that way anymore. You have many answers in deafult competitions. As you can see (add space for team example) everything can change from version to version. Some option can work on FM19 but not on FM20. Only way to be sure is to create simple 10 teams comp and try to qualify 1 team to another euro comp using every possible option. One by one and test. SI use some "insert in next stage using team mapping" option. I never used this option so i dont know how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have mentioned that the file is based on the 1997-1999 UEFA setup. 3 UEFA Intertoto Cup teams qualified for the UEFA Cup at that time. I think it's actually to do with the recent update as everything was working fine in version 1.3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the same settings for the Intertoto Cup in file 35 and it works absolutely fine, but in files 36 and 37 it's bugging out.
