Yeah you can manage the Reserve team if you fire/don't hire their manager and take over staff responsibility
I don't actually manage them directly (I already manage first team + national team including U23, U20 and U19 in major tournaments!) but I make sure the manager uses my tactics and I pick the first eleven so my best prospects get the desired playing time. I'm using a custom NZ file so it's an active league (using Timo's file as most of the others I've tested had weird issues with Phoenix reserve btw if TMC wants a new challenge for FM 24 I suggest the incredibly complicated NZ structure 
)
Guess there aren't many team where the first and second teams play in different nations. Would make a nice savegame to be champions in both nations.
Both Phoenix and their reserves can't qualify for the OFC CL, normally. Would be awesome if they both did (I know TMC already made the first team play in the OFC). Or that you could win the AFC CL with the 1st team and the OFC CL with the 2nd team and then play the CWC final with both teams 😎

Norwich was hardest test in M23 and the only tactic with decent pts was WOF 424 PSG P112
Most years I have great succes with your tactics, even with lower league teams. Then it's obvious that my players are completely rubbish 😉😂

(FM23) Ended with only 16 points, which is a record low in the L2.
Gonna continue in the Vanarama again.

Thanks. On FM Scout I found two of your tactics, looking for underdog and solid.
But gonna try your Wigan tactic first!

I would use last years underdog tactics with new SPs
I will post tactics today 424 451 4141, but they are not underdog tested
Like this tactic I found in the underdog tab?
I am still on FM23. Do I need other set pieces too? Or did you mean new SP for those who already play FM24?

@knap What is the best tactic to avoid relegation in the League Two? I am managing Bromley and got promoted via the Vanarama play-offs (finishing 3rd in the league)
My team is by far the worst performing team in the L2 atm, scoring only 14, conceding 58, after 20 matches.
Using ME23.2HGFKnap451PSGP112ALLCUPS atm which might have let me overperform in the Vanarama and grow too fast. Already changed the mentality to defending, but that only gave me one point (of a total 4)
Don't know if it is important, but I am playing a simulation game, like the Omega Luke rebuilds on YT. So only setting my tactic, locking in a few players and simulate the season.
Anything that helps me prevent relegation and let me grow in a stable manner would be nice. I like tactics that can be used at all levels. If you need more information, please ask.

A-League is not much tougher esp after first year (AI struggles with all the roster rules). Phoenix/NZ are great for developing youngsters for both club and country. Usual pathway for best prospects is: OFC U19 Championship, U20 World Cup, U23 Pacific Games, U23 Olympic Qualifiers while also playing for Phoenix Reserves in NZ league. This gives them lots of playing time at decent level at 16-18 and massively helps their development. Top prospects like Keegan Kelly go straight to first team
@Vakama2619 tbh he scores a lot (too much) from corners though his physical attributes alone make him one of the best strikers in A-league! Is he in your save? Found him at Western Springs as I was looking for a striker for U19 OFC Championship and looked good for his age - immediately signed him at the club on a scholarship contract! He has since developed better than I expected and made him first choice in second season, his numbers are crazy and I love to inflate them against tiny teams in Australian Cup or OFC (CL and international qualifiers)
. I'm sure he could break every goal scoring record at both club and international level
So you can manage the Wellington reserves? Of you send send them from your 1st team to the reserves and then they automaticly play in the NZ league?

Would Crimea (which I believe is in the FM23 Database) be able to fit on that front? Or is there some other thing my dumbass is missing
I think every nation, (semi) autonomous region and dependency can fit any fantasy database as long as people understand that it is just fantasy and not a political view.
1 -
If you're looking for extra nations, possibly for a fantasy file and want to include everything there possibly is, you could look to dependencies and partly recognized nations. Like Niue, Galapagos, Pitcairn, Abkhazia; the unclaimed Bir Tawil; the Holy See; the The Hospitaller Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, of Rhodes, and of Malta; Greenland, Jersey, Tristan da Cunha, Norfolk Island, Sapmi, Kurdistan, Karelia, Mordovia, Aland, etc. Note: some of them might be politically very sensitive.

Participation starts in 2024. And yes, it's apparent that running two files that edit the same competition is a bad idea, lol, but I think your issue was down to a missed number somewhere - fixing that now, the first season accidentally had two teams advancing from the prelims instead of 1, so it looks like they were taking a spot. Thanks for the (effective) bug report
sorry about that
No problem. It wasn't quite clear to me if I needed one or both files.
Will only use one then

I feel it would be harder to win and more exciting to play if the UEFA CL winner doest not get a free pass directly into the finals
Would the play-off winners then be randomized in the semis in your suggested set-up?

At which point should Wellington Phoenix start in the OFC CL?
In the first season they didn't qualify for the OFC CL.
And another strange thing happened. I am managing Pirae in Tahiti (French Polynesia) I won the OFC play-offs vs another team from Tahiti, but was never allowed to play in the group phase.I am using both the OFC redux file and the Wellington Phoenix in OFC file. Perhaps that is the problem?

I figured Pacific FC vs HFX Wanderers was up there (or the Distance Derby in the A-League), but that blows it out of the water. Normally it's impossible for two teams from the same country to play in the AFC Champions League final as its East vs. West, but you could have those two in the final with the recent changes to my ACL file
With 1 team fron Kaliningrad and 1 team from Sakhalin, they can be both from outside mainland Russia 😄

In the meantime, the OFC final stage is rotated around, so the Wellington file has a small chance that in some years this can take place at Aloha Stadium or the Rapa Nui stadium that's in the game. Oceanian solidarity ftw
Is that in your first Wellington in OFC file or in the Hawaii file or both?
Edit: I am a bit confused right now. If I want the expanded OFC Champions League, but with Wellington Phoenix and possibly also Hawaii, etc, do I need one file or multiple?
0 -
I am thinking about Midway, Clipperton, Galapagos and Easter Island, etc 😉 😃 Don't know if they have football clubs there, but a bigger OFC CL just sounds so much fun.
Just like a club cup for islands in the Indian Ocean. Maldives, Seychelles, Comoros, Reunion, Mayotte, Madagascar, Java, Sumatra, Cocos Islands, Christmas island, Kerguelen, Andaman and Nicabar Islands, Bali, Flores, Rodrigues, Sri Lanka, Zanzibar, Pemba, etc 😎😃

I think it's fine but definitely let me know if you spot something off. My competition names file renames the Viareggio to the Coppa Carnevale or something like that, but otherwise I haven't touched it. I could see it being an issue if it's coded as being an Italian tournament and you're using an Italian file that doesn't account for it (or maybe the mod maker for the Italian DB you're using loaded it under their nation rules instead of club continental rules, so it might show up under "Italy" instead of "World")
I saw it was already mentioned in the FM22 bug forum and I mentioned it in the FM23 bug forum too. It has something to do with the Italian leagues. If a mod maker edits those, the Viareggio won't start. It is in the game though and with the same name, but teams never qualify and matches won't be created. If you don't load those specific Italian files everything works as should.
I hope I can start my new long term save this afternoon/evening 😊 Thanks for all your hard work TMC! I saw you made a new O-League too!

Sounds good! Do you need more testing?
Meanwhile I found out which file cause my game to not load the Viareggio, so I can put that aside too.

Cheers @Jorgen for raising a good point, apologies for my sleep-deprived a$$ not quite understanding the question. I'm changing it now so that if the same two CanPL teams occupy all the relevant spots (CanChamp winner, CanPL reg season winner, and CanPL playoff winner [with runner-up as backup]), then the third spot will fall to whoever's next in the regular season table
Thanks and no worries. Because of the enormous difference in our time zones, real time conversation is always in the middle of the night for one of us.
Yeah, I thought long about who should get the continental ticket when (almost) all slots are occupied by the same two (or three) teams. Seems like the only 3rd place we can be sure about (without editing those competitions) was the 3rd place in CanPL regular season
I am looking forward to playing with this file 😊👍🏻

I have opened it, but I can't see any of the qualification rules. I am sorry, I am not familiar with this part of the editor.

Cheers, I wasn't going to touch CONCACAF this year but someone had to and honestly it took me all year editing to build up the know-how and patience to do this properly
I can explore ways to get a third place team if there's a conflict, but I covered everything else in my last post. It's not a random MLS/MX team, just the next one down the table. You may be better served actually looking at the editor data and reading my prior responses instead of posting AI-generated questions
? You didn't understand what I meant. I made an Excel table myself and only used ChatGPT to double check my findings.
The questions/suggestons were my own 😉😂
I thought I've read everything but might've missed/forget the part where you wrote about the "next team down the table".0 -

Yeah you got it, by cup final I meant playoffs. Same qualifying structure as real life. They haven't clarified what would happen if someone double-qualified so I'm using my best guesses
What is the order of importance of the 3 slots?
is it 1. CanPL play-offs // 2. CanPL regular // 3. CanChamp?
I made an Excel table to see what happens and let ChatGPT check it afterwards.
If the same team wins all three competitions and in all three cases the same team finishes second, then there is a problem. In that case, FM could choose the number three from the regular season, instead of a random team from the MLS or Liga MXIf the same team wins all three competitions and there are two different runners-up (runner-up A with 1 final and runner-up B with 2 finals) then it is only a problem if team A took part in the highest-rated competition. That ticket already went to the winner and in the other 2 tournaments there is again the same runner-up. In that case, FM should know that he can also choose the runner-up of the higher-rated tournament.
Would it be an option to tell the game to look to both less important and more important tournaments to choose the replacement teeam and when in doubt choose regular season team number 3?

CanPL regular season winner gets the other spot. If the same team wins both it should be the cup final runner-up. If either of those teams has also won the CanChamp then it might get confused and bring in a spare mexican or US team
Aha. So the three spots are divided as follows:
Spot 1: winner of CanChamp
Spot 2: winner of CanPL regular season
Spot 3: winner of CanPL play-offsWith Cup final you mean CanChamp? or something else. I am a bit confused now.

@themodelcitizen TMC, could you do another check of the Canadian teams qualifying from CanPL to Concacaf Champions Cup? In my latest simulation, The Winner of the Canadian Championship qualifies and the winner of the CanPL does too. The nr 2 however doesn't.
This was in a simulation with a lot of other editor files. Will start another simulation with only your files running0
I don't actually manage them directly (I already manage first team + national team including U23, U20 and U19 in major tournaments!) but I make sure the manager uses my tactics and I pick the first eleven so my best prospects get the desired playing time. I'm using a custom NZ file so it's an active league (using Timo's file as most of the others I've tested had weird issues with Phoenix reserve btw if TMC wants a new challenge for FM 24 I suggest the incredibly complicated NZ structure

Oldest save I have is from june 27th, but that is already after the relegation to Vanarama
