Does anybody know how to change the nation logo, in the player overview? I want to replace the default national logos, and some custom ones but I cant seem to find a way to change them. I have tried altering the panel, and using the location of where my custom ones are but that didn't work, and I tried removing the flags from the panel all together hoping that they would automatically use my custom ones but that also hasn't worked, so Im out of ideas!

Perfect, thanks a lot

Does the colour name for this and the team name go in the competition panel or in the skin settings?

This is going fantastically well. You've really developed the club nicely especially with the youngsters coming through. It's given me some ideas to implement into my Venezia save! Keep it up!

Is there any good training reccomendations yet, or is it too early/still able to use last years?

Great work as ever.

Any idea on how this would work in the MLS for example?

Perfect, thanks a lot.

That looks fantastic. Is there any chance you could share that panel?

Brilliant thanks a lot. I'll have a go at sorting this later. Thanks

Please close and ignore. I found out that some of my custom graphics were causing a problem. Since deleting them, I can now get into games.

Has anybody else had a problem even playing a game? I can get to my 1st pre-season friendly, select my team, confirm and then the game crashes.

Yes that is what I mean. My OCD needs to know that I have the correct kits in the right order!!

I know this is a little thing, but is there any way to get the labels under the kits to show the colour of each one?

Season 2: End of Season Review Boavista (RJ) | Brazil Serie C | 2023 Finances | Squad | Transfer History Brasileiro Serie C Going into this campaign I was looking for a top half finish and maybe try to sneak into the play offs. However, early on it seemed that the players had other ideas. We lost 1 of our first 11 while winning 8 of them putting us comfortably in first place. Through the next 2 months our form would dip a little which resulted with us finishing in 3rd place. In the playoffs I really didn't know how to feel. Yes it would be amazing to go up, but realistically we wern't good enough to survive. However, once again the players had other ideas and after winning our first 3 games, we were top of our group and pretty much promoted. Although we lost our next game, our promotion was secured with a 0-0 draw. A win in our final game meant that we won our group and would progress to the Final with the chance to be confirmed Champions. The first leg was terrible. We lost 4-1. It wasn't helped by our experienced right back making 2 terrible errors that resulted in goals. He ended up with a 5.5 match rating. I don't think that I've seen one that bad before. Naturally he was furious when he was fined 2 weeks wages for that performance, as he didn't think he was that bad!! The second leg however was exceptional. We started really well scoring 2 in the first 10. We then made it 4-0 just after the hour mark but then decided to stop creating any chances. Confianca scored in the 81st minute and we were headed to a penalty shootout for the title. It was all even at 4-4 before 3 of the next 4 penaltys were missed. Thankfully they missed 2 of them and we were champions!! League Table | Second Stage | Final | Results 1 & 2 * * * Youth Intake Preview | Talents | Whole Intake Bernandinho | Jeferson Geraldo | Luiz Fernando | Maylon | Ratao Last year I said that the main thing I wanted was a goalkeeper. Thankfully this has been answered. While the personalities still aren't amazing they are decent and once again we seemed to have missed the high potential players having any bad personalities. Looking forward to the next few seasons it's going to be intakes like this. Unfortunately with our terrible finances we don't look like we will be upgrading any of the facilities, and so its going to be a long stretch and just praying on good personalities and potential. Our current Head of Youth Development is Fairly Professional and going into his 3rd season, but with the lack of help coming from the facilities, I'm not to sure if its even worth looking to improve on him. What are other peoples thoughts? Should I look to upgrade to a better personality because thats even more important with terrible facilities, or do I just stick with what I've got because its not going to make a big difference anyway? * * *

Good news, the president has injected some money to help the club. Bad news, were now only £400k in debt!

Season 2: Mid Season Review Boavista (RJ) | Brazil Serie C | 2023 Carioca Serie A (State League) League Table | Results A pretty dissapointing performance from us. To only win 3 games is nowhere near good enough. The losses to Resende & Madureira were terrible and ones that we cant afford. The draw to Portuguesa was another bad result, and we really cant afford to be drawing at home to fellow Serie C team Volta Redonda if we want to break into the top 4. Like I said it was a dissapointing performance but at least there are some signs of potential. A good 3-3 draw away to Serie A Fluminense showing that on our day were not too far away from at least pushing for promotion. While we lost to the other big 3, this year the results were a lot closer. Copa do Brasil Result Another Serie A team in the first round, and another loss because they are the higher seed. This was a big chance for us to progress. While Ponte Preta are a Serie A team they have just been promoted after finishing 3rd last season. We went 2-0 up and managed to hang on to the lead until the 72nd minute. Unfortunately we just couldn't create another good chance in the last 20 minutes, so we went out. The £150k appearance fee was a welcome addition but with us now effectivly £1m in debt, it didn't make a difference. We really need the board to put some money into the club or we need another board. Im pretty sure however in Brazil that presidents are appointed through elections, so Im hoping that there is one very soon, and not every 4 years.

Season 1: End of Season Review Boavista (RJ) | Brazil Serie C | 2022 Club Staff | Transfer History | Finances Campeonato Carioca Serie A (State League) League Table | Results As this is my pre-season and was the first look at my new team, I think I can be pretty happy with how it went. We obviously got beaten by the 4 big teams, although we were better than the score looks against Vasco & Fluminense. The early draw against Bangu was a sign of things to come throughout the season. Created chances but couldn't score. The loss to Angra Audax at the end of the tournament was also a really big let down, one of my initial aims for this team was to always finish in the top 5, but when by this time in the season we had a couple of big injuries and were already starting to look forward towards the Brasil Cup and the League campaign. Copa do Brasil 1st Round Tree | Results We got a horrible draw against a Serie A team. Going forward we really need to get some easier draws because we need the money! We battled hard in this game, but honestly we Operario deserved the win. It's such a shame that the stupid Higer Seed rule exists, as we might have had a chance in extra time. It's a big problem in Brazil and its a big reason why the Serie A teams stay richer than everyone else. Brasileiro Serie C League Table | Results Well we survived! This was a horrible league season and one where I was pretty adamant that we were going to get relegated or sacked. Off the pitch the players started to turn against me, and then moaned about everything and anything. On the pitch we couldn't buy a win, couldn't score & even if we finally managed to beat the goalkeeper we would hit the woodwork. Looking at the results its very easy to see that this season was completly about the first 2 months vs the last 2 1/2 months. We lost some terrible games including to the worst 2 teams Parana & Floresta. The two defeats to the Botafogo's were also bad especially the second one. We missed a 4th minute penalty, created lots of chances, missed sitters, hit the post and then conceded in the 95th minute (despite there only meant to be 3 extra minutes). After the disgusting loss to Floresta I decided that I would go a lot more hands off. My assistant manager would take control of training & all press conferences. I mainly wanted to see if he could manage to stop the players moaning about training and also raise their training performances. Something seemed to click as we won 3 straight and managed to move ourselves clear of the relegation places. A further 3 wins from the last 6 meant that we comfortably finished 14th and could start to think about next season. The pleasing thing despite all the negativity is that we managed to beat some good teams. America (RN) & Londrina are the two wins that stand out. Now this coming season if we can become a more reliable and start to beat the poor teams around us then hopefully we can finish towards the top half, maybe sneak into the playoff places. * * * Squad 1st Team | Under 20's Eron | Kadu Fernandes | Wellington Silva | Renan Donizete | Stefano Yuri Overal the squad did about as expected with some exceptional performances. It's quite an elderly squad which includes our two full backs Eron (30) & Wellington Silva (34) but despite their age they showed their quality time and time again. Silva is staying for another season and despite his age still has some fantastic attributes, although his physicals are starting to fall away. Should be good enough for another league campaign. Eron is a different matter. He is club captain and has done nothing but moan and be uncooperative. He is currently considering his options and will probably be leaving on a free transfer. In a couple of years I would welcome his departure but at the minute we cant afford to lose a decent player. The two 27 year olds Kadu Fernandes & Renan Donizete played really well especially during our league campaign. Fernandes will move into a leadership role this coming season and has certainly cemented his place as our starting CB. If he can continue to improve then theres no reason to believe that he couldn't still be our starting CB in 4/5 years time. Donizete initially stood out as an CAM but throughout the season mainly played as a CM. He started to show glimpses that he could become a dominant and clinical passer in this league including his 4 assists game against Brusque. I was also massivly thankful for his versatility as throughout our many injury crisises he was able to slot in on the wings and didn't look out of place. Depending on future intakes I could see that becoming his full time position. Up front it was all about Yuri. Without him I don't think we would have survived. He was resonably reliable and now that we have survived we will look to improve him by teaching him some traits that will hopefully increase his goal tally next season. We had to extend his contract and offer him an extra thousand per week, but he just proved to be indispensable to us. No doubt when we need to extend his contract again this coming season his demands will go up again but so far he is worth it. A quick note on the Under 20's. For the majority of the season it was fine simulator! I was pretty dissapointing that the fines didn't result in a big jump in attributes but every little helps! There is some potentially decent players that will have roles for us. One of the two CB's will be called up this season, and if Mateus Lustosa recovers well from his bad injury (damaged spine) then he will get a shot. Ideally it would have been during the state league but that is probably coming a bit too soon for him. Nilton will be released. All he does is moan. He had some terrible match ratings including a 5.8. Obviously he was fined 1 weeks wages and complained that it was unfair. This went on and on all season so Ive had enough! * * * Youth Intake Preview | Talents | Intake Dorismar Felipe | Almeida | Paulo Rogerio | Lucas Silva Overall not too unhappy with this intake. Obviously there are a lot of personalities that aren't good enough but thankfully the best potential players seem to have missed them. The spread of positions is probably the best thing looking back at this intake. While I am going to need a Goalkeeper very soon, we have filled the needs at RB & LB, RM & LM. Looking towards next season I am hopeful that we will get some better personalities and as previously stated a Goalkeeper. The reported star candidate is Dorismar Felipe. If we can obviously improve his physicals and mentals then I agree that he will become a fantastic addidtion to this team. Looking at his attributes the pleasing thing is that the majority are already resonably high. By the time he is 18 I expect that he's in the first team and looking like a good Serie C player. Defensive Midfielder Almeida looks to have massive potential. I like his personality, media handling & determination. There are however a few glaring weaknesses that will need to be addressed. His tackling, positioning, off the ball, decisions, composure and stamina all mean that unless they improve a lot, he will be moved up to play either CM or CAM. He's not long turned 16 so he has plenty of time to improve and become a star midfielder for us. Midfielder Paulo Rogerio is another fantastic prospect. Some of his current attributes are already good enough for Serie C. 1st Touch, Passing, Vision & Flair all seem to suggest that he will become our main assister. Just like Almeida his physicalls are awful and that along with his media handling are the main things that I can see holding him down. Lucas Silva im not sure will make it as a ST. He seems to be better suited to play on the wings or even as another CAM. He has better physicals than many of the top prospects but they're still not great. If his tackling was better then I would maybe consider moving him to play CM but I don't think thats possible. We will just have to wait and see how he develops * * *

EDIT: Please ignore. Answered my own question!!

Having read through the last 21 - 30 pages, I've now got the itch to start this challenge again. I had an attempt with Chertanovo in Russia at the start of the game, but I've decided that I want a fresh start so I've decided I am going back to Brazil where I've had previous attempts in FM21. After setting the game up and reloading about 50 times to get an idea of the available teams, I've decided to go with Boavista (RJ). Theres a couple of main reasons. Firstly they have never been in Serie C let alone Serie A (according to the ingame) so I've got a chance to create real history and build this club up. Secondly and most importantly their state league is Carioca Serie A. The State League is made up of 12 teams. The top 4 go onto the Championship Semi Final and Final. The bottom team is relegated. In the league are 4 big Serie A teams Vasco da Game, Botafogo, Fluminense & Flamengo. The majority of the time they will always be the top 4 in this league. After that the next best team will hopefully be us. The reason this State League is important (I think!) is because if you manage to finish in the top 4 and qualify for the Semi Final you are guaranteed £69k. If you make it to the Final you will get an additional £69k for losing or £207k for winning. This might not seem like a lot of money, but during the intial 5-7 years while we are trying to make our way up to Serie A this money could be massively important. It might be the difference between upgrading the Junior Coaching or not, or even stopping a player from being sold. To put it another way, there are other State Leagues that dont pay any prize money. Now for the long grind towards success or total failure!!

Thanks

The stadium was originally built in 1913, but rebuilt in 2021. It's owned by the Council. After the season it was announced that the board were searching for a site to build on, so thankfully it looks like we will be ok. My massive concern was that it was hard wired for the club not to look for a new stadium! Very Nice and so very jealous of you!!

How would I go about implamenting this into the staff search? I have tried adding some of the reccomendations from this thread into the person search staff views but that didn't seem to work. Am I trying to add it to the correct panel?

Can anybody please help/answer my question? Im currently managing Venezia and I'm planning on this being my last career save on FM22. The obvious main problem or big sticking point is the tiny stadium. Now when managing every other team there is always an option to ask to expand or build a new stadium, but I don't have that option here. There isn't a planned stadium move so I'm not sure whats going on. I don't want to stick around for 7+ seasons if were not going to be able to move into a bigger stadium. Has anybody either managed Venezia for a long time and got a new stadium built? or can anybody with a long term save check and see if Venezia ever move into a new stadium. Thanks
