Anyone have any thoughts about fitness and keeping players fresh? I have a couple who the physio is recommending I send on holiday for a week but the player is complaining about not getting enough minutes. It's December. Seven players who need to go on holiday despite being on half training for most of the season seems... excessive.
If I have another game within three or four days, I always rest my players for two days (right click on the player, go to training and select rest). Probably not ideal for their development but keeps them a bit more fresh.

If I remember correctly, in previous version of FM each coach had a preferred tactical style i.e. Gegenpress, Catenaccio etc. but I can't see that anymore in FM24, I only see preferred formation. has this been removed or moved to somewhere else? Thanks

I'm playing as RB Leipzig and in the three years I've been managing them, I haven't had the option to ask my board to upgrade my youth facilities (they are rated Excellent at the moment, so there is room for improvement). I don't know if this is a bug or a specific issue with RB Leipzig.
Note: I have been able to upgrade my normal training facilities.

Okay, that isn't the issue though. I have to retype this because the original post failed, and I don't want to come off as condescending, but I need to make this clear so people understand what's happening:
- steve.bs69 wants to know if there's an easier way to see the 'Tired' status that doesn't involve hovering over the heart icon, most likely as separate section (like in the same way you can see players Position, Nationality, etc.).
- people are telling him that you can find the information easily in the Medical Centre. You can't - not any easier than finding it in the Tactics section anyway. You still have to hover over the heart icon.
- Fatigue is not an indicator of of the 'Tired' status. You can be fatigued and have 'Excellent - Match Fit' as a status, and have the same level of fatigue and be 'Excellent - Tired'. The difference between 'Excellent - Match Fit' and 'Excellent - Tired' is usually a single day of not playing a match.
- The real problem is that the heart icon is both full and green for the 'Peak', 'Excellent - Match Fit' and 'Excellent - Tired' statuses. You can have to hover over them to tell the difference.
The reason this has probably never been considered an issue for SI is because there's already a visible difference between the heart icons for 'Peak', 'Excellent - Match Fit' and 'Excellent - Tired' - they're just so difficult to see that it's causing problems. Here's a close-up of the heart icons. You'll see that they're all a different shade of green.
If there's a way to change those colours so they're more obviously different, that'll probably help steve.bs69 out.
This is the main issue I have with the hearts and is why I always go back to the percentages (using a custom skin). There needs to be more obvious differentiation between the colours. I shouldn't have to hover over the heart to see the players status - I should be able to quickly look at it and know.

I'm halfway through my third season at Arsenal and have Prestianni in my u-21 team. He isn't good enough for my first team so I want to loan him out but I also want him to gain Club - Homegrown status. At the moment it is December 2025 and he will gain Club - Homegrown status on 28/06/2026 (in 184 days). He is still only 19 and turns 20 on 31 January.
My plan is to loan him out at the end of the winter transfer window for half a season so he would then re-join my team on 01/07/2026. This would leave 215 days before he turns 21, which is more than the required days to become Club - Homegrown status.
Would this work or do the days to become Club - Homegrown status need to be consecutive?
Thanks

Just won the FA Cup and I've been stuck on this page for over a minute. Any way to progress (I've tried clicking, pressing enter, pressing the back and forward arrow etc)?

here you go
Thanks for the file. I've put the file in the Properties folder and added the other three files but I can't see overall physical condition/match sharpness as an option when customising my views. Is there anything else I need to do to make it available? Thanks

If you remove the edited properties file, does stuff like this work properly?
I removed the file and now all the things that were missing are back. I guess there was some issue with that file.
Does anyone have an updated properties file they are willing to share with me so I can get condition % to show? Thanks.

For some reason, the Scouting Team Recommendation column on the Recruitment Focus page is also missing when I use the Base Skin
(screenshot from the default skin)
There's definitely something strange going on with my Base Skin. I'll re-download it and try again.

That's strange. I am seeing the condition % but I don't see the column header for it

Have you made alterations to those four files since you posted them in the other thread back in May?
0 -
I don't have "use caching for faster loading" ticked.
In your original reply, you said you did see the issue, right?
0 -
The only thing I did was add those four files and created a "properties" folder because I needed it for the "person properties" file.
When you try the FM24 Base Skin (normal version), what do you see?

When I use the FM24 Base Skin I lose some of the information in the pop-up that appears when creating a recruitment focus. The World Knowledge and Current Focuses columns are missing (see screenshot (original skin on the left, FM24 Base Skin on the right).
Any idea how to get this back? Thanks
Forgot to add, I have added the 4 files mentioned here to the skin, don't know if that could be the reason?

Thanks so much for your help. I changed the colours of a few settings but it turns out it's a lot harder than I thought. Changing the colour of the heart also changed other colours.
I'll just wait until the FM24 base skin is released and then try to get the condition percentages.

Thank you.
Would I need to put the file in the "Football Manager 20XX > skins > {skin name} > settings" folder?

I loaded up the RA
Clicked on "Browse Archive"
Clicked on the "settings" file and clicked load
Screen is blank
I clicked on the blank space and "Extract Selected" became available
I clicked on Extract Selected
It opened the Choose a folder box and I select a folder
Nothing happens (there are no files in that folder)

I loaded the file in the RA but the screen is now blank

Not sure if this is a bug or a change but I'm noticing my Assistant Manager, who leads general training, schedules more three-session days compared to FM23. In FM23 I think the only 3 session days where when you did Match Tactics in the morning, Match Practice in the Afternoon and Recovery in the Evening. In FM24 I'm seeing more of these full days, especially with Routines being trained in the evening. Any one else noticing this?

@snowofman @JustHowie I've been looking at the link,
and I'm not sure what to do with this:
"For the most part if you have been directed to this guide then you should know what file you are after and should have been told which fmf file it is located in, if you aren't sure then check back on the link that sent you here."
You guys both mentioned the Settings file but I can't see that file in the folder, I can only see it in data > game >settings.fmf. Is that the correct one? Thanks

Do you mean the FM23 skin will work or use the FM23 resource archiver?
Thanks

Thanks. I assume I have to wait until the full game is out so I can download the resource archiver?
