I am not the researcher for Lausanne, but to answer on behalf of my colleagues, according to Transfermkt he has both Indonesian (which has a large Chinese community) and Togolese nationality, and is commonly known as Chow Damanik (full name Chow-Yun Damanik Kadié), so not sure what needs to be changed. Unless you are the young man himself and are telling us transfermkt is wrong

I didn't - what the OP was referring to was change in coefficients from one season to another (probably misunderstanding how it works IRL)

Sorry for late reply- no, besides being a lot of work I heard this prevents changes in league structure working from one season to another ( as there was between 22/23 & 23/24) FM24 round the corner, I plan to release an updated file for that

I have just encountered this bug and can only echo the sentiments of the first post: If this is the reason (and I suspect it is related- also annoying is cannot change the location of the Sport Interactive folder incidentally) seems a no brainer to enable this?

Yep that's it, just ended up with Swiss coefficient being different between the two games, which determines how many teams qualify for Europe and how may for each of the three competitions. Assuming the coefficient is high enough to get a Europe League place, the Cup winners will get, unless they have already qualified for the Champions League, in which case the highest league team not qualifying for the Champions League gets Europe League instead of Conference League

It sounds like something at your end and shouldn't suddenly change overnight without a version update. Did you install other editor files? they might be confllcting

That's a good shout- have done that and uploaded for the latest 23.4 update (There is a points deduction option in the database, but doesn't seem to apply in game- probably I've got a setting slightly wrong. I might see if I can fix this later but Chiasso should get relegated most of the time anyway as they don't start with any players FIXED) Swiss OFV 23.4 v2.fmf

Maybe if I have time, but problem is one of the teams in the 3rd level has gone bust, so will need to tweak the rules quite a lot to account for one less team

Yeah there is,click on the globe, then Europe and you can see both the nation club coefficients and the qualification places. It will be how many points the nation gets that drives the number of qualification places, though as that has been you the last five seasons it will effectively be Ruggell's performance driving it. You can also check the club coefficients under Europe>Clubs, which look like are used for seedings and share of revenue. In Oct 2026 in my own save in 2 Liga, took me three years to get out the OFV1 (Though was unlucky. First season I scored 105 goals in 26 games and only dropped 10 points, but unfortunately Ruggell only dropped 6. Next season finished joint top with better goal difference but lost out on disciplinary record. Finally went up last year unbeaten 18 points clear) Been poor in the Liechtenstein Cup though, haven't got past the quarters yet, hopefully have a run this year, got a QF home game with league above Eschen/Mauren coming up. Enjoying the challenge though And always interesting to see others doing the same.

That's interesting- no, I haven't seen it in the past but I don't think I played a save long enough to get the co-efficient up enough since about FM20. Must be the co-efficient though, Top 32 countries are supposed to get at least one side in the Europa League and I always thought if Liechtenstein get high enough they should enter that rather than the Conference League, but didn't happen in the past for some reason. Something to aim for in my own Triesen save!

I made a version last year for FM22

I'm pretty sure not, holidayed for 10 years+ before finalizing to check and no issues with my own save so far a season and a half in. But can't rule it out 100%, anyone finds any, don't be shy...

Sure thing (yeah one of the reasons I made it was so II teams get proper fixtures- also find they get jaded as play top many games if in II teams in unplayable leagues)

Only the Liechtenstein U17 players in the additional file. But the Swiss research team have done a good job with the database this year, most 2LR teams have full squads and the OFV teams mostly have at least a few players (apart from the brand new teams I had to create in the database)

Swiss down to level 5 with OFV region extended to level 7. 99% True to Life with high quality detail and rigorous testing. Having made this league extension for years, should be optimized both for realism and gameplay. Intended for a Liechtenstein save/challenge as makes all teams playable, but also can be used for any Swiss lower-league save (with credits below to a couple of excellent files I borrowed some advanced rules from) Activates recently voted for "Scottish system" for Super League from 23 -24 (Not sure if allowed to post links to other sites, but credit to dave on a German-language SI site for sharing his excellent file from which I borrowed the rules) Swiss Cup has 100% correct qualification Swiss Promotion League (level 3) activated with 100% real rules including player eligibility (including U21 teams), season periods, Swiss Cup qualification & realistic finances Swiss First League Classic (level 4) activated with 100% real rules including play-offs, player eligibility (including U21 teams), season periods, Swiss Cup qualification & realistic finances Swiss Second League Regional (level 5) activated with 90% real rules* including best runners-up, season periods & Swiss Cup qualification * This is where it becomes a Liechtenstein database as rather than shrink the 5 divisions to 4 as will happen in real-life (Feno's file built off dave's on the same German language site if you want the accurate structure (though doesn't have Swiss Cup qualification) credit to that other excellent file for helping me understand how to get best runners-up working and dealing with the change in structure), I've kept 5 and only activated relegation to the OFV region below, which is activated to the next 2 levels. This asymmetric database is to make all Liechtenstein teams playable (OFV is the East Swiss region, 1 of 13, to which the LFV teams are affiliated) in a 100% true to life structure (from 23-24) without having to create 100s of teams (and more importantly for gameplay speed, have them using processing time to process results/transfers) OFV Regional 2 & 3 (6th & 7th tiers) with 100% real teams and 99% real rules* including promotion/relegation, regional championship, season periods & Swiss Cup qualification tournaments * Exception is the first season when the top 3 of each league get promoted to allow for league restructuring from 23-24 Regional U18 divisions set up (so all playable teams have U18 matches) Extra file with additional real Liechtenstein Under-17 squad players (too young to set up in the official database until next season- this should provide enough players to make the Liechtenstein Under 19 national team manageable) Background to the Liechtenstein teams: Vaduz The dominant Liechtenstein Club, perennial Cup winners (a record 48 times) and the only to have played in the Swiss top-flight (or indeed the top two tiers) as well as being the only professional outfit. Currently in the Challenge League (2nd level) and this season qualified for the Group Stage of European competition for the first time in the Conference League, where they were competitive despite bowing out with only 2 points. Squad is mostly foreign with 4 or 5 Liechtenstein players in the first-team squad, but with Vaduz representing all of Liechtenstein in the U18s, many of the Liechtenstein youth-players are attached. Vaduz 2 also play in the OFV 2 League (6th level). Play at the national stadium USV Eschen/Mauren Semi-professional The second-best team in recent years, the last team to wrest the Cup from Vaduz in 2012, though only fourth in the all-time list with 5 titles in total. Currently in the First League Classic (4th tier) and have never played higher than this though have made the promotion play-offs a couple of time. USV 2 also play in the OFV 3 League (7th level) Stadium is used for the U-21 national team Balzers Semi-professional Historically the second most successful with 11 Cups, but last in 1997. Currently in the 2 Liga Interregional (5th level) having been relegated last season. Never played higher than the First League Classic. Balzers 2 also play in the OFV 3 League (7th level) Ruggell Amateur. Never won the Cup, though reached the final 7 times Currently in the OFV 3 League (7th level) having been relegated last season (though were top of the 6th level just two years before when the season was curtailed by the pandemic) Have the best training facilities as national team facilities are based in Ruggell. Schaan Amateur. Won the Cup 3 teams, last in 1994 Currently in the OFV 3 League (7th level), and spent a single season in the 2 Liga Regional ten years ago, before plummeting as low as the 8th level Triesenberg Amateur. Never won the Cup, reaching the final for the first and only time so far in 2015. Currently in the OFV 3 League (7th level) Triesen Amateur. If there's such a thing as a sleeping giant in Liechtenstein, it's Triesen who dominated the early years of the Cup in the last century. Still third in the all-time list with 8 titles, though none since 1975 (which was the last-time they reached the final) Currently in the OFV 3 League (7th level) LIEC U17 NAT players.fmf Swiss OFV.fmf
