@asapas You're using some other file that includes players. Perhaps this: "johnloch FM24 Japan Data Update (v1.0)" The players you mention were later officially added to the game and that's why you get duplicates.

@giantswjw Solved it by deleting 1_japan_removed_clubs.dbc Located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2400 AND C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2430

@fselika How did you fix it? Edit: solved it by deleting 1_japan_removed_clubs.dbc Located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2400 AND C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Football Manager 2024\data\database\db\2430

I'll take a guess it's one of these clubs. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerfest_FK https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta_IF

Hi Rob, amazing work. Thanks! Wanted to let you know I found an error. Your file sets CSKA as latest champions in Bulgaria - it should be Ludogorets. Hopefully an easy fix

Does the file with 48 team format need to be updated or does it work fine as is? Thanks for your work!

Nice work! Looks good

Still not recommended to use your CanChampFix together with Saint's Canada database?

@Don_Sham That's a tricky issue... IRL teams down to tier 9 seem to have U18 squads since most of them take part in the FA Youth Cup. By the info I found 622 U18 teams took part last year. Probably more this year since the number has risen from ~400 in 2015/2016. Unfortunately the FM default database only includes U18 down to tier 6 in the FA Youth Cup. https://www.thefa.com/competitions/fa-youth-cup/results

@Saradiamanta Thanks for spotting this. Here's a guide if anyone else wants to change it in the advanced editor. In the FM24 editor, load Messi's database. On the left side, go to England dropdown menu: England > Competitions > Add There you add FA Youth Cup and U21 Division 4 Cup to the already existing list. Then save, test all rules to re-verify, save again.

Well done! Thanks mate! Gonna give it a spin today

@zeus77 Don't know about your actual question. But my advice in general is to either have a league playable or not at all, no in betweens (view only). The processing speed difference as playable vs. view only is quite small actually. A playable league doesn't process in full detail unless you manually set it to do. Playable will only process some games in higher detail, but for the great majority in low detail, just as view only does.

https://laptoping.com/cpus/product/intel-core-i5-1335u/ Your #1 Laptop is good enough imo. The CPU scores slighly higher than 5700U that I used for FM during more than 1 years time on my laptop. If you have at least 8GB RAM, that is enough. Don't bother about the star rating FM gives - I've had top notch self built desktops through the years and the star rating always drops to half a star when I'm done setting up my database I've also done lots of performance tests - such as comparing speed of View only leagues vs. Playable leagues. Different sizes of databases.

I haven't found any good Italian database yet. So wouldn't mind using OP's to activate lower Italian leagues

I keep checking daily, one more for me. Thanks!
