You would need to edit each European League separately! It can be done with different editor files though!

Not sure this can be done using the In-game format because you can't promote teams from one country in to a league from a different country. You could move the Northern Ireland Prem in to the English Structure as a Third Division at the Vanarama Regional division level but they would lose the rights ro enter Europe from that division and each team would need to have english nation set. You might be able to trick the game into thinking that the division is still Irish somehow but you could eventually end up with a division that is really small if loads of teams get promoted!

Off the top of my head it can be done by essentially copying the existing world cup, creating a new competition in the database for the main cup and the qualifiers and then changing the rules so that only over 35s can be registered!

@Wolf_pd @rusty217 I have a similar problem to the issue in FM2023 where competitions are not generating records again. I have used the workaround like last season, and although it works fine with leagues, it doesn't appear to work on cup competitions. Has anyone else noticed this issue and if they have, how has it been resolved?

I'm looking to find a way to stop a team qualifying for promotion, that finishes outside the promotion positions when an ineligible team finishes inside the promotion places but is ineligible for promotion. I hope that makes sense. What usually happens is that if a reserve team finiahes first then the runner up goes up, however what I want is for promotion to stop altogether in these cases! Feel free to ask any further questions, I've just never had any luck of reproducing this within the game! Thanks in advance

@themodelcitizen Good work with the file. I have added my World Cup Fix to this file (obviously not published) and this works ok together. I was just wondering if you were still looking at the new Nations League format? I think i'm going to leave it alone to be honest as getting the playoff to work was challenging enough without messing about with a different competition. The way that SI have portrayed the North American structure is poor really. Hopefully they will improve on this in the coming years, Thanks for your efforts with these files

Hi, you would basically need to create your own competition. Qualification from European Leagues to the UEFA competitions is pretty much hardcoded so you would struggle. There is a guy who designs his own continental competitions "UEFA Revival" (Google it) and he may have done something like you've suggested.

The first thing i did (ages ago) was change the format of the playoffs so that 4 teams qualify rather than just 3. I then moved the dates around so that the GC setup after the playoff was arranged, which didn't work. I've tinkered about with it, and I've changed the way the GC picked the qualifying teams, so that it only looked at Nations League and Playoff and not the registered teams. I also noticed that in "other stage rules" an option was selected to make teams from stage 1 of GC qualify for the next GC... that was wrong. Since i've done that it appears to work fine and i have great pleasure in sharing the steam link with you below. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2996674702 Please note that the file also includes a World Cup Fix (12 groups of 4 instead of 16 groups of 3!) although i'm still trying to work out how to replicate the normal tournament style (Winner of Group A plays Runner Up of Group B, etc) so if you have any ideas on this i'd be grateful.

I have tested a fix up to 2027 for the CONCACAF Gold Cup... i worked on it ages ago to no avail, but I've made a few changes today and it looks like I've got it to work as it should. I'm going to run a test overnight to make sure that it is working properly and if it does, I'm going to stick it on steam.

It's a right mess of a file isn't it! If i ever manage to fix it, i'll let you know!

Hi, i'm interested to find out if you managed to fix the gold cup issues? It's proving quite a stubborn thing to sort it!

That's a brilliant piece of advice, thank you so much. This trick doesn't seem to work for the youth/reserve leagues but seems to work for 1st team competitions. It's very frustrating how buggy the game is at the moment. SI really need to sort it out!

To get around this issue you would create two versions of the league. Version one would be a default, however version two would need to have requirements to only run if there are 7 Automatic European places. I'm assuming you can set rules where it excludes teams already qualified, however a euro places playoff is quite complicated to duplicate!

Hi all. I don't think i've ever come across this before but in my custom Welsh League database (down to Level 8), new competitions are not generating records during the game (see picture of Aberdare League). Competitions that are already within the game (see picture of Swansea League) have their records generated automatically. I've tried to copy a league that generates the records within the advanced rules, and i've also tried to add a history record to a competition that doesn't generate a record, but neither have resulted in a fix for this problem. It's a very minor detail, granted, but i'd like to come up with a solution to try and avoid this in future versions.

In real life, these division levels don't have teams in the FA Cup. If you were to intoduce teams from these levels you would need to start the competition a lot earlier than the start of a season,

There are occasions where the game compensates for competitions or teams with the same UID's but obviously not on this occasion. I'm really frustrated with the Editor this year, and the game in general. There are lots of broken competitions, that you just can't fix! I've spent hours and days doing things to try and make my game experience better but i've got to the point now where i just want to play a game!

Thanks for your comments. Can anyone enlighten me as to what the clash is between my Welsh League file and the other databases please?

I thought i'd fixed the problem myself, but after a little more testing, it appears it's still not working properly. At first i thought there was an issue with the number of teams in the playoffs, but now i'm really not sure. Please can you fix this in future releases?

Update: The problem i have encountered is around the actual in-game competition and not the league rules I've set up myself. I'll update this page when i've fully tested everything.

I'm trying to make a real life competition which has 4 stages (different competitions) and at the end all of the results from these stages are combined to make one league table, very similar to that of the USA. At the moment, I can get all four stages to run correctly, but I cannot workout how to get the combined league table to show up in game. I've tried using sub-leagues but that hasn't worked. I've tried the "stage results in to other stage" option, but this doesn't work. I've even tried setting up each stage as a separate competition but that hasn't worked either, Is anyone able to assist with this?

Hi, have you tried using valid draw rules? If you go to the first cup stage, and click on rounds, and then under each valid round click the option Keep "Teams From Same Previous Group Apart" and do this for each round apart from the 3rd placed playoff and final. I'm trying for my version of a 48 team World Cup, and i'm confident it works... the only issue I have is that, like you, i can't work out the cup-tie mapping to keep this fixed, but at least there is an element of realism by using the option.

Hi all, how would you go about inserting the extra teams using the "cup tie mapping" rules? really stuck on this one!

I have amended the World Cup (from 2026) to start with 12 groups of 4, moving to a round of 32. Obviously the top two automatically qualify, but the best 8 3rd place teams qualify as well. The file runs perfectly, except for the fact that the cup tie mapping doesn't work as i have asked it too. I've added the group winners and runners up in "Tie mappings from previous stage" area and i've tried to set the ties in cup tie mapping section to replicate what usually happens, however i have left 8 spaces free for those teams that qualify in 3rd Place (don't know if this is right). It seems to work to an extent when you test it (not perfectly, but when i've run an in-game test the each group basically plays each other, and the matching in the latter rounds is off as well. I've attached the file in the hope someone can assist me. I don't think i'm a million miles away with this either which is very frustrating. World Cup Alteration9.fmf
