You can manage a club 20 leagues down the English football pyramid. By the time you reach Premier League (assuming you can win consecutive promotions every year), most of the real players you know would likely be retired and you'd be playing in a fantastic football world filled with newgens.
This England Level 20 database for FM23 includes real structure and rules, as well as all the cups.
It's finally complete down to level 20. A Gargantuan task that took 10 months of hard work!

How to unlock England Level 20 in FM 2023
- Move the downloaded E23 - England to Level 20.fmf file to:
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2023\editor data\
Create folder "editor data" if it doesn't exist already.
- Open Football Manager 2023 and start a new career, In the top right of the screen, under "Database", make sure this file is selected.
- It's highly recommended to disable "Do not Add Key Staff" and enable "Add Players to Playable Teams" in advanced options, otherwise the vast majority of teams will have greyed out players. Please note that this slows down the game speed and if left unticked the game runs faster, however there are fewer players to pick from in-game.
- It's also recommended to load all players from England using the Advanced... Database Size options.
Known Issues
Due to a bug within the pre-game editor, this file cannot be verified in Advanced Rules, because of this all regional play-offs will be played at neutral stadiums rather than home stadiums.Despite his best efforts there will be some strange club movements into leagues not in their region, unfortunately the game itself isn't clever enough to stop this.

I fixed it for myself by simply going to the editor, renaming the competition and saving the editor data. Wanted to let you know this if you'd like to update the file.
Great job Dan. "Félicitations" from Belgium.
