Football Manager 2024 League Updates - England - 11 Player Bench & NO Work Permits
Work permit rules have been removed from England. Bench size increased from 9 to 11 players. Read below for the competitions affected. I didn't change bench size rules for Vanarama and below, but if anyone asks for it I might.

I had a Serie A save on FM23 for the first time and really liked having a large bench. This was partially because I save my team into two elevens, and this allows me to have my teamsheets setup with another eleven on the bench. Normally I do 3 defenders, 3 midfielders, and 3 attackers. I wanted to bring that to the Premier League, so I increased the bench to 11 players. The substitution rules are "5 from 11 in 3 stops" with "+1 ET" selected if it was included in the default rule. The Community Shield's default substitution rule is "6 from 9," so I set it to "6 from 11." I like this the most, but if others don't like it then I'm willing to update it.


I applied this to the Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two, FA Cup, Carabao Cup, EFL Trophy, and Community Shield. If there are any issues or anything you want me to add, let me know.

UPDATED 11 December 2023 – Fixed FA Cup rules, should be good now. Sorry about that

UPDATED 22 March 2024 -- Sorry for the wait, I had to remake the file and just haven't been motivated. I'm also posting this right after making it so I haven't played with it yet, but I did make a save and all the substitution rules for each stage of every competition I changed are correct. So it SHOULD be fine, but let me know if not

Reuploaded again to fix the EFL Trophy

    Does the removal of work permit rules also include EU registeration rules, or does that still exist. (for example can i sign EU players before they are 18 or do I still have to wait)

    Unfortunatly this doesnt seem to remove work permits, though the bench expansion is there.
