Football Manager 2024 Data Updates - FM24 to FM25 DLC
With the launch of FM25 delayed until March 2025, the FM24 lifecycle will naturally get extended for a few more months.

Every year we have several unofficial addons that one could combine in order to make the FM database feel close to the upcoming official one.

However, there wasn't enough time to justify putting together such a bundle because we'd normally get access to the new game in a matter of 6 weeks or so (between the summer transfer window closing and the early access of FM starting).

This time is different as we are forced to wait several more months until we get our hands on FM 25.

We asked the community and the majority (more than 50%) voted for a DLC for FM24 with updated squads. A lot of them are even willing to pay for such a DLC if Sports Interactive would release one.

So the sentiment was "let's do our own FM25 and make that DLC for FM24"!

We reached an agreement with TheNotoriousPr0 and SirTAVARES to bundle together a mix of their files, alongside the best transfer update that is FMTU.

As a result, we proudly present to you the FM24 to FM25 DLC which is a collection of data files that will bring your next FM24 save as close as possible to the official FM25 database.

In a nutshell, that means you will get almost everything ready for the 2024/25 season, including updated squads, promotions / relegations, league format changes, new wonderkids, as well as player ability changes.

Updated: 7 February 2025 (v7.5)


What's included in the FM24 to FM25 DLC


Transfer Update by FMTransferUpdate.com

Hands down the best transfer update in the Football Manager scene. All data edits are 100% clean and accurate. No empty, no duplicate, no unnecessary changes.

Published:
February 7th
Total Changes:
155,581
People Updated:
69,038
You can get real-time repacks of this data update on demand as a premium member on FMTU and support the project at the same time.

Promotions, Relegations & Updated EU Places

Clubs will be competing in the correct league for the 2024/25 season. It covers all the top European leagues and then some. You will find several files instead of just one because the FM24 pre-game editor doesn't allow merging files in case there are also competition changes involved.
All files by TheNotoriousPr0 except 1 by SirTAVARES (Brazil).

Competition Changes by TheNotoriousPr0

There are 3 files solely with comp changes and 9 others combined with promotions and relegations. Sadly there seems to be a pre-game editor limitation that makes it impossible to re-create the new format of EU competitions 100% correctly.

New Wonderkids by SirTAVARES

This file contains a total of 175 new U21 players on high potential ability. That essentially means new wonderkids.
There's a version that includes more players (on lesser PA) as well as new staff available on SirTAVARES' patreon.

Ability Changes by SirTAVARES

Current Ability (CA) and Potential Ability (PA) changes have been applied to numerous players who already exist in the FM24 database. These changes should reflect the players' real life performance during the 2023/24 season.

Optional Files

No Injuries & No Suspensions at Start by SirTAVARES

Begin your managerial journey with a clean slate and a fully fit squad, eliminating the initial hurdles of player injuries and suspensions which applied at the start of the 2023/24 season but no longer do a year later.

+1 Ages, -1 Contract Expiry Dates by FMTU

A custom start date a year later wasn't a great option for us because all the key data files in this DLC wouldn't have the intended effect. So we opted for the next best thing. Make people 1 year older and their contracts expiring 1 year sooner.
There's 1 file for each 'action'. It's up to you, should you wish to use these or not. We reckon using them makes things more akin to real life.


Credits


At this point, I would like to thank TheNotoriousPr0 and SirTAVARES for making this kick-start pack of the 2024/25 season possible. You can find their original data packs linked below.

FM24 Transfers & Data Update
The best Football Manager 2024 transfer update all-around. Created by pr0 & FMTU.


FM2024 Data Tweaks by SirTavares
Corrected details for players/teams, added missing players/staff. Does NOT include transfer updates.



Installation Instructions


In a nutshell:
This DLC contains 20 .fmf files that need to be placed in your "editor data" folder. Then you must start a new FM24 save, ensuring all files are selected from the database drop down menu at the top.

IMPORTANT:
  • A total of 20 files are included in this pack and you can use them all at once if you want to.
  • Using other addons which alter the same data might corrupt your game due to conflicting files.
  • For example, league expansion addons should be safe to combine.
UPDATING: Replace all existing files from an older pack in your "editor data" folder with those included in the newest version. Then start a new save.


Step by Step
  1. Extract the contents of the pack you downloaded from here to your editor data folder.
    Windows:
    \Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2024\editor data\
    Mac:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data
    The location of the "editor data" folder should be the same on Steam, Epic and Gamepass. If for some reason you can't find it there, go to the Preferences screen in-game and type the word location in the search field at the top. You will see the folder there and change it if you prefer.

  2. Fire up FM24, pick START A NEW GAME, then select CAREER mode.

  3. On the CAREER GAME SETUP window, hit the DATABASE drop down menu and ensure you are on the 24.3.0 Update and all 19 files of this DLC have a check mark next to them. As explained above, there are 4 optional files you may choose to not enable.

  4. Hit the Choose Game Mode > button, select ORIGINAL, then hit the Advanced Setup button.

  5. You're almost there. You might need to wait a bit until the next screen loads up. Once it does, select the leagues you wish to load and set any custom database size options you prefer. And finally hit the Start Game button.


Addons to Safely Combine


As a general thumb of thumb, any addon that's potentially altering the same data as the files included in this DLC might cause conflict and corrupt your save.

Having said that, addons such as league expansions or graphic packs of any kind can be safely combined.
You will find a few recommended addons below.

FM24 Real Names License Fix
Fix fake name of competitions, clubs and awards with their real names in Football Manager 2024.


FM24 Leagues Mega Pack by @Timo@
Expand the playable leagues and manage teams in new nations.


FM24 Trophies Megapack
More than 1230 real trophies to add in Football Manager 2024.


Nik33's FM24 Agents Pack
Adds about 1,025 real life agents and their connections to over 13,000 players / clients.


I'd also like to recommend a couple of files that you can find in Daveincid's Increase Realism Megapack. More specifically:
  • CLUB DATA FIX
  • CLUB FINANCES FIX 24/25 Version
  • CLUB REPUTATION FIX 24/25 Season File
FM24 Increase Realism Megapack
This megapack improves various in-game parameters in over 220 nations.

Just remember to avoid the ones that might conflict with this DLC, such as CA/PA ADJUSTMENTS + NEW WONDERKIDS & OTHERS, PLAYER SALARY FIX, STAFF SALARY FIX and NEW PLAYERS.

    In the next update, will it be possible to register players who transferred in the winter but occupy the slot of non-EU players in the first season in Serie A? I tried to make the transfer of Walker and Gimenez through the editor, but they cannot be registered
  • downlow85's avatar
    Thanks for this guys. I have one issue/question.
    When I use the - 1 contract expiry dates it overrides all the contract changes made by pr0 on his transfer updates so there are a lot of players who are out of contract that shouldn't be as they have extended or signed new contracts.
    Is there a way to rectify this?
  • Stam's avatar
    @ArdaSmiles: The next and possibly final update is scheduled for February 15th.

    @For people on Mac: There's a specific button/spoiler with detailed steps if you're unable to find the files in-game. Please find the button and read the instructions.

  • Mattias Hall's avatar
    Hi,

    May I suggest that instead only removing a year on every players contract length, that you also edit the year of all contracts actually signed in 2023. That would change the ability to sign a player that moved last year (that in the updated version now has played a full year for their club). Right now, all those players aren't inclined to move since they've “just joined their club”.

  • gee_simpson's avatar
    Will the update be tonight or tomorrow? Also, what will it include, just updated transfers? Because I'm planning on starting tonight, so if it's just transfers I can get them from FMTU or Sortitoutsi.
  • junior_kensh's avatar
    is it also possible to start the game in 2025? with the current league standings?
