FM24 Club World Cup schedule change (preseason fitness)

Moves the summer Club World Cup from 2025 up four weeks to avoid the preseason fitness issue that has plagued it in recent editions of FM

The Club World Cup is STILL host to all kinds of preseason fitness issues, so we can only guess that for the devs to fix whatever coding results in being unable to field a competitive team would have too many knock-on effects with other preseason stuff and we're just limping into FM25 with a broken CWC to start fresh with the new game engine next year. As a result, the best we can do is move the whole thing up by four weeks - unrealistic, yes, but so is fielding a team of 4 players because the rest of your team are on holiday!

This takes the existing summer tournament scheduled for 2025 and makes it finish 4 weeks later with the final on Community Shield weekend (which should get bumped if you're in both). I'm not sure how the default version grabs the 5th-12th European teams (IRL it's a 4-year ranking), I've gone with the 8-year club coefficient you can sort by in the editor. Also updated the prize money.

If anyone has noticed any other issues with the CWC so far let me know, this will have the same problems as the default version but we can fix it here (working on making the US host 2025 every time).

EDIT: this issue may have been sorted with the April official update, so you may not need this anymore

    Hi @themodelcitizen, can you check my message for you, please! Thank you!

    That makes sense, does the Leagues Cup catch up over time? Sorry, just saw this... I might consider making the MLS/MX teams in the CWC skip the Leagues Cup that year, but I'm not sure we even need this file anymore as the preseason fitness issue might have been fixed in one of the official updates

    I have tested it and it works fine except for a fixture congestion issue with MLS teams playing Leagues Cup Group Stage:

    There's a setting in fixture rules where you can tell it to take priority over other competitions, I'll add them. Thanks. I hadn't noticed any clashes but it's worth it in case those get bumped into this same time period. Asia should be OK as I don't think the qualifiers start til mid-to-late August but I'll include it anyway

    This is a very good idea. I did it in last year's version and warn you though: you should also move several fixtures in contintental competitions for asian and, specially, south american teams (Copa Libertadores/Sudamericana) in order to not conflict with the late CWC.

    Cheers.
