v3 - No more international friendlies (check section 7) installation) / European leagues work better
The Tower of Icarus introduces a fully redesigned competitive structure to Football Manager: a European Super League set in Gibraltar, featuring 128 clubs divided into multiple tiers and competing through a Swiss-style progression system inspired by esports and chess tournaments.
Domestic football still exists — but glory is decided here, where standings shift constantly and every opponent is as dangerous as the last.No easy games. No predictable seasons. Only performance.
Will you climb toward the sun… or fall like Icarus?

I need a new save and will have to try this one out
maybe later
one match in the week is really insufficient
Can you make the champions league from all the teams in div 1 and 2,
Europa League from all the teams in div 3 and 4,
Conf league from all the teams in div 5 and 6
in this way we can play more than one comp

you need to tell me yoru club and division.
The prices have nothing to do with the database but you can send exemples.
its a hard issue to solve....
every time you get the message try to remove your players from international duty
i had to replace teams manually , so sometimes i just put random teams that will fall over the years.
i had to make choices, ihave nothing againts the clubs not in the database
Thanks for the feedback
i will look into it this weekend.
No problem mate, enjoy
so after 4 seasons same problem. few clubs from 6 / 7 / 8 th division in Conference League but not from 1st from 5-6 place. Still 31 clubs in Conference League so they cant finish it. Some clubs from lower divisions in UCL UEL and playing domestic Cups.
At all this is wonderful pack, but with this common issues... must be fixed somehow
- some clubs still playing in domestic Cups (e.g. PSG in French Cup)
- there is no club from 1st division from 5 and 6 place in Conference League, they are missing and CL cant be finished.
- Some clubs, e.g. Sporting Lisboa playing in Champions League, even if it is in 2nd Icarus division
- in Conference League there is only 31 of 32 clubs in League Phase - season 2. so they cant finish it.
The update is great. I'm looking forward to testing it.
