Also, Julian Ward and David Woodfine have also re-joined Liverpool Liverpool 2.0: Who does what in FSG’s new-look structure? - The Athletic (nytimes.com)

Yeah I've tried that and it doesnt seem to want to validate that the details have been imported - I've checked the Unique ID of the imported person but rather than a non-player it comes back to a Retired person called Clyde Best!

So this has bene triggered by the realisation that Max Ebrel is missing from FM24 as detailed by this kind person: He does exist in the FM23 database with a unique ID of 1623. You can search the FM24 database for him but he doesn't exist Without having to retype all his attributes across, is there a way to copy/paste or export/import just his database entry OR (more preferably) find a way to "unhide" his record?

It feels like its hidden somehow? I've searched on the editor and there isnt anyone else with the same as the unique ID. He's certainly in the 2023 database

I second this. I get that, for example, Man Utd would have less A or B graded players suggested to the manager, however that would then mean there are 100's if not thousands (depending on the number of recruitment focuses etc) that are graded E, D or C. This article from The Athletic - The reality of football scouting in 2023: ‘You do it for love – not money’ - The Athletic - showcases their reporter watching 4 matches with a scout. My assumption is from previous FM versions and logical extrapolation for the FM world, is that the scout would generate a report on ALL the players featured in those matches. So a scout assigned, for example, to The Championship, should be delivering a report on every player they watch in that recruitment focus and assigning that report a grade, be that A through to E against the quality of your club. The purpose of the scouting/recruitment centre is then to filter out the unwanted gradings of players So the scenario would play out like this. I'm Man Utd. I've set a recruitment focus as minimum current ability at the very bottom (1 star youth potential) and minimum 3 star (senior) potential. No age restrictions. Recruitment focus is England. My expectation is that the scout I allocate should be providing me a report of all of those players who meet the criteria (in theory 100's of players) and then assigning them a grade of report against man utd's squad. So I'll still get 100's of reports but mainly B's/C's. The same scenario with the same scout but as (for example) Solihull Moors, would generate the same NUMBER of reports but classed as A or B potential reports. Does that make sense?

Thanks buddy! It was driving me insane and I feel so stupid for not checking the individual rounds now!

I'm attempting to edit the database so that for the Premier League, FA cup and Carabao Cup, the substitution rules are 5 from 12 (max 3 stoppages) Its working fine in the Premier League no issues. I've attempted to replicate this for the cup completions, setting the substitution rules under "Round Defaults" to "5 from 12 in 3 stops" as I have done in the League but for some reason its not activating and still saying its a max of 9 subs Anyone know why? I had it working in FM23 and have copied all the settings across so i'm really stuck
