I was surprised that nobody made a thread for Newcastle this year, so I thought I'd go ahead of do it myself. I would like to point out that I'm not a Newcastle United supporter, so I have had to look at the previous years thread for inspiration, but I do love the project which is why I'm starting a save with them! I will edit this post later with more in depth transfer ideas, potential staff and whatever else we may come up with that could help people. I hope you guys join me in the journey!

Newcastle United F.C. Newcastle United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Newcastle Upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear. The club competes in the Premier League, the highest level of the English football league system. The club was founded in 1892 by the merger of Newcastle East End and Newcastle West End. The team play their home matches at St James' Park in the Centre of Newcastle, which has a capacity of 52,404. The club has been a member of the Premier League for all but three years of the competition's history, spending 90 seasons in the top flight as of May 2022, and has never dropped below English football's second tier since joining the Football League in 1893. Newcastle have won four League titles, six FA Cups and a FA Charity Shield, as well as the 1968–69 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, the ninth-highest total of trophies won by an English club. The club's most successful period was between 1904 and 1910, when they won an FA Cup and three of their League titles. Their last major trophy was in 1955. More recently the club have been League or FA Cup runners-up on four occasions in the 1990s. Newcastle was relegated in 2009, and again in 2016. The club won promotion at the first time of asking each time, returning to the Premier League, as Championship winners, in 2010 and 2017. The club was owned by Mike Ashley from 2007 until 2021, who succeeded long-term chairman Sir John Hall. The club is the 17th-highest revenue producing club in the world in terms of annual revenue, generating €169.3 million in 2015. Newcastle's highest placing was in 1999, when they were the fifth-highest revenue producing football club in the world, and second in England only behind Manchester United. On 7 October 2021, the club was bought for £300 million by a consortium led by the Saudi Arabian government's sovereign wealth fund. The purchase made Newcastle the richest club in the Premier League. Since this point Newcastle United have gone from strength to strength and have gone from relegation candidates last season, to top 4 challengers, whilst also reaching the Carabao Cup Final. Stadium: St. James' Park Capacity: 52,404 Training Facilities: Average Youth Facilities: Average Junior Coaching: Adequate Youth Recruitment: Above Average Finances: Rich Overall Balance: £151m Transfer Budget: £40m Wage Budget: £2.85m Available Wage Budget: £550k The Squad The potential for Newcastle United is huge, but can you harness that potential and really take them places? It won't be easy, because since when was the Premier League ever easy?

Major progress is being made for the legends of 2010 - 2022 era, although I still have loads to do as of yet, before moving onto the 2000 - 2009 era. I'm hoping that this will appeal to a wider range of people than just those who want the R9's, the Ronaldinho's, the David Beckham's etc... As you will notice from the list I have done so far, I am adding in players who aren't just world class, but legends in their own right. If you want any particular legend of the club you support added to the game for the 2010-2022 era, please let me know and I will be sure to add them Franck Ribery Carlos Tevez Aleksandar Kolarov Thomas Vermaelen Gary Cahill Ramires Laurent Koscielny John Obi Mikel Blaise Matuidi Arda Turan Arjen Robben Wayne Rooney Sergio Aguero Sami Khedira Antonio Valencia Nicklas Bendtner Demba Ba Sven Bender Vedran Corluka Lars Bender Vincent Kompany Mario Gomez Leighton Baines Aritz Aduriz Andre Schurrle Iker Casillas Stephan Lichsteiner Javier Mascherano Daniele De Rossi Alexandr Hleb David Villa Lucio Milan Baros Petr Cech Glen Johnson Andrea Barzagli Ashley Cole Xavi Wesley Sneijder Samuel Eto'o Robin Van Persie Peter Crouch Fernando Torres Patrice Evra Bastian Schweinsteiger Diego Forlan Ronaldinho Didier Drogba Michael Carrick Thiago Motta Julio Cesar John Terry Rafael Van Der Vaart Per Mertesacker Andrey Arshavin Victor Valdes Robbie Keane Kaka Andrea Pirlo Francesco Totti Philipp Lahm Xabi Alonso Frank Lampard Dirk Kuyt Martin Demichelis Alvaro Arbeloa Christian Abbiati Andoni Iraola Nemanja Vidic Carlos Marchena Walter Samuel Mikel Arteta Steven Gerard Juan Carlos Valeron Luca Toni Rivaldo Miroslav Klose Raul Juan Roman Riquelme Rio Ferdinand Rogerio Ceni Djibril Cisse Kevin Davies Damien Duff Marcell Jansen Harry Kewell Juninho Pernambucano Javier Zanetti Brett Emerton Ryan Giggs Carles Puyol Craig Bellamy Wayne Bridge Park Ji-Sung Ali Karimi Nuno Gomes William Gallas Thierry Henry Eric Abidal Steve Harper Ledley King Jamie Carragher Paulo Ferreira Mark Van Bommel David Beckham Paul Scholes Louis Saha Michael Owen Alessandro Nesta

Best of luck, I hope you can pull it off because it sounds pretty interesting.

I was going to say, that is the most likely way of doing it using the text editor, you can do a lot of weird and wonderful things with that compared with the actual editor.

The Present & Future part of the database has been completed! I have also spent a little time on creating a CM/FM legends database to go along with this, in the same format. I'm going to 'post it here' initially to see if anyone can spot any problems or has any suggestions on players to add. My focus will now be on the past. I'm thinking I might do it in era's and probably once I've done the 1980's and above I will upload what I've got so that people can start playing, whilst I continue to work my way down to the 1900's! If anyone has any ideas they wish to share, don't hesitate, all ideas are welcome. Just as a little preview on the CM/FM Legends, here is the only man to receive the 200pa, exactly what he was given back in the day! Here is the full list of players so far for the CM/FM Legends Remember you will need to load to relevant Nations in order to get hold of these players.

Making good progress and now working on editing the older players in the database. In around 3 weeks time progress will be accelerated as I have a week off work and nothing to do

Just a little update, I have made some really good progression over the past 24 hours and I'm now up to around 17,000 database changes. I had to go back over all the players I'd already done and remove their International Caps and some other changes, which I have now completed and I am now on with players aged between 22 and 27, so the likes of Bruno Fernandes, Luis Diaz, Marcus Rashford, Youri Tielemans and so on. I have opted to go with a Potential Ability Range for the players from present and future, which should add some diverse saves should anyone wish to use the database, with the exception of players such as Haaland, Mbappe, Ronaldo and Messi who are such high potential already that making it diverse wouldn't make sense. I think for the players with around 160 - 180 potential ability, it will make things a lot more interesting in game. If you do wish to see a particular player image from in-game, let me know, however here are some pictures from the editor to give you some idea of the players in those Potential Ability Ranges...

You are correct I think, having just looked on his wiki, I just pulled a name out of my head earlier and searched it on google quickly, don't know why it said Barcelona. However, you get the general idea, I won't be looking to place players in the clubs they were most famous for.

Players Past, Present & Future for FM23 I am undertaking a massive project at the moment which will take some time, with my aim to bring a Past, Present & Future database to the FM community, something a little different to the usual legends databases. I have also already created an FM/CM legends database which you will be able to use alongside the PPF database. Below is a list of the FM/CM Legends and if you have any suggestions for players to add to it, let me know in this thread, I will be sure to add them in. This won't be a database where every player is in their prime, players ages will be determined by their current age in real life and I have a set of brackets that their ages will fall into. Also for the younger players in the database, I will be giving them a potential ability between -9, -9.5 and -10, which should make things a bit more interesting. Also, alongside their age, they will be playing for the club that they were at based on their age, for example Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be 18/19, so will probably be playing for Malmo. Eusebio will have been around 23 year old, so he will be playing for Benfica. The Present & Future database has been fully completed along with the CM/FM legends (just awaiting requests for more players). I am now currently working on the Past databases and these will be made into Era's. Currently I am working on the 2010 - 2022 era, working my way backwards in time. Below is the current list of players that I've created... If anyone has any requests on players they would like to be added, please don't hesitate to ask!

That may be an issue with your computer/laptop then I would assume, in that case you're probably better off asking someone to do it for you, or like you suggested do 1 at a time. I think he wants to wipe the entire database.

You don't have to do 1000 at a time, you can change the settings on that to 5000, 10000 or even unlimited. It's under the settings tab and then 'Maximum Records For Search'.
