Hello all,
We’ve been silent but we’ve not been idle. For some time now, Wally, one of our main “coders”, started a journey for his personal benefit. To have a FM24 database update that could mimic the official FM26 database.
This was a long and arduous process. And this DB update will not please everyone. Unfortunately there’s so much free time available so players shouldn’t expect updates to leagues and players in the far corners of the world.
And we also add new wonder kids to FM24! To download our two DB mods which should be used together, here’s the link for each one:
DB update – link here.
New wonderkids for FM24 – link here.
In terms of how to install and for a preview of what to expect, please check our YouTube video, link here.
THE CHANGES
For starters and in this first release we have the following:
England – Premier League until League One
Portugal – First Division
Spain – La Liga
France – Ligue 1
Italy – Serie A
Germany – Bundesliga
Belgium – First Division
Turkey – First Division
Netherlands – Eredivisie
Brazil – First Division
Argentina – First Division
USA – MLS
Europe – top rated players outside of the leagues mentioned above and individual clubs like Bodo/Glimt and many more
We also changed reputations across the board and this means updating the reputations of nations, clubs and top leagues. We also updated stats related with Chairman’s (making them less or more patient, depending on their real life performance) and we also updated a large number of Director’s of Football.
Besides this, we made sure that future player and manager movements already confirmed in real life will happen at the end of your first season.
One of the main questions we know players will have concerns compatibility with other FM24 DB mods and right now we confirm full compatibility with the following ones:
Daveincid’s realism mod (last release for FM24, October 2025, link here)
FM24 Transfers & Data Update Packs by TheNotoriousPr0 + FMTU (last release for FM24, link here)
MasterIgor’s league updates (each player needs to make sure they only select the leagues not included in the PrO’s mod, and during the configuration of the save ensure there’s no issues of compatibility, link here)
Sortitousi 2+age years and contracts file.
FM24 2025-26 Real Fixture & Results (Start in 2025, April Update), link here. When using this mod, you will see contracts like Salah and Bernardo Silva already expired. This kind of situations are an unfortunate compromise, but this only affects expiring contracts (in real life at the end of the current season, 25/26), the rest of the database update applies with no issues.
To help you visualise, find below the images of Wally’s editor data folder. If you use exactly what he uses, you will have no issues:
Regarding the sortitousi file, 2+ age and contracts, it is massively recommended that each player adds that file.
We have plans for monthly updates where we will expand the database to more leagues and countries.
And of course, this database mod pairs perfectly with our match engine mod and training mod that you can download from our website for the full FM Match Lab realism experience (when using our match engine mod and training mod, it is highly recommended that you use Daveincid’s realism mod for even more realism).
That’s it for today.
We hope you enjoy Wally’s work and if you need help you can find the dedicated channel in our server, under the category of channels “FM24 FMML” and the name of the channel is “fn24-database-update”. You can find the link to join our Discord in our website.
Cheers,
The FM Match Lab team
