    Also made a change to the coding in the attached file to clean up the scouting screens and re-organized the info shown in the pull downs, see screenshots: Copy this file in your panels\person folder: person search player views.xml

    I updated the Champions League 2023 skin with many of the updates I made on the 2024 version of the skin. When I played around with a game in the updated skin I encountered the image below in my inbox. The 2023 version will still not work properly in FM24 as some coding was actually changed so it's only to have a more updated version for FM23. When you encounter the same inbox screen as below, please replace the file in the "news_item_panels" folder with the attached file (see "before" and "after" screenshots). The coding for this file in FM24 is similar to FM23 so the same solution is needed. Screenshots are from FM23 but the result when fixing should be the same: Before: After: fmt scout report news panel.xml

    I updated the skin for FM2023 to include many of the updates I made to animations, screens etc. to match the FM2024 skin as much as possible. This doesn't mean the skin can be used in FM24 as some coding has changed, but it will look a lot like the skin for FM24. The password is the same as for version 1.2 of the skin.

    The 4-2-3-1 tactic is one of the most efficient tactics in FM24 (in FM23 I meanly used 4-3-3). For FM24 I used two base tactics, one with an attack minded setup and one to “close the door” to see the result out in the last 5-10 minutes of the game when needed. No OI’s used. NO transfers in/out, so used the budget (almost no funds available) to keep the selection together, lowest spending in the whole league on transfers. In the January 2024 transfer window, I lost a very good player (Joao Mario) to Manchester City, no option to keep him and replaced him with a young signing (Sebastian Boselli 20, River Plate), who is promising but not of the same calibre, so we played the second part of the season with a slightly weakened squad. Lost traction as a result as many players were unhappy with Joao Mario leaving and several players asked for improved contracts and no funds available, this led to a drop in morale which is so vital to performances. Despite all of this I managed to win the Portuguese League (only 1 loss away to Benfica, 0-1), drew 5 matches against weaker opponents due to needed squad rotation and lower morale (unhappy players). Won the Portuguese Super cup, both domestic cups and the Champions League (3-0 win in final). Eliminated PSG in semi-finals aggregate 4-1, while RB Leipzig eliminated Man City aggregate 2-1. The main tactic (Attacking) uses underlaps (very efficient when using IF/IW), high intensity tactic with “NO hard tackles” instructions in PI and no “get stuck in” team instruction. There may be a slight advantage to use these settings but given the increased yellow/red cards, injuries, suspensions I decided to “play nice” and only used that for the Defensive tactic where you want to frustrate the opponent and see out the game. The defensive tactic aims also to play with a MID block and slightly higher defensive line to limit space and slightly more direct (less shorter passing) than the attacking variant. Second highest in possession in the league, but that was not the focus for the tactics, highest in shots on goals and fewest shots against. A very solid tactic, not to keep “clean sheets” but more to “outscore the opponent”. PORTO FM24 ATT 4-2-3-1.fmf PORTO FM24 DEF 4-2-3-1.fmf

    Today I will be releasing a very minor update (full) version of the skin. Some bug fixes (as posted before) and some minor improvements. As there were graphics, fonts and other files involved I decided to repack the skin in a new version rather than creating a "complicated update process". I will send out the new version with new encryption password out today to everyone. I added a file "cl2024.skc" in the download. This is the cached file of the full skin. If you have (or had) any graphical issues, might have been caching issues, this might help. Make sure you tick "caching" in your preferences before exiting the game. Copy the "cl2024.skc" file in your "appdata/local/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/caches" folder (Windows) and start the game up. It should show all correctly after this. (I reloaded the skin numerous times while adding/changing stuff around and at some point the "scout recommendation" ("A","B" etc.) wasn't showing anymore, when I replaced the caching file with one from a newly installed laptop, it was back again, so it did the trick for me).

    Working on some updated logo's, it looks like not a lot of changes when reviewing major competition logo's or top division teams changing logo's. If you spot missing logo's (please review the OP, I'm not creating all logo's for all teams), please let me know. A few examples (not alluded) here, will release an update to the pack end of January 2024

    Made a minor change to the tactics screen. When clicking "substitutes" the available substitutes would pop-up (overlapping the team instructions) but the background was dark (to prevent "team instructions" from still being visible when substitutes were showing. I decided to clean this up and it's now a seamless image with pitch background, fading out to black, in the background. See screenshot for example:

    I'm not sure what you mean here with showing the icons of the feet (footedness), the icons need space in order to show and be readable, so looks to me that the containers are just not big enough to add them. Either way in my player pop-up panels it shows right away, so when you hover over the little icon next to the player name the pop-up shows and it shows the footedness of the player you are watching. Maybe I completely misunderstand you, but looks not that relevant to add it in. It also looks nice and clean now, some people add all kinds of icons and stuff in it that just makes it look "messy", but that is my personal opinion of course.

    Thanks for the feedback, to be honest I never even looked at that particular screen, never selected more than one player.......... I added it in, larger player faces as well, will be included in a (small) update that I will release sometime next week

    Added detailed player stats in player overview panel (credit to "_Ben_" and GIMN for their work on this), it is accessible through the pull down menu as shown in the screenshot. Also changed colour settings for the "PIZZA" graphs, used with permission of "GIMN" (Mustermann skin)

    With update FM 24.2 the option to add a "manager picture" has been removed from the game. In order to get your own picture to show as the manager picture you will have to add your own picture to the "player picture folder" you have. Review the UID# of your own (manager) picture and add it to the config.xml file. Reload the skin and make sure caching is NOT enabled and your picture will show again. Since FM 24.2 a manager is considered a "regen" picture. so you will need to add "-r" to the code. So if you UID# is for example: "2002117708" the code in the config.xml in the player pictures folder will need to show: <record from="r-2002117708" to="graphics/pictures/person/r-2002117708/portrait"/>

    Removed non-relevant info (intended for GK only) from recruitment screen for players and added player faces to "other recommended player" screens

    Resolved a bug in the "player transfer information" screen. When player was "transfer listed" there were no options to adjust in this screen, see pictures "before" and "after". Replace the xml file in the "panels/player" folder and reload the skin for the changes to take effect. Before: After: player transfer information.xml

    Made a change to the colour settings (file is "CL2024 settings.xml" in the folder "settings") Don't like the bright orange colour, I changed it to a dark grey colour which makes it better readable and easier on the eyes. Add the below code to the panel and reload the skin. <colour name="bg accent" value="rgb(75,75,75)" /> Before the change: After the change:

    Attached the pdf that I made for the skin, was NOT included in the skin download, my apologies. Champions League 2024 skin.pdf

    Full version of the skin is now released, as of November 9, 2023. If you have donated you should now have received a PM here, or an email, with the new download link and encryption password. Please make sure to DELETE the BETA skin and extract the new (full) skin in your "skins" folder. Lots of panels were added and edited (well over 150 panels since the BETA version came out) and also graphics and settings were changed).

    We had some technical issues on the website so I reposted some of the changes made in the past 2 weeks. The full skin release is planned for Friday November 10 and making good progress to the release date. I have updated well over 150 panels since the BETA release two weeks ago. So lots of changes have been made, some are clearly noticeable, some only when you "dig a bit deeper". My skins are always considered to be a "complete overhaul" of the game, not just a few panels being edited. After spending on average 7-8 hours/day for the past 3 weeks, I can say the product is nearing completion now. I never like "skin makers' who release a skin and come with weekly or monthly updates, that in general means that the skin was not completed upon release, besides of course some "bug fixes". I usually, for that reason, only release 1 to 2 updates after the initial release, knowing that I spent already countless hours on perfecting the skin prior to the first release. See below screenshots of the WIP, the latest addition I completed today is the "return of squad depth" in the "squad planner" section of the skin (used to be in FM23 and now in FM24 it only shows a "best XI" screen instead with no additional info). As usual I edited the panels with bigger boxes, where possible bigger player faces, and a nicer view overall.

    After a lot of work on the BETA version and extensive testing done by @Bracodu88 (many thanks for that!!!) I have decided to make the Champions League 2024 skin available from Thursday October 26, 2023. Please note that the current version is BETA and is functional with the current "pre-release" BETA version of Football Manager 2024. The skin will be updated after the full version becomes available on November 6, 2023. Very likely last minute changes made by SI to the BETA can cause some issues, so bug fixes are still needed, but given the overwhelming interest in this skin I decided to make the skin available now already, so everyone can enjoy FM 24 properly with this skin. As always, please send me a PM (not in the general forum) if you have donated and would like to receive a download link with the encryption password.
