📋 About This Mod

What is it:

These squad files contain:

  • []400+ renamed generic stadiums, I wanna say over 250 generic stadiums checked for visual and size accuracy

I have fully checked for accuracy and renamed English and German pyramid, Denmark, Belgium, Netherlands, Scotland, Ireland, Switzerland and Portugal. Fully renamed are Ligue 1, Italy, Spain, Norway, Sweden the rest are partial.

  • []Fixed European competition teams, so that the missing teams are replaced with teams that make sense (no Brightons)

    []Fixed Loan-to-buy - players who are supposed to join their clubs in the future on a permanent, have options, join in the future, etc.

    []e.g. Hincapie permanent in Arsenal, Rashford buy option in Barcelona, Quenda loaned from Chelsea

    []Original Squads patch is in the description of the file before download.

    Full documentation: On my website and players listed on sofifa.com

    Two squad files of two names:

    • []CF-SE - Squad File with Stadiums and European Groups

      []CF-SEL - Squad File with Stadiums, European Groups and Loans and Transfer Obligations edits

    You will see these names in-game in the Squads menu

    How it use:

    • []Put the Squad File into C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\EA SPORTS FC 26\settings

      or type %localappdata%/EA SPORTS FC 26 in the Windows address bar, then click settings

    • []In game, navigate to Settings -> Customize -> Profile -> Load Squads and select the squad file of choice

      []Select "Use current" when creating a career save. This is important!

      []If you want to download a squad update in the future, do it through customise->edit teams->download update, that way the stadium changes and EU changes will survive. If you do it through the career mode menu they will get overwritten.

      []CAREFUL!! - there is currently a bug where when you back out of your save, the game will download the newest squads in a way where they destroy the updates. Remember to reload the squad file, and if you update to a newer squad as per my instructions, make sure to save it separately so you can reload it!!

      This is only for PC. If you are on console, you can use my website as a guide to mimic these changes yourself. With transfers, you can "reset" loans by moving a player to free agents and then back on the same menu (without breaking lineups, squad numbers, etc). Sadly, you can't replicate option-to-buy scenarios.

      If you think I've missed something crucial or you are experiencing stability issues, leave me feedback and I'll try to fix it as soon as possible.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Place the squad file in the correct 'editor data' folder in your Football Manager documents directory, then start a new career to apply it.

  • If you use other database mods, load this one last to avoid conflicts.
