How to update your Premier League squad in FM24

If you love playing the iconic Football Manager series, you will be familiar with some of the minor frustrations associated with the game.

One of the most common issues relates to starting a new save several months after the launch of the latest edition, which results in the data no longer reflecting ‘real-life’.

For players planning to embark on a career in FM24, this means that transfer moves completed in January or this summer are not included in the game.

This is where an updated FM24 database becomes a vital tool, as it provides you with the opportunity to bring the game data completely up-to-date.

For example, let’s say you have replaced Eddie Howe as Newcastle United’s manager and want to ensure the information is totally accurate.

By utilising Sortitoutsi’s FM24 Data Update, you will be able to embark on a new career at St James’ Park with the latest real-life transfers and squads for the game.

You will no longer have to worry about getting Javier Manquillo off the wage bill, as his January transfer to Celta Viga will be included in the uploaded data.

To install the latest information, delete any previous version of the FM24 data update you may have installed before you start. Then follow these simple steps:


  • Download the zip file to your computer using the ‘Download’ button.
  • Extract the zip file.
  • Find the ‘fmf’ files within extract files and move them to the following location (create the “editor data” folder if it doesn’t exist): Windows: My Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data/ or Mac: /Users/YOURNAME/Library/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data/.
  • Make sure there are no sub-folders under ‘editor data’. All ‘fmf’ files should be directly under the ‘editor data’ folder.
  • Start Football Manager 2024 and select ‘New Career Game’.

The FM24 data update is refreshed daily, thus allowing you to load a new save with all the latest squads and transfer moves included.

Fans of the series submit information to ensure that each edition of the legendary management simulation is kept as up-to-date as possible.

Anyone can submit changes and ask for them to be added to the latest update, meaning this is a real community effort by FM fans.

Data updates are also available for FM21, FM22 and FM23, and the same will be the case when FM25 is launched in November 2024.

If you are looking to boost your enjoyment of the FM series, using Sortitoutsi’s FM24 Data Update is the perfect way to go about it.
