Taking charge of Real Madrid is one of the most ambitious moves you can make when you start a new save on the Football Manager game series.
The idea of managing the world’s most successful club may seem appealing, but embarking on the challenge as a rookie manager is fraught with danger.
The club will demand immediate success and a couple of early defeats could lead to questions being asked about your suitability for the role.
If you fancy your chances of defying expectations, it would be a good idea to arm yourself with tools which can boost your chances of long-term success.
An updated FM24 database would be a good place to start as this gives you the opportunity to download the most accurate data onto the game.
The Sortitoutsi FM24 Data Update is updated daily with all the latest real-life transfers and squads for the game, making it ideal for budding Madrid managers.
By installing the update, you immediately have star striker Kylian Mbappe at your disposal when you start a new save on FM24.
Mbappe signed for Madrid this summer, but is still with Paris Saint-Germain if you use the squads which were originally loaded onto the game’s database.
To install the latest data, delete any previous version of the FM24 data update you may have installed before you start. Then follow these 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 you do not have any 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’.
Sortitoutsi is unrivalled as a source for FM data, with the community-driven site featuring a plethora of information you can use to support your gameplay.
The data updates, which are also available for FM21, FM22 and FM23, allow you to load a new save with the information reflecting ‘real-life’ on that particular day.
It can be frustrating to embark on a new career in FM24 knowing that the data does not reflect the transfer moves you know have already happened.
Using the Sortitoutsi FM24 Data Update allows you to circumvent this issue and gives the game much greater longevity than would otherwise be the case.
