F.A.Q. (Frequently Asked Questions)
Question:
The transfers that happened, are they set as future transfers or are the players are their new club from the start?

Answer:
They will be at their new club from the start of your game. Most people want to play with their favourite club and their new players, not waiting till January.
Question:
I miss a lot of players who are loaned out. Also, some player who are supposed to be injured aren't. What's up with that?

Answer:
There's always the chance we missed a couple of loan deals. Also, all the loan deals which are only for 1 or 2 months aren't included in the db. As for the injuries, we haven't included a lot of new injuries. This is because most newssites are always saying that a player is "probably" out till the end of the season. Probably isn't certain.
Question:
I've installed the database update to where you said but when I start a new game it isn't listed in the list of databases to start a new game with.

Answer:
This is 99% of the times because you either put it in the wrong directory or you changed the name of the folder (or one of the files). In both cases, the database won't appear in the list where you can select which database to use for your new game. Please double check if you made a mistake.
