What is this then?

This is an update for Russia and Ukraine regarding the structure of the clubs. This update fixes the Affiliate bug rendering these leagues more or less unplayable. It also introduces the Double Championship never implemented by SI.

It is based on the February update from FMSweden/FMupdates, there are no player updates done by me. But check for the FMupdates for their player updates.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SI basing the game on "British club structure" causes annoyances when
playing in countries with second teams in same league system as the
first team.

Unlike the default structure:
* First team
* Reserve team
* Youth team

Russian and Ukraine clubs using the following structure,
* First team
* Double team (D)*
* Possible second-2 team
* Possible third-3 team
* and so on

SI solving this by creating several clubs and linking them as affiliates. However this reduces the function of the club compared to real life. And to top that, if the two clubs meat on the same league level, a bug will split the club into two independent clubs.

I have as far possible merged these affiliate clubs into a single clubs. Making the -2 part of the first club. Replacing the youth team.

The reserve team have been fiddle with to simulate the double championship*. Basically adding the (D) after the team name.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The (D) team is roughly a "talent youth" team blended with some older
reserve players. Players to good to be send to the second team. The
double teams have a separate championship while the other teams are in
the same championship. *
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are two exceptions! Spartak Moscow and Dynamo Kyiv are split partly in affiliates.
This because they have so many teams they can’t be merged into a single club. The affiliates are however third league teams and rarely pop up into playable leagues.

If they do make sure they don’t get prompted to the same league as the mother team. This will cause a split. Of just ignore it if that doesn’t bother you.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have made some corrections of Stadiums for example adding the new Shakhtar Stadium.
Name corrections have been done partly in database but mostly using Susies LNC updates.

In order to make it easier for Russian and Ukraine clubs to recruit foreign (mostly Brazilian) players as they to in reality but is almost impossible in game. The nation and league attribute have been slightly tweaked.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly this is a beta! It has been played and simulated without any problems. If something seems wrong please report it in this thread!

This sounds like a really good update. I noticed the problems with Ukranian teams before so I look forward to seeing how this plays.
