Worldwide Champions League

Description
(Credit to Graaa from this discontinued FM15 mod: http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/395969-FM15-USA-World-Class-MLS-(8-levels) - I tweaked his database in FM15 for my personal use, and when he decided not to take it to FM16 he graciously gave permission for others to use his work, so I've separated out the continental tournament changes, both his and mine, and updated them for FM18.

NEW for the FM18 version:

Champions League-style squad rules now work: you choose a 25-man squad for the CL or WL on September 1st, 4 homegrowns from the club required and 8 players have to be SOME kind of homegrown. You can add up to 3 new players on February 1st.

There are now 2 qualifiers from the CL group stage to knockouts, and third place in the CL groups goes to the World League. This required me to add another CL knockout round, so the spring is now, hm, kind of crowded. I welcome feedback on how this works out for you.

This database mod replaces all club continental competitions and the Club World Cup with three worldwide club tournaments. All domestic leagues are left untouched and will run alongside the intercontinental tournaments: fancy midweek trips to Argentina to play Boca? I BET YOU DO.

The FIFA Champions League and World League are senior-level tournaments that mostly work how you expect: Champions League has better competition and better payouts (though the difference between the two isn't as derisory as in real life), finish high enough in your domestic league or win your major domestic cup and you get a ticket (if your league of choice doesn't use a single table or has some other continental qualification shenanigans, it SHOULD work properly depending on how SI or your database modder of choice coded that specific league, but I can't be certain.) There are qualifiers, and a group stage, and a knockout stage, and Big Fancy Neutral Site Finals.

There is also a FIFA Youth League that uses a similar format and replaces the Viareggio Tournament or whatever it is called for people that aren't using the Real Name fixes. aren't using the Real Name fixes.

@giorgosbamvakaskaratzas1: I encourage you to stop worrying and learn to love squad management, since keeping all your superstars happy is basically the only challenge you'll face playing as RM or Barcelona.

But if you insist, all you'd need to do is open up this file in the pregame editor, go to advanced rules, select the first entry in the list (above FIFA Club World Cup, it will have a blank name), then select Fixture Rules, then change whatever you want under there. Rules 0 is for the CL, Rules 1 is for the WL, Rules 2 is for the Youth League. Then save it under a different name and pick that file when you start a new game.

If you mean "how to remove the squad limits in the base game's Champions League", I'm sure there's a way but I don't precisely know how.

Huh. I didn't think to make one that didn't, it would be basically impossible to schedule if it DIDN'T replace them.

Thank you very much, do you have the mod version which not replace all club continental competitions and the Club World Cup?
