I think I just worked it out

Ok, so it's a little bit hit and miss as far as I can tell. What you need, however, is a transfer update (with teams in the correct leagues) which can be yours of course. Then I suggest you download something like the premier league fixtures by bakermush from last year (http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/downloads.php?do=file&id=2134&act=down) - this will give you a sample of the league rules to edit and you can clear the fixtures (once his file is loaded click on fixtures on the left and then clear at the bottom right).

Next I suggest finding a website that has all the fixtures in a nice format: the Guardian website is ideal (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premierleague/fixtures) and copy/paste these into excel. You can then use excel followed by notepad to get the fixtures into the form (including inverted commas (")):

"dd/mm/yyyy" "time" "home team" "away team"
"dd/mm/yyyy" "time" "home team" "away team"
etc

The aim is to have a .txt file with all of the season's fixtures in this format. (NOTE Be imaginative using search/replace functions, this is especially nice in word where you can use ^p for end of paragraph. e.g. you might search for ^p and replace with "^p")

you can then say import in FM editor (next to the clear button you clicked on earlier) and the only editing you will have to do is to select which fixtures are for TV! If you test the league rule now it will tell you that you only created fixtures for 17 teams so you need to merge this rule .xml file with your trasfer update .dbc file (there is an option to do this in the file menu. The rules will be valid in the resultant editor data.

Remember when loading a game to deselect "move matches for tv" in preferences and then re-tick it again sometime before Christmas so that TV matches are generated for the second half of the season.

Hope this helps (H)
