The "Champions League skin" is back for the 2016 edition (last release was for FM 2014, I skipped FM 2015).
I created this skin for my personal use and the skin has been tested with the recommended resolution of 1920x1080 (windowed and full screen).
This skin wouldn't have been possible without the work of:
Dasz8, FLUT, EmilDebski (Vitrex skin), OPZ, TheBantams (Andromeda skin), Wannachupbrew, Bergkamp, Artdekdok and many, many others.
Recommended (not included) for use with this skin are:
Facepack of your choice, Logo and kits packs, Cities mega-pack (showing city pictures in club screens) and stadium background pack.
This skin includes:
- compatibility with version 16.2.0
- bigger player faces
- (small) sidebar with customized icons and auto-hide feature, colours change depending on team/competition selected
- custom made Champions League scoreboard in full match screen mode
- custom made "match preview" and "post match" panels
- opacity/background selector
- instant result button
- many other additional graphical updates to enhance the FM experience
This is a dark skin, optimized for HD resolutions (resolution of 1920x1080 windowed and full screen).
The main focus with this skin was to get the optimal amount of information on the (profile) panels.
Low(er) resolutions will not be able to display all panels completely because of this and these low(er) resolution are not recommended or supported.

You can fix this easily by adjusting the "left inset" values (increase them) of the items that seem out of place in the "match titlebar score.xml" that is located in the \panels folder of the skin.
The signature font is causing problems (it shows a "?" in the name sometimes) when using Turkish player names.
This is also the case in other skins (Androflut and Andromeda) that use the same signature font.
To resolve replace the "signature" font in the "font" directory and the problem is solved.
Just download this small file and replace the files in the "fonts"\ folder of the skin.

Known Issues
If you are using a higher resolution than HD your CL scoreboard will not look good.You can fix this easily by adjusting the "left inset" values (increase them) of the items that seem out of place in the "match titlebar score.xml" that is located in the \panels folder of the skin.
