FMLE Features

FMLE26 is a fully featured real-time editor with a scouting edge. It's fast, clean, and focused on what matters. The scouting features are simple but super useful. For more advanced scouting, I recommend Genie Scout 26.

Here's an overview of the key features.

Smart Edit History

The first FM Editor with a "Pending & Undo" system; a unique feature designed for peace of mind.
✔ Fields you change get a red border (pending), while those you save get a green border (applied).
✔ Edit History page shows everything you have edited in your current session.
✔ Made a mistake? You can remove pending changes or undo applied edits instantly.

Clean & Easy Interface

I've focused on Quality of Life features that save you time.
✔ Editing should be fast and simple with click and drag fields wherever possible.
✔ Search works as live filtering and enables you to find any player, staff or club from your save instantly.
✔ Smart Navigation that remembers your last position and tab.

Powerful Search & Filters

The Advanced Search is a high-speed engine built directly into the editor, and it is 100% free for everyone.
✔ Find exactly who you need with powerful filters that go beyond the basic game.
✔ See critical data directly in your search results, which is ideal for quick scouting while you play.

What can you edit (License Required)

Human Managers
Become unsackable, register squad at any time, and change your manager stats.

Players & Staff
Attributes (can freeze them too), CA/PA, reputation, positions, traits, personal info, and more.

Clubs
Edit finances, upgrade facilities, tweak stadium details and change kit colors.

Contracts
Edit wage, dates, clauses and bonuses, move to other club, cancel loans and future transfers.

Instant Fixes
Heal injuries, fix fitness, remove bans, boost morale. Plus mass edit for teams.

Whenever there's a new official patch out, I'll do my best to update FMLE asap.

@micaellllll: The process is automated. You should receive 2 emails after completing your order. 1 from Paddle with your receipt, and 1 from FMScout with instructions on how to connect your order with your member account here. I've manually resent the 2nd email.

@hustasz: I see your license is activated, so it might have been a momentary hiccup, or you didn't have an active internet connection for your first run.

@Stam efetuei o pagamento e recebi o recibo no email e ainda não recebi a licença, é normal?

When i try to load data it says: (could not fetch offsets: failed to fetch offsets from steam (26.1.2+2255777)) and when i am trying to load licence it says Network error: timed out reading response. Any solutions?

@igorferreira: I'm currently working on adding club affiliations, sponsorships and vision. And yes, the player registration part is the most important one for player relations.

@davboc: Thanks for the kind words. I haven't fiddled with shortlist files yet.

Waiting for the editable relations... specially an option regarding the player registration on domestic and continental competitions.
davboc • 2 days ago

Really great work, congratulations! It would be a truly complete tool if it could manage shortlists, saving them to a file and allowing you to load the displayed one into the game, like fmscout does.
Stam • 3 days ago

@silispap: Yes, that's on my list. I'll be making player relations editable in one of the next 2 feature updates.

Heya Stam! Any idea if you're gonna implement the feature to edit a player's homegrown status at club and/or country?
Stam • 4 days ago

@MagisterN: This is how "Move to other club" works also in the in-game editor. It's not currently possible to create a future transfer, only to cancel it when you find one.

@lusocat: I can't replicate the issue you're describing. In the private messages we exchanged, you mentioned it's a custom database of (probably created) female players. If you can send me a copy of your save, I can test it.
MagisterN • 4 days ago

how do you sell players with a transfer fee.... i may be an idiot but all i see is move player for free
lusocat • 4 days ago

Dear friend Stam, the game can no longer be saved as I said before... I was editing with an all-female team.
Stam • 4 days ago

@lusocat: Write in English only. Please read our site rules. The editor works. I'll give you an example. If you're already on a player profile in-game and save a change using FMLE, you need to press Continue in-game until it moves forward (even if it's just an hour later on the same day). If you save a change BEFORE going to the player's profile, you'll see the change immediately.

@Phenex: I did. All seem correct on my end. Just triggered a manual resend for the FMScout email. Message me on live chat or via pm.
Phenex • 4 days ago

@Stam I received 2 email from Paddle and PayPal, could you please check this situation?
Stam • 4 days ago

@Phenex: It should be automatic. After completing your order, you must receive 2 emails, 1 from Paddle and 1 from FMScout with instructions and a link to connect your order with your member account here. Make sure to check your spam too.
Phenex • 5 days ago

I've already paid and received the receipt, but I still haven't received the license. Is it normal for it to take so long?
Stam • 6 days ago

@ViE: I'll make sure to embed this in the setup file from the next version. It's only like 50KB. Thanks for the confirmation.
ViE • 6 days ago

@Stam Installing Visual C++ Runtime worked. Thanks.
Stam • 1 week ago

We're having a technical issue this evening with the automated email that's being sent out after completing an order. I'll make sure to solve the problem tonight and resend the emails for all orders with an unclaimed license. In the meantime, feel free to message me (via pm or the live chat) and I can sort your license manually. Apologies for the inconvenience.
@efmustang @JamilJunior: I've already sorted your licenses. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
efmustang • 1 week ago

just pay for the key but
"No license found that requires activation. Check below if it is already activated."
this is wath i get when click de link that will take me to activation key.
JAMILJUNIOR • 1 week ago

I paid for the license, but it doesn't appear to be available to me.
djcLUFC • 1 week ago

@stam how do you do that and how much?
Stam • 1 week ago

@djcLUFC: You need a paid license to unlock the ability to save your edits.

@Alon986: Using a custom database shouldn't matter.
