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.
✔ Currency selector and UI zoom options for a personalized experience.

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 is Free - No License Required

✔ Full Advanced Search with overpowered filters
✔ Live filtering - find any player, staff, or club instantly
✔ View all player attributes, CA/PA, positions, traits, personality
✔ View club finances, facilities, stadium details, relations
✔ View contracts, clauses, wages, transfer status
✔ Preview the full editing system (pending edits, edit history)
✔ No sign-up, no credit card, no time limit
FMLE is a genuinely useful scouting companion even without a license.

With the paid version, is it possible to transfer a player from my team to another club while receiving a transfer fee? When I want to transfer a player, I can only do it with 'Move to other club' but without a fee. The same applies if I want a player from another club; I can't find how to get them with financial compensation. Thank you
sergiohidalgof • 10 hours ago

Hello, there are some players for whom, even if I change their position in the editor, they always return to the original values. Why could this be?
Stam • 1 day ago

@Vault_4: Redownload and reinstall is needed for feature updates. For patchfix updates, a simple app restart will suffice.

@paul0000: We've already sorted activating your 2nd device.
Vault_4 • 1 day ago

Awesome tools! I'd be wondering how Salford's players would be confused that their training ground next day is state-of-the-art facilities

If i have to give criticism, I wish that auto-update can be done without having to manually reinstall the setup through here, though it's not a big of a deal.
paul0000 • 2 days ago

explain how i do that pls
Stam • 2 days ago

@paul0000: I see you have 1 device activated. So I assume you got it to work in the end? All you need to do is have FMLE installed, then double-click the license file once you download it from the license manager page.
paul0000 • 3 days ago

i bought a license but when i switched to a new pc its not working
DjProgressive • 3 days ago

@Stam
Thanks a lot for the answer. Yearly wage would be perfect.
Take care.
the_guardian • 3 days ago

Hello, great tool. Could you add an option to edit player wages on loan?
Stam • 3 days ago

@DjProgressive: Thank you for the kind words. There's currently no option to see wages on a yearly basis. It's also not possible to edit nations yet. However, I can probably implement both for my next feature update. Nation search and editable nation profiles was already on my list for this month.

Thanks for the great app, allready bought it.

Is it possible to set wages yearly? Couldnt find it.
Also is it also possible to edit nations. Need it for youth.

Thanks a lot again.
Stam • 4 days ago

@sergiohidalgof: I'll keep investigating about the registration issue, but I'm still unable to replicate this. The other user literally sent me his save file and the Confirm button was active for me without doing anything.
About hiding CA/PA, I find the request a bit strange for an editor, but I'll see what I can do.
sergiohidalgof • 4 days ago

Btw, two more things:
- As another user mentioned, player registration isn't working. I've tried it in three different competitions outside of the regular season (Champions League, Spanish League, and Spanish First Division (Third Division)), and the confirm button is always grayed out.
- It would be great if there was an option to hide the CA and PA values from the editor. I want to use the editor to enhance my gameplay experience in many other ways, but seeing those values feels like cheating.
sergiohidalgof • 5 days ago

Thanks! I didn't know the Inspire button had that functionality. I wanted to change each player's tactical familiarity for OOPs, as they seem to be bugged in the game.
Stam • 5 days ago

@sergiohidalgof: Try the Inspire button on the player's Overview tab under the Actions section. Alternatively you can change Morale also on the Overview tab and use the Happiness drop down on the Contract tab. What's wrong with tactical familiarity for the team?

@staff973: Even though the app is ready to be localized, it currently has English as the only available language.
sergiohidalgof • 5 days ago

Hello, would it be possible to add tactical familiarity individually for each player? It would also be great to be able to change a player's "Is unhappy:" status.
staff973 • 6 days ago

Bonjour il y a la langue Française ?
Stam • 6 days ago

@AndersonJesus14: What kind of news would you like to see?
AndersonJesus14 • 1 week ago

I’m Brazilian, I’d like to see more news in the upcoming updates.
Stam • 1 week ago

FMLE has been updated to v1.10.6 which adds support for the minor hotfix on Game Pass Console, makes it possible to add missing kits to clubs (e.g. when they don't have a third) and fixes a couple of club affiliation issues. Enjoy!
Stam • 1 week ago

@PrimitoHV: Try again please.

@sergiohidalgof: Good catch, I forgot to check that after the 26.3 patch. I'll roll out a fix for that by tomorrow.

PrimitoHV • 1 week ago

Hi, the new update does not work on the current console version ?

1
sergiohidalgof • 1 week ago

Hello, I was able to add an affiliate club, but when I try to add another one, it does not appear in the game and the changes are not saved in the editor.
Fifth Domain • 1 week ago

Had to run as administrator which fixed it.
Stam • 1 week ago

@Fifth Domain: Please refer to my previous comment. The 'Not Connected' message is the default one you see when you open the app and if you click the 'Load Data' button but it doesn't find FM26 open.
