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.

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

@aimen: The process is automated. You should receive 2 emails after completing your order. 1 from Paddle and 1 from FMScout with instructions and a link to connect your order with your member account here. Have you received any of them?

@Stam Bonjour je viens d'acheter la licence je la reçois quand stp merci
Stam • 4 days ago

@Facunob10: Download the latest version from this page and install. As I explained yesterday, this particular update requires re-download and re-install as auto-update won't work due to major version change (from 26.1 to 26.2).

@crazyblue: I added options to zoom in, not zoom out. It didn't occur to me that anyone would have 150% zoom for their OS. Can you show a screenshot of what you're seeing exactly?

@aimen: It's all explained above and on the FMLE26 product page.
Facunob10 • 4 days ago

Hola no se me aplica la actualizacion automaticamente se me bugea todo. ya intente desinstalar e instalar pero no funciona
crazyblue • 4 days ago

Hello, i'm playing on a laptop where the default resolution is 150%. The program seems to be struggling to resize so i can't use the advanced search option since it's out of the screen boundary. Would it be possible to be fixed ?
aimen • 5 days ago

merci

@BlitzThose: That wasn't as quick as I wanted. I was ready like 3 hours ago, then realized an issue with human managers which slowed me down. Thanks for the kind words though.

FMLE v1.7.3 is now available! This update adds support for the 26.2.0 patch across all editions of the game on Windows. Enjoy!
Note: Unlike previous patchfix updates, this one requires a re-download and re-install.
Stam • 6 days ago

Status update: I'm working on adding support for the 26.2.0 patch on all FM26 editions (for Windows). Unfortunately, this particular update will require you to re-download and re-install the app. It's only 4.4MB though, so it should be quick. I'll post a new comment once I'm ready!

@Stam YES that would be very convenient to test something. I would say mass edit everything would be cool idea but traits and attributes are most of important for me. btw cool UI and color tone my eyes can't handle bright UI anymore
Stam • 6 days ago

@Kingmaldini: Mass edit is currently limited to the 5 buttons on the Teams tab. I can implement more options in a future update.
You'd like to mass edit specific attributes and make all team players have the same value?
Kingmaldini • 6 days ago

Are there any way to mass edit whole current club to have some certain traits ?. I mean i dont want to click one by one
Stam • 6 days ago

Today we're expecting the game's main data update to drop. I'll make sure FMLE gets a patchfix for it asap.
@northy14: I'm glad you like the dedicated Kits tab.
northy14 • 6 days ago

@stam: Love the new kit designer thank you!
Stam • 1 week ago

@Jamie Aubrey: I feel FMLE is 100% worth buying, but I'm biased. Quite proud of the progress made either way.
Is there anything else you'd like to see added?
Jamie Aubrey • 1 week ago

Damn, I might buy a licence just for the ability to finally edit GK kits alone
Stam • 1 week ago

FMLE v1.7.2 is now available. This update brings even more new features. Enjoy!

List of Changes
- Move players on loan
- Move staff and human managers
- New tab Kits for clubs
- Removable club vision objectives
Stam • 1 week ago

@Romantik.inici: You can use it with any existing save you have. That's the point of a real-time editor.

@northy14: Here's a preview of the upcoming new tab Kits for clubs.
Romantik.inici • 1 week ago

Can we use it in our current career profile, or do I need to create a new profile?
Stam • 1 week ago

@yuh1910: Then I guess you're a guest to a network game? Can't think of any other reason.
yuh1910 • 1 week ago

Yes, I'm always online when playing, but FML26 still says "Not Connected".
Stam • 1 week ago

@yuh1910: You need to be online for its first run, and whenever there's a patchfix update or after a feature update setup.
