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.

Where is my licence?
Com Pinta • 3 weeks ago

It's working. Thank you very much, Stam. Have a good weekend.
Stam • 3 weeks ago

@mahoudcha @Com Pinta: Try again, it should work.

@Imunita: No, but you can move the player directly to your team using the relevant Move button on the Contract tab.
mahoudcha • 3 weeks ago

Unsupported Human Manager
Please attach to FM26 first.
Imunita • 3 weeks ago

I want to buy a player, but he’s not interested in transferring to my club because he wants to settle in at his new club first.

Is it possible to change his interest using the editor?
Com Pinta • 3 weeks ago

Hello Stam,

I'm having a problem with the app.

When I click the "load data" button, it shows "Unsupported" in red.

In the application window below, a message appears: Could not fetch offsets: Server error for epic (Version number). No offsets found for version (Version Number) on epic.

My application version is v1.4.1 and my game is on Epic.

Thanks
Stam • 3 weeks ago

Status update: I've been working on the 5th feature update which will introduce editable secondary nationalities for players, team cohesion and a new supporters tab for clubs, and few other tweaks. I'm hoping to have it ready later today.

@DrPuhh: What change are you trying to do? What error exactly? Please post more details in the FMLE forum.
DrPuhh • 3 weeks ago

I tried, paid licence and every small changes I got error. I use gamepass version
Stam • 3 weeks ago

@Devatva: It's automated, so you should receive the license related email within a minute. I've noticed deliverability to Microsoft emails is not great and I'm exploring ways to improve that. In the meantime, I manually resend the email and seems to get delivered like it happened in your case.
Devatva • 3 weeks ago

Hello, how long does it take to receive the license?
Stam • 3 weeks ago

@quamhe obed: It requires internet for the first run and whenever there's a patchfix update. That reminds me I should do some mini tutorials to help clarify how certain things work.

@RPGFan: Console wasn't updated (still). Whenever they roll out a patch, you can expect FMLE to work with it on the same day.
quamhe obed • 3 weeks ago

With the unsupported I connected it to the internet and it connected

and the attributes too I figured it out thanks so much for your response
RPGFan • 3 weeks ago

that is odd, at least in fm 26 console it is working fine, although not sure if it might be an update from SI
Stam • 3 weeks ago

@Skeng: There was a minor patch released today. FMLE is already working with it. Simply restart the app.

@westo22: We've spoken on chat, all has been sorted.
Skeng • 3 weeks ago

Load data > unsupported

westo22 • 3 weeks ago

still waiting for code to be sent and also keeps telling me

✗ Could not fetch offsets: Server error for steam (26.1.3+2266940): No offsets found for version 26.1.3+2266940 on steam

any ideas help would be greatful

@quamhe obed: What edition of FM26 are you using? I'm curious about why it said unsupported and what you changed to get it to work.
About player attributes, if you increase them without editing the CA to match the RCA, they'll start dropping asap because the game always tries to force the attributes to reflect the CA value.
There are 2 options to keep the edited attributes high. The 1st option is to edit the CA to match the RCA (it's an indication right under CA that is dynamically calculated). Remember that CA can only be as high as the PA, so if you need to go higher than PA, you'll need to increase the PA first. The 2nd option is to simply enable the Freeze Attributes checkbox (you can find it under Actions) which should keep them at your desired values regardless of CA.
quamhe obed • 3 weeks ago

When I click the load data it says unsupported why.
...
I edited my player attributes but after on match it all went back to default with most of his attributes dropping.
Stam • 3 weeks ago

@proton6: It's free to download, install, use its scouting features and explore all editing options. To be able to save your changes, you need a paid license. It's all explained above, on the news article and on the product page.

@iguinhoz12: I've responded to your forum post. I can see you've already activated your license.

@jmantiki2721: GK coaches only have 1 attribute now which covers shot stopping and handling/distribution.
proton6 • 3 weeks ago

So if its a free version what can you edit in the free version ??
iguinhoz12 • 3 weeks ago

comprei a licença e nao chegou para mim nada, como resolver ?
jmantiki2721 • 3 weeks ago

Wondering about gk coaches. It looks like the general goalkeeping value covers shotstopping but not necessarily handling or distribution. Are there subvalues in the code to modify gk handling or distribution?
Stam • 3 weeks ago

@Imunita: The work permit checkbox only appears when the player is contracted to a UK based club. What I explained in my previous comment still stands.
Imunita • 3 weeks ago

i have only 2 points.. "Freeze atributes and Declared for nations" thats all, not work permit..
