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.

Status update: I was planning to roll out v1.2.0 earlier today, but couldn't make it due to an unexpected family emergency. I've just finalized testing everything on the 2nd feature update and will definitely release it tomorrow. It's an exciting update with new additions, such as RCA, editable Club relations, Kit style preview and Player relations. I'm also planning to work on a mini tutorial series for FMLE next month.
@darlkangel: Give me an example team to check.
darlkangel • 1 month ago

Not changing colors. Add the kit. For example, there are some teams with only 1 kit enable. Can we enable the 2º kit? Thank you
Stam • 1 month ago

@Gerladproctor: I'm not doing it as a challenge to anyone. It's a passion project for me that I've been wanting to do for over a decade. You can already edit training facilities. Check on the club profile.

@darlkangel: Not sure I understand the question. You can change kit colors and styles.
Geraldproctor • 1 month ago

Well done, Stam, FMRTE needs the challenge you are providing. One question though, in the future would it be possible to upgrade training facilites?
darlkangel • 1 month ago

Hey Stam can i add kits to clubs without 2º and 3º kit with the licence?

Thank you
Stam • 1 month ago

@mitza8: RCA will arrive in tonight's feature update.

@Avior: Yes, but in a future feature update. Not today.

@idkkll: You can already move a player to another team. If you go to their Contract tab you'll find the Move to other club button.
mitza8 • 1 month ago

Can you add the Recommended CA on the player's page as well? In the in-game editor there's a current CA and the recommended CA so if you change some attributes or positions you can see what the actual CA needs to be
Avior • 1 month ago

Hi @Stam, I’m really enjoying this and the FM Scout.
Would it be possible to change the color of the player numbers?
idkkll • 1 month ago

Can this tool be used to transfer players and staff ?
Stam • 1 month ago

@Imunita: Name changing will be added in the next feature update that is scheduled for tomorrow.

@Roman_godx: That's odd. The game on Steam and Epic is identical, but I'll investigate.
Imunita • 1 month ago

guys, how to change player name?
Roman_godx • 1 month ago

it says that my version of fm is not supported in the bottom right its 26.1.2 im on epic games if that helps
Stam • 1 month ago

@DLN: Thanks for the kind words and your support.
I'm focused on FM26, but I'm not ruling out a FM24 version.
I haven't mapped out affiliates yet; it's on my to-do list.
You can already change club status (from club overview screen), and move a player to another team (from player contract screen).
Change a person type between pure player and player/staff? What do you have in mind?
Ability to change continental cup nation and based nation for a club would be easy to implement.
Not sure what partnerships you're referring to.
It'd be better to post and discuss feature requests in the FMLE forum instead.
DLN • 1 month ago

Impressive work. Bought it.

I've just want to add couple features.

- Would be nice to use this in FM24 too.
- Adding new affiliates or editing existing ones.
- Change team type or professional/amateur types to include all options in the database.
- Transfer a player or a staff with or without a fee exchanged between clubs[instantly or with a future later transfer date]
- Option to change a person's 'type' -player/non player etc
- Modify history- players/staff/clubs/competitions
- Ability to change the' 'continental cup nation'' / based nation for a club
- Add/edit 'partnerships
AlexG123 • 1 month ago

Well i would like to add a new rival for a club I'm playing as just for my own immersion. So being able to add new relationships would be much appreciated.
Stam • 1 month ago

@whiteij7544: As this was a feature update and not a patchfix update, you need to re-download and re-install. For patchfix updates a simple app restart will suffice.

@AlexG123: I could already make relationships editable. I'm contemplating whether I'll allow adding new relationships or just editing existing ones. What do you suggest?

1
whiteij7544 • 1 month ago

Hi Stam with the updated version do I just re download or does it update automatically?
AlexG123 • 1 month ago

Hi, will there be any work towards being able to edit club relationships: Favoured people, legends, rivalries?
Syke • 1 month ago

@Stam

Any chance of a Mac OS edition?

Stam • 1 month ago

@blackpoint786: Of course, that makes sense. I was planning to add a kit preview, but I need more time to prepare the graphics for that.

@tarrantino: Even though I can't replicate the issue, I believe I've figured out a fix for consistently correct classification between favourite and disliked people in club relations. As this is currently a read-only feature, I won't rush a feature update for it, but will include it in my next one once I'm happy with its list of changes.

blackpoint786 • 1 month ago

Hi dear @Stam , I saw that it's finally possible to change the kits' model and color. Can I give you a tip? It would be nice to have a preview of the shirts so that anyone who isn't familiar with English can do it. It could also be a fun preview for anyone to see the final result of their desired outcome.

I repeat, this is just an idea/suggestion.
Stam • 1 month ago

@balboa11: I haven't implemented a currency setting yet, but it's on my list for a feature update. The reason all financial data is in GBP is because that appears to be the default currency they're stored in the database. Changing currency practically means seeing the converted amount in your currency of choice but still saving the numbers in GBP.

1
balboa11 • 1 month ago

Hello, I just noticed that the finances are in "pounds" and not "euros" in the Life Editor. Is there a way to change this? Thank you in advance.
Stam • 1 month ago

@Alon986: You need a license to save your edits.

@Syke: I'm not currently planning to work on a Mac edition. The only way to get this to work on Mac is either using a Windows VM or something like Wine.
