FAQ
I can't find all the staff members of this list on my savegame. Why?
I loaded the entire database to produce this list of FM23 best assistants. Your savegame probably has fewer staff loaded.
Where is the downloadable shortlist to import in-game?
Sorry, I don't have one. I used to share shortlists before, but people would steal them and post on other sites without my consent.
