News - The FM26 Editor Built by FMScout is a Game-Changer
On January 23rd I quietly launched FM Live Editor 26.

After 10 feature updates and 30,000 downloads, I feel the app is already at a great state in terms of features, reliability and performance.

It's a blazing fast real-time editor with a serious focus on Quality of Life functionality.

Try everything for Free

You can download, install, use its scouting features, and explore all the editing options at no cost. You can also see exactly how the editing system works with pending edits and edit history before you decide to upgrade.

Smart History: Total Control

Smart History is a unique feature you won't find anywhere else. It's refreshing and, frankly, a game-changer for peace of mind.

Say you're on a player profile and want to edit Finishing to 20. Doing that adds a red border around the field and will also create an entry in the Edit History screen.



Edits are grouped by entity (Club, Player, Staff) and each one has a 2-column table, with Applied Edits on the left column and Pending Edits on the right column.

Not only can you keep track of every change you're making, but you can also cancel pending edits and undo applied edits explicitly. No more "did I change that?" moments.

Blazing Fast Performance

FMLE is fast, clean, and focused on what matters. No bloat, no clutter; just pure performance.

  • Launch time: 1 second.

  • Data Loading: Mere seconds. For a save with 15k players and 18k clubs, it takes less than 2 seconds.

  • Live Filtering: Search results appear instantly as you type and set your filters. Find any player, staff, or club without waiting for a single loading bar.


The Advanced Search filters are genuinely overpowered. If you need even deeper data (like player ratings or potential growth), you can always pair it with Genie Scout.

Unlock the Full Power

While the scouting and exploration are free, a paid license is required to save your changes and apply them to your game. This is a one-time upgrade for £5.49 / €5.99 / $6.99 (VAT included).

With a license, you gain full control:

  • Human Managers: Become unsackable, register squads or change numbers at any time, and edit your manager's attributes.

  • Clubs: Edit finances, facilities, stadium details, kit styles/colors, relations, benefactor status, and more.

  • Players & Staff: Edit names, all attributes, CA/PA, coaching licenses, staff roles, personalities, and more.

  • Instant Actions: Heal injuries, fix fitness, remove bans, freeze attributes, or use mass edit for entire teams.

  • Contracts: Wages, clauses, bonuses, instant transfers, or canceling loans and future transfers.
In a nutshell, you can do nearly everything possible with the official In-Game Editor, and then some.



FMLE 26 is not just another editor; it's an advanced power tool for the serious FM player. Whether you use it as a lightning-fast scouting companion for free or as your primary real-time editor, it's designed to respect your time and your save game.

    @Dukelchen: Moving contracted staff is possible and works. You need a license to be able to Save Changes though.

    I tried to move contracted staff.

    @Dukelchen: Are you trying to move free or contracted staff?
  • Dukelchen's avatar
    @Stam: Yes i mean the cancel of the transfer.

    I tries the program. I cannot move Staff to (any? my?) womens Team.

    @MrLarnz: I don't currently have an option to create a new stadium, but I reckon it's possible to implement. Alternatively, you could always edit the current stadium. Plenty of options for that (see the screenshot below).

    Something i been asking FMRTE to add, is the option to build new stadium, i know on FMRTE you can edit the vision of the club to want a new stadium, but club owners constantly say no to building 1. so wondered if it was possible?
  • Stam's avatar
    @MrLarnz: It does have a number of unique features, such as edit history and undo any change made. Is there a particular feature you're looking for?
  • MrLarnz's avatar
    is there any additions which FMRTE doesn't have?
  • Stam's avatar
    @Dukelchen: Not entirely sure what you're asking. If it was a player of yours who agreed to join another team on a future transfer, you may cancel that on their contract tab.

    @mantorras77: I've responded to your comment on the download page. The value is essentially the asking price.

    @Filipe Cruz: FMLE is primarily an editor. It has basic scouting features and an overpowered advanced search, but I haven't implemented advanced scouting features such as role ratings or potential growth. Genie Scout already does that.

    @Mikatarso: I responded to your chat message but haven't heard back yet. After completing your order, you should receive 2 emails; 1 from Paddle and 1 from FMScout with instructions and a link to connect your order to your account here. If you haven't received any of those emails, it probably means there must be a typo in your email address, or you paid with PayPal and your primary email there is different from the one you filled out during your order.

    I have bought a license but no email with further steps, who can i contact?

    @johnny Giacon: Moving players is currently only for contracted ones. I'll make it possible to also move free agents in a future feature update.

    @billy casper: You can heal any injuries at any time.

    como adicionar um jogador que esta sem clube, para o seu?
  • billy casper's avatar

    @Alan59: You should have an email with a link you can use to connect your order to your account here.

    @Imunita: I've answered your question on the download page.
  • Alan59's avatar
    where is my licence?
  • Imunita's avatar
    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?
