Do any of these frustrations sound familiar? If so, FM+ is the tool you’ve been waiting for — it solves them all!

  • Conflicting staff ratings — Every coach gives your players different stars and advice. Who can you trust?
  • Contradictory screens — Quick Pick, Player Pages, Tactic Pages, Selection Advice… which one is actually correct?
  • Unclear best lineup — With so many opinions, figuring out your strongest XI takes way too long.
  • Tactical headaches — FM offers no simple way to compare tactics and see which ones suit your squad best.
  • Scouting disappointments — You finally land your dream signing… only to discover he’s a 2.5-star benchwarmer because your staff misjudged him.
  • New jobs take forever — Excited to manage a new team, but spend hours digging through data just to understand the squad.
  • Returning to old saves feels overwhelming — You load an old career and have no idea who’s who or what strategy you used.
  • Youth development confusion — Unsure which youngsters are worth investing in, you either overanalyze endlessly or waste time managing too many “just in case.”
  • Less time to play, more frustration — You want to enjoy FM and make progress, not get stuck in hours of tedious micromanaging.

Sounds familiar? Here’s the good news: FM+ solves all these problems and gives you back the fun, control, and excitement you love about Football Manager!



FM+'s top features
  • Lineup advice: Best eleven, bench, squad depth and best available
  • Tactic advice: Compare tactics and see which tactic gets the highest score for your players
  • Comprehensive star ratings: Players (both own & scouted) get a clear CA & PA star rating that is not subjective to any staff member, simple, good and trustworthy
  • Seperate page to manage your youngsters, see who's worth putting your effort in and how good they'll probably become
  • Load your scouted players into FM+ and get a trustworthy opinion on them, after signing them, their star rating will stay the same
  • Team info: Get familiar with a new team, or with an old save in the blink of an eye. FM+ shows you in a single page a summary of your team, who are the stars, who are the brightest youth prospects, who you should loan out and who you should offer a new contract.
  • This is a no-cheat tool, it doesn't use any hidden info like other editors, all information shown comes from values and attributes visible to the player. The tool automates what you can do in your head, on paper or in Excel in a much faster and more user friendly way

How FM+ works
FM+ now uses exports made from Football Manager instead of directly reading the FM process Memory (like older FM+ versions did).
This might seem a bit more complex at first, but it comes with a lot of benefits compared to "reading from memory":
  • All players are available, also those who became Player/Staff
  • FM+ will keep working after FM has been patched, no update to FM+ needed
  • No-Cheat tool, FM+ is purely based on what you can 'see' as a player
  • A lot more stats accessible for FM+ to make the tool even more immersive and useful
  • FM+ is no longer dependent on the work of others or on the memory structure of FM
However a "quick load" option might be added in the near feature, now that it has been announced that there will come an updated version of the component that can read directly from memory

Supported FM Languages
Since FM+ now uses exports to show you the data (explained above), the language in which your FM is set is now important.
At the moment following FM languages are supported. (we might add extra languages in the future):

  • English
  • German
  • Spanish
  • Italian
  • Dutch
  • French
  • Portuguese
  • Greek

  • Current supported currencies:
    "HK$", "$", "€", "¥", "£", "₹", "₽", "₺", "₿", "฿", "₫", "zl", "kr", "DKK", "KM"

    Next update will support "score" instead of "stars" in the squad depth view (if you have the option active)

    @saltydog there is no space at the moment :p that's why the "depth" screen is now available.

    I don't want to enlarge the screen for now, as the size has been chosen carefully to support the smaller laptop resolution. (and making the tool more adaptive would be a to big redesign short term)

    @DavyDepuydt
    In previouse version of this tool (FM LINEUP TOOL) there was bench visual with best suited players

    Which language is your FM set? (if it's english, it has to be UK english, not american)
  • Alex212121's avatar
    Do you have an idea why it's not working for me? This message pops up "column DoB does not belong in the table". I do everything like in the movie
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @saltydog
    What do you mean with bench version like in 22 version?

    For making 25-squad instead of 23, I'll add it to the list to make it configurable
  • saltydog's avatar
    @DavyDepuydt do you consider making bench like in 22 version? do you consider making 25 squad suggestion insted of 23? and do you consider add polish language?

    @rivershen at the moment not possible to do your own weighting.
    The ratings are calculated on RCA (so CA calculated on visible attributes, footedness, number of playable positions,..) and than it's multiplied by how good the role is a fit in regards to the best fitted role for that player. (and that is based on the required and preferred attributes for a role)
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @bulldog2908 unfortunatly not, I might change it in the future.
    Best thing I can advice you is to start a "test-career" and load that one into the tool, to see if you like it and everything is working on your computer
  • bulldog2908's avatar
    My save is up to February 2024, I have loaded FM+24 to try it out but it says the free version only goes up to 31 December 2023. Is there any way I can try it out before buying the Premium version?
  • rivershen's avatar
    Hi, can you tell me how the ratings are calculated? And is there any way to adjust the weighting for each role? For example, maybe I want pace to be the most important attribute for each role
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    I'm working on some improvements for the player card view for national teams. So team badge is shown instead of flag.

    I'm also adding some tooltips over flags, club badges and names.



    @Nobnab, thanks for the info, I'll look into that

    @Lionheart1299
    Do you perhaps have too few players in the squad to fill all positions twice?
    Then I also get an error message when I select "Team Information" - "Squad deph - Combination of first XI and bench", but that's not a problem for me.
    However, I have tried it with big clubs and it works without any problems
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @poirotketchup, sorry for the delay, but I've resent your key as reply to the email you have send me :)
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @Lionheart1299, you would need to pass me a bit more details if you want the problem solved. It works for so many other people without any issues, so probably something small you are doing wrong.

    @AdiManager, last week I was very busy so I am behind on emails. Only had time to check out this page here.

    @ben_allen76, I need to find good implementation, the ideas I had before did not offer to much extra on top of the "scouted page"
  • Lionheart1299's avatar
    This isn't working. Does not load any game save.
  • AdiManager's avatar
    @DavyDepuydt do you reading your mails
    I sent you an email five days ago and you haven't replied
  • ben_allen76's avatar
    In your old program FM Lineup tool, you had a transfer helper option, but it was never implemented. What was this going to do? And will you be putting something like this in the new program?
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @fishingforboots, that's exactly how I feel about it. Unlike "real editors", this tool only uses info that is visible to the player ingame as well, so yes, it's like having a very good analyst, or just automating what you would be able to do on paper or excel but that would take more time and would not have such nice UI ;)

    Glad you like it.

    About the fmf file, it's something I've been investigating for quite some time but haven't figured out yet. I'm not giving up though and I'm still trying to get it in :)

    @PoirotKetchup, I'll try to have a look this evening, full house with all the kids here today and it's a "kids holiday", so lot of action going on :p
  • fishingforboots's avatar
    Hey @DavyDepuydt, just want to say this is a great tool - upgraded to Premium within about 30 seconds of first usage, after I saw the range of information it gives. I know some people will say that using tools like this or Genie Scout is basically cheating, I just say it's me having an accurate Performance Analyst team (unlike what we have in the game!).

    I'm no programmer, so have no idea on the feasibility, but in the long-term, would it be possible to just import .fmf tactic files? More than happy with what we have for now, but would love to be able to just bulk copy-paste over some tactic files for the calculator.
