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!

  • Load your scouted players into FM+ and get a trustworthy opinion on them, after signing them, their star rating will stay the same

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"

    @bezman don't think you have the right to decide when it's okay to complain about something here and when it's not. Besides, you haven't understood a single word.

    @Davy As I wrote, please don't take it the wrong way. I really like your work, but 18 updates to date? Your premium users get the update automatically when they start the tool - why do you have to post an update here every time?
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    Feature update: v18
    * You can now choose to see 'score rating' instead of 'star rating'
    * New page that summarizes your ideal 23-size squad (both for club & nation mode)
    * Support for DKK currency
    * Better detection for name of youth/B teams
    * Update team kits/colour on how they show in FM+ (this does not affect how they show in FM)


    @Conardo, reason for new updates is, just like for my PCM tool, post-release I listen to community and use the tool extensively myself, update issues and add a lot of new features (like this one), it's not announcing updates for the sake of it, I actually put in the work every day to improve it (certainly in the first few weeks after release) - and everyday there are still quite a few new users at the moment

    @Conardo

    I would say feel free to write your own piece of software then you might have the right to moan about it. There is nothing wrong with @DavyDepuydt updating HIS program when he wants plus the fact it only takes seconds to update this great piece of software so whats the problem.

    Hello,

    Please don't misunderstand Davy (I use your PCM tool myself), but I don't think it's ok to post a new update here practically every 2 days, which is basically only of interest to those who buy it. Surely this is not a platform that wants to make money with its apps?

    Can't you reduce the frequency with which you offer your tool here?

    Don't get me wrong, but I think it's a bit excessive.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    I'm aiming for an updated version tomorrow, you'll have the option to switch between "star ratings" and "score rating", which gives the player a score on 10 (with 1 decimal precision)

    I tested with both default and the custom one I was using and the issue occurs on both, I also tested with fullscreen/windowed and it was the same behaviour.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @Vvio, I'll look into it.
    You are using the default skin?
  • Vvio's avatar
    Hey Davy nice app :)

    Noticed an issue with the "Create 23 squad selection filter in FM" - https://streamable.com/fn78m3 - it posts the first one and then seems to have issues selecting the box or it staying selected, I can manually reselect if I'm fast enough but otherwise it's just blank.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    I've updated the thread so you can see which ingame currencies are supported. DKK support will come in next update.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
  • Rizakh's avatar
    There's a changelog in anyplace?

    I bought the tool and loving it so far. I have one issue though...because I`m travelling a lot I am playing FM on 2 computers. Is there any chance I can use my licence on both my desktop and my laptop? Keep up the good work!
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @drhay53, great to see you were able to troubleshoot this yourself :)
  • drhay53's avatar
    The contract expiry and salary issue was due to using the English (US) language. I had to change it to just English.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @drhay53, please sent your export to [email protected]
    it's not a widespread issue, otherwise a lot of people would have complained about this the last few weeks, it will be something related to your setup specific, I'm happy to check and help and see if I can resolve it.

    The extra settings to leave out heavy load players or players with with low condition is coming in a future update.

    The last request you have, I'll put it on the list as lower prio, as it'snot something a lot of people will use and is kinda a specific request. It may or may not make a future update
  • drhay53's avatar
    Noticing a couple of issues.
    - The tool is not correctly reading/reporting on the contract end date. All players in my team show a date of 1/1/0001. I have tried all of the date formats the game offers.

    - The tool is not correctly reading salaries. Everyone shows a wage of 0.0.

    I have a couple of feature requests as well.
    * different rotation options. Especially one based on match load; rotate out all "heavy" match load players for example.

    * The ability to set custom attribute weightings. For example a "team DNA" set of 5 attributes to increase or add to every position. It would be good to be able to customize the weights of every position as well. edit: it looks like I can modify the weights slightly by at least adding attributes as "Pref" or "Req" in the files in the Positions directory.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    Ok let me check that.
    If you want the icon back, delete the file in %appdata%\fmplus24\
  • JoseBourinho56's avatar
    I changed the theme using the paintbrush but now the icon won't reappear, even after re-launching. is this a bug? or am I missing something?
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @sopelg, I'm sorry, some of those antivirus programs like norton don't allow unsigned software (such certificate quickly costs around 300 a year for the developer). Nothing I can do about it right now. maybe you can mark the application as safe yourself
  • sopelg's avatar
    I want to try this tool, but norton instantly deleting this file and i cant even install it :( .Remember previous version this tool for earlier versionn FM and worked nice.
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    New large update out

    * New setting: option to exclude O23 and O25 players when managing a youth/B team

    * New setting: option to detect promising youngsters differently when managing youth/B team

    * Added a button that allows user to set colors of the team in case FM+ does not detect them automatically

    * Added new view 'FM+ Shortlist', so you can now export from shortlist view in FM as well

    * Fix to detect national country when national pool contains players who are having a different first nationality but are still eligible to be called up

    * Updated the age limit for 'Promising youngsters', so 23 year old are now included as well

    * Added support for Hong Kong Dollar currency

    @barfly14, for now the tool is purely based on players ability and their fit to a certain role (and their footedness and how well they can play in that position). PI or TI are not included or suggested.
  • barfly14's avatar
    @DayDepuydt Sorry, actually TI's too for that matter? thanks
  • barfly14's avatar
    @DayDepuydt Hi, just paid for Premium and enjoying playing around with the tool. When it says can help to pick the tactic, I see it takes into consideration the best roles for your players, does that include PI's? and can it help suggest further PI's to make the tactic even better?
