FMST26 Features

Statistics Page
The centrepiece of FMST26. A full league-management-style analytics table across every player in your save.

✔ 100+ stat columns across 8 categories: General, Attacking, Passing, Defending, Goalkeeping, Physical, Derived, and Custom.
✔ Full attributes and world reputation available as sortable columns alongside the performance stats.
✔ Per-90 metrics for goals, assists, xG, xA, shots, tackles, pressures, progressive passes, and more.
✔ Percentile heatmap - columns shade green-to-red to show each player's rank among peers at a glance.
✔ Percentile and distribution engine - every stat can be read as a raw value or as a percentile rank against your chosen comparison pool.
✔ Compare Against - choose the pool a player is measured against (whole save, a league, a position, or a custom filtered set) so percentiles mean what you want them to mean.
✔ Position benchmarks - see how a player stacks up against the typical profile for their role.
✔ Custom metrics - build your own stats with a simple formula builder or the advanced engine, then chain and reuse them as columns.
✔ Scatter chart mode - plot any stat on X vs any stat on Y to find hidden gems and outliers interactively.
✔ Position quick-filters - one click to isolate between positions.
✔ Advanced filter modal - build multi-condition criteria (e.g. "Finishing ≥ 15 AND CA ≥ 140 AND Club = Arsenal") with AND/OR logic.
✔ Grouped conditions - nest filter groups to express complex logic such as (A AND B) OR (C AND D).
✔ Relative filtering - filter on percentile thresholds (e.g. "top 10% for progressive passes among midfielders"), not just raw numbers.
✔ Field-vs-field filtering - compare one stat directly against another (e.g. xG vs actual goals) to surface over- and under-performers.
✔ Save and load layouts and filters - store your favourite column combinations and filter sets by name.
✔ Shortlists - flag and collect players into your own lists as you scout.
✔ Export CSV - send your filtered dataset to a spreadsheet in one click.
✔ Filter by club, league, minimum minutes played, position, gender, own-team exclusion, and retiring players.
✔ Player view with player comparison - view a radar chart of selectable statistics and a conversion funnel for evaluating player efficiency at a glance.

Player Profiles
Every player opens in its own tab with three sub-sections.

✔ Overview - full attribute grid across Technical, Mental, Physical, Set Pieces, Hidden, and Personality groups with colour-coded values. Positions displayed on a pitch map. Traits listed as tags. Toggle Goalkeeper attributes on/off.
✔ Contract - visual duration bar, weekly wage, contract type, squad number, loyalty bonus, agent fees, loan details (loan club, buy clause, monthly fee), and pre-agreed future transfers.
✔ Statistics - full season stats for the player's current campaign, with position-aware sections (outfield or goalkeeper layout).
✔ Position benchmark mini-profile - a quick read on how the player compares to the benchmark for their position.
✔ CA, PA, value, wage, contract expiry, squad number, international caps and goals - all visible in the header at a glance.
✔ Live toggle - enable 1-second live refresh on any player to watch attributes, fitness, and morale update in real time while you play.
✔ Player portraits and club logos loaded automatically from your FM graphics folder.

Club & Competition Profiles
✔ Clubs - balance, transfer budget, wage budget, total wage bill, max wage allowed, transfer revenue split, training facilities, youth facilities, youth coaching, youth recruitment, stadium, average attendance, ownership type, and morale.
✔ Competitions - full name, nation, continent, tier, reputation, competition type, and squad registration rules.

Instant Search
✔ Search bar always visible - results update as you type across all players, clubs, and competitions loaded from your save.
✔ Results open in separate tabs so you can compare multiple players or clubs side by side without losing your place.
✔ Smart tab navigation remembers your last scroll position and active sub-tab.

Quality of Life
✔ Save-change detection - FMST26 spots when you save or move the in-game date forward and refreshes its data automatically, so what you see always matches your save.
✔ Colour-blindness support - alternative palettes for the heatmaps and charts.
✔ First-run welcome guide and clear, actionable messages if a connection fails.
✔ Performance improvements throughout - faster memory loading and a smoother UI.

    Hello, first of all, thank you for this brilliant app – it makes the immersion in Moneyball absolutely INCREDIBLE.

    I was wondering, is there really no way to view stats from previous seasons? That way, I wouldn’t just have a sample of one or two matches at the start of the season.

    Thanks in advance

    burakakmanoglu - I've added this to the todo list. Might be a bit tricky since I haven't figured out exactly how roles work in memory.

    jarsen - To save the column view, you can give your view a name by entering text in the 'View name' box, then click the 'Save' button. Both of these features are at the right of the quick filter bar, above the statistics table.

    RPGFan - Thanks for confirming, I've updated the page accordingly

    fotisk7 - That's an interesting one - I haven't seen that before. I'd guess that you're right and that it might be a memory issue.

    milenec11 - I think I've identified the statistics radar (player polygon) bug, fix coming soon. I've also added the annual wage to the todo list too. For the second, my maths isn't great, but I believe what you're looking for is: (poss_won * 100) / (poss_won + poss_lost).

    Danny04 - Unfortunately, this is blocked by SI/SEGA's EULA policy which prohibits the export of data in this manner.

    First of all, thank you so much for this amazing app. I have a suggestion: would it be possible to add a “role” filter when searching for players? Being able to filter by role—or something similar—in the stats section would be great and make things much easier, of course, if possible <3
  • jarsen's avatar
    Salut, c'est vraiment top comme appli, comment faire pour sauvegarder la view des colonnes, car lorsque je relance l'application, les colonnes ont été réinitialisés..
  • RPGFan's avatar
    I can confirm this works on Epic store too thanks
  • fotisk7's avatar
    When the tool is caning the players it shuts down and closes. lack screen and off. Anything has to do wth the memory of my laptop? Thanks
  • milenec11's avatar
    And if is possible to add the settings to have the wage annually.
  • milenec11's avatar
    This is the most immersive app for fm26 i believe ever .
    You have the ability to make what ever you want . I have one or two things to say . First at the player polygon scheme we can add what stats we want but the GKs stats remain by default, we must have the ability to add remove like the rest stats . The second at custom stats (which is incredible idea and feature) it seems that the functions is not very clear . For example I want to make a custom stats to find the possession efficiency in % with that = (poss.W *100)/pos L but it not work . What kind of function works excel python ?
  • Danny04's avatar
    Hello I want to congratulate you this is a great tool. But it seems like it is not possible to export a csv with player attribute. I dont know if this is a bug but anyway great job
  • RPGFan's avatar

    @RezusRepublik - Sorry to hear about your save. On FMST's side, FMST doesn't corrupt/modify your saves - it only reads data from memory but never writes back to the game or to any save file. It's how the app is built at the OS level (it requests read-only access to the FM process, and there is no save-file access anywhere in the code). Even if it tried to write, Windows would block it.

    @Stonewall458 - I am looking into this. It'd just take some time to figure out the best way to do it for every single role. An alternative at the minute is creating your own using the Custom Metrics feature.

    @LeAlan - I'm afraid the tool is Windows only. Not sure if a Mac alternative exists elsewhere:

    @19Nigel64 - Thanks! Feel free to PM me explaining what you've attempted so far. The tool looks for config.xml files in the graphics folder that you've provided and uses that the assign portraits/logos properly.
  • RezusRepublik's avatar
    Hi,

    I just download it, and now all my saves are corrupted !!!
    I did nothing else, just add FMST, and my 5 seasons career is now in the garbage !!
  • LeAlan's avatar
    Hello, I am desperately looking for a tool of this kind that works on Mac; could you please help me?
  • Stonewall458's avatar
    Would it be possible to add some form of Role Scoring system? Something like what FM Data Lab or Genie Scout has, where it aggregates all the attributes for a given role into one number that says how good/bad a player is at that role. If it was customizable by the user that would be even better!
  • Fiflakovy's avatar
    I'm having trouble connecting FM ST to the game, does anyone know what can be done?
  • 19Nigel64's avatar
    Firstly I must congratulate you on a superb app.
    My problem is that I cannot get the graphics to upload into it?
    I believe I have done the exact way it tells you to upload them?
  • papa21's avatar
    @GfxJG - Nice workaround, I've seen some other tools do similar things, I'll look into it.
    @je674 - Unfortunately not present now but I've added this to the next update which will be coming next week.
    @dankrzyz - Also another nice feature. Looking to add this in the next update. Unfortunately, it's against the SI EULA to allow the export of this data so it'll be blocked from being exported in the CSV. Still visible on the in-tool table though.
    @rvwzas - Been thinking about this one myself. Should be possible, will look at adding it to the next update too.

    Hello mate, the app is great for moneyball etc. but could there maybe be ability to hide attributes just like we can hide CA/PA? It's just a bit annoying that it can like flash u when u click onto player's profile, even tho u might have someone not scouted
  • dankrzyz's avatar
    In the "Statistics" tab, it allows users to create custom views from all the stats in the game. Can you allow us to add ATTRIBUTES to those custom views?
  • je674's avatar
    Hi mate, love the app as it's perfect for my moneyball save I'm currently running. I do have one question, in the statistics screen, is it possible to filter by the player's world reputation in the advanced filter, or is that not available?
  • GfxJG's avatar
    @papa21: If I may make a suggestion from my own work - Can the memory-reader identify a shortlist, and the players on it? If so, maybe make the user do an intermediate step, of adding the "realistic signings" (just from search page) to a specific shortlist, and then having the app read that shortlist? It's a bit janky, but maybe?
  • papa21's avatar
    @griminald @John11R At the moment the tool doesn't work for Game Pass. I haven't got a Game Pass copy so I can't test and fix. If anything changes, I'll release an update and add support.

    @BobJones - I've just released a new update adding this as an option to the advanced filtering.

    @moschonitro - No Mac support for now, I'm afraid.

    @GfxJG - Early thoughts are that this would be really tricky to implement. Added it to the to-do list and will have a play around with it if I get some time.
  • griminald's avatar
    I have the same issue as John11R:

    The app successfully finds fm.exe and "connects" to it, but it doesn't load any players/clubs/competitions. It doesn't throw any errors, but it also doesn't load anything.

    I'm using the Game Pass version of FM26, but Genie Scout works fine with my version.
  • BobJones456's avatar
    Is there a way to exclude players on loan from search results? I'm trying to only include young players in the top 9 leagues but it keeps including players on loan from top 9 league clubs
