A skin built for English language and higher resolutions that aims to create a synergy between access to statistical analysis and creative panel design. Built for best results when viewed at 85% or 95% at 1920x1080 resolution with sidebar icons only.
Statman24 is my attempt at creating a skin fit for the fast moving pace of football analytics - offering built in metrics for team and player. Built to encompass three main profile areas for a player, you can dig into their performances, attributes and their statistical outputs.
With different screens available for players that you own, players that you don't and players without a club, I've tried to use the space as sensibly as possible, this time out opting for far more room across the skin.
Explore the hidden buttons on the profile (look for the change in cursor around the personal information!) and compare attributes and outputs with other players. Staff profiles follow a similar methodology.
Team stats are everywhere, with new panels and amendments to competition stats, allowing you - the manager - to really get a deeper understanding of how your team is matching up, especially against your next opponent, which is part of a re-modelled tactical area.
N.B. With the tactical area, you're currently unable to create a new tactic through the setup wizard - instead you'll have to load a preset (or an existing one) and amend from there. This is a continued task to re-implement...

Of course, this skin is free, but, if you wish to donate me the caffeine I crave to do this work, you can do so - here:Buy _Ben_ coffee
Feedback and Reporting Issues
I've put hundreds, if not thousands of hours into this work and I feel at a point now where I can release this feeling pretty confident that it's somewhere close to its final form.However, if you spot any bugs or issues, please can you let me know. I am more than happy to take ideas and brainstorm things with you but I won't be responding to 'show me how to change x to y' for example: as 90% of these will be about returning to numerical attribute values, which won't happen at all.
Report Issues on this thread
Likewise, the skin is built around older code in which I was unaware of the necessity of TranslationIDs and, as such, the skin is almost unusable in any language that isn't English. Again, I apologise for this but won't be offering translations nor will be allowing other people to translate and release any panels found within my skin created by me.Report Issues on this thread
Please do not use any of these panels in skins you plan to release without prior consent - most likely through a DM to me.

I dont know how that panel is called. Its In tactics screen -click player
I just registered because I wanna say I love this skin! I play on german and found a little issue. I could try and fix it myself... but I don't know where to look.
You can't set Player Instructions atm because the Button is hiding
Have a look
Other than that I like it
It's taken five versions to realise that this was due to my own error in the settings file! You can, however, change it just like you would with the normal position strength selector in Preferences.
I use 85% on 1080p fullscreen
I tried window mode with different zooms, but it only gets worse
And on the club view, the next fixtures are cut also
EDIT: Some other panels are also overlayed on the left side and/or cut on the bottom
Check your Windows settings. The skin is tested on 1920x1080 up to 100% and it all fits. The preferred zoom is 85% so things may be a little squashed but feels like this is an issue at your end
But I cannot find any hidden button? Moved the curser all around the personal information without luck? Seems silly to implement a feature, people cant see or find.
- Fixed staff profile to match, with buttons that show text breakdown of attributes
- Many other QoL fixes
Likewise, you have center backs who don't do anything wrong and end up with a similar 6.9 rating because the match engine doesn't have them tackle, sometimes 1 tackle per game if you're lucky.
Wingbacks get the most tackles and often most dribbles whereas the dm often has the most progressive passes, at least from my experience after 3 seasons so it does make things hard to fully understand imo.
I'm using this skin for the first time and while it's fantastic to focus on actual stats, it does make it hard because I'm focusing on youth players who actually don't have stats because they don't play and as you said Chicken_Gyroscope the stats and ratings don't always line up because of the way the match engine performs.
However, I'm puzzled by how players with high percentile performance stats consistently receive average match ratings below 7. There seems to be a disconnect between these two metrics, which makes the match engine appear somewhat limited in identifying high-performing players. This leaves me uncertain about which players to focus on: those with higher average ratings or those excelling in percentile performance. I hope future versions of FM match engines can address this.
All in all, I'm thoroughly impressed with what's being done here and look forward to seeing similar innovations. Keep up the fantastic work!
The only (incredibly minor) tweak I'd suggest would be to add exterior and interior photos on the stadium page for extra flavour, like some other skins have done.
Other than that tiny feature, I prefer this skin to pretty much any other skin I've used in FM.
I know I maybe make a silly point, but I do miss the stat panel I by a quick glance can see the main stats of say my strikers finishing, heading and so on. Numbers.. But i do love the skin
@LungZ: Check the newest screenshots. In particular the first 3 have changed.
