Several months ago during the release of the BETA, I released a skin called FME (Football Manager Enhanced) which was intended to be an extension of what Sports Interactive provide as opposed to a complete overhaul. I intended to keep everything in keeping with the default look and feel of the game for a more seamless integration and ease of use.
Upon release of FME, I received some wonderful feedback from users and fellow modders, though with limited time I was unable to keep up with demand for extra features/bug fixes etc. Having gained more time over the past month, I have rebuilt FME and have stripped it back for the sake of simplicity.
Football Manager Enhanced - v3.0
If you're familiar with FME, you may be sad to learn that this version of the skin is currently only a Player Overview panel with little or no modding elsewhere. I have taken a quality over quantity approach and perhaps with more time in the future, I'll be able to rebuild the club page that I originally built. I have discovered several things that have never before been done and it would be nice to reveal them in a future update. For now though, FME is an upgraded default skin with an enhanced Player Profile.
Transfer/Scouting Labels
Player profiles show Dynamic Transfer Labels which change with context. When a player has been scouted, the "Transfer" labels are replaced with the "Transfer Interest" labels, better integrating the scout report with the player profile and giving you a quick idea of how much a player might cost.
Transfer Actions
Transfer actions are available directly from the Scout Feedback Block via a dropdown menu. Additionally, clicking on the Scout Rating Circle, or indeed any of the Transfer Labels will take you directly to the full Scout Report.

Touch versions of the game present different attribute colours which I have modified and introduced into FME. Red highlights low attribute values, Yellow for moderate values, Blue for good values and Green for excellent values. Foot strength is of course also present underneath the Physical Table. Additionally, I have implemented a better Player Information block which I believe provides all of the essential basic information required when viewing a player.
Additional Tabs
In addition to the default Attributes tab, I have made several other tabs available which I have optimized to function in a much smaller space. Player Information, Contract Information, Transfer Information/Status, Player Report, Medical Report & History are all available to access directly from the Player Overview.
Feel free to download FME v3.0 and perhaps even use it purely as a standalone Player Overview Panel within another creators skin.
August 2021 Update
Work has kept me from being able to properly update anything else within the game and as such there is unlikely to be any more updates for FM 2021. However, due to the overwhelming positive response, I will be sure to make several key updates for FM 22. I have flagged several things within the game which I could definitely update somewhat to make the overall experience a lot more useful and I will hopefully have the time to incorporate those additions in future releases.
Football Manager Enhanced - v2.4
FME had decided to step away from the FM community at the time and it was uncertain if he'd ever return. I asked him to keep the last version of the skin here because a lot of people enjoyed using it, and he agreed. However, we can't offer support for any technical inquiries you might have. Thanks for understanding!

DOWNLOAD OPTIONS

Download v2.4
The v2.4 downloadable pack includes 2 versions of the skin.
- FME (Regular)
- FME Dark
RESOLUTION & SCREEN SIZE
FME v3.0FME adapts better than before to smaller resolutions. If you have a very low res screen (1024x768), you'll have a slightly limited experience as there simply isn't enough space to display all the required elements. However, stepping up to 1600x900 and 1920x1080, you have a fuller experience with greater functionality as per the images below.
FME v2.4
- Resolutions from 1024 x 768 to 1920x1080 are fully supported.
- If you are at 1920x1080 but not getting the "Full Experience" it is because you are not scaled at 100%. At 1920x1080 on small screens, Windows scales your screen to 125% which gives you less screen space but makes elements easier to see/read. Change this to 100% in Display Settings and you will receive the "Full Experience".
- To get the most out of this skin, you must have at least 1000 pixels vertically and 1600 pixels horizontally, though unlike all other skins, this skin will not break, have squashed elements or become unusable below its recommended resolution.
How to install the FME FM21 Skin
- Download the .zip archive and use a tool such as 7-zip for Windows or The Unarchiver for MacOSX to extract its contents.
- Move the extracted folders to your skins folder:
\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\skins\ - Run Football Manager 2021 and go to Preferences > Interface.
You should see "FME" and "FME Dark" as options in the skin drop down of the General options section.
Hit the Confirm button.
Please note this skin is provided as is. It has nothing to do with Sports Interactive or SEGA and won't be supported by them.

Update hört sich sehr gut an :-) leider ist nicht jeder ein Experte mit Files hin und herschieben :-) Logos, Kits und Spielerbilder habe ich geschafft.
Gibt es eine genaue Anleitung wo ich die extrahierten Ordner hinschieben muss???
Vorhanden sind die Ordner: classes, fonts, graphics, panels und skin_config
Danke vorab für eure Hilfe
@quovadis There is but it is not something I wish to add as it is technically cheating. You can see a players Current Ability and Potential Ability in the Comparison Panel, in the form of stars. Sorry I can't be of more use.
Thanks.
And also the colours in the team dynamics, where the negative aspects and the social groups are all with an orangish colour?
Thank you, and congrats on all the great work with the skin.
@pezzahawkins I have updated the skin so that even on smaller screens you will now see more staff, more kits and you will have the option to see the Stadium by using the dropdown panel on the right.
@gate13 I will look into it, though I personally prefer skins that retain a modicum of their clean aesthetic. Too many pictures here and there and things become cluttered and remove the focus away from the data and information which is of the utmost importance.
@Shefeld Hammer The kit issue has been sorted.
@theonlyen Foot strength (both feet and preferred foot) has been added in the update.

Current ability + Potential in player screen. I think you only have current ability right now.
1. Faces in tactics screen
2. Role ability circles in tactics screen
3. Current ability + Potential in player screen. I think you only have current ability right now.
4. Player screen you can probably combine the Pros/Cons sections and the Value/Asking price sections and maybe that'll open up enough space for another selectable box where you can put something else like Training, Progress, Fitness, Contract, etc.
5. Club info screen maybe add the stadium seating capacity somewhere and potentially shrink some of the smaller boxes (squad status, injuries, contract expiration dates) to allow you to squeeze in league history? I know you have one customizable box but 2 would be better ;-) Small nitpicks either way.
6. I'm using the sortitoutsi mega backgrounds + stadiums pack. Right now the skin only shows the top 3rd of the background and fades to a solid color towards the bottom. Is it possible to have it more transparent or better yet have a selectable opacity? I used the FM2020 Flut Skin 1.7 in fm2020 and it has a background selector with transparency option. Idk how difficult that is.
Sorry for the lengthy post and sorry again, I know some of those have already been mentioned! FYI I'm on a 24" screen and bounce between 100% and 110% zoom because some of the text gets a little hard to read esp if you have long player names on 100% @ 1920x1080. Love and appreciate all the hard work you've already put in this!
I wish I could see the observer report from the player profile
