FMLE Features

FMLE26 is a fully featured real-time editor with a scouting edge. It's fast, clean, and focused on what matters. The scouting features are simple but super useful. For more advanced scouting, I recommend Genie Scout 26.

Here's an overview of the key features.

Smart Edit History

The first FM Editor with a "Pending & Undo" system; a unique feature designed for peace of mind.
✔ Fields you change get a red border (pending), while those you save get a green border (applied).
✔ Edit History page shows everything you have edited in your current session.
✔ Made a mistake? You can remove pending changes or undo applied edits instantly.

Clean & Easy Interface

I've focused on Quality of Life features that save you time.
✔ Editing should be fast and simple with click and drag fields wherever possible.
✔ Search works as live filtering and enables you to find any player, staff or club from your save instantly.
✔ Smart Navigation that remembers your last position and tab.

Powerful Search & Filters

The Advanced Search is a high-speed engine built directly into the editor, and it is 100% free for everyone.
✔ Find exactly who you need with powerful filters that go beyond the basic game.
✔ See critical data directly in your search results, which is ideal for quick scouting while you play.

What can you edit (License Required)

Human Managers
Become unsackable, register squad at any time, and change your manager stats.
Players & Staff
Attributes (can freeze them too), CA/PA, reputation, positions, traits, personal info, and more.
Clubs
Edit finances, upgrade facilities, tweak stadium details and change kit colors.
Contracts
Edit wage, dates, clauses and bonuses, move to other club, cancel loans and future transfers.
Instant Fixes
Heal injuries, fix fitness, remove bans, boost morale. Plus mass edit for teams.

Whenever there's a new official patch out, I'll do my best to update FMLE asap.
