The toolkit

Turn data into decisions.
Players, tactics and staff.

More than attribute editing: explore your squad’s strengths, compare candidates and plan staff renewals using your local save.

Edit and preview

The player workspace contains Edit, In-game preview, Comparison and History. Change supported data, copy names or IDs and check the game-scale presentation.

DataPresentation
AttributesRaw 1–100 scale when editing; 1–20 in the preview.
CA / PACurrent and potential ability read from the save.
PositionsFamiliarity and pitch layout.
Date of birthEditable only when located without ambiguity.

Bars and colours help show values and attribute importance for the selected position. Saving creates a new copy of the file.

Compare two players

Select two names with Ctrl+click, then use quick comparison in the right-click menu. This works in search, your squad and the best-by-position or best-by-tactic lists.

The position report highlights strengths and limitations. Opened players are also added to the comparison list, so you can return to a candidate without searching again.

Squad, roles and best XI

Filter the first team, a subteam or all club players. Rank candidates for positions and named roles, including two positions at once. Set the number of results in Options; the default is 10.

In Best by tactic, choose a slot for the in-possession and out-of-possession phases. The best XI considers the whole squad: a player who excels in two positions receives only one slot to allow the best overall combination.

Future rankings and best XI use estimated development based on age, CA, PA and current attributes. Individual peaks may happen in different years, so this is not a lineup forecast for a single date.

Track development

View several attributes together, select position presets and read values and dates in hover details. Where available, internal history uses samples in the file; reconstructed dates remain labelled as such.

Compare up to 20 saves from the same career. Historical CA comes from those observations at their actual in-game dates; missing CA values between samples are not invented.

Find staff and plan renewals

View attributes and training stars side by side. Search by job or training category, filter estimated interest or show the best overall. Youth-team searches can prioritise staff already working in subteams.

Staff planning filters by job, squad and expiry, compares stronger alternatives and opens a matching search. CA/PA, stars and attribute comparisons help assess renewal options.

Stars, suitability, development and interest are editor estimates. Staff can be viewed but not edited. Creating players, transfers, tactic editing and live game attachment are not available.

New in v16.2.0

Staff search now recovers no-club profiles on the new build. Choose Any and set Results to 0 for all matching candidates. French and German are selectable partial translations with English fallback.
