Every player in your save. One dossier each.

Search the whole game the way you think — by role, attributes, contract and price — then open any player to see everything about them on one screen: attributes, role fit in and out of possession, contract, form and career.

Everything about a player. And where it comes from.

Some of a dossier is read straight from your save. Some of it is FM Dossier’s own work on top. Some of it is yours. Pick a source to see which is which.

03Role suitability

Every FM26 role, in and out of possession.

FM26 gives each player one role with the ball and another without it. FM Dossier rates every player for all 40 in-possession and 39 out-of-possession roles at every position they can play.

What you see depends on

Full mode shows true values for every player.

Good to knowRole fit is FM Dossier’s own calculation from the player’s FM26 attributes — not FM’s star rating, which FM Dossier doesn’t read.
04Answer the question

Narrow it down. Then decide.

Three ways to turn a long list into a choice — the best ten for any filter, up to three players side by side, and how your players are developing.

Player search · Top 10
FM Dossier’s Top 10 board: position chips, then the best players for the current filter with position, age, nationality, current and potential ability, rating and value.

  • Optionally per position — best left-back under 21 in your league
Compare · Full
FM Dossier’s Compare in Full mode: three players side by side with ability, top role fit and value, and an overlaid radar.

Good to knowHistory starts when a player joins your club or a shortlist, and builds with each read.
05Shortlists

Shortlists that travel both ways.

Build lists in FM Dossier and send them to Football Manager — or bring your FM shortlists in.

  1. As many lists as you need

    Named lists per save. Add from any row, menu or dossier, select in bulk, or paste names or IDs.

  2. To and from FM

    Import an FM shortlist file (.fmf), and export your list back to Football Manager.

  3. Kept up to date

    Shortlisted players are tracked — their progression is recorded and a quick refresh updates them in seconds.

About the modes
Full

Every true attribute, with ability as a number.

Scout

Players you don’t own show ranges and gaps — as your scouts know them.

Moneyball

Output, efficiency and price — no attribute numbers.

06 · Good to know

How far to trust each number.

What Players reads, what it works out, and where the edges are.

Role fit is ours, not FM’s
FM Dossier’s own calculation from FM26 attributes and position familiarity. It won’t match FM’s star rating exactly.
“By default”
Key attributes count three times, Preferred once. You can re-weight any role, and role fit changes everywhere it appears.
Not in the calculation
Hidden attributes, personality, traits and form are not part of the default role fit.
Scout ranges
In player search and the player dossier, players you haven’t fully scouted show a range rather than an exact figure.
Where Scout ranges apply
In the current release, some other views — Compare among them — can still show exact figures for players you don’t own.
Filters still use true values
In Scout mode, filters rank on true values while showing only what you know.
Wonderkids uses potential
That one-click idea uses potential ability in every mode, not only in Full.
Reflects your last read
A quick refresh updates your squad and shortlists only. Players no longer in the save are tagged “Gone”.
