These are the FMDB's own figures over all 39 registered members of the primary team, not just the rows listed below; hover a figure for the population it was computed from. The wage bill is the sum of recorded contract wages, not an asserted payroll. This version's export records no game start year, so ages and the contract-expiry window cannot be computed. CA16 and PA16 are the means of the sixteen highest recorded abilities and potentials; a coded potential enters PA16 at its band's midpoint and the figure says how many did. Home-grown counts players whose person_trained_status names this club.

Best eleven

FMDB calculation
The FMDB's own selection: the highest recorded current ability per slot of the supplied 4-3-3, each player used once, and only where player_position.competency for that slot is at least 10. Mean ability of the eleven 127, from the 39 strongest squad members.

Every other club_finance row — loans, gifts and FFP totals — is listed by the source family loan_source_type gives it, with the amount's meaning on hover, rather than summed into a figure the source does not state.

A negative potential is a coded band rather than a fixed ability and is shown as the code it is, never ranked as a number.

Data wishlist for this page

20 data pointsWhole site
  • export_meta.game_start_year Season-start ages, under-21 count and this season's expiring contracts Now liveAges are taken at 1 July of the exported game start year and the expiry window closes on 30 June of the next; the convention is stated on every figure because no .dat database stores an in-game date. CSV-era versions carry no start year and say so.
  • player.current_ability, player.potential_ability over the squad CA16 and PA16 Now liveFMDB means of the sixteen highest recorded abilities and potentials in the primary squad; a coded potential is counted at its band midpoint (config/potential.php) and the figure says how many were.
  • player over club_squad_number Squad ability, potential, value and recorded wage totals Now liveFigures cover the whole primary-team squad with recorded-value coverage. League-relative ability stars are not implemented.
  • player.current_ability and player_position Best eleven Now liveFMDB selects eligible players for a fixed 4-3-3 from at most 60 candidates. Empty positions stay blank and a team average requires eleven filled slots.
  • person_trained_status, person_days_at_location Training days and home-grown squad status Partial exportThe squad table and the home-grown count show recorded trained-at-club and trained-in-nation relationships where the version exports them. Rule codes are not interpreted and training days are not shown; neither is a ruling on eligibility under a competition rule.
  • player.current_ability, player.potential_ability Squad member ability and potential Now liveThe squad table displays stored figures where recorded; coded potential is not a fixed ability.
  • player_history Squad appearances and goals for a named season Now liveThe page uses the latest season recorded for anyone in the squad, not an inferred last season relative to a game date.
  • player.potential_ability across the club teams Highest potential at the club Now livePlayers are deduplicated across the club teams. This is not an age-based wonderkid list.
  • club_finance, club_finance_source, club_finance_detail, club_director Balance, budgets, debt rows, embargo and directors Partial exportCash balance, basic loan debt, the embargo flag and directors are displayed, and every other finance row is listed by its loan_source_type family with the amount meaning on hover. Club valuation, a named owner, a financial-status label and a shirt sponsor are not established: owner type, financial state and income type are raw codes.
  • club_facility, club_server.training_ground_stadium_uid Youth facilities, recruitment, junior coaching and academy status Needs source dataOnly training_facilities is present in any version; the training ground is shown where club_server names one. A corporate revenue field is not a facilities rating.
  • club identity Club nickname Needs source dataThe current club catalog has no nickname column; a short name is not a nickname.
  • transfer_event, future_transfer, club_transfer_record Transfers and record signing or sale Exported; UI pendingCompleted FM24/FM26 events, agreed future moves and recorded club fee records now have separate tables. They are not integrated into this panel; incomplete or unknown fees cannot support complete net-spend totals.
  • club_link Affiliations and agreement terms Partial exportLinks in both directions are displayed with cost, dates, loan counts and wage share. link_type_id, flags and reasons have no lookup, so the relationship is shown as a code; club_partnership is a player-pair relation.
  • comp_history for every recorded club team Confirmed titles with competition and years Now liveThe honours calculation covers all recorded club teams, with edition and stage checks where available. nation_cup_history describes national-team tournament runs, not club cup coverage.
  • stadium Stadium capacity, build date, pitch dimensions, roof and owner Now liveThese fields are rendered where recorded. Pitch type and heating remain available source fields not shown in this club panel.
  • staff_history, staff_ability, staff_coaching Staff quality by recorded job Now liveFMDB computes role-specific attribute means with coverage thresholds; these are not stored scouting stars or a staff-subtype census.
  • club_supporter_profile, club_media_expectation Supporter loyalty, passion, patience, affluence, temperament, expectations and media prediction Now liveResearched FM23+ supporter values and the predicted league finish are displayed where exported; computed supporter-type percentages are deliberately absent.
  • derby Derby record and history Now liveRecorded results are oriented to this club; dates and reputation remain missing where unrecorded.
  • club across versions Reputation across versions Partial exportRaw reputation history is live. Squad value and average ability across versions are not implemented; reputation-scale integration is also pending.
  • club_kit, club_kit_part, kit_display_type, kit_style Kit seasons, parts and patterns Partial exportThe page shows legacy kit rows and colour slots. Modern exports now identify parts, goalkeeper kits and style lookups; drawings have not integrated them, and numbering differs by era.

Reviewed 30 September 2026 against the current schema and page implementation. “Now live” means implemented where data is recorded; “Exported; UI pending” means the schema has data this page does not yet use. Tables and coverage vary by version. Missing values stay blank.
