15–2011–146–101–5Not recorded▲ ▼ change across versions

Change against FM18 Release, the previous version of this game. A value the earlier database did not record is marked newly recorded, not an increase from zero. A + marks a value this version records and the earlier one does not; a ! marks a stored value outside the 1–20 scale, which is left unsubtracted.

Best roles

FMDB calculation
Best roles for the strongest position
Role Duty Suitability
———

The FMDB's own figure, not a game scouting star: the weighted mean of the recorded attributes for each role, on the source's own 1–20 scale, with a role's key attributes counted 2× its preferable ones. Roles are offered only for positions with a recorded competency of at least 10, and a role scored from under 70% of its attributes is withheld rather than published from a handful of values.

Ability and reputation are stored on the game's internal scale, which runs to about 200, and shown unchanged; the stars in the header are that figure out of five. Personality and media handling are Football Manager's own labels, calculated at game start from the stored hidden attributes by the enriched overlay; a dash is a blank hidden attribute the game fills at random.

Fantasy-draft value
£209,800

These are Football Manager's game-start calculations from the stored data, ported from the game's own rules by the enriched overlay (method in each value's tooltip), not stored values. The potential band is the game's range for a coded potential and the expected potential the mean of the game-start draw; the fantasy-draft value is the game's draft formula, not the in-game transfer value. A dash means the rule had no input to work from in this version.

Caps, goals, previous nations, debut and first goal come from person_international_record where the version exports it; debut and first-goal dates are decoded in FM24 and rarely elsewhere. Versions without the table show senior caps from the player row only. Eligibility lists the nations person_nationality marks eligible-for. No export establishes youth-level records. Missing fields stay blank.

Honours

Partial export

FM24 exports achievements with event codes and date precision in starting_person_history and starting_person_history_date. Other versions remain unsupported, and this panel still needs validated event interpretation. A club spell during a winning season does not prove a personal medal.

One row per season as the export recorded it. A transfer fee is shown where a figure was stored; where the source recorded only a sentinel — "Undisclosed fee", "Unknown fee" — that sentinel is printed instead. A fee of zero is a fee of zero, not a missing one.
