This is the first version of its game, so there is no earlier database in the same game to compare with. 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.

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.

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

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.

Nearest recorded attribute profiles among 107 players in Italian Serie A within 15 current ability, compared on the attributes both record. Not a whole-database search. The match is the mean absolute difference over those attributes expressed against the 1–20 scale; an attribute only one of the two records is left out rather than counted as a gap of fourteen.
