Where the managers are from
Reading the numbers
- Figures are shown as this build of the game database stores them. A dash means the build does not record the value; zero is a real stored zero.
- Players often have attributes missing: the game generates those when a new game starts, so they are not in the database.
- Ability is on FM’s 1–200 scale. A negative potential is a range code (e.g. −75), shown as its range.
- Anything marked calc is calculated by fm-reader from the stored data (values, ratings, best roles, stars). Figures described as the site’s own (strength, best eleven, set-piece scores, similar players) are this site’s calculations.
- Names are real names; where the game ships a licensing name, pages say “Shown in game as …”.
- Money is stored in pounds; pick a currency in the header to convert it in your browser.

Known data issues in this build
- real_* name columns: no Real Name Fix was given to this export, so names the database itself fakes (e.g. Real Hispalis for Real Betis) keep real_* NULL; only names faked by the game's shipped licensing files have their real name (issue 0726)
