Yes, you can host it on an external hard-disk or pen-drive. Just change the user data folder from within the in-game preferences

I can't load my FM at the moment, but the section should look something like the screenshot below, which I found online:

Obviously, the folder should be the one which you want it to be

Hello,

You can try this

How to change the Sports Interactive folder location [Universal]


To change the location of your Sports Interactive folder which contains save games, graphics and other files you need to add a command line to the game launch options.


To do this follow the instructions below:


- First of all create the folder in the location you want it to be
- Go into Steam and right-click on the game.
- Select 'Properties'
- Click 'Set Launch Options...'
- Copy the following into the dialogue box: --user_data_location="path"
- In the "path" section, enter the exact path where you created your folder.


The next time you launch the game, your Sports Interactive files will be saved to this folder.

From Sigames forum official.

Hope that it works in this way, because I'm not at home to test myself, I will do it later today.
