Data-Driven Player Recruitment

Hi all 👋

I've been developing an Football Manager Role Scoring web-app to aid in player recruitment for the past few months, called FMDataLab. 

FMDataLab uses player attribute data exported from views in your Football Manager save to calculate each exported players' proficiency for each role with a score out of 20, to help you make informed transfer & squad decisions. 

I've just released my first update that includes some new features!

I have the first video below, detailing some of the inner workings and how you can use FMDataLab as part of your player recruitment strategy.

I also have the following video that highlights all the new updates to FMDataLab

You can visit FMDataLab on the following URL https://www.fmdatalab.com/ 

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! 

Hope you all have a great day!

This looks pretty impressive. I've signed up so will check it out

Hey this is really cool @FMDataLab ! I've always wanted to have the time to try and build something like this myself, I know it must have taken alot of work.

How long did it take you to make and what source did you use for the weightings?

Apologies for the late reply.

Thanks!

I started working on FMDataLab at the end of September 2023, I probably worked on average 2-3 hours most evenings up until the Christmas, had a break over most of January before releasing at the end of March 2024, but I'm not done yet, I have released a number of new features over the past couple of months, the last set of features just released yesterday.

For the weightings it's a mix of the “ykykyk” ratings for each position from genie scout and applying those only to the key & preferred attributes for each role.

I briefly go over my method in this video if you're interested to learn more 🙂
