FAQs

What on earth is a Pizza Chart?

Based loosely on the Pizza Charts from The Athletic, this is a graph that shows how a player is performing compared to his peers.  Using a sample size of in-game FM data over multiple seasons across the Top 20 leagues (13,500 data points), you can now see how your players are performing as a whole and against their peers.  Shown as a percentile, in intervals of 5%.  This means if a player's bar is half way up, they are performing better than 50% of players in that position group.

N.B.  The comparison numbers are static.  They are based off the data pulled from multiple saves.  This does not adjust dynamically to data within your own save.

What on earth are Archetypes?

Using the same data from the Pizza Chart, archetypes are a quick snapshot of elite players - only assigned to those whose statistical performance is high across a number of areas.  Based loosely, once again, on an article from The Athletic.  Hover over the icon and it will give an explanation.  For example:
 

"Quarterback" is a midfielder who is regularly involved in possession and excels at progressing the ball and making key passes.  This means they have a combination of relatively high passes completed, progressive passes and key passes per 90 minutes compared to other central midfielders.

Staff archetypes are a little simpler, and based purely off attributes.  This identify areas where the staff member is elite.

How do I use the alternative colour schemes?

Copy the colour scheme you want into the [skin name]/settings folder.  Delete the existing [skin name] settings.xml file, and rename the one you copied over to [skin name] settings.xml.  Once done, reload the skin!

How do I change attribute ranges in Graphical versions?

You will need to edit classes/attribute_bar.xml.  Each range is defined as a min_value and max_value.  Edit these values to set the range you want, save the file, and reload the skin.

How do I change attribute range colours in Graphical versions?

You will need to edit settings/[skin name] settings.xml.  Search for "low attribute" and you will find a list of the colours used for each range.  These can be defined by naming a colour that appears earlier in the file (for example, "analyser4" has already been defined) or by adding a rgb value using the following format: rgb(#,#,#).  Once set, save the file, and reload the skin.

How do I add Instant Result button to the skin?

Bugs/Future Requests
If you notice any bugs/issues, please do get in touch, and I will see if they can be resolved.  One of the biggest challenges with light skins is identifying all instances of white text and finding a way to either change it, or put an appropriate background behind it.  I expect there will be some instances that I've missed, so please let me know!

Similarly, if you have any requests for future features, please let me know, although for full transparency I have no intention of adding any information pertaining to hidden information (CA/PA etc...)

I will add any known issues and requests below, and update with status where possible:

• I've added custom text to some pages which cannot be translated - this has only been done in areas where there isn't already an appropriate, existing string within the game files (no fix)

Usage Rights
