What is inside

Six tools, one save file

Everything comes from your own save. Nothing is typed in by hand, and the app never changes your game.

01

Save challenges

Pick a goal, lock it in, and the app tracks it every save.

 02

Match coach

A plan for the next match: what to change, why, and what it costs.

 03

Team performance

Your season in plain words, against every team in your league.

 04

Find players

Every player scored for the role you play, with a price check.

 05

Transfer plan

Plan A, B and C for each position that fit your budget.

 06

Squad review

Who to keep, sell or loan, shown on your own formation.

The problem

Most saves die by season three.

You win the league, the squad is set, and the game stops asking anything of you. Self-made challenges help, until you forget the rules or quietly bend them.

FM Gaffer writes the rules down, checks them in every save, and tells you when you broke one.

Without FM Gaffer

  • Challenge rules live in your head
  • Tactics changed on gut feeling

  • Spreadsheets and CSV exports

With FM Gaffer

  • Rules checked from your save, every time
  • Every change comes with a why and a cost
  • Players scored on this season's numbers
  • Point it at your saves folder once

01 · Save challenges

Challenges your save keeps you to

Choose a ready-made challenge, pick Easy, Normal, Hard or Legendary, and lock it in. Every newer save updates the tracker by itself: Done, Live, Last chance or Failed. Sign a 30-year-old in a youth save and it tells you.

  • Academy only
  • Moneyball
  • Local heroes
  • Sleeping giant
  • Underdogs
  • Kids first
  • The old guard
  • Small squad
  • The climb
  • Invincibles
  • Trophy haul

Or build your own: any trophies, each within a number of seasons. Then share a card of your run.

02 · Your tactic, explained

Learn why, not just what

It reads the tactic you saved and your team's numbers, then says in plain words what to change before the next match. Each change shows what it does, why, what it costs, and the number to watch at half-time.

  • A match plan against your next opponent
  • Checks whether your team plays the way your tactic asks
  • Your season in four plain sentences
  • Coaching advice, not a cheat: it never reads hidden attributes

03 · Scouting on real numbers

Every player, scored for your role

Every player in your save gets a score for the role you play him in, based on his match stats this season and adjusted for the strength of his league. Then it checks the price against similar players.

  • Strengths and weaknesses per 90 minutes
  • BUY, WATCH or AVOID with the reason next to it
  • Compare any target with the player in your shirt

04 · Transfers and squad

A plan for every window

It finds the weakest spots in your formation and gives you a Plan A, B and C for each one that fit your budget. Your squad page shows who to keep, sell or loan out, on your own pitch.

  • Targets must beat your player and have the minutes
  • Budget left after every planned signing
  • Mark players as bought or sold before the save catches up

FAQ

Questions

Does it change my save or my game?

No. It only reads the save file. It never writes to your game, never reads the game's memory and never shows hidden attributes.

Where does my save go?

Nowhere. The app runs in your browser and reads the file on your own computer. Your save is not uploaded.

Which browsers work?

Chrome or Edge on a Windows or Mac computer. They can open a folder on your PC, which the app needs to read your saves. Firefox and Safari cannot do that yet, and phones are not supported.

Do I need an account?

No. The trial starts the first time you open the app. When you buy, you get a licence key by email and paste it into the app.

What happens after the 3 days?

The app asks for a licence key. Nothing is charged automatically, because we never ask for a card during the trial.

Does it work with FM26 or older games?

No. This edition is built for Football Manager 27 saves.

Where do I get help?

Join the FM Gaffer Discord. Ask in #help, report bugs in #bug-reports, and share your save challenges with other players.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of buying. See the refund policy.

Your next save starts with a challenge.

Three days, everything open, on your own save. No card.
