- I am loathe to engage in hyperbole, but this just might be the most radical FM skin ever. Introducing Mustermann Iconic - a pseudo-attributeless skin which completely changes the way you interact with FM.

WHAT IS A PIZZA CHART?
theathletic.com/2746113/2021/... (requires subscription)
In simple terms, it’s a chart showing a high level view of how often a player performs a specific action and how that ranks when compared to their peers. The bigger the slice, the higher the player ranks. A player in the 90th percentile for a category means they perform that action more than 90% of other players.
The pizza chart is calculated at 5% intervals, and each concentric circle represents a 20th percentile. It is based loosely on the above article from The Athletic, adapted to work with the metrics available within FM.
I have analysed 26,000 players playing more than 900 minutes in the Top 20 domestic leagues, breaking down each metric by position. Due to limitations this means the underlying data is static. For example, an Attacking Midfielder who completes 4 dribbles per game will always be ranked in the 90th percentile, even if at that exact moment in your game world there may in fact more or less players better than them.
The same metrics are used for each position (except goalkeepers) to enable you to understand the tactical profile of a player. Forwards will be involved in a defensive capacity, and defenders will be involved in an attacking capacity, and understanding how a player compares in his position in all aspects of the game is important.
WHAT IS AN ARCHETYPE?
theathletic.com/3473297/2022/... (requires subscription)
An archetype is another high level view of whether a player is elite at a particular combination of actions. An archetype will become active when their statistical output meets the threshold to mark them out as special at their position
They are based loosely on the above article from The Athletic, refined into fewer archetypes and adapted to work with the metrics available within FM. This utilises the same analysis from the pizza chart, and is once again static.
For example, a Quarterback is a midfielder who is above the 60th percentile in passes completed, progressive passes and open play-key passes. As a combination, roughly only 10% of players will meet this criteria.
WILL YOU MAKE A "NORMAL" VERSION WITH NUMERICAL ATTRIBUTES?
No. Sorry.
HOW DO I CHANGE THE COLOUR SCHEME?
Included in the download is a folder called Mustermann Iconic Alt Files. Inside here are the 12 colour schemes supplied. Simply choose a scheme you want and copy the file into the Mustermann Iconic/settings folder. Once done, delete the file “Mustermann Iconic settings” and rename the copied file to “Mustermann Iconic settings”. Inside FM, reload the skin, turning off caching.
If you want to set your own Colour Scheme, you will want to edit lines 214-241 inside the aforementioned file, using a text editor such as Notepad. Colours are defined as RGB values. I heartily recommend using colordesigner.io/color-palettes if you need help deciding on a palette.
USAGE RIGHTS
This skin is completely free for personal use, but may not be sold or placed behind a paywall. If you plan on using the skin publicly, or repurposing a unique element for your own released skin, you must provide credit and a link to this post.
DONATIONS
If, for whatever reason, you are so enamoured with this skin you want to send me a coffee, feel free to donate via PayPal: www.paypal.com/donate/?busine.... I would like to stress there is no obligation whatsoever!

Korean Ver. PLZ !!!
@@user-pz3ki8ez5j The majority of the skin will automatically translate to Korean. Where there is custom text, I will not be translating these as I do not speak any languages other than English. If users want to provide translations, I will then include them in future downloads, as has been done with French (translated by Feria), Czech (translated by VonTripps) and Portuguese (translated by Herr Jones).
It is not just the quality of the skin itself, but the community supporting aspect. In a world when most people on the internet and companies try to monetize everything and would sell their mother for a plus click or ad, you honestly just made the past 5 years biggest improvement on FM for free. And giving credits for the original authors of the parts of the skin and linking the "competition". You just restored my faith in humanity today, a much needed after feeling down, so a big THANK YOU! We need more people like you to make the FM community or general just the world a better place.👍
Thank you very much.
I firmly believe that if we work to build one another up, everyone flourishes. I also say this fully aware that my skin and my YT channel tends to be catered more to a niche, so maybe I don't get drawn into the "competition" nature to begin with. All I can do is try and lead by example, and hope that others follow!
Wowzers. That's just a completely new level of skinning. Well done, Sir! 👏👏👏
And thank you for promoting our skin within your skin. That's beyond nice from you 🙂
Danke, sire!
Thank you everyone for your patience, and I hope you'll enjoy the skin as much as I do!! If you come across any issues or what to make suggestions please do so in the comments, or head on over to the SI Forums!
Also, there appears to be approximately 10 seconds of blank screen at 14:46. Not sure what happened there!!
This is the single best thing to happen to me in all my years of playing FM. Thank you, sir.
Those are very kind words indeed. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
From the idea, to the work, to the final result... simply an incredible skin. I bow down to you. 🙌🏻
Thank you, dude. Although, there's a skin in the bottom right at about 13:00 that looks pretty damn sexy, too!
@@mustermannfm 🫶
incredible work. thank you so much for all the hours you put into this 👏👏👏
Thank you for your support, and if you give it a go, I hope you enjoy it!!
This should be officially implemented in the FM as a skin option. Awesome. When I see Jonukas commenting, I have to ask if the skin also works with other languages than english?! And by that I mean german, cause I haven't seen it in the credits. @@mustermannfm
@@hawu22 so there are a couple of bits that won't work in German. Specifically the "Archetypes", as there aren't suitable existing translations for those phrases already in the game. There may be a couple of other areas, but these are places where the words are mostly there for cosmetic reasons - you don't miss anything important by it not being translated.
There is also an issue with player instructions popup - your German words are too long! There is a fix for that already - just the follow the instructions here: twitter.com/MustermannFM/status/1729411817217151387
Fantastic work, I'm definitely an attribute less convert. On the match itself, what's the deal with feedback from the coach during the game? Some skins have it, others don't, sure someone said the main game is doing away with it anyway. Doesn't seem to pop up on yours unless I'm wrong. Cheers mate
@@alexathegreat15 the feedback appears during the game in the usual place, and then there is an archive of it in the tablet under the "Advice" tab. I have definitely noticed some games where there isn't much feedback given. And others, where the Assistant Manager won't shut up 😂
I have been looking forward for this! Great job again mate, thank you for your effort
No worries - I just hope it lives up to expectations!!
I already fell in love!!! @@mustermannfm
So much useful info right on the pages and I love the way to get more info by clicking to open boxes.
Cannot wait to try this.
Really great work!!
Thank you very much. I do love buttons!
Fantastic Work. It is like a different game. Well done and thank you for all your hard work.
That's very kind. Thank you!
This absolutely great. Unbelievable work from you. Every year you push it on a next level. Very inspiring…
Thank you very much. Just 12 months to wait to see what next year brings!
This is an absolute game changing skin! Well done 👏
Found your channel on my RUclips recommendations. Really enjoying the content
Welcome! A pleasure to have you onboard, and glad you're enjoying things so far. I hope it continues!!
This is an amazing job!! I am really impressed and cant wait to try it out! It really stands out lot of important aspects of players and switches your focus to other things and not just to the attributes. Thank you very much for that!
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it. I expect it will take a little getting used to, though!
Good god this is perfect , I’ve been searching for a skin which makes next opposition reports/info more easily available. Putting it in the tactics screen is a masterstroke - thanks for your work on this
Fantastic job mate. Love your work and I appreciate the work you have put into this to put that personal touch on it!
Thank you very much, dude.
Amazing!! Fantastic work!! Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it!
wowwww this is incredible. i’m sure it’ll take some getting used to but i’m looking forward to applying this to my game first thing tomorrow. incredible work thank you
Glad to hear it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. It does take a little bit of getting used to, but genuinely find the whole approach so liberating.
hi there! It's an spanish FM podcast here so glad to finally see the result of your great work! we're ready to change the game
¡Gracias! Keep up the good work yourself!!
Unreal, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. You set the bar time and time again, long may it continue mate. ❤
You are always such a gentleman. Thank you again!
Amazing work mate! This is literally the best skin ever. Hats off to you...
Thank you kindly. I'll never accept the statement "best ever" as there's so many amazing skins out there, but I'm certainly happy with it and appreciate the kind words.
Who's that good looking bald guy at 12:36?
All jokes aside, what an amazing skin from an amazing creator! Sharing the love with the community is a class act, let alone creating a literal game changer!
He is a handsome fella, isn't it!!
Appreciate the love, dude ❤
WOW. This is amazingly impressive. I can't wait to use this
Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Recording a video at 4am, what a boss. Will definitely be giving this skin a try on my LLM save. Looks incredible.
I have a weird sleeping pattern. Sleep early evening, up around midnight. That way I get to do the things I enjoy whilst I've still got energy...and then finish the day with work.
very cool of you to cite the sources of your inspiration. big respect
For those within the FM community, I will always believe that it's important to lift everyone up. And also, should you not like the skin as a whole, but like certain parts, it's useful to know where they might have come from. It might just lead you to the skin that you want!
For those outside the FM community, I think it's good to know where the ideas come from, and they'll be able to write about it far more concisely than I'll ever be able to!!
Love the tactics screen, such a wonderful addition for me
Thank you very much! It's interesting that SI have incorporated something similar in the Match Prepartion screen for training, so I'm keen to see if there's more possibilities there for future updates.
This is legendary. Many thanks!
Thank you kindly!
This is the cleanest and most polished skin I've seen. Sadly I'm very new to FM and I'm afraid of playing without exact attributes to begin with. When I master the game more I will definitively use it.
The newer you are, the better. You've not yet formed a dependency on attributes!!!
Joking aside, it is definitely best to get familiar with the game before exploring the more niche sides.
Amazing skin, really love how clean looking it is, awesome design. Top work!
Thank you very much!!
Incredible work! I will for sure give this a go. TY.
It can be a steep learning curve, but a really fun way of playing the game differently!
SO clean, amazing work!
Thank you kindly 🙏
This is amazing - thank you!!
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it!
Absolutely phenomenal work, and really great video
Appreciate the love, dude - and sending it right back to ya ❤
Great work on the skin! Hopefully when I have more time I can sit down and utilize it, but design is beautiful and love the statistics.
Thank you kindly, sir!
This really show you how important the game's community really is for the success and longevity of a game. SI would not have all the resourses and manpower to make FM as in depth as this wihout people like Mustermann.
Thank you,
Thank you very much.
And absolutely; a lot (not all) of games live and die by their community, not just in terms of creation but also support and attitude. FM's community is fantastic!
"SI would not have all the resourses and manpower to make FM as in depth as this"
....
"Sega Sammy Holdings has a market cap or net worth of $3.17 billion as of November 27, 2023. Its market cap has increased by 12.00% in one year."
I'm definitely looking forward to trying this skin .
great job
Hope you enjoy it. Might take a little getting used to if you haven't played attributeless before, but once you get going it's liberating!
Absolutely GOATED Skin I'm never going back to any other skin thank you so much
Thank you 🙏 glad you're enjoying it so far!
Dude, you've done it again!
Like everything you put out and upload to the channel, it is of a higher level.
Without a doubt this is a real gamechanger.
Thank you for this!
P.S. I haven't had much time lately, but I watched the intro of your video "Ajax, everything or nowt" and...I think you've done it again!! he he
Really appreciate the support, dude 🙏
Got a few updates I need to make to the skin after the patch last week, and then looking forward to getting my teeth into my proper FM24 save.
Dream pretty! Our eyes will be eager to follow up on that content 😉✌🏽
This is incredible. SI should take note for FM 25 because this is what it should be from a UI perspective.
Kind words, thank you!
I will say that whilst the base FM interface gets a lot of flak, it's actually quite incredible. 1) To be as adaptive as it is to so many resolutions, and 2) to keep barrier of entry to the game reasonably low, considering just how much information is in the game. If the base interface didn't exist, I wouldn't be able to do this - because this skin can only exist in a world where something more universal is available. by default.
Best skin last year, couldn't wait to use it again. Great work, congrats
Thank you for your kind words, and hope you enjoy it again this year!
Incredible, the best skin I've seen in 5 years of fm. Thank you.
Very kind words, thank you 🙏
Oooh, why didn't I see this yesterday? Will be downloading this evening 😎
Great to hear. Hope you enjoy it, and it's an improvement on last year's offering!
Fantastic, been patiently waiting for your skin for fm 24. I can now begin playing my career 🫡
Oh no. I'm sorry to keep you waiting! I hope it lives up to expectations.
Wow. Congrats on an unreal skin. So, so impressive. The only thing I would love is some coloured tint to the screens depending on who I manage. I love the feel of the game changing (just a little bit) when I move a club. But that's a minor point in something which is as bold and innovative as this.
Thank you.
As mentioned in the video, blame FC Augsburg!! Unfortunately anywhere that has text, club colours can cause problems - but I've kept it in on the Club Info/News/Vision pages and incorporated it into team sheets (well, technically it's the kit colour for team sheets) so there's little bits here and there.
Amazing work! This has almost made FM a new game!
Thank you, sire!
Fantastic skin, I’m gonna give it a try today. Never used a skin that got rid of numbered attributes, always been slightly nervous about doing so, but I’ll try this one out.
What's the worst that can happen!? You give it a try, and decide it's not for you. No harm, no foul.
this is so freaking awesome, well done man
Very kind words, thank you!
This is crazy... just wonderful...!!!
I've been playing FM/CM since around CM2 and this is probably one of the best skins I've ever saw for the game. The flow, the details, the style is just perfect.
Unfortunately I've been playing that long I can't get my head around playing without attributes it hurts my 40 year plus brain 😂 none the less the skin and the work you've put in kudos.
Ironically, I think that's the exact reason I'm drawn to this approach. After 20 years of playing FM, I've got attribute fatigue. Numbers have lost all meaning 😂
My body is ready for this!
Thank you very much, dude. Appreciated as always!
You sir, are a king amongst men.
You are too kind! Thank you.
Hey Mustermann.
Just finished watching your video. This is absolutely brilliant. I fell completely out of love with the game a while back but this makes me want to play again! The attribute ratings have for instance always bothered me. This makes the game much more realistic. That’s what I want, realism. I am working on finishing my masters degree right now but as soon as I’m done I will give this skin a try. Thank you. I can’t wait.
First - good luck with your Masters!!!
Secondly, that's great to hear. I completely understand what you mean about falling out of love. It is very easy for a game based on a sport that barely changes over time to get stale!!
@@mustermannfm thank you! And I want to add that all the details, the little things that you have improved with your skin seem like such quality of life improvements… it’s going to feel like a new game and big upgrade, I’m sure. Two months to go!
Also, SI should just hire you. At least as a consultant!
@@mustermannfm Update: Thesis turned in yesterday, bought FM24 today, downloaded the Mustermann Iconic and having my first look now. Looks brilliant. I can't wait to explore this (to me) completely new way of playing the game, focussing on data and performance metrics. Thank you!
@@KasperKristjansson Fantastic! Congratulations on getting your masters done. Enjoy your time playing...you deserve it!
this is incredibly good! it does actually look like fm24 was a new improved game!
Thank you, very much. I tried to ignore what was actually in the game when designing, and focus instead on what I think should be available on each page. It's definitely an extreme change!
Your Skin is simply amazing, it has completely changed my FM experience, thank you.
I have two questions tho, firstly, there were phrases in the manage profile of the default skin such as "hands on approach, loyalty to players, media handling" etc.. As far as I understand, you changed these with more realistic statistics, but is it possible to bring them back again by editing?
Secondly, what do I need to edit to show the facilities and reputation levels with stars instead of just texts?
I'm sorry if my questions are too general, I think I asked very specific questions about XML, but I hope the answers may be easy. Thanks again.
As neither are things I've sought to do, I don't know the exact answers and I'm not at home to check.
Your best route is to find a skin that has what you're looking for, and identify which element controls what you're asking for. For the manager it will be panels/human/human profile.xml, and I think the element is referred to as "Manager Statistics".
For facilities, I've never touched this at all, but I believe WTCS has, so that might be a good place to look.
Thank you so much ur a for sure a FM Legend i love this skin
Thank you very much, glad you enjoy it!
Looks absolutely stunning! I would appreciate a video with you using the skin in a save, showing how you go about setting the best team, what you are looking for in transfers recruitment etc.
Yes I am stuck on the attributes. It feels like I'm going in blind when using the skin 😅
You're in luck, sir! It might have been on FM23, but I was using the beta version of this skin for my Ajax one-season save.

Now the skin is released, I will also be starting up my main save with PAOK in the coming weeks. I will be using a slightly adapted version of the skin where I also disable player search, staff search and remove staff attributes entirely.
Purerly amazing, thank you!
Definitely gonna give this a go at some point!! might do a PL save to get used to it though as it seems like it'll take some getting used to without having to worry about the intricacies of the turkish 3rd division where I currently am in my main save!
It's definitely worth giving a try - and sure it might help to do so first time with a team you have a little bit of knowledge about! That said, I played South African second division in FM23 this way, and it was great fun. Icons meants I could easily see that my players were all rubbish!!
Love the concept, going to give it a go after not playing FM for the last few years.
Thank you, and that's awesome. Hope it helps get into the new FM!!
Looks great as always!
Just my personal view: if all the tweaks you made were available with the original color/pattern design and font (the montserrat?(ish) isn't very readable for me) That would be the dream.
But otherwise job well done and thank you for being so active with the community!
Cheers from Prague!
Děkuji, Patrik.
There is a colour scheme that is similar to the default FM one - "Elton". Interestingly, Montserrat won a public vote (my preferred choice came in 3rd), and you can't believe how much more difficult that made this, as I didn't realise just how wide the font was 🤣
@@mustermannfm as a Frontend developer I 100% feel your pain 😂
Thank you for your kind reply and I'll definitely give your skin a good try.
Have an awesome day!☺
@@Patrik38cz then you'll see right through my lies when I blame everything wrong with the skin on the back-end, in this case SI themselves 🤣
This is really cool! Nice work! Maybe one day I will attempt an attribute less save…
Never a better time than right now 🤣
Joking aside, I think my first venture into attributeless (albeit short lived) was during summer a few years ago. When you've played FM a lot, and the real season has ended, it was a nice challenge to make things feel fresh.
A thing of absolute beauty. Can't wait to get stuck in
Can't wait to see the first Hemel player with an elite attribute!
What a masterpiece! Thank you.
Thank you 🙏, hope you enjoy it!
This is the best skin I've seen in more than 9 years playing this game. IMPRESSIVE! 😱😎😃
Thank you, Juan 🙏
And also Merry Christmas 🌲
This looks absolutely incredible. Well done to you and thanks for creating this masterpiece. Is this usable for laptops? Specifically a Mac. I scrolled the comments and didn't see anything.
There should be no discernible difference with Mac. Although there has been no consideration for the notch at the top of some laptops, so I don't know how this would impact it. As for usable for laptops it depends on the resolution. As long as you have an effective resolution of at least 1360x768 you'll be fine.
@@mustermannfmI’m having trouble downloading it on my mac
Insane. Will give it a try.
It might take a little bit of getting used to, but (for me, at least) I've found this approach super liberating. I'm signing and playing players I may have never considered because they only had an "11" for a specific attribute, but there performances are actually really good.
Not even hyperbole, this is already changing the way I play the game. Grazie mille.
Thank you 🙏 I'm glad you're enjoying it!
Just spent another hour on this it’s absolutely incredible feel like I’m playing a new manager game for the first time looks beautiful in 3440 resolution on an ultra wide monitor aswell everything about it the tactics screen my favourite so clean and easy to use there’s no clutter anywhere.
Thank you dude 🙏 I really appreciate it, and glad that you enjoy it.
Do you not find all the text and buttons kind of squished or stretched?
@@scruffylooking5957 no mate if it’s like that you might need to zoom out in preferences mines perfect though but got a wide monitor
This is 🔥!
Thank you, dude. Always appreciate your support!
I'm always changing skins because one has something the other doesn't but this is amazing........complete new look I love it........thank you
Thank you, and hopefully this will pique the interest. Of course, I imagine there will be things missing from here that you like from other skins. Sadly it's always a compromise 🤣
this makes a new game out of FM! Not easy at the beginning, but worth it.
Aye, it definitely takes a bit of time to adjust, but I genuinely believe it's a far more liberating way of playing - less focus on attributes means you're willing to consider signing players you otherwise might have never thought about!!
amazing!
WOW!!!! Just WOW!
Thank you very much 🙏
Amazing work! One question: for scouting, when you have attribute masking on and incomplete knowledge of a player, how does that show up on the player profile? I believe Ben has it display the circle of the corresponding highest possible attribute, is it the same here? Always need to be careful making decisions if you know you don’t have complete info!
Yes, that's correct. It will colour off the top end of the perceived range. E.g if the scout believes that an attribute is between 8-13 - it will show as GOOD until fully scouted.
I've used last year numbered version. I'll give it a try this iconic version now, this is the best skin for lower res computers, it's a shame you're not going to make a numbered version, I hope I get used to it or mybe I'll try to edit the files myself later 👍
Come on over to the dark side of (pseudo) attributeless. It's not too bad over here!
This looks brillaint - thanks for sharing this.
Thank you for the kind words, and if you give it a try, I hope you enjoy it!
@@mustermannfm It's my new go-to skin. I've been wanting to go attribute less for a while but never taken the plunge, this has made it much easier. It's beautiful to look at and the navigation is intuitive. Fantastic work. Thanks again.
@@rootcoors Glad you're enjoying it...and welcome to the darkside of attributeless!
This looks a really nice skin that I'm going to try. I'm normally a numbers attributes guy but the effort you have put into it makes me want to try it on one of my saves so thanks for sharing. Slightly off topic, you said you are looking forward to making new videos. I was wondering if you're interested and have time to make match analysis videos on what you do in matches that aren't going your way, perhaps if you adjust player roles or what data you look at in-game. Basically what ever you do and look for. I have found written guides online but I'm more of a visual person and like videos to follow. I've watched lots of FM content creators, all good but I've not seen anyone cover this subject. Unless you can suggest someone's videos I should watch as I see you like to promote in the FM community. Just thought it would be interesting to see to the usual wonderkids recruitment videos that everyone seems to do, not that you do that as you're more of a story teller which is why I think you would explain it well for fairly newbies like me that have only played since FM23. Just a thought anyway.
Welcome to the dark side of attributeless 😈
If I ever get a chance to start this PAOK save, it will be more like a let's play, so there will be more game-management stuff. Of course, I am reactive to what happens, so I can't say - "hey, episode 3 I'll be focussing on in-game analysis and adjustment" as I won't know if and when things will happen ahead of time!
@@mustermannfmlook forward to the let's play then if you get the chance. Another question, what view or custom views are you using for this skin for scouting e.g in players in range? Unless I missed it in this video.
Hey man - absolutely loving this! Would love to know the thresholds you use for the player archetypes?
The thresholds have been deliberately omitted, for two reasons. 1) The thresholds may change whenever there is a ME patch to ensure that roughly 10% of players within the target position group will meet the criteria. 2) The article it is inspired by does not have set thresholds.
i love this skin so much and have used it for months thank you! i did however want to ask if we'd be able to get a panel during matches that allows us to see the oppositions changes to their roles during the game. i think currently it just shows the formation. that would 100% stop me from swapping skins. thanks for all your hard work man
I'm afraid I have no pans to add that at all. That is not information that would be available to you. If you want to add it yourself, you can always look at copying over the panels/match/match in between highlights panel.xml from another skin.
Great Job! How did you get the stadiums to appear in the home tab?
I downloaded a stadium pack. There is a link in the description - and also on the start screen of the skin under the "Graphics" tab.
That is amazing design.
Sadly it would probably slow down my time playing without attributes and I don't get much time to game these days, but as a statistician myself, this is really excellent.
You'll never know until you try it!!
Joking aside, thank you for the kind words. I know it's a niche playing style and won't appeal to everyone, but if people still look at it and go "oh, cool, but not for me", I'm pretty happy with that!
I have an important question to address. The percentile statistics displayed on the pizza chart are not dynamic. This means that the xG values are consistently compared to specific numbers derived from a multitude of tests that have been conducted.
In light of this, it raises the question of whether these numbers were generated using FME or QME. The disparity between the two methods can be significant and may present a distorted representation of a player's pizza chart. While I haven't delved deeply into testing FM24, my experience with FM22 and FM23 revealed that leagues simulated with QME tended to have more key tackles than those using FME (without getting bogged down in specific statistics). I hope you understand what I'm trying to convey.
If I were to solely simulate my league with Full Detail and let other leagues progress quickly for a faster progression into the future, the player statistics in my league might not necessarily be comparable to those of players in different leagues. Is this still the case in FM24?
Currently, I export data multiple times with filters for leagues that use QME or FME, manually calculating percentiles in an Excel sheet. This ensures that my percentiles are dynamic and calculated based on their respective detail levels. However, this process is time-consuming. Considering the overall aesthetic appeal of your skin, I would love to make the switch.
The data set used for the visualisations are FME only.
Prior to that I had run tests with both, and found that the disparity in the stats used for the visualisations was relatively minor, with players usually ending up within a 10% bracket of the FME. Of course, with it not being possible to run large scale tests with perfect unchangeable conditions, it is difficult to assert how how much of this was to do the different between MEs and how much of it was coincidence. Furthermore, with each patch released, this initial test has not been re-run, so the usefulness of that assessment will diminish over time.
After your video, I have to try to play with this skin. So far for me the best was Vince Skin but maybe yours will be better for me. Looks interesting
It might take a little getting used to, but I hope you enjoy it!
SI should be giving you a ring son... HR with an offer.
That's very kind, thank you 🙏
Of course, it is important to add that something like this can only exist when SI make the default skin which is there to cater to the masses. That allows me to focus on a specific style (and relatively limited resolutions).
Hi, what confuses me is the possession lost bar. As it is a negative statistics does a “bigger” bar mean good or bad? Using the example in this video did John Macginn lost more than the 60 percent (as he hits the third circle) or less?
Bigger is better...in the case of possession lost, it means a lower number. So, in the example, McGinn lost the ball less frequently than 60% of players. Or 60% of players lost possession more frequently than John McGinn. Whichever way you want to look at it.
Time to enjoy FM to the maxxxxxx
Glad to hear it. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Disliking for complaining about my boys in Augsburg xD On a serious note this skin is insane, only thing I don't particularly like is the pseudo-attributeless nature (my issue, not yours) and even then I feel like for scouting I would prefer the generalised dots to trim my scout list at which point I would take interest in attribute values. But every other feature is just outstanding (especially love the player architypes, something small that looks great). Fantastic work.
Look, it's not my fault that Augsburg went for green and red!! Sadly, it's just one of the limitations of the game when using club colours, otherwise I have no qualms with them. Norwich are nearly as bad, too!
Amazing Skin ! I love it. I used the previous version on FM23 but this one is better ! Thanks for it.
Just a question, i don't see the "Team Fluidity" on the tactic panel. Is it normal ? I use this information to create custom tactics and without it i need to switch to default skin to see it.
It's not on the tactic screen. I will consider restoring it for a later update, but it doesn't do anything but communicate how many support roles you've assigned.
What a fantastic skin game-changing skin. Only issue I can imagine is when trying to evaluate your team and sign new players early season when the stats reset. As a professional graphic designer I also really appreciate your design choices.
Indeed, there are limitations with stats resetting at season end, and I heartily recommend creating a save at season end before the reset, so you're able to go back and check previous seasons.
And thank you for the compliment. As a non-designer, that means a lot!
8:13 can you or do you plan to add an indicator of role/position familiarity beside player name on tactics screen similar to older fms? I find it very useful especially when I'm not fully familiar with the players.
It's something I considered previously and decided against as the information is already available elsewhere on the screen - the role ability indicator is next to their name in the squad list, and tactical familiarity is available by clicking the third button on the top left of the pitch.
I will add it to my list of future considerations, but just to be transparent and not give false expectations, I expect there is a good chance I'll reach the same conclusion
Great job!! How do I know what the colours represent in term of elite, good or average attributes?
In the video there was a key, but it's the exact same ranges used by the default game. Depending on the colour scheme you use, the specific colours will be different, but they also increase in size. These are as follows:
Poor 1-5
Average 6-10
Good 11-15
Excellent 16-20
GREAT !!!!!!!!!
Thank you, dude! Much appreciated.
If you change the colour skin, would the attributes, pizza bars change as well? Because i am trying to change the attributes colour from preferences and doesnt work. Thanks
Yes, changing the scheme will change the colour of attributes, pizza, etc... instructions are in the FAQs linked in the description.
Love the skin. Has become my most favorite one ever - but I do have one question. Is there a way I can see my reputation star and coaching attributes in my profile page? Because it will tell me my badge but I don't see anything else in relation to that. I have all the other information. Is it just I have to change the resolution or something or am I looking in the wrong place or ?
But again, awesome mod.
Just scroll down to see your attributes. Your reputation is in the header immediately under "manager". It is text rather than stars.

I guess I'm blind? I see the little circles but none of them are clickable or show information
Love the skin! Still trying to get use to it. ^^ Amazing that you support the community as you do!
Quick question. - in a match, its not possible to do the quick sub on the player arrow. When the box pops up its completely empty. Is that a part of the skin or a bug?
I've always believed that elevating the community is good for the game, and for everyone who plays it!!
Could you clarify the issue? The only option for quick sub in match is via the console bar at the bottom, which has worked absolutely fine for me. If it's not working for you, can you tell me the steps you go through, so I can try and replicate the issue.
@@mustermannfm Ty for answering! And i'll try to do my best. :D
When im in a match and i click in the left corner to open tactics (little box with a arrow kind of thing in the middle), i get a big view with all my players on the left, and the player positions on the right (the typical 2d tactical field view). On each player there is an arrow on the right of the players name. That arrow opens a new box, where usually you have a list of players suitable on the position and "star" comparrison etc. But on mine the box is empty.
@@iClawzELiTe brilliant. Thank you for the clear description. I understand what you mean now. I've been able to replicate and fix it. An update won't be out until after the next official SI Patch, but to fix this do the following:
Open the Mustermann Iconic/panels/tactics/tactics icon info panel overview match.xml in a text editor, such as Notepad. Find the following line (row 161):
And change it to:
@@mustermannfm ty so much man! And again, ty for the skin! GOAT skinner and personality! big ups
@@iClawzELiTe cheers, dude. Much appreciated 🙏
I love your skin mate, really changed the FM experience for me for the better. The only thing that I can't seem to find is the suspensions tab. Is it hidden behind a button by any chance?
Well spotted. It's not there at all. You're the first person to notice in 6 months! I'll look at how to incorporate it
@@mustermannfm Would be amazing!
WOW! I've been playing FM on my 720p laptop and let alone finding the best skin, just trying to find skin that looks good on 720p itself is a challenge. I will absolutely try this one when I come home today!
720p might still be a challenge. The minimum supported resolution here is 1360x768 at 100% zoom. 1280x720 should work at 85% zoom, though.
Oh mine is 768, I just forgot the number I thought it was the same lol thanks!
Hello. Thank you for this Skin, the Work is incredible. I'm sorry for my english (I'm french) but i have a question: It's possible to change the color of the attributes or not ? (Red if it's a little circle, blue if it's between 6 and ten, etc) Thank you
Yes, follow the instructions in the description:
If you want to set your own Colour Scheme, you will want to edit lines 214-241 inside the aforementioned file, using a text editor such as Notepad. Colours are defined as RGB values. I heartily recommend using colordesigner.io/color-palettes if you need help deciding on a palette.
For just attributes though, you want to edit the values a little further down in the file, starting at "low attribute".
@@mustermannfm Ok, i understand, thank you for your answer and your rapidity !
many thanks for this awesome skin. i have a question tho, Is it normal that it says "scouting required" even for my own players in the ability section? (I haven't played any matches yet)
thanks again.
It shouldn't say scouting required for your own players, it should give your coaches summary. E.g. "squad player in their prime" or whatever.
I stumbled across this, downloaded and tried it, and while I love the idea of using no attributes and want to try it in its own save, I'd love if there is a version of the skin that has attributes. Great skin though. Very smooth, clean, and intuitive. One thing in particular is how easy it is to move players around while setting up tactics vs the vanilla skin!
Thank you for the feedback.
I appreciate that attributeless isn't for everyone, but that is the area I am focussing my time. Unfortunately I do not have the time or passion for an attributed version, but there are plenty of fantastic alternatives out there.
Tato is a great choice for a smooth, clean and intuitive design: www.fmscout.com/a-fm24-skin-tato.html
Electric Panther might be more appropriate if you are looking for some of those data visualisation elements: www.fmscout.com/a-electric-panther-fm24-skin.html
I've always wanted to try playing attributeless and this seems like the most beautiful one to try. Just one question, if i'm playing in Japan J3 league and have limited scouting abilities, would the pizza still compares to top 20 leagues? And for unscouted players do we get the data as well?
Yes, it will always compare against the top 20 leagues. When working through the concept and determining the levels it used, there seemed to be only a relative drop off in terms of statistical output below that level, as whilst the players might be worse, so are their opposition.
And yes, you do still get the data on unscouted players. The pizza charts can be just like a virtual way of following this guy on Twitter: x.com/BeGriffis/status/1725554762764927162?s=20
(Incidentally, I believe you can actually hire him in FM now - although not sure he'll come to J3)
Hey, appreciate your work. I know it'll sound extremely picky and silly, but how about adding a 'mark all items as read' button near the search items function in the inbox, like in the sas skin? I know I could just click two more buttons, but I'm lazy lol
I'll have a look. See if I can make the button an icon rather than the words, though, as it will take up quite a bit of space on lower resolutions.
Edit: And for clarity, the next update will be shortly after the next major patch, so might be a while before it's added.
