In the top right should be a drop down under the heading ‘Database’:

Open Football Manager 2021, go to ‘Start A New Game’ and choose ‘Career’. Now that we have completed our editing, it’s time to start a new game. A few more zeroes added to the bank balance and transfer and wage budgets can’t hurt: Let’s give Cambridge a bit of a boost to their finances to help them with their journey up the leagues. In addition to bringing the club’s data up to date, we can also take this opportunity to have a bit of fun. To do this, go to ‘File’ and then ‘Save Editor Data As…’ to create a new file. You need to save your work or your changes will be lost when you close the PGE down and won’t appear in the game. You’ll notice that at the top right of the editor, the text ‘(4 Unsaved Changes)’ has appeared. There are also several contract clauses available to edit, the further you scroll down. We can now update the details about the transfer join date, contract length, squad number, wage etc. Select the ‘Yeovil Town’ record and press ‘Ok’. By clicking on the dropdown button to the right of the Club field, we can search for Yeovil in the database: With just a few clicks, we can make this happen in the PGE. In real life, Tom was transferred to Yeovil Town on November 30th (for an undisclosed fee). Here, as an example, is Tom Knowles, who was playing for Cambridge United when FM21 was released in late November of 2020: Let’s have a look at an example of how we can input these changes in the game via the PGE. I’m a stickler for realism when it comes to starting a new save, so one of the things I like to do is to keep a file updated with the latest transfers, contract news, managerial changes and so on. The addition of the ‘Advanced Rules’ section in Football Manager 2009 was a game-changer for those who like to create or edit complex league and/or cup structures. The functionality has come on a long way since the early days, as more editable features and data fields have been added into the game. The PGE has been a part of Football Manager for as long as I can remember. Here, Luke D’Alton offers some advice on how to get the most from the FM21 PGE. Whether you use the Pre-Game Editor (PGE) to update your favourite team with the latest transfer movements (so that you can start a season with your club’s latest signing already in the squad), create the European Super League you’ve always dreamt of, or save yourself the hassle of asking the board for a larger transfer budget (by simply increasing it yourself), the application allows to play the game your way. For many years now, the ability to edit data in Football Manager has been a vital part of the FM experience.
