Read the screen
Capture the active FM window or add up to five screenshots. The assistant works from what is visibly there, identifies the situation and keeps claims grounded.
SCREENSHOTS · CONTEXT The assistant manager for your save
Make the next
right call.
FM AI Assistant reads the Football Manager screenshots and exports you share, then turns the visible evidence into practical advice for your squad, tactics, scouting and long-term plan.

01 / FEATURES
One assistant.
The whole club.
Move naturally between a match-day question, a recruitment decision and a season-long development plan—without losing your club context.
Know your squad
Import first-team, reserve and youth HTML exports for an evidence-led squad review: hierarchy, contracts, development, depth and transfer priorities.
EXPORTS · SQUAD PLANNINGBuild your tactic
Keep multiple tactic profiles, roles and a 1/2/3 depth matrix. Read a tactic screenshot into a transparent profile and see internal role coverage.
ROLES · DEPTH · FITScout with intent
Create scouting profiles, compare shortlist candidates from their visible attributes and get support for negotiations before you make the call.
SHORTLISTS · RECRUITMENTLearn across the save
Club policies, manager decisions, saved reports and player corrections create useful local context for the next conversation—not a generic answer every time.
LOCAL MEMORY · HISTORYStay in control
The assistant advises; it never controls Football Manager. Review proposals, keep your decisions explicit, and use your own provider account.
YOU DECIDE · ALWAYS03 / HOW IT LEARNS
Your FM screen
becomes useful context.
FM AI Assistant does not claim to know hidden attributes, potential or game state. It learns from the screenshots, HTML exports and decisions you intentionally give it—then makes the next question more informed.
Capture what matters
Use the capture button or Ctrl + Shift + A while Football Manager is open. You can also add image files directly to a chat.
Read the visible evidence
The assistant identifies the screen and the situation in it. It bases advice on visible details and makes uncertainty clear when something is missing.
Keep the useful parts
Saved reports, tactic profiles, squad imports and your corrections build local club context for later conversations in the same save.
A practical example: capture a player profile, ask how that player fits your high press, then save the conclusion or correction so future squad and recruitment advice starts from your own football.
