No it's literally the greatest FM skin ever even if it's subjective - literally used to laugh at the idea of an attributeless skin and now I don't think I can play FM without it (esp important w/ FM25 around the corner - I'm going to be sticking it out with FM24 for a long, long time.) And the scaling is genuinely unbelievable, can't imagine how much work it is as I play in windowed mode and sometimes to multi-task will scale it to some weird resolutions, and it still works so perfectly. You're a legend.
Absolutely the best skin and I love the stats and descriptors you've added. Can't wait to give this new one a go, especially with the scaling options you've given. Incredible work my friend!!!
Top work mate, not only on the skin but everything you do for the Fm community. You inspired me with my skinning and I've appreciated you answering my silly questions earlier in the cycle.
Guy from reddit who asked about adjusting the attribute indicators... i keep finding news things about this skin that make me say "God that is beautiful". Again, thank you for creating this!!
Much appreciated, dude! Glad you're enjoying it (and finding the occasional little surprise - one of my favourites hasn't really ever been advertised: if you're viewing the player scout report from inside their profile, you can click on the analyst report and it'll bring up the specific analyst report and supporting visualisations)
@@mustermannfm Another "WOW" was just had. Absolutely beautiful. I can see how this could have been missed. But god, is this wonderful! I love how the initial analyst click forces me to click on the scout report too. I'm expecting to uncover something and there it is. And above all else, the way you've presented the data across the two is just intuitive. The additional hidden click to switch the analyst report from 'Total' to a 'per game' basis. I think i might have to spend an hour clicking through the skin to see what else I might uncover.
@@themightied ironically the scout report section is the reason I didn't make a big thing about it. It doesn't quite do what I wanted it to. If you've scouted a player by games (rather than weeks/full knowledge) then you get a summary of the games watched and can view highlights. This should pull through when you click on the scout report section, but for some reason it will only work if you go to the specific subpage first. Which kind of defeats the point. One of those things that sadly I can't work out to get exactly as I want.
@@mustermannfm hmm i might be misunderstanding your intention but i believe I'm seeeing what you've described above... On two seperate reports; after asking my director of football to scout players. i navigate to their profiles, click reports and then Scout rating. Towards the bottom right i can watch the three games that have been scouted. ADENDUM: I wrote the above yesterday and now that I have gone back to check, the issue you have described is present. I can no longer see what is intended unless I click into the scout subpage, then back out into the overview to see the matches watched. Which, as you infer, is redundant. It might have been a situation where I had already navigated to the scoutting subpage in the reports before clicking on the over view. But either way, honestly, it doesnt take away from the value you have created.
It just seems to be one of those oddities. It's something I go back to every now and then just to see if fresh eyes can find a solution. No luck so far!
Last year FM was my most played ever and a lot of that had to do with your fantastic skin. Although I really like this year’s version too I missed the light mode, until now. But I still have a few more months to start a new save and enjoy this update. Fantastic work
There's so much awesome content out there (too much unfortunately for me to fairly include everyone), and I believe that everything included could provide value to players - whether that's hints/tips, history/research or entertainment!
Great work on this GIMN. I also hope the FM25 skin is going to be a step forward, but I am also not going to hold my breathe on that one. ;-) Thanks for all the help!
When I first heard of this skin and the approach, first thought was bloody stupid. I am 5 hours deep and it’s 100% fantastic, I love the whole idea and brings the game to another level. Just wanted to drop past and say what you and your people have achieved here is remarkable. All the best.
Glad you're enjoying it, and it is quite a radical approach which I appreciate won't be for everyone. Although I do have to ask who "my people" are? It's just me. A one-man show, if you will.

Been using Tato skin and yours for last few FMs,gets you thinking about players in a different way when looking at them,as for not doing a skin for FM25,never say never 🙏🙏🙏 and watched all your Paok series twice just picking up tips.
I mean, if I were Si I’d make a transfer bid for you and have you make an official alternative playing experience. The aesthetics and the approach could be added as game mode to start a save in. Anyways, grateful for your work!
That's very kind, bless you. As great as that would be, SI have clearly analysed playing behaviours ahead of this refresh, and sadly I don't think there's enough of us attributeless folk for them to consider that!!
Awesome job with this skin. A bit intimidating though, to people like me who spent years looking at numerical attributes. Number 20 comes from the dice 🎲 used in strategical tactical games and it’s useful to calculate percentage of risk and success of an action on the field.
It is here for a very specific playstyle and appreciate it is not for everyone. Having played the series since Championship Manager Italia, I have also spent years looking at numerical attributes.
Oh no!!! I'm sorry. We obviously don't know what level of mod support there will be on initial release, but I'm sure there'll be some good attributeless ones out there for it (I hope so)
Love the first few seconds of the video!! While it might be a big undertaking if you ever had the capacity doing a video on HOW to skin would be amazing. You have made one of the best skins on the tinter web and would love to know how its done as would love to try my hand at it
Firstly, thank you!! Whilst it's something I've considered, I am simply not knowledgeable enough. A lot of work is brute force, and trying to explain something when you don't necessarily understand yourself why certain things work in one place but not another, is just the blind leading the blind. Moreover, with the change to Unity, I expect the underlying code to change. Perhaps I should've started making videos/skins a few years earlier!
@@mustermannfm Completely fair! BUT for someone who isn't knowledgeable enough you have (as I said before) designed one of the most beautiful skins around - I actually wish SI Games would invite people like yourself to help them build a better base skin
@@TheAccidentalPhotographer The base skin is actually very good. Building something that caters to such a wide variety of resolutions, and allows play the game how they want is no mean feat. Granted, it does help that uploading skins to Steam is a pain in the proverbial, but something like 95% of FM players use the base skin. Of course, if SI wanted to reach out, I would be happy, though!!
Additional improvement would be to showcase the different themes somewhere! You can only figure it out at the moment by hot swapping them all, which is a bit involved
If you head to the SI Forums (community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/580505-fm24skin-mustermann-iconic-v12-updated-200724-light-mode-now-available/#comments), each colour scheme is shown in the first post.
I am not surprised to see some of the changes they've mentioned. Understanding hierarchy of information and then making it easy to drill down further is just good practice. Sometimes we like having lots of information all at once, but then don't use it and become paralysed by information overload.
@@mustermannfm its early stages but I think the over simplification of the menues is not good... I liked having the opportunity to tailor my menues and have some say in where what goes etc. and I fear they will remove this....
Wow, glad to have stumbled upon your work. I’ll be binging this for the next few days for sure! Do you have any videos on ideal database setup for a save using your methods? I’d never messed with detail levels etc until this year and I’m still not entirely sure (or sure at all) of how best to use it.
I cover the league setup I use here: ua-cam.com/video/f-H4GfG9mH0/v-deo.html Leagues chosen based on proximity and countries with a large diaspora of my main league. I will then add/remove leagues if I move country. This allows me to have a focused selection without putting a huge demand on my PC.
Absolutely love the skin and all the time and effort you put in to add different colours. I was just wondering if you've got a video on how you set your saves up? What options and leagues do you have loaded? I'm wanting to start a moneyball save with Huddersfield and I'm a bit confused as to how I start and what I should be looking for stats wise at each position.
I cover my approach, somewhat appropriately, in the first episode the PAOK/Zaragoza series: ua-cam.com/video/f-H4GfG9mH0/v-deo.htmlsi=dediGoEwuJFTxjsT I focus on nations that have some sort of geographical or diasporic relationship with where I intend to manage, and I will add/remove leagues during the course of the save when I change teams. All leagues loaded will be on full detail.
Great skin. About the dribbles, I feel there's a misunderstanding somewhere. FM shows dribbles as take-ons (1v1) not as carries, I believe. So a SV should have a lot of carries but not necessarily take-ons
A dribble in FM is carrying the ball past a player. It is neither a 1v1 nor a progressive carry, but some weird in-between, as can be seen by watching the dribbles through the chalkboard. Moreover, Francho has the Dribble More instruction, and those in that system at PAOK had approximately double. I should've said "I expect a Segundo Volante IN MY TACTIC".
I'd put the game down waiting for FM25 but guess i'll have to start a new save to try the revamped skin! Open to ideas for a new save to start with this skin!
I always think the summer is a good time to try and see if you can save a team who failed in real life. Maybe someone who got relegated with little fight, like Sheffield United. Or someone who was meant to challenge for the title, but fell massively short, like Borussia Dortmund.
@@emersonbeats2641 another idea - a very general one - is any team in Serie A. It's probably the most diverse in terms of different formations used by the starting managers, and so you have a lot more that you need to adapt to.
New to the skin, incredible work, and after almost 20 years of playing FM it feels like a new game. I do have a question. When trying to track the progress of my youth team squads, the only place I can see an individual player's (limited) data is by looking at the overall coaching report, and then expanding the analysis tab inside the coach report. I think it offers eight pieces of data. However, there is nothing inside player performance. Granted, you can look in the form tab of the reports section and it offers goals and assists, but is there a way of seeing the bar charts and pizza charts of a player playing youth competitions? Or is this unavailable because the standard of competition is low?
No...the game does not properly record advanced metrics for youth players viewable at a profile level. This is a limitation of the game, I'm afraid. You can easily assess player performance, however, by looking for outliers in their respective youth competition -> Player Detailed stats page
@@mustermannfm yes thought that was the way to go. thanks for the reply, appreciate it. Last question, on the home screen, I am seeing a small sized picture of the stadium, not the same size in your tutorial vids. Is there a reason for this?
That will be dependent on the stadium images. Either depending on the pack, or the stadium, it will sometimes be smaller than the container on the home screen. These are not scaled up deliberately, because it can do some funky things with aspect ratios.
Hey mate, had a look at how to change the colours manually but I really suck with this stuff. Is there any real dumbed down explanation as to how I can have the colours of the default game? So green for excellent, yellow for good, white for okay etc..
Let's assume for this example you are using Dark Mode. You open Mustermann Iconic 1.2 Dark/settings/Mustermann Iconic Dark Settings.xml in a text editor, such as Notepad. You use the find function (Ctrl + F) to find "low attribute". This is the section where you define the colours. Where it says value, you enter the rgb value for the colour you want. If you don't know the rgb value you want, open up something like paint. Find the colour you want, and then look at the rgb values. You enter those where it says value. For example: You do this for each classification. They are all together in the file.
@@mustermannfm Wow. Hey, I know it can be a bit annoying having to deal with incompetent people like me lol, but you are really a top lad for responding and helping people out. I saw the rest of the comment section and you truly do take the time to help people and respond. Genuinely appreciated, thanks a lot :))))
It does if you've installed it correctly. Remember after loading the skin you need to exit the game, and reboot FM, as the property files only load on initial startup.
Might be a dumb question, but how do I factor in how various things might be impacting the stats? For example, the stats of players in a high pressing team will have more slightly inflated # of pressures compared to a less pressing team, which might have the perfect intense BWM for me but I’ll never catch that in the data because his team never asked him to press that much
The nipple charts and percentage based metrics can be helpful in understanding a player's capacity for doing things well but, like in real life, if you're trying to sign a player who does not currently play in the same type of system as you, there is always going to be an element of risk.
@@mustermannfm thanks so much! Trying to gather more info on how to get started from some of your other videos, looks like I need to run all leagues using full match engine? Any other tips you recommend to get the most accurate/relevant data from simming the first season?
@@Flexium_GG Generally, I advise being selective with what leagues you run at full detail. Either target places that you think will produce quality players, those that you plan on managing in or with links to those you are managing in. Balancing detail with processing speed is ultimate down to your rig and play speed.
@@mustermannfm okay thanks so much. Last question for now.. you can only get the stats on players you scouted right? If so, what kinds of scouting reports do you setup to ensure a solid database of stats after simming that first season?
I love this skin but mine had issue with the scrolling element. Sometimes it would just break and i cannot scroll at all. Restarting the game is the only fix i had right now. I'm playing on 2560x1080p resolution.
oh that's interesting. Never experienced that in 2 years of this layout. If it ever happens again, are you able to screen record and send me a video (to the email on this account, or upload to mediafire and send me a link)
Just a question after I’ve been using the skin for a little while now - are the percentile rankings dynamic or are the thresholds based off of your aggregated database? How does the skin know which leagues are active and at what detail level if so?
It is covered in the FAQs 😉 The pizza charts are static. 5.80 headers from a centre-back will always be in the 75th percentile, for example. Comparing the Top 20 leagues (according to globalfootballrankings.com) was chosen based on initial tests that indicated consistency between what is good. E.g. A top dribbler in the Championship will complete roughly the same amount of dribbles at a top dribbler in La Liga. From 21st ranked league down, there was a notable drop-off. You can expect a player making the jump from Championship to La Liga might see a regression in their performance, of course. And part of the challenge (in real-life, too) is identifying how much of a drop off you believe that might end up being. The skin itself does not know which leagues are active or on full detail. You will, however, be able to see it quite easily as certain metrics are not recorded accurately (or in some cases, at all). It is a different data set to the Moneyball Clinic, but same methodology. MC came after, and I required different data and a wider set of leagues to be assessed. For example, the data set for the skin didn't require players names. I needed unique ID as this distinguished between players with the same name, but their actual name doesn't help with determining thresholds. When it came to doing MC, knowing the player's name was suddenly a lot more useful! And so on.
@@mustermannfm dang, I should have known that my Q would be an FA’ed one! Thanks for taking the time to respond, appreciate the insight - seriously enjoying the skin. I’m finding that I’m relying more on what I’m seeing in a players performance than I am getting lost in attributes and what a player _should_ be doing, making for a really refreshing save - look forward to your next video, whatever it may be!
Absolutely love the skin! However, right now i'm in the midst of transitioning to another skin for a network game where i want to use another skin. No matter which other skin i use i still can't see attributes on some screens, namely in the scouting section (it shows some green circles) and on staff profiles. It doesn't matter if i use another custom skin or the default one. I have tried removing the skin from the skins folder, to no avail. Do you (or anyone else) know how to fix this? :)
Hey, I recently downloaded your skin and I love it however there is one problem. The profiles of the players and coaches do not show the pie charts and the page is completely blank when I click on to it. Any ideas on how to fix this or where I've gone wrong. Keep up the good work
@@luandavies2875 a few things to check. Follow the installation guide in the link in the description. This includes making sure that caching is turned off when reloading and resetting the game after loading the skin. Secondly, have you played competitive games? Pizza charts won't populate until there is performance data to fill them
Just a quick question. I like different attribute ranges for differwnt areas and reasons if i change the ranges will it change in game or is your default ranges solid and unchangeable
You have to do it through the skin files. It's all explained in the FAQs: community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/580505-fm24skin-mustermann-iconic-v12-updated-200724-light-mode-now-available/
Thank u mate. Just I noticed earlier that I didn't change my ranges from another skin I used a while back and couldn't work out if it had changed around me. If there hard coded it's fine with me mate
Super skin, truly my favorite. I just have one question. When I click on the different positions on the player profile, to the right of the statistics, the stats don’t change. Can anyone help?
The stats don't change. They still performed the same number of those metrics. The bars change as the players are now being compared to a specific player group rather than the entire pool of players. Why are the same metrics used for each position? It's covered in the link in the FAQs, which explains the Smarter Scout pizza charts these are inspired by. Pizza Charts are there to give a high level overview. As football is a fluid game, players contribute in multiple facets, and being able to see a high level overview of how an attacker contributes out of possession, or how a defender contributes in the attacked phase is useful to identify the holistic profile of a player.
How good a laptop do you need to run this? To be honest it’s a bit too much for the level of FM I like to play (though I love your channel and the new perspective it gives me in the game) but I might give it a try. My laptop is a bog standard HP I bought 6/7 years ago for college. I know nothing about computers but I can tell you the battery is shot and it sometimes sounds like it’s about to take off and feels like it’s about to catch fire
Well I'd always be wary of running anything when you're worried that it might catch fire, but I realise that's not the question here. The skin doesn't really make any difference in terms of system requirements, but obviously it is beneficial to run leagues at full detail which can, of course, have higher demands.
You'll need to change every instance of attribute_circle to attribute_label within all the files inside the skin. You'll then probably need to realign everything, and change the font style and colours. There may be entire pages you need to rearrange.
한글로 할 시 주급이랑 계약기간이 겹쳐 출력 됩니다. 수정 바라요. 선수는 상관없는데 스탭 능력치 확인이 불가하여 고용에 어려움이 있습니다. 개선 부탁드립니다. When written in Korean, the weekly wage and contract period overlap. Please fix it. It doesn't matter if it's a player, but it's difficult to hire because you can't check the staff's abilities. Please improve.
There are no further updates planned. You will need to edit panels/non_player/non player profile.xml. In it the sections for wages and contract are annotated. Adjust the inset to suit.
It is possible, yes. You'll have to do it yourself. I haven't designed the skin with player faces on the tactics pitch, so you'll be able to find guidance on how to do it over on the SI Forums. Which has a dedicated skinning area, and a specific thread - "Random & Small Skinning Questions".
You mean the one with the title: "Not Publicly Available - It Breaks S***"? Which has the explanation in the description in every video as follows: *CLARIFICATIONS* The squad view in the skin in this video is not part of the public release. This is because it causes a number of issues elsewhere - including, but not limited to, being unable to see players out on loan or international squads.
Make sure you have the right files in the skins folder, as per the installation guide: ua-cam.com/video/j8S_LUuqYrA/v-deo.html. If you want Dark Mode then the path should be Football Manager 2024/skins/Mustermann Iconic 1.2 Dark
I so wish there was a skin that divided well over two monitors. For example on match day, one screen could have the match while stats can be on the other. This would also be great for streamers as certain info can be taken and customised for the stream.
There's never a better time to learn how to do it than now... ...well actually maybe not. New UI/engine in 3 months time means it might actually be the worst time to learn thinking about it!
I'm afraid not, no. Steam is not a very friendly platform for FM skins with multiple options (in this case colour themes and translation files). You can download from the various links in the description.
Dude, why don't you include a formation with players with their ratings for both teams after the match, like other skins do. That's literally only objection I have.
No it's literally the greatest FM skin ever even if it's subjective - literally used to laugh at the idea of an attributeless skin and now I don't think I can play FM without it (esp important w/ FM25 around the corner - I'm going to be sticking it out with FM24 for a long, long time.)

While it might be a big undertaking if you ever had the capacity doing a video on HOW to skin would be amazing. You have made one of the best skins on the tinter web and would love to know how its done as would love to try my hand at it
Firstly, thank you!!
Whilst it's something I've considered, I am simply not knowledgeable enough. A lot of work is brute force, and trying to explain something when you don't necessarily understand yourself why certain things work in one place but not another, is just the blind leading the blind. Moreover, with the change to Unity, I expect the underlying code to change. Perhaps I should've started making videos/skins a few years earlier!
@@mustermannfm Completely fair! BUT for someone who isn't knowledgeable enough you have (as I said before) designed one of the most beautiful skins around - I actually wish SI Games would invite people like yourself to help them build a better base skin
@@TheAccidentalPhotographer The base skin is actually very good. Building something that caters to such a wide variety of resolutions, and allows play the game how they want is no mean feat.
Granted, it does help that uploading skins to Steam is a pain in the proverbial, but something like 95% of FM players use the base skin.
Of course, if SI wanted to reach out, I would be happy, though!!
No joke best skin in FM. Revamped my entire love for the game 🍻
Great to hear, thank you. For a game that's been around for so long, sometimes you need something a little different just to keep things fresh
Played the game for 10 years. This is the first, the last and the only skin im playing with.
Glad you're enjoying it!!
Additional improvement would be to showcase the different themes somewhere! You can only figure it out at the moment by hot swapping them all, which is a bit involved
If you head to the SI Forums (community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/580505-fm24skin-mustermann-iconic-v12-updated-200724-light-mode-now-available/#comments), each colour scheme is shown in the first post.
This reminds me of the stuff they talked about for FM25
I am not surprised to see some of the changes they've mentioned. Understanding hierarchy of information and then making it easy to drill down further is just good practice. Sometimes we like having lots of information all at once, but then don't use it and become paralysed by information overload.
gonna miss this skin, my goat🐐i would love to see a stat centric skin to this level in fm25 though
Hopefully, with the new UI, SI will bring make some of that information more prominent!
@@mustermannfmyeah hopefully they move towards a more stats driven approach when it comes to scouting, that’s what it’s like irl
Beautiful skin! FM25 does look dink currently mind you....
I respectfully disagree 😀
@@mustermannfm its early stages but I think the over simplification of the menues is not good... I liked having the opportunity to tailor my menues and have some say in where what goes etc. and I fear they will remove this....
Wow, glad to have stumbled upon your work. I’ll be binging this for the next few days for sure! Do you have any videos on ideal database setup for a save using your methods? I’d never messed with detail levels etc until this year and I’m still not entirely sure (or sure at all) of how best to use it.
I cover the league setup I use here: ua-cam.com/video/f-H4GfG9mH0/v-deo.html
Leagues chosen based on proximity and countries with a large diaspora of my main league. I will then add/remove leagues if I move country. This allows me to have a focused selection without putting a huge demand on my PC.
@@mustermannfm thanks so much! All of them running all competitions in full detail?
Aye
Absolutely love the skin and all the time and effort you put in to add different colours. I was just wondering if you've got a video on how you set your saves up? What options and leagues do you have loaded? I'm wanting to start a moneyball save with Huddersfield and I'm a bit confused as to how I start and what I should be looking for stats wise at each position.
I cover my approach, somewhat appropriately, in the first episode the PAOK/Zaragoza series: ua-cam.com/video/f-H4GfG9mH0/v-deo.htmlsi=dediGoEwuJFTxjsT
I focus on nations that have some sort of geographical or diasporic relationship with where I intend to manage, and I will add/remove leagues during the course of the save when I change teams. All leagues loaded will be on full detail.
Loving the dark skin
Great skin.
About the dribbles, I feel there's a misunderstanding somewhere. FM shows dribbles as take-ons (1v1) not as carries, I believe. So a SV should have a lot of carries but not necessarily take-ons
A dribble in FM is carrying the ball past a player. It is neither a 1v1 nor a progressive carry, but some weird in-between, as can be seen by watching the dribbles through the chalkboard.
Moreover, Francho has the Dribble More instruction, and those in that system at PAOK had approximately double. I should've said "I expect a Segundo Volante IN MY TACTIC".
The best skin on FM since '22
Appreciated brother 🙏
There goes my hero 💡💡💡
🙏
Only 2 skins i use, yours mainly and statman ❤
I'd put the game down waiting for FM25 but guess i'll have to start a new save to try the revamped skin! Open to ideas for a new save to start with this skin!
I always think the summer is a good time to try and see if you can save a team who failed in real life. Maybe someone who got relegated with little fight, like Sheffield United. Or someone who was meant to challenge for the title, but fell massively short, like Borussia Dortmund.
@@mustermannfm you know what, Dortmund sounds like such a fun idea! Thank you so much and looking forward to the skin
@@emersonbeats2641 another idea - a very general one - is any team in Serie A. It's probably the most diverse in terms of different formations used by the starting managers, and so you have a lot more that you need to adapt to.
New to the skin, incredible work, and after almost 20 years of playing FM it feels like a new game. I do have a question. When trying to track the progress of my youth team squads, the only place I can see an individual player's (limited) data is by looking at the overall coaching report, and then expanding the analysis tab inside the coach report. I think it offers eight pieces of data. However, there is nothing inside player performance. Granted, you can look in the form tab of the reports section and it offers goals and assists, but is there a way of seeing the bar charts and pizza charts of a player playing youth competitions? Or is this unavailable because the standard of competition is low?
No...the game does not properly record advanced metrics for youth players viewable at a profile level. This is a limitation of the game, I'm afraid. You can easily assess player performance, however, by looking for outliers in their respective youth competition -> Player Detailed stats page
@@mustermannfm yes thought that was the way to go. thanks for the reply, appreciate it. Last question, on the home screen, I am seeing a small sized picture of the stadium, not the same size in your tutorial vids. Is there a reason for this?
That will be dependent on the stadium images. Either depending on the pack, or the stadium, it will sometimes be smaller than the container on the home screen. These are not scaled up deliberately, because it can do some funky things with aspect ratios.
@@mustermannfm ah I understand. Thanks again! Great work
Hey mate, had a look at how to change the colours manually but I really suck with this stuff.
Is there any real dumbed down explanation as to how I can have the colours of the default game? So green for excellent, yellow for good, white for okay etc..
Let's assume for this example you are using Dark Mode. You open Mustermann Iconic 1.2 Dark/settings/Mustermann Iconic Dark Settings.xml in a text editor, such as Notepad. You use the find function (Ctrl + F) to find "low attribute". This is the section where you define the colours. Where it says value, you enter the rgb value for the colour you want. If you don't know the rgb value you want, open up something like paint. Find the colour you want, and then look at the rgb values. You enter those where it says value. For example:
You do this for each classification. They are all together in the file.
@@mustermannfm Wow. Hey, I know it can be a bit annoying having to deal with incompetent people like me lol, but you are really a top lad for responding and helping people out. I saw the rest of the comment section and you truly do take the time to help people and respond. Genuinely appreciated, thanks a lot :))))
@@tdh2044 no worries, my dude. If someone has taken time out of their day to reach out, the least I can do is respond!!
i download the skins and move the three file in the zip to ''skins'' file and and update it in the game its not work , please help
You want the specific skin folder in the "skins" file - as per the instructions here: ua-cam.com/video/j8S_LUuqYrA/v-deo.html
The "custom" option for the mugshot does not appear 😢
It does if you've installed it correctly. Remember after loading the skin you need to exit the game, and reboot FM, as the property files only load on initial startup.
Might be a dumb question, but how do I factor in how various things might be impacting the stats? For example, the stats of players in a high pressing team will have more slightly inflated # of pressures compared to a less pressing team, which might have the perfect intense BWM for me but I’ll never catch that in the data because his team never asked him to press that much
The nipple charts and percentage based metrics can be helpful in understanding a player's capacity for doing things well but, like in real life, if you're trying to sign a player who does not currently play in the same type of system as you, there is always going to be an element of risk.
@@mustermannfm thanks so much! Trying to gather more info on how to get started from some of your other videos, looks like I need to run all leagues using full match engine? Any other tips you recommend to get the most accurate/relevant data from simming the first season?
@@Flexium_GG Generally, I advise being selective with what leagues you run at full detail. Either target places that you think will produce quality players, those that you plan on managing in or with links to those you are managing in. Balancing detail with processing speed is ultimate down to your rig and play speed.
@@mustermannfm okay thanks so much. Last question for now.. you can only get the stats on players you scouted right? If so, what kinds of scouting reports do you setup to ensure a solid database of stats after simming that first season?
Nope, you get stats for all players. It's like the in-game equivalent of searching a player on FBRef
I love this skin but mine had issue with the scrolling element. Sometimes it would just break and i cannot scroll at all. Restarting the game is the only fix i had right now.
I'm playing on 2560x1080p resolution.
oh that's interesting. Never experienced that in 2 years of this layout. If it ever happens again, are you able to screen record and send me a video (to the email on this account, or upload to mediafire and send me a link)
@@mustermannfm looks like it is not an issue with the skin but my game itself. I reinstall the game and the issue is no more.
Just a question after I’ve been using the skin for a little while now - are the percentile rankings dynamic or are the thresholds based off of your aggregated database? How does the skin know which leagues are active and at what detail level if so?
It is covered in the FAQs 😉
The pizza charts are static. 5.80 headers from a centre-back will always be in the 75th percentile, for example. Comparing the Top 20 leagues (according to globalfootballrankings.com) was chosen based on initial tests that indicated consistency between what is good. E.g. A top dribbler in the Championship will complete roughly the same amount of dribbles at a top dribbler in La Liga. From 21st ranked league down, there was a notable drop-off.
You can expect a player making the jump from Championship to La Liga might see a regression in their performance, of course. And part of the challenge (in real-life, too) is identifying how much of a drop off you believe that might end up being.
The skin itself does not know which leagues are active or on full detail. You will, however, be able to see it quite easily as certain metrics are not recorded accurately (or in some cases, at all).
It is a different data set to the Moneyball Clinic, but same methodology. MC came after, and I required different data and a wider set of leagues to be assessed. For example, the data set for the skin didn't require players names. I needed unique ID as this distinguished between players with the same name, but their actual name doesn't help with determining thresholds. When it came to doing MC, knowing the player's name was suddenly a lot more useful! And so on.
@@mustermannfm dang, I should have known that my Q would be an FA’ed one! Thanks for taking the time to respond, appreciate the insight - seriously enjoying the skin. I’m finding that I’m relying more on what I’m seeing in a players performance than I am getting lost in attributes and what a player _should_ be doing, making for a really refreshing save - look forward to your next video, whatever it may be!
Absolutely love the skin!
However, right now i'm in the midst of transitioning to another skin for a network game where i want to use another skin. No matter which other skin i use i still can't see attributes on some screens, namely in the scouting section (it shows some green circles) and on staff profiles. It doesn't matter if i use another custom skin or the default one. I have tried removing the skin from the skins folder, to no avail. Do you (or anyone else) know how to fix this? :)
Yes! Switch to the new skin. Close FM. Open FM. This skin changes the properties files which are only loaded when the game boots up.
@@mustermannfm OMG thank you! Can't believe i didn't try that.
Hey, I recently downloaded your skin and I love it however there is one problem. The profiles of the players and coaches do not show the pie charts and the page is completely blank when I click on to it. Any ideas on how to fix this or where I've gone wrong. Keep up the good work
@@luandavies2875 a few things to check. Follow the installation guide in the link in the description. This includes making sure that caching is turned off when reloading and resetting the game after loading the skin. Secondly, have you played competitive games? Pizza charts won't populate until there is performance data to fill them
@@mustermannfm Thanks very much i'll try this, cant wait to use this amazing skin!
Thanks
Just a quick question. I like different attribute ranges for differwnt areas and reasons if i change the ranges will it change in game or is your default ranges solid and unchangeable
You have to do it through the skin files. It's all explained in the FAQs: community.sports-interactive.com/forums/topic/580505-fm24skin-mustermann-iconic-v12-updated-200724-light-mode-now-available/
Thank u mate. Just I noticed earlier that I didn't change my ranges from another skin I used a while back and couldn't work out if it had changed around me. If there hard coded it's fine with me mate
Super skin, truly my favorite. I just have one question. When I click on the different positions on the player profile, to the right of the statistics, the stats don’t change. Can anyone help?
The stats don't change. They still performed the same number of those metrics. The bars change as the players are now being compared to a specific player group rather than the entire pool of players.
Why are the same metrics used for each position? It's covered in the link in the FAQs, which explains the Smarter Scout pizza charts these are inspired by. Pizza Charts are there to give a high level overview. As football is a fluid game, players contribute in multiple facets, and being able to see a high level overview of how an attacker contributes out of possession, or how a defender contributes in the attacked phase is useful to identify the holistic profile of a player.
How good a laptop do you need to run this? To be honest it’s a bit too much for the level of FM I like to play (though I love your channel and the new perspective it gives me in the game) but I might give it a try. My laptop is a bog standard HP I bought 6/7 years ago for college. I know nothing about computers but I can tell you the battery is shot and it sometimes sounds like it’s about to take off and feels like it’s about to catch fire
Well I'd always be wary of running anything when you're worried that it might catch fire, but I realise that's not the question here. The skin doesn't really make any difference in terms of system requirements, but obviously it is beneficial to run leagues at full detail which can, of course, have higher demands.
Hi bro, can you please tell me the changes i need to do to have attributes as numeric values instead of circles.
You'll need to change every instance of attribute_circle to attribute_label within all the files inside the skin. You'll then probably need to realign everything, and change the font style and colours. There may be entire pages you need to rearrange.

When written in Korean, the weekly wage and contract period overlap. Please fix it. It doesn't matter if it's a player, but it's difficult to hire because you can't check the staff's abilities. Please improve.
There are no further updates planned.
You will need to edit panels/non_player/non player profile.xml. In it the sections for wages and contract are annotated. Adjust the inset to suit.
Some reason the Mugshot option doesnt appear when im in my squad screen and i open the column settings 🤔
After loading the skin, did you exit FM and reboot?
@@mustermannfm i did not but appreciate the reply. So when i reboot it should be a viable option to add , Sweet. Thanks 👌

Anyway to add the player images
On the tactics board ?
Head on over to the SI Forums. They can help you.
@ sorry for the question, but I was asking for this specific skin. Sorry if that was unclear 😅. I want to know if it is possible on your skin.
It is possible, yes. You'll have to do it yourself. I haven't designed the skin with player faces on the tactics pitch, so you'll be able to find guidance on how to do it over on the SI Forums. Which has a dedicated skinning area, and a specific thread - "Random & Small Skinning Questions".
@ perfect thank you for the information appreciate it man
Is there any possibility to change the color of the attributes? I have got some problems to distinguish different shades of red.
The FAQs linked in the description cover changing colour scheme or just attribute colours.
@@mustermannfm thanks for you reply
Hey man, great Skin!! Do you have the views pack for the ones you use in your videos? Would be asesome!
You mean the one with the title: "Not Publicly Available - It Breaks S***"? Which has the explanation in the description in every video as follows:
*CLARIFICATIONS*
The squad view in the skin in this video is not part of the public release. This is because it causes a number of issues elsewhere - including, but not limited to, being unable to see players out on loan or international squads.
@ ahhhh, haven’t seen it, thanks!
How do you change from light to dark? It’s defaulted to light
There are two skins in the download. One called dark, one called light. Select the one called Dark when changing skins.
@@mustermannfm Much appreciated!
Can you start a save using one skin, then change to this one? I'd like to give it a go but want to sort staff first.
Yes, of course
Super stuff, moneyball save on the way!
Iam PakMat. Will try to use this skin for resolution 175%
This is the best skin, for sure. I have a question, can I change the colour of the skin? Or it's automatic?
All covered in both the description for this video, and the FAQs at whichever site you download the skin from.
Any help appreciated, I’ve downloaded the new skin , deleted the old version from the skins file however it won’t update to the new version
Update : Got it sorted, skin is epic
Make sure you have the right files in the skins folder, as per the installation guide: ua-cam.com/video/j8S_LUuqYrA/v-deo.html.

@@conanmclean88 awesome! Glad it's working now!
I so wish there was a skin that divided well over two monitors. For example on match day, one screen could have the match while stats can be on the other. This would also be great for streamers as certain info can be taken and customised for the stream.
There's never a better time to learn how to do it than now...
...well actually maybe not. New UI/engine in 3 months time means it might actually be the worst time to learn thinking about it!
WTF no mustermann for fm 25😢
Indeed...but an opportunity to really take in and explore FM in it's new engine!
Can I find this in the Steam Workshop?
I'm afraid not, no. Steam is not a very friendly platform for FM skins with multiple options (in this case colour themes and translation files).
You can download from the various links in the description.
@@mustermannfm Okay, thanks!
Is this skin only for moneyball?
Depends what you mean. Do you have to sign players undervalued by the market as identified by stats? No. Is the skin (pseudo-)attributeless only? Yes.
no you did not call the column option MUGSHOT LMAO
That's actually what it's called by SI 😂. The column exists in the files, I just made it active.
@@mustermannfm SAVAGE
Dude, why don't you include a formation with players with their ratings for both teams after the match, like other skins do. That's literally only objection I have.
