How to create a player in FM2009

As you probably know, Football Manager 2009 comes, just like previous games in the series, with a "Data editor" which also allows you to create a player of your wish (so you can be a football player in the game!). Below I have created a tutorial on how to create a player in FM 2009, in a few easy steps.

1. Locate your install folder of the game and double click on the "tools" folder, then "data editor"

2. After the editor opens, press "Ctrl+O" and a new pop-up window will appear where you have to select the database you want to edit (the default or updated one). Make your selection, press OK button and wait a little while for the actual data to load.

3. In the upper toolbar, go to "Edit" and select "Create Person". A pretty self-explanatory window will pop up, allowing you to create your player. Simply enter his name, choose the stats, club and prefered move and you're ready to go. Navigation is done by clicking on the various tabs - both on the left on the window, and on top.

4. Before quitting and enjoying your created player, make sure you Save the database by pressing "Ctrl + S".
