Things to watch
The author has not tested everything yet, so they ask you to back up your save and turn on autosave, although they have had no crashes. The installer also checks your FM27 version and changes nothing if the game has been updated. For now it only works on Windows. There are two known issues: you can open several stats popups at once, and a Data Hub popup opened from the opposition report opens behind it. Finally, the author promises a full «Hardcore» version with attributes as words and hidden potential. If you would rather hide the numbers now, see the MoneyBall Skin.
