I have a separate question. Does anyone know how I can remove the outlined boxes around these in the Position/Role/Duty column on the Squad screen? Thanks.

EDIT - Please ignore, I found it! I had a custom match day header panel xml that was causing the change. How do I make the top bar wider when the UI goes to the Team Selection > Submit Team page before a match? On my skin, one of the files I've used must've instructed the top bar to become smaller when it goes to these screens (look at the L-shaped 'frames' on the date widget being cut off). Any idea which one it is and how I widen it to the normal height? On every other page in the skin outside of heading into a match, it looks fine. I just don't know which file to tweak to fix the one above. Thanks for your help.

One of my favourite things out there. I love contributing to each issue and I'd strongly recommend that anyone who wants to get involved should do so too! I also know for certain that there's a couple of printed copies of LQ sitting in pride of place in a key meeting room at SI Towers

Love this, @Lestri

+1 on this. It doesn't scroll properly/effectively. Thanks.

Looking forward to this as always.

Thanks both! I wish I understood these xml files like you do. Thanks for your help so far.

You are a star @snowofman, thank you!

Mine's is from the squad screen, whereas I think yours is the default view of that on the Tactics screen? It's the squad screen I'm looking to tweak. Position/Role/Duty under the Training category.

Morning. Does anyone know if the box around the Position/Role/Duty content in that column on the squad screen can be removed? If so, which xml I need to create or tweak? Basically wanting to change this... to this ^ The second image is just a photoshop mockup. Thanks.

Thank you @snowofman! That is exactly what I needed. Lifesaver, cheers.

Does anyone know what I need to tweak in order to reduce the font size of Low / Increased / High etc and also to align the text more logically in the fields under the Fatigue column? I don't know why it's a larger font than the other fields and why the text is aligned to the top of the field rather than vertically centred by default. Thanks.

I love that player combination suggestion! Especially since in Analytical Data after a match you can see the passing combinations counted between each of the players. Simplifying that to just 'assist provider' and 'goalscorer' and making it an available chart for a team or competition seems like a nice lift and drop of similar fields of information. I've made some suggestions to SI regarding future statistics, so I think it's a case of trusting that our feedback is taken under consideration going forward. Guess we just need to 'watch this space!' There will be a plan for how the Data Hub and available metrics are expanded upon, I'm sure. My very first and most critical recommendation was a request to have key passes/chances created split into 'from open play' and 'from set pieces,' exactly like you've mentioned above @Shrewnaldo. Great minds, etc. The others were: - Every performance metric to have a 'per 90' variant included so they can be more functionally compared between players and teams who may have played a different number of games (without having to export to Excel)- PPDA (passes per defensive action) would go hand in hand with your pressing overhaul, as it gauges the intensity and effectiveness of a team's press- Post-shot xG would give more insight into the quality of an attempt on goal (and the potential save) rather than just the quality of the opportunity before a shot is attempted (which xG does)- Players Packed or Progressive Passes would give an indication of how forward-thinking a player's passing stats were. Not just how many passes were completed, or how many resulted in a shot, but how many travelled forwards and bypassed how many opposition players.- xAssists serves a similar purpose to the above, but just assigns a value to every pass a player makes to see how effective their overall passing is at creating dangerous opportunities- Number of high intensity runs or sprints would paint a clearer picture of a player's style and intent of their movement more so than just distance covered or dribbles attempted/completed. I know SciSports do this one already for in-real-life football

Hi @_Ben_. Thanks @danielgear for looping me in on this! This is absolutely excellent and I love it. As others have also said, I especially love the presentation. It's so clear to read and looks more dashboard than spreadsheet, which makes it appealing and accessible. I love the parts which drop simple insight on your lap that FM doesn't natively give you. Like: and These are great, and provide a different (and ultra-useful) perspective when trying to compare individual players from high-performing teams vs ones in low-performing sides, as per @Shrewnaldo's earlier observation. I also LOVE that you've managed to incorporate the possession adjusted variants in your sheet. That's something I should really figure out how to do. I assume the team's average possession so far this season needs aggregated manually and input somewhere for each individual player analysis? I've done a similar thing to your 'as a creator,' 'as a finisher,' 'as a defender' sections, just with different names (creative efficiency, striking efficiency, defensive interferences), but the concept is the same. I've tied in the player's salary to try and tie the defensive or offensive actions to a value, almost in line with the "trying to buy points" value-driven stats analysis recruitment philosophy, but not sure if something like that fits in with your intentions here? I am writing a guide just now for my Excel bit, but my main frustration is wishing I could automate multiple 'find and replace' commands to occur the moment the user hits 'paste.' I don't know VB though I wish I did! Does your automation involve any clever macros? If so, teach me! I am keen to help however I can on this, even if it's just as a sounding board for feedback. What's your Twitter @_Ben_, so I can follow?
