The Pre-Game Editor (PGE) is a powerful tool that can be used to edit the data you use in an FM save. This includes editing club names, finances, player attributes, competition rules etc.

The PGE is available on the Steam, Epic and Microsoft Stores to download for free. It's available on PC and Mac, but not Console or Mobile.

You can edit almost any entity in the game. People, clubs, competitions, nations, stadiums, awards etc. This includes details such as, finances, attributes, kits, and much more. You can also edit the rules of existing and new competitions to your liking.
