HiddenXI is a scouting lab for Football Manager 2026. You export a squad from FM, drop the CSV in, and the app turns it into role-aware ratings, market value signals, and stylistic replacement suggestions. Every number traces back to the stats it came from.
About HiddenXI
A community scouting lab for FM26.
What it is
Why it exists
The FM community has been playing Moneyball for years, but the tooling to actually do it has stayed scattered across spreadsheets, forum posts, and one-off Python scripts. HiddenXI brings that into one place.
It is built for the managers who want to know why a player rates the way they do, who enjoy finding a loan gem in the Danish second division, and who care about squad building as much as tactics.
How it thinks
HiddenXI scores players against their peers in the same role, weighted by the traits that role actually needs. A progressive centre back is not measured on the same things as a box striker. On top of that it cross-references market value and wages against performance, so bargain gems your scouts missed bubble up naturally.
Everything is deterministic maths. No mystery model is making the calls. If the app says a player is a 91 finisher, you can trace that number back through the trait weights and the stat percentiles that produced it.
Not affiliated with Football Manager
HiddenXI is a community project. It is not made by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Sports Interactive, SEGA, or any official Football Manager entity. Football Manager is a trademark of Sports Interactive. HiddenXI just reads the CSVs you generate from the game and does maths on them.
Faces, badges, and kits
HiddenXI does not bundle player faces, club logos, or any other FM artwork. If you want to see them in the app, you can plug in your own face or logo packs. Anything you upload is your responsibility, not ours.
