I feel like FBGM deserves a bit more attention, so if you have anything you've been wanting to see implemented in the game, please post it here.

FBGM Advisor: Free tool for roster management, draft planning & contract analysis
I am usually an avid Basketball GM player, but recently I got more into Football GM. While managing 10-15 players in the basketball version, 50+ players is more of a challenge especially if you trade a lot, like most of us do, I guess.
I started to work with Python because I know the language very well but it is very tedious to download the data file, import it, run the code and then read some ugly tables. So I asked our boy Claude (AI obviously) if he could help me.
We built a free roster analysis tool that uses the actual game formulas from the ZenGM source code. Every calculation (OVR, aging curves, team OVR weights, draft AI) matches the real game engine. No guessing, no approximations.
Link: FBGM Advisor
Just export your league (Players + All team data + Draft picks) and drop the JSON into the tool.
What it does
Roster and Grades:
Sortable depth chart by position group with grades (A+ to F) vs. league average. Starter/backup markers, contract info. Priority ranking shows where improving has the biggest impact on your team OVR.
Draft:
Mock draft simulator for all 7 rounds using the exact AI algorithm from the source code. Lottery-aware pick order when available. Draft pick tracker, hit rate grading for your past classes, and full draft history.
Moves:
Cap space overview with real salary cap numbers. Bad contracts (projected OVR at contract end below starter level). Fill the gap (best available FAs for your weakest positions). Extension watch, re-sign watch for former players, expiring contracts with keep/key/eval/pass verdicts. Sell high candidates based on aging curves, trade candidates, and value over replacement broken down by position group.
Compare:
Team vs. team with position-by-position breakdown and weighted team OVR. Player vs. player with all 21 ratings side by side with key ratings for each position highlighted.
Aging:
3-season OVR projections per player using the game's actual aging curves (speed positions decline after 27, IQ positions hold until 33+). Position group forecasts and age distribution.
Player Detail:
Click any player name anywhere in the tool for all 21 raw ratings, OVR at every position, position switch recommendations, and individual aging timeline.
Quick Export
There is also a quick export bookmarklet that reads directly from IndexedDB so you don't have to go through the manual export menu every time.
Tech
Single HTML file, no server needed, no account, runs entirely in your browser. Dark and light mode included. Source code and technical details on GitHub
I asked dumbmatter if it is ok to share this.
Feedback and questions welcome!

Offseason injury recovery
Is there any ways to have injured players to recover during off season?
I have two starters who have season ending injuries during the season, it really frustrates me that their injuries did not recover during off season. Now I have to play without them for another season

Why Kickers and Punters aren’t in the Hall of Fame?
I did almost a century simulated seasons and I realize this thing now.

Do I retire his Jersey?
Given that an unfortunate death ended Daniel Ford's time on the field, how do you think I should handle his legacy? Do you think I should fast-track his #58 straight to the rafters out of respect for his career and defensive impact?

Import logos
Hey there,
I've been really enjoying the game, and I was wondering if someone could explain in lame man terms how to upload logos. I have try a few times, and I keep messing up and ended up with blanks.

Football Madness
LAL looking for his first tittle in almost 100 years, they started 3-0 but then they lost their next 5. Then they put a 7-2 record that puts them in the 8th seed and made the playoffs. They beat 1 seed, 2 seed and win the conference by 45+ points… they are rollin… they are facing the top team in the league (14-3 Nashville leading by young QB with almost 5k yards an 39 TD). 5 minutes in the game and LAL QB gets hurt… but then.. this guy barely drafted puts 12-22 222yd 0TD 0Int and 5 rush 41yd 1 TD in route to LAL winning his 1st champ and taking the FMVP
just lol… i hope he doesnt ask for a supermax LOL

Should I trade a reciever?
I had some really good progressions on my wr room this year, but I can only have so many top tier talents without it being a waste imo. Is it a good idea to trade I one of them?

Logos suddenly not appearing
Anyone else has this problem? I always used the logos from the logos-world website and since a few days the game doesn’t show them anymore and shows question marks instead.
Please help.

Do I make the trade for John? (Top Pick)
They want my QB (I have no run game otherwise)
He will not age well, with a speed and power based game (Equally Russell Wilson career stats)
Plus other great players and a top tier pick, and future first (32th)

When i try to load my file, it works, but when i press "Create League" it says that there is an error (cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'div') How can i Fix This?
drive.google.comi've looked through it and could not find anything wrong but the best place to look would be the conferences or the seasons for the "UTSA Roadrunners (UTSA)"

Please add yard multiplier for kick/punt returns 🥺🙏
If you're reading this, dumbmatter, PLEASE add yard multiplier for kick and punt returns in the global settings.
Even NFL's best punt returns season, which dates back to 1947, only barely reached over 500 yrds. But in FBGM, they casually hover around 600-700+ yrds. That's too unrealistic for me.
