Change a player's name

Type any name into First Name, Last Name or Common Name. Only this player changes, and the new name can be longer than the old one, up to 64 characters.

2. Type the name. As you type, the box lists up to 8 names already in the game that start with your text.
3. Keep your own text, or take a name from the list by selecting it, or by highlighting it and pressing Enter. Esc closes the list and keeps your text.
4. Select Save Changes. A Saving changes… window can appear for a moment while FMRTE looks the name up.

Reopen the player's profile in Football Manager to check the name. The game's display may need time to refresh. You can undo the change in Edit History.

First Name and Last Name can't be empty. FMRTE shows A first or last name can't be empty. and saves nothing. You can clear Common Name.

Limits on typed names

On some setups, such as Linux, a name from the list still changes only this player, but typing a new one changes the existing name:

• The new name can't be longer than the current one. FMRTE shows This name is too long to save here. Use one no longer than the current name.
• If other people share the name, a prompt asks whether to rename them too. Yes renames all of them and No cancels the change.
• Full Name and Shirt Name can only be cleared. FMRTE shows A full or shirt name can't be changed here. You can only clear it.

Change the primary nationality

1. Open Information.
2. Choose the nation in Nationality.
3. Review Nationality Info and select the status you intend to set.
4. Select Save Changes.

To keep the current nationality and add another, use Other Nationality in Relationships.

Nationality does not automatically grant home-grown status, a work permit or registration. See Registration and permits.
