FM Role Calculator

The role calculator turns a player's attributes (1–20, as in Football Manager) into the roles he fits best, with a fit percentage.

Attributes (1–20)
Paste attributes as text

Pick a position, enter the player's attributes and press Calculate. You get the three best in-possession roles, the three best out-of-possession roles and, for outfield players, the positions that suit him.

How the fit is worked out

Each role has three key attributes (weight 3) and a few useful ones (weight 1). Fit % = the weighted sum of your numbers divided by the weighted maximum (20 each). So a striker with 18 Finishing, 16 Off the Ball and 15 First Touch scores high for Centre Forward even with average Heading. See every role and its key attributes on roles explained.

In short

Pick a position, type or paste the numbers, press Calculate and read the ranked in-possession and out-of-possession roles. The formula weights each role's key attributes three times and its useful attributes once; it is our own, not Sports Interactive's. Roles use FM26's set (68 roles), which FM27 builds on. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent.

Questions people ask

How does the FM role calculator work?

It averages your attributes with weights: three for the role's key attributes and one for useful ones, then ranks the roles of the chosen position.

Does it work for FM26 and FM27?

Yes for FM26's role set; SI has not announced a new FM27 role list as of 14 October 2026. We will check it on release day.

Which attributes matter most for a striker or a centre-back?

For a Centre Forward: Finishing, Off the Ball, First Touch. For a Centre-Back: Marking, Tackling, Positioning. Other roles differ; the calculator shows them.

Can I paste attributes straight from the game?

Yes, as text lines such as 'Passing 15'. Open 'Paste attributes as text', paste and press Fill from text.
