change name in FHM

northjersey · 04-22-2026, 08:34 PM

is it possible to change my own (gm) name in FHM (v11)? I currently have it set to Tom Fitzgerald and want to update to Sunny Mehta. is that option only available on July 1st (if at all) ?

i found out how to change my name, but does FHM (11 or 12) provide the ability to switch to another (existing) manager? if not then create a new manager that I can run a team?

OOTP seems to have the ability to "add a new manager" which seems to allow this, but I can't find anything similar in FHM

How I do it is as follows:

1. load your save
2. select Joe Average as the active manager
3. go to the MANAGER tab and select ADD/ EDIT HUMAN MANAGER (does not have to be an online league for this method to work)
4. Click ADD ADDITIONAL MANAGER button
5. Add your PERSONAL INFO and select which team you want to control
6. Click OK button.

go back to the MANAGER tab and select your preferred manager.

You can also retire in your game - which causes you to create a new manager in the world.

i don't have the option to ADD MANAGER, maybe it's only available in particular modes, such as online/multiplayer league ?

Yes, sorry. You need to play with multi-player mode.

I use this setup during some historical saves/experiments. I prefer to control certain options on all the teams to reduce, IMHO, AI mismanagement in certain areas.
