What is fc26-career-tools?

FC26 Career Tools is a personal web dashboard built to analyze squad data from EA FC 26's Career Mode, the football management side of the game. It works alongside a separate tool called FIFA Live Editor: you export your squad using a Lua script included in this repository, then upload the resulting spreadsheet file into the dashboard to see it visualized. Once a squad file is uploaded, the dashboard offers several views. An overview tab shows a full searchable table of every player with filters for position and preferred foot, sortable columns, and contract status. A development tab tracks growth potential, highlights prospects under 25 years old, and flags veteran players. A player profile tab shows an individual player as a stylized card with detailed attribute bars, and a compare tab places two players side by side for a full attribute breakdown. A contracts tab organizes players by how urgently their contract needs attention, and a squad depth tab shows a visual pitch across seven formation options with drag and drop player assignment. The project is built with React and Vite for the interface, styled using Tailwind CSS and DaisyUI, with charts handled by Recharts and drag and drop handled by the dnd-kit library, and it is hosted on Vercel. Getting the Lua export script working requires FIFA Live Editor specifically, using its version 2 Lua API, and the README notes it will not work with Cheat Engine based tools instead. The README describes this as a personal project meant for individual Career Mode saves rather than something built for wide public use, and notes it was built entirely with AI assistance. A roadmap lists planned features not yet built, including season stats, match results, transfer history, and a youth academy tracker.
