To help for the data, first of all, you need to tell me 1) which club(s) you are familiar with most, 2) Your name, 3) your email address(es). After that, I will send you a tool developed by SI which is used for setting the raw official FM data of your favourite club. That tool will allow you to edit every piece of player/non-playing staff data (including all hidden data) of your clubs. For the first ever time, I won't expect you to make the data to be perfect and only 7 ~ 8 days will be given for you to edit the data. This is because 1) I need to test whether the subscriber will really work on the data (if someone applies to be assistant researcher but finally he ran away without informing me, the data of that club will be suspended because of those irresponsible subscribers) and 2) to see how well you can understand for setting the player data because to set FM player data is very abstract and subjective. Mistakes could be made very easy.

After you have finished it, return back the data to me and around 2 to 3 months, I will give you back the data for regular updates.

For the tool, it is similar to the data editor along with the game so if you have experience using the editor before, it will be easier for you to use.

Besides, I would like to point out that everyone who has helped for the research will be credited in the Research Credit part in the coming FM series and everyone in the world will know your contribution.
