  • 2 min read

Updated: Jan 5

This installation manual has been tested and is working for FM2016 - FM2025.

Sorry, default faces are currently not working in FM2026.

Do you have the solution? Please get in touch with us!


🔎 The ZIP software you need.

  • Windows OS users need 'WinRaR' to unzip the downloaded file.

    For smooth file extraction, we recommend using the original free WinRAR software. If you encounter any problems, try '7-Zip' or the default zip software on your PC.


  • Mac OS users need 'The Unarchiver' to unzip the downloaded file.

    For smooth file extraction, we recommend using the default Mac Unarchiver software. If you encounter problems, try 'KEKA' or 'Decompressor' for MAC OS.


With Mac Unarchiver, you might first need to activate RAR + Zip Archive on the 'Archive formats screen.'




Compatibility


Default silhouette faces can be used in all versions of Football Manager.


⚠️ The DF11 Default faces are compatible with the default skin and custom skins.

Both have separate manuals because the installation is slightly different.



Installation manual


If playing with the default Football Manager skin(s):

  1. Download the DF11 Default facepack below.

  2. Unpack the file with the recommended zip software.

  3. Place the folder named 'DF11 default faces' into:

    Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20**/graphics

    (Create the graphics folder manually if it doesn't exist already)

  4. Run Football Manager and move to Preferences > Interface.

    Activate the box 'Reload skin when confirming changes in preferences'

    Deactivate the box 'Use caching to decrease page loading times'

  5. Hit the confirm button.



If a face is missing from the DF11 Megapack, Football Manager will display the DF11 default faces of your choice!




⚙️ If playing with custom skins:

(Skins created by others, such as Priisek, FLUT, Material, Andromeda skin, etc.)


Sometimes, a skin already contains a silhouette image for game characters.

You will first have to remove this from the skin.


  1. Download the DF11 Default facepack below.

  2. Unpack the file with the recommended zip software.

  3. Go to the skin folder on your computer and look in the skin folders for a folder named "pictures" or "faces," usually located here:


    Windows: Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20** /skins/'skin name'/graphics/pictures


    Mac: Username/Library (= hidden)/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20**/skins/'skin name'/graphics/pictures


  1. Delete the folder that contains the silhouette image.


  1. After this, place the DF11 Default folder in the skin in the same location.

    Usually at this location:


    Windows: Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20** /skins/'skin name'/graphics/pictures/DF11 Default faces


    Mac: Username/Library (= hidden)/Application Support/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 20**/skins/'skin name'/graphics/pictures/DF11 Default faces


  1. Run Football Manager and move to Preferences > Interface.

  2. Activate the box 'Reload skin when confirming changes in preferences'

    Deactivate the box 'Use caching to decrease page loading times.'

  3. Hit the confirm button.
