01 / DIRECT ANSWER
How do you edit current-season goals, assists or clean sheets?
Create a backup, stay outside FC’s built-in Edit Player screen, press F9 → Features → Players and open the exact player’s Season Statistics tab. Choose the correct competition row, then use −/+ beside Goals, Assists or Clean Sheets. Keep the value between 0 and 100. The stat saves automatically with no separate confirmation; re-enter the FC stats surface, save/reload the Career test slot and verify the same player–competition row.
Correct the credited scorer inside one current-season competition row.
EDITABLE · 0–100Repair the assist total without changing appearances or average rating.
EDITABLE · 0–100Correct the stored total; first rule out a stale base-game display issue.

Visible and normalized by the export script.
Do not convert visibility into permission. The creator screenshot shows COMP, AVG and APP, but the current Wiki text authorizes only Goals, Assists and Clean Sheets.
03 / INTERACTIVE SEASON LEDGER
Plan the correction, classify the row and prepare the archive
The local ledger guards 0–100, separates UI scope from Lua-generated scope and produces the exact dated filename shape used by the official exporter. It neither edits FC nor writes a CSV.
No game or file access
Correct one competition row
The actual Season Statistics tab uses −/+ and automatically saves the new stat value. This desk only plans a bounded change and never sends it to Live Editor.

04 / COMPETITION-ROW OWNERSHIP
There is no single universal season counter
The player ID anchors the person—not the total.
`compobjid` anchors the competition record.
The chosen key anchors what changes.
No all-competition inference.
The API returns an array because one player can own several current-season competition records. Always record the label and, for advanced proof, its competition object ID.
05 / AUTOMATIC FIELD SAVE
No Confirm button belongs between plus and proof
The Wiki says the new stat value saves automatically.
Refresh the visible view and inspect the same competition row.
Prove persistence in the separate test slot.
06 / MODE & GENERATED SCOPE
The editing promise is narrower than the Lua read model
- Same competitions as managed team
- Plus European cups
- Current ongoing season
- Same competitions
- European cups
- International cups
Scope discipline: the API’s international-cup wording does not silently expand the Wiki’s Season Statistics editing promise.

11 / ORIGINAL CSV ROBUSTNESS AUDIT
A comma in text can create a seventeenth token
Academy Forward→16 tokensALIGNEDSample, Jr.→17 tokensSHIFTEDWhy: the official Lua code uses `table.concat(row, ",")` without CSV quoting or escaping. Preserve the raw file, import as comma-delimited, inspect alignment and repair only a working copy.
12 / SEASON ROLLOVER

Edit and verify player–competition records.
External read-only archive with 16 columns.
No automatic merge or re-import is documented.
Repeat the archive at the end of every season and keep the Career season/date with each file. The filename date alone is not a season identifier.
13 / CLEAN-SHEET DISPLAY HISTORY
Map the FC build before correcting a suspicious value
EA documented an incorrect Player Stats display.
Official update notes record the fix.
Check mapped build, no-edit control and exact competition row.
A historical display bug is not authority to overwrite a current value. Establish whether the source record or only its display is wrong.
14 / FRESH VIDEO AUDIT
No current result proved the edit-plus-export chain
Three searches returned 25 results and 21 unique videos on 17 August 2026. They mixed goals compilations, Career setup, Player Career critique, goalkeeper tips, FC Mobile, Football Manager, Excel and Mod Manager.
No current result showed Season Statistics auto-save, reload proof and official CSV together.
At 21:43, Player Stats are empty before a tournament starts.
Current, caption-backed and rejected as action authority.
Search noise itself supports a creator-doc-first evidence order.
EVIDENCE DECISION Creator docs control fields, scope and export; EA controls base-game fixes. Videos supply empty-state vocabulary only.
15 / FAQ
Season Statistics editing and archive questions
01How do I edit a player’s season goals in FC 26 Live Editor?+
Create a backup, stay outside FC’s built-in Edit Player screen, open F9 → Features → Players, edit the exact player and select Season Statistics. Choose the correct competition row and use plus or minus beside Goals. The field auto-saves and needs no separate confirmation.
02Which season statistics can Live Editor edit?+
The current Wiki documents three editable totals: goals, assists and clean sheets. It does not authorize editing appearances, average rating, cards, saves or other values from this tab.
03What values are safe for goals, assists and clean sheets?+
The creator warns not to go below 0 or above 100. Keep every edited field inside the inclusive 0–100 band and use a restored test slot when approaching either edge.
04Do Season Statistics changes need Player Save or Confirm?+
No separate stat-tab confirmation is documented; the Wiki says each new value saves automatically. Still refresh the FC surface and save/reload the Career test slot to prove persistence.
05Why are League, Cup and Europe totals separate?+
Statistics are stored as player–competition records. The Lua API exposes a competition object ID for each row, so changing one League row does not prove an all-competitions total changed.
06Which players and competitions can I edit?+
The UI Wiki limits Season Statistics to Career players participating in the same competitions as the managed team plus European cups. The broader Lua generation wording also mentions international cups, but that does not expand the UI promise.
07Why are Player Stats empty at the start of a Career?+
The game needs a started tournament and generated competition records. A current video shows the Player Stats surface unavailable before a tournament begins; this is an empty state, not proof that Live Editor failed.
08How do I preserve statistics before the next season?+
Before season rollover, run the official export_season_stats.lua in Career Mode. Confirm the dated SEASON_STATS_DD_MM_YYYY.csv appears on Desktop, contains 16 headers and includes the expected player–competition rows.
09Why is a player missing from the exported CSV?+
The official exporter includes only valid player IDs whose appearances value is greater than zero. It also depends on the competition rows generated by FC.
10Does the CSV exporter restore historical stats inside FC 26?+
No. It creates an external archive. The script warns that FC resets current-season stats at the start of a new season; it does not import or merge old seasons back into the Career.
11Are every one of the 16 exported columns reliable?+
No. The creator explicitly marks MOTM, saves, goals conceded and two-yellow as uncertain. Preserve those labels and do not present them as verified totals.
12Why can names with commas break the CSV layout?+
The official script joins values with commas without quoting or escaping text. Preserve the raw file and inspect column alignment before analysis when a player, team or competition name contains commas.
