As platforms and emulators vary, there are 2 file formats to choose from:

Both these files are zipped, and contain the following :
- The FMR Game in the specified format.
- The FMR Editor in the specified format.
- Guidance notes for both, as PDF documents.
- All the 26 built-in countries as individual editable files. (They're still built-in as well).
- Two additional sample countries created with the Editor: Croatia.tzx and Thailand.tzx
Here's some of the changed pages in the 2021 edition and a list of the additional features:
1. The match highlights dribbling sequence now runs quicker due to increased use of m/code.
2. Youth players now have at least a full season after promotion to the squad before their skill level is randomised - to avoid them only being promoted at the end of a season.
3. A pre-match motivational speech can be given up to 3 times per season if team morale is very low. The effect on morale is less each time it is used.
4. A small number of random players now have 'super energy' and do not normally lose an energy point after a match is played. You may or may not have any in your squad.
5. The player +/- stats of positioning, ball control and pace are now randomised each season and can be affected by training. Skills training affects positioning and ball control whilst pace is affected by energy training.
6. Opponents no longer always use your reserve kit colour upon kit clashes. Their reserve kits can now be either black, blue, red or purple depending on your primary kit colour.
7. The captain is now identified on the team selection screen with a (c) symbol.
8. The team morale drop after losing a cup/playoff match is now usually less drastic.
9. The higher your Manager's score, the greater the chances of being offered a job at a club in a higher division between seasons.
10. There's now 3 continental youth squads instead of a global one (European/African, South American, and Asian), and your club gets players from the appropriate squad depending on the country in use.
11. The total matches played and wins ratio data have been added to the Manager's Career stats page.
12. Four more media questions have been added.
13. A sprinkling of new static graphics have been added.
14. The maximum squad size has been increased from 17 to 18 players, which can be useful if you have several injuries/suspensions.
15. The squad list now updates and prints more quickly.
16. The game intro screen has been enhanced.
17. The real Algerian 2nd division is now structured into 2 parallel divisions which FMR cannot support, so Algeria has been replaced by neighbours Morocco in the game database.
18. South Korea now has 4 divisions in the database.
