Hello, I'm Jenna.

Football fan, Football Manager obsessive, spreadsheet enthusiast and the person behind theFFM.

I've spent more than 20 years playing Football Manager, far too much time looking at football statistics and an unreasonable amount of time building spreadsheets. Eventually, I decided to put some of that to use.

A little about me.

I'm Jenna, a lifelong Sheffield Wednesday supporter and someone who has been playing Football Manager for over two decades. I've always enjoyed the detail behind football, whether that's discovering new players, exploring different teams or getting lost in the numbers behind the game.

Women's football is another big interest of mine. I enjoy following the game, learning more about the players and clubs involved and finding ways to bring more of that world into Football Manager. I'm particularly interested in the data side of things and the stories that can be found when you look a little closer.

Away from football, I like organising things, making lists, collecting things and creating projects. I'm naturally curious, which often means one small idea turns into a much bigger project than I originally intended. Spreadsheets are usually involved somewhere.

So, what is theFFM?

theFFM started as a place to share my Football Manager projects, spreadsheets and ideas. Over time, my interests have grown, and so has the website. What began as a fairly focused Football Manager space has gradually become somewhere for all sorts of football-related projects and interests.

You'll now find Football Manager content, Fantasy Football, women's football, player research, data projects and tools, alongside the occasional personal interest that probably doesn't fit anywhere else. I like having the freedom to work on different things without having to squeeze everything into one category.

theFFM is very much a personal project. There's no big team behind it, no publishing schedule to follow and no particular formula. It's simply a place to share things I enjoy making, things I've learned and things that I hope other people might find useful.

Made out of curiosity.

I enjoy finding answers, exploring data and making things that other people might find useful. A lot of my content starts with a question or something I've become interested in. From there, I'll usually start researching, comparing information and seeing where the idea takes me.

I tend to prefer the research and data side of football content. I like having something to explore, something to learn and something useful to share at the end of it. That might be a player shortlist, a spreadsheet, a Fantasy Football recommendation or a new Football Manager project.

Not everything needs to be serious, though. Sometimes it's just about enjoying football, following an interesting story or getting far too invested in a new save.

Everything here is created because I enjoy doing it. Hopefully, you'll find something interesting, useful or at least worth a read.

Fancy a chat?
