Another option is rinaldo's Database Master (DBM) editing program.

Use it to:

Transfer players from EA squad updates;
Install icon players for use in career mode, WC mode, etc.
To prepare db file sets for editing using DBM:
In File Explorer, right-click on each file and choose
Export Legacy File.
Download onto your desktop.
Create a new folder on your desktop.
Name the folder
db and place the 2 downloaded files inside.
Start DBM.
Click on
Data/Open DB (top toolbar, left) to locate and load the 2 files.
Create another folder on your desktop and name it
tables.
Click on
Export All Tables (lower toolbar, left) and export into the
tables folder.
These are your default db tables, ready to edit.
Make a back-up copy of these files before editing.
