Saving Doctorbenjy’s Save
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 เม.ย. 2021
- So Doctorbenjy is a great football manager player. Some of you might not know this fact, but he is very good at FM. You simply cannot play FM as much as he does without knowing what you’re doing. But, sometimes, you end up in a save where you need a fresh set of eyes on scouting and tactics and so on, and that is where I come in here. It was pointed out that doctorbenjy has been struggling with his wonderfully entertaining Thames save (full credit for making it fun to watch while struggling) so I had to appear to help out my friend.
We had to touch on every part of the save to find ways to improve, with the vanarama national league being even more challenging in FM21 than it has been in years past. There was room on tactics and scouting, but also the way players were maintained and the transfer policy was conducted gave doctorbenjy a chance to improve his team he may not have had before. This is all the advantage of an outside look at this whole save, but it really was a lot of fun to talk shop with someone who plays the game as much as I do, that is, for a living. Football Manager for the win here.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

I can't believe Ben has gone for me there.
Tell Ben about Quansah and the Pilgrims!!
but.. what would you have done or said? :)
Really? Have you met Ben before?
@@meowwww9275 lol, you're asking this?
Trust a friend to give you no respect, hahahaaha.
Petition to edit in Zealand Shannon as Director of Football for the AFC Thames save
Okok
Thanks for having me on mate! I can do with every bit of help right now, big love
But did it work
@@jameswg13 lol no. no it didn't.
Which episode is this advice implemented from? Would love to see the consequences lol
@@tiresais ep 76
@@tiresais its about 71 or so i think. The whole season (series) has been a real struggle and amazing to watch. Benji is doing the summer transfer window on Twitch today, I think he said, so hopefully the advice for scouting will help in that!
Wearing the Everton shirt just to make this whole experience even worse for Ben. I love it.
Lower league step to success:
- Stick to absolute basics
- 4-4-2
- play direct and fast
- physical attributes are everything
- set pieces are your friend
From a 37 year old CM/FM player,
have a great day.
I'm confused why do people say lower league football doesn't have a lot of beauty in the plays
bro youre ancient
@@doggerlander might as well put him in the museum
Sliders were immense for this, max the creative freedom on like, 3 players and just rip defences apart on the break with "fluidity" (wingers that come inside and the forward who isn't a complete lump dropping deep), while 6 players sit on the edge of your own box and one boi just straps himself to the oppo centre back.
“What about Alistar Hockin?”

@@amo-kd9cn hahaha omg
I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy or even you.
"Cabbage is good" doesn't need context, it is what it is
To be honest this is one of the things that I love about the game. There's such a broad spectrum of ways to play and enjoy the game. I really enjoy starting at a small/mid tier team and build that up to a point where I get a job offer from a fallen giant, or eventually get to the biggest clubs in the world and create a dynasty there. A friend of mine enjoys taking a lower league team and building them up to become a powerhouse, another friend of mine enjoys staying in lower leagues, or with relegation candidates to save them from relegation and then move on to another team in trouble. None of it is wrong and it all requires mastering different parts of the game and it's all in the same game
Yup. I always say that FM falls l, at least partially, into the genre of story generator. Like Dwarf Fortress or RimWorld. But you know, with football spreadsheets...
Back here after Thames are in the Premier League
Whenever you and Ben are on screen together it's gold
Up the saints la
Brilliant and insightful. Ive been watching Bens save recently but I’m only up to episode 17, can’t wait to catch up to this. My recent save saw me stuck in Vanarama South for 3 seasons and Vanarama National for three seasons. Hard leagues. I got out of National by going to Prem clubs every March and seeing who was being released from u23 and u18s. If you offer a trial and they accept, you have a good chance they will sign. Most would not come on trial but each year I’d pick up 3 or 4 potentials. Filled out the team nicely and as they were playing regularly they developed. This also saw us able to compete in league 2 after promotion. I know you can highlight the whole youth squads and add to shortlist etc but I got too many notifications.
I've been 2nd to 4th in the Vanarama national for 5 years, I understand Benjy's pain
I have been losing playoff FINALS from championship to premier for 4 straight years, in the end decided to scumsave
I've been stuck for 8 years in the national league on my youth only save. Lost in the playoffs at least 4 times.
"And so on your set piece you need Cabbage"
Never thought I'd hear that with regards to FM but here we are!
Wearing the Everton shirt just to trigger Ben. I LOVE IT 😻
Bruh who disliked a 23 minute video that came out 3 minutes ago
Jack
would be uploaded, but not public. So pateron, or someone somehow got the link for the video.
They missed the like button obvs
Maybe Kev (Lollujo), as he's struggling to get promoted with Holme from CH to PL. 😀
I love saving saves gonna be honest
I love the friendly banter between Zealand, Doctorbenjy and WorkTheSpace.
Sometimes a new set of eyes and someone who isn't emotionally invested over a long run is very helpful. Great episode and now you are making me go watch the entire run. OK coffee and a clear mind for 70 episodes. Cant tell you how much I thank you.
The FM multiverse. In tomorrow’s episode AFC Thames plays a friendly against Bourne USA ...
Congrats on 100K Z, enjoy your content everytime!
New to your channel and fm in general your tips videos make the game ten times more enjoyable thanks brother keep up the content! And I'm an everton fan so loving the shirt
Until now I saw many football managers youtubers but none of them have your charisma to be honest I really enjoy what you are doing and I learn a lot hopefully I will be able to apply most of what I learn from you. Keep up the good work :)
Love both you guys, this was a fun video to watch. I am confident that Thames are well on for promotion next season (if they get the board takeover that Ben so desperately needs....)
I loved this. This is exactly how I speak to people to try and help there save/get them out of a slump in their own save, sometimes allowing someone to look over your shoulder is a great way to reinvigorate a save. Quality.
Absolutely fascinating thank you both
Well done getting to 100k. Big fan from Iceland
@ZEALAND: The fundamental problem in this save is that as fun as the English league was in FM 20 and earlier, England is a terribly unpleasant and unforgiving time to play in FM21 AS A LOWER LEAGUE TEAM due to the new changes due to GB leaving the EU. As years go by, you will see a huge dip in released player quality. In FM 20 and earlier, you can grab some Premier League youngsters and make them into top Vanarama N/S to L1 players as they come. In 6 years, the released players have Potential Ability of 70-80 max as English clubs under the Brexit rules do crazy things to keep anything over 80+ PA. TAKE NOTE: This affects everything, from loans to released players that lower league clubs thrive on. From a pyramid, where top teams were giving to lower teams, now it is a down-top, backwards pyramid, where lower teams are getting eaten out of their 100+ PA players by their superiors cause they NEED those players. If it persists, we might as well have League 2 as the lowest league in England. TEAMS IN ENGLAND WILL PAY 20M for players of PA 130-140 in L1 just to save themselves by having more Home Grown players.
As such, in a way, Zealand, while giving proper feedback is not well equipped to understand what is happening. He is trying to do his best but he needs to really play as a lower league team in England. My favorite game is York FC to Prem and I love doing it in every iteration of FM. Sadly, things are so much more difficult in this one, making many other leagues so much more fun playing with.
If you play some of the teams that can get into the Premier League within 1-3 years within the starting date of the game, you will be just fine. Anything 4+ (say York FC in tier 6 to Premier League) will be miserable without extensive knowledge of the game and maybe some savescumming.
As such, Zealand, be aware of this, and do not compare England saves to any other saves you have encountered.
Shouldn't other clubs also have these issues? Why are you at the bottom of the reputation list for five years? It's also a database issue. In DanFM's db you at least get a decent amount of supporters from the start (at least as FC Isle of Man) and teams get a decent number of newgens that doesn't happen in another database (see lollujo's last FCIOM video). A big con is that you can't sell players for profit (in 7+years I've sold 1 player for a whopping 1k pounds), but that's alright because the income from gate receipts are pretty high. I'm at a balance of 550.000 pounds
@@Creddiam You can subsist like that for a long time, no doubt, but in FM you eventually want to progress through the leagues. Seeing the WNT icon next to a newgen as a lower league team just a few months into getting them is probably one of the worst feelings in the world as you know that you can barely keep that player. I use my own tricks to keep them as long as possible, but having to go through the same game dialogues every few weeks is getting pretty irritating.
@@BaiDobchan Lol my newgens are shite anyway
get players from teams higher up u23s then
Great watch dudes, keep it up!
You need to do a video with him after he finally gets out of Vanarama and add Jack on there as well
Jack could just laugh at it and say i got out first try
I’ve only seen the title, yet I know this gonna be gooooood...
Been refreshing all day for this.
Congrats on 100k!!
the intro was FOKIN LIT
I cannot wait for the Kevvy 5 times episode were The Champ gets help to get out of tier 8 of the US pyramid
This is the most ambitious crossover since the Avengers
I signed Kabic for Hearts of Midlothian. He is currently our best player and hopefully has alot of development to go
This guys saves lives🔥🔥
Congrats on 100k!
Congratz on the 100k!
Best and funniest fm video I’ve watched in ages
I'm so ready to hop into this save now, barely watch Ben, but I'm wanting to see where this goes
Congratulations on 100k
Congrats on 100k subs
congratulations on 100 k zealand u deserve it!
we have the same name
This is the perfect content to start a day
Top quality fm content
the zoom in on the "he's a big lad" had me dead.
Last time I was this early, long throws were still OP.
The perfect duo, David Cabbage and York
This is how you win on fm 21: Gegenpress and sign a lot of youngsters. Dont search for players. In my opinion that makes it to easy. Just having the scout reports and maybe looking at players in your match is much more and challenging.
Zealand: it’s a *NUMBERS GAME...*
Benjy: *[CRIES IN PAIN!]
Benjy: asking too complex questions
Zealand: confuses af!
Congrats for having 100k subs
Loving the Everton Shirt Dude
That's the most deserved 100k ever
Big 2021 where a Doctor himself is asking for help on FM!
Benjy's TH-cam and Insta links in the description are broken.
I had no clue you could distribute to certain position rather than area. this changes everything.
Zealand should do this as a job charge by the hour like a fm therapist
Kelvin's currently spent 2 years in American teir 8... just saying, could be worth a look somewhere down the line if he's still there after a couple more seasons of Bourne in the USA
man, so many chance for "step bro" after MANY "stuck: said. love to see the follow up to these!
This is so good
doctor benjy has the best voice on TH-cam
Ben and Zealand r a dangerous combo
I did 7 seasons in FM19 with Guiseley AFC in Vanarama National, and 11 seasons in League 1, 5 seasons in Championship. Will check for free transfer lioke Zealand does
“I thought that was some kind of vegetable commercial” 😂😂😂
I had 7 seasons with Guiseley in FM19 in Vanarama National, it is very challenging league yep
Loves the Everton shirt
I need the follow up video!
zealand just HAD to wear the ev shirt with Benjy lmao, good banter
@DoctorBenjy FM what nations do you have loaded in your game? If you don't have them loaded already I would suggest adding some more home nations (Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Rep. of Ireland) to increase the supply of players eligible to play in Engalnd. Whilst your team may not be able to sign many of these players from the rest of the U.K. because of your reputation, higher teams that are able to sign them will hopefully substitute towards them. This should then reduce the competition for players that are within your grasp (on paper at least - I have no idea if this will actually work in FM).
I thought this was a skit and then realised it was serious. Poor Dr Benjy looked like a broken man. Plus it was funny how he seemed to forget the obvious way to get goals. Go direct and head it. Yet he claimed he 'tried everything'.
I am still playing fm20 doing a save where you cannot buy any players at all. DOF signs youth intake. I quickly copped on set pieces were kay. Trial and error got the similar set piece to Zealand. I go over load near post on one side for the one corner and far post the other. Dr Benjy should do an fm21 save with Chertanovo to see how he gets on. Plus test his mental strength.
Can confirm, the Vanorama National league is harder than hell itself to get out of in FM21.
Ben we aren’t going anywhere, even when it’s episode 400 and we are still in the VN.
It's so easy to get up the english leagues to the championship. The secret is getting a good affiliate straight away and loaning their youngsters (for FREE), and using them to get you up. The loan market is essential to getting you up to the championship. Once in the championship, the first season is all about consolidation and making money by selling a few fringe players that have value. Simple. And during all of that, scouting is ESSENTIAL also.
Am I the only one who thinks that Dr Benjy looks like he is going to fancy dress as Rambo 'first blood' with that red head band on?
Momentum is such a big part of the game !!! But I kinda miss getting stuck in leagues like Benji and fighting my way thru the hardship. This hasn't happened to me in ... 6 or so years, playing FM.
Speaking of "stuck", do you know what's stuck around ? #GiveReeceSomeRice
You are like the gordon Ramsey of football manager
Zealand is a toffee through and through
Nice!
Bens Breakdown of his team...and mind during his save 😄
Two loan players? One word... LOANS!
100 K 👍🏼
Look to Jadien White at Kidderminster ;)
100k 100k 100k you did it
Anyone know which episode of Thames Z's advice starts in?
Episode 76 or the one with Zealand's face on it lol
@@user-yv3ov6wu7h I see thanks, I should have looked at the thumbnails before hand haha
there is exactly one strategy that works in the vanarama national league and it is signing premier league academy rejects
What was the filter used to find youth players from higher clubs for loan? League = this league, contract = youth?
Would u say the championship is the hardest to get out of then?
That or national league
Does nobody play on attribute masking?
100k btw.
When you came watching some Anime and here "please save my save, Zealand Shannon" and you only hear Zealand-chan
League 1 is fucking brutal to get out off!!!!!
Anyone got a good set piece tactic after the patch?
same question
Regarding corners I suggest you placing your two best aerial players in near post. Specifically one lurking in near post and the other one attacking it
For corners aim crosses near post, put your two best areal players attacking the ball like in the video, with a strong player marking the goalkeeper and one or two players on the far side of the post to sweep up.
Nothing says mid life crisis, like a rambo headband...
So went to Ben last five eps. Ben he gets advise and then immediately changes things. Ben is just impatient- That is the biggest problem.
5 eps is 25 games, injuries and suspensions mean you have to adapt mate!
Everton... *shakes head*
I thought he pen was a spliff
Hi Ben, know you’ll be reading these comments 😂
