Do This FIRST On Every Save

- The hardest part about Football Manager is getting into it. There is nothing that exemplifies this more than your first day at a new club. There are so many things to do in FM that all need to begin on the first day. It has overwhelmed me multiple times and I just quit the game. So, here is a step-by-step guide to get you through FM’s opening saga and have a club that is ready to bag those wonderkids.
This is basically a tutorial to help you simplify your thinking and refine your focus on what actually needs to be done to start an FM save properly. I often spend a significant amount of time perusing the team and that is obviously ok to do, but the goal here is to set the wheels of success in motion. Remarkably, I just came up with that and it sounded amazing. WE ARE SETTING YOUR FOOTBALL MANAGER WHEELS OF SUCCESS IN MOTION. Alright, cool, FM, yay, video, see you soon.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

The first week of a save takes the same amount of time as 3 months of the regular season for me. So much to do. Love it.
Awh stop pal, its absolutely painful and beautiful at the same time. I never thought spreadsheets would give me so much joy
what?
@@smoosev89 are you simple
@@youareatube what?
@@youareatube you dont understand the reference
My rule of Thumb;
1.First save with the team i support just for a few season learn the new game ect.
2. spend half the run of the game trying to decide on a long-term save.
Works every time
Then finally decide on a long term save then get sacked in the second season🤣🤣
@@blgarndogg9673 You're not wrong 🤣😂
@@kurtmcfc1629 happens to me everytime🤣🤣 sign a bunch of youth like a donut under achieve then end up at Watford in a relegation battle hahah
@@blgarndogg9673 Big True
I support Derby County...
For the first time Zealand is wrong, first thing to do is to download face packs, club badges, and name & licensing fixes
goldylocks, you dowoad all that stuff after youve started your first save? no so you are wrong and look like an idiot because you tried to be clever and are not clever
NewGan is the first thing to download
The one thing I'd add is that after you've assigned whoever to take care of friendlies and arranged the games themselves, go to the Squad page, select Quick Pick -> Edit Pick Guidelines and set "Condition is at least Good" and "Match Sharpness is AT MOST Match Fit", then Set Guidellines Without Picking, and you should have your entire squad ready for the start of the season. I also find arranging reserve friendlies on Sundays (if mainly playing Saturdays) helps and manually making available those in need of a boost for the next U23 game only.
I play Gillingham. They have a transfer Embargo until January. It's real fun working with a squad of 15 (one of the best comes pre injured) with 4 or 5 players weighing you down like a big ol' anchor. Still mid table by Jan within 6 points of the playoffs. Keep up the good work fella's
I've started with Derby, also under transfer embargo, every transfer offer gets accepted to so my squad has 13 senior players
@@AskingAlexandria43 Oh God, mate...well best of luck with that! It's certainly up'd the challenge factor this year!
@@AskingAlexandria43 When I first started playing, I saw that everyone recommended that you start with the club you support. Unfortunately I support Derby
Type of video I didn't know I needed, but I needed it badly. Thanks Z, much love
Hey Z, here s a tip I m pretty sure you know, but I ve noticed you tend to forget about. When you manage a big euro club like let s say Lille for example, day 1 BEFORE u go staff searching, don't forget to go to the player search page and change the recruitment package to something that suits that team, like world tier. This includes the non playing people, so u re basically missing out on like 20-30% staff I think, given your average 220k database choice.
For more realism, don't add a recruitment package and just rely on your scouts? (Or am I missing something?)
@@TimeAndTactics the recruitment package determines what region(s) you can scout in
@@wowthisshitispoopy I thought that was determined by the board on the Scouting -> Assignments page?
@@wowthisshitispoopy incorrect
@@TimeAndTactics that's the maximum you *can* scout if you have the money. F.e. if the board lets you scout, say, South America, but you don't pick "World" in recruitment page, people from South America won't turn up on the player search tab, although it's possible for your scouts to find new people if you specifically tell them to go south America
I nearly got sacked at Stoke City because to get the job I promised promotion and couldn’t make up the 25 point gap to 2nd even though we won 16 out of 20 games. I was on an E before the play-off final and an A after winning it
With over 8000h in FM since FM10 I'm only here to watch high quality videos = Zealand! Keep it up!
Always with the best intros :)
I took over Cruzeiro attempting to resurrect the once mightiest club in Brazil from the second division...A week into the save I'm hit with the news that repayments of the 125 mill state loan have began. FML
That's why they're in the second division 😹
Mightiest? What?
@@MateusAlves-qe5jp For a club outside of the two big cities in Brazil, they have had great success. Only four teams in Brazil have won more Copa Libertadores' than them and only five teams have won more domestic titles. They have won the Copa Do Brasil more times than any other team.So yes, they are a pretty mighty club in Brazil.
New sub. Videos are class. Superbly edited. Superbly presented.
Something Zealand forgot: make sure your coaches training assignments is done in a way that makes sense. Optimize these training assignments ASAP, that's one of the first things I do.
Loved your scouting video on FM 21 about best places to scout when you rated and put them into table. You should do one about FM 22 as there are changed regions... 😀
I've just started my first serious save at Swansea uni in the cymru south Division. So far I'm 15 games in with 2 losses (1 in the cup 1 in the league)
Love the effort to get people to like and subscribe, we gotta make sure you get a closet full of fun shirts
This guy is awesome he is such a good rep for the community
I just watched your tie for 19 minutes
Don't mind me just ignoring the finances and basically forcing myself into an embargo because I didn't realize how much I spent on aging players. Adding salt onto the board wanted me to sign players under 23. How I kept my job I do not know
4d Chess bankrupting them so they can't afford to sack you
Hi Zealand. Love the videos. I have a question. I am a Gillingham supporter, yes really. I was wondering what the budget change will be since the take over in January
Your editor is world class
Projection also does not factor in competition performance, STILL. They should really ad options where you can put in your finishes in certain competitions and that then adjusts the projected profit and loss.
Might i recommend adding to the tags/description what to do before hitting continue because i have been trying to find a video like this for years
I've been playing FM for 10 years. I never knew you could have more than one Shortlist!!!
doing a Bolton save. Just outside playoffs in January. have defensive tactic that seems to work
Been playing FM for 15 years but still watch it to learn something new
Only just realised Zealand is finally doing a save in Austria
Great content with that tie! I wonder what will be instead of that tie in the next video ))
Those glasses are haunting me in my dreams
Looked this up for my first FM23 save
You are a genius
Cool new subscribe and follow animations from Tom. I love it
Haha my main man Rosco's always there to give me the love, thanks! It took a bunch of revisions and I'm happy to finally see it live!
I have a 12 point list for the first day. I can spend days on it hehe.
0. Staff responsibilities.
1. Sorting team. Find coaching staff member with highest judging ability, then squad screen and all positions. Determine formation and first 22/24 and holes, talents, and who to sell and sort to A team, u23/B, u19 respectively.
2. Tactics. Individual instructions, position then player. Adjust set pieces once transfers done. Captaincy.
3. Arrange better Friendlies.
4. Training schedule, groups, none- half-half-normal-double, mentoring (once transfers done). Individual Training (preferred moves once staff in).
5. Board requests.
6. Set monthly reminder. Board Requests, Transfer Listed, End Contract, Director of Football, Buy/Sell Clauses, Shortlist update, Team Training, Individual Training, Happiness and Mentoring.
7. Staff shortlist and then sign new staff.
8. Sell, Loans, Buy, Extend contracts.
9. Scout assignments. Recruitment package, scouting filters.
10. Staff responsibilities updated because of new staff.
11. Intensive language courses, coaching courses. Adjust Playing time.
Nice list! I tend to skip step 5, they always shut me down and tell me that I'm still new.
@@bloodshed_ Thanks man. Concerning 5 It depends on which you ask. Increasing staffing if any is at max, increasing percentage of transfer budget retained and affiliates they will do sometimes even when new.
And already couple of months in youth recruitment and junior coaching becomes possible often.
hey this is really great, especially for someone like my still learning a lot every time I open the game. How do you set reminders about the things you mentioned?
@@samjones5160 The reminder I make a note on my manager character. Insert those things in the text and then repeat monthly on the first of every month. For the rest have this list open the first couple of playing days. Even if most will be done on the first day. Also thanks ;)
This is a good list, kudos
9:44 this is where the the best poetry person started
I started with Freiburg because I know the team players very well myself. So I can make a tactic without even needing advice. It's just how I learn the game. Because fm mostly has it like real life. Also first transferwindow is off. I didn't loose a single match yet like Freiburg IRL until the Munich game that I have yet to play. And I kept Dortmund at 1-1 won against Wolfsburg 1-2 and now in the second round off the cup its against Gladbach allready damnit. But yeah it's just a learning save.
Zealand you and your editors are getting funnier and funnier... goddamn
Mr. Shannon, can you do a quick video on how you set up your database?
First thing I do is get rid of EVERY backroom staff and bring in the best that will come to my club ( if playing a top club ) a good few hours just looking
My go to and actually the first damn thing I do every faking saveeeeee
First thing I do at a club. Don't release everyone I just release people as I need space for someone better. Always spend the first few hours just trying to find the best staff possible
I've liked the video so i can see another fun shirt!
watching you high is legit my favourite shit i love you
Hey Zealand, could you do a video on what to do at the end of a season? Best times to see released players from leagues above etc.
So in short go to player search then top right set option go “expiring contract in 6months” in january 1, as a low league team you might snatch good bench warmers/players from higher leagues from here
This mad lad got 221k views without even putting the game in the title. Instant subscribe.
That is a great knot on the tie.. ******
Going with watford this year in fm22.
Step 1: Change staff responsibilities so your DoF doesn't buy or sell or recontract a player in the first week.
Tfw your DoF rejects a 30 mil offer for a youngster you don’t even intend to play
Z you need a fun iron for your fun shirt! BTW since you now gone from the S.U. does it make you an Ex- Cuse?
You know, as much as I want to be annoyed by the long intros and little asides which make it harder for me to follow these guides (I've got severe ADHD and long covid), Zealand is such a likeable chap. His videos are so affable and pleasant to watch.
Ya of ya bangers you ze lad
When I restarted my Newcastle/NZ save today (starting the game in June, so this off-season), it already won Carabao Cup without me. This far exceeded expectations as it also got 8th. I thought I can set even loftier goals, but I can't.
started a save with ik start and got a promising winger in the academy who scored a hat trick in his first game
Elias nahiry?
Hahahaha bro I’m literally the guy at the beginning right now. Played fifa career mode for 10 years and starting FM thanks for all the content!
On a scale of 1/10 how much would you recommend buying it? I havent played since 2004
Zealand you should consider making a football history podcast.
Honestly you need to make a video titled wiring the world or at least make a play list with your scouting vids under wiring the world. Also seo optimise that cuz honestly your phrase is gold
When you had your glasses on you sounded like Jason Segel
My TD is handling staff acquisitions. I now have two assistant managers and it wants to recruit a third... Why???
0:48 For a second there I thought Zealand whooped out the death note 😅
Please recreate the same video next year with a 2021 calander in the background or easier yet, written on the white board
Now it's time to finally start a save
First things I need to do because FM hasn't properly saved settings since FM15 is go into
Preferences - screen flow - untick "go to news screen".
Then go to match settings and dial in my favorite view.
I mean seriously, why let me set these preferences from the main menu but then completely forget them the moment I press "start game"?
could we get a review on the game maybe?
does the “clubs release youth players” screen still exist? currently playing with blyth spartans and didn’t see the email at the end of the season
Hey Z, I've started in Austria second division too, but with a different team. My aim is to do better than you 🤣
so have I lol any chance you have a link to a decent kit pack?
As a guy who wears glasses and a guy who has no idea how to play FM, I felt attacked by that opening sting 🤣
Guys. Help needed! I hired a new Head Performance Analyst and he is the best in judging player ability, but if I try to get him to give me player reports then his name is not on the drop menu list. How can I make it happen?
You can't use your performance analyst as a scout unless when you give him a contract you give him a secondary job as that of a scout.
Was that Ben heading into the squad section?
Hey Zealand,
I'm on FM21, can you tell me if your skin can work on that?
This game took over my life …. Help 😂😂
6:23 However, you pretty much MUST as an international manager, especially any build-up matches before World Cups or Continental competitions.
When is the Zealand American database coming to fm22?
me whenever I start a new save: I NEED 25 NEW STAFFMEMBERS
I'm playing my customary Feyenoord save again and my god they're awful this time out. They sold Berghuis to Ajax for almost nothing. All their strikers are gone. At least they still have Senesi and Toornstra.
Also no money at all. They've never been rich, but damn. They're only in the Conference League in Europe so they don't get big paydays. I have literally no money. I can't even sign free transfers because there's always a tiny charge at the end (like 10-15k) and I can't even pay that.
Literally my only hope is selling Senesi and Bijow for good money and hoping my academy delivers. And trying to sneak into the Champions League, of course. No hope of winning the league though, because Ajax just don't lose.
You don't need to rely on your academy, you need to focus on scouting for players with good potential who are free from contract, that way costs less money as you don't have to pay for a transfer fee. You should also consider loaning good talents from bigger teams.
loans and expired contracts
Yeah if you need scouts or coaches better to look on first day or else you miss free agents and then are wasting money. Just think the compensation could go on wages instead or a loan.
Would you change any of this advice for FM23?
This year's game is pretty buggy. From my team captain being upset that he isn't the captain anymore, even though I never took his armband away, to the player's form box freezing on the screen after hovering over it and not being able to get rid of it unless I exit the save.
I don't know how FM21 was, I haven't played it, but 22 doesn't seem to be well polished
FM21 had some issues on release aswell. Not as many, though. But they usually fix these things rather quickly
@@ricardoraposo3630 i see. Well, I just hope they will be solving those from 22 as well
If you want to do big money friendlies every other day, but you don't want your players injured, trialists can come in really handy.
Sticks and stones may break my players' bones, but if I'm never gonna sign them, it won't hurt me.
Is FM stable enough to start a long term save?
1:35
That was my first question... No shit
You should ALWAYS manage friendly matches, your not an idiot and WANT to do that ;). You get much better match sharpness, morale and tactical familiarity that way. Also the ability and potential in the squad screen does not adjust to who you say gives squad reports it's always the AM. So you want to use the squad overview screen.
Based on what do you say that you get more sharpness morale and tac familiarity?
@@miraclemaker1418 Because the AI is not that great in prioritizing which players play and in what roles and positions and using your planned main tactic. When you have control you can make sure the players you want get game time and in the roles and positions you want. Increasing familiarity, sharpness and quicker links between players.
Wait, so you DONT play your friendly matches?..
this video are basically a tutorial of the things you should know in football manager 😂😂
This guy reminds me so much of Peter draws
Whenever I try to play fm22 and enter a new save I just instantly get overwhelmed by everything, any tips ppl I'd really like to play this game.
Just play and make mistakes that’s the only way how to learn the game properly. Don’t be afraid of failure and in doubt consult the assisting manager
3 months too late, but just start off by handing over every single responsibility to your assistant manager. Then, pick ONE thing (substitutions, scout, negotiations, tactics, team talks, press conferences - whatever, just one thing) and focus on handling only that thing. Once you start getting used to it, go to the responsibilities screen again and take control of ONE additional area. Get comfortable with that one, and then add another one etc. Eventually you'll have a good grasp of every area you're interested in.
@@ArianJafariTheMagnificent thank you I’ll try that (I’m still no good Lmfao)
You have a head like Harry Maguire
11:51 I think you can make really good asmr video.
If you’re coming from FIFA:
“Congratulations, you’ve entered the world of unrecycled new games!”
I watch your video then go play fifa manager 2021
Still don’t understand Z hating on playing friendlies
As somebody who still plays FM08 religiously, this has actually been kinda eye-opening. I often really want to play the newer Football Managers but I just can't bring myself to do so. After watching this video, I have come to the conclusion that... I'm going to stick with FM08. I'm not ready for change!
Didn't realise I was a psychopath
Cant imagine not controlling the friendlies. Tried it ones and just got weird out about it. Maybe i am a psychopath
Who else went on Google to check whether it was true that the Czechs used a flying rectangle tactic in the 1940s?
Ahh...But what about first day on Xbox one?...(which..like FM21 i am still finding too streamlined to feel emmersive :( ....Surely the consoles can handle full mode :( )
is it possible in this game to get a sum of money and go ahead setup a whole NEW team from scratch ?
No, but you can make your own fictional club
Damn second we’ll done
I love Zealand.
"Assign friendlies to your staff because who organizes friendlies... you psychopath"
*Later on in the video*
"Organize your preseason friendlies"
I don't recall what he said exactly but as a regular on his streams, he definitely meant only psychopaths manage the friendly matches! He always leaves those to the Ass Man.
So, it means he doesn't play the friendly as a manager, just simulates it basically, but he arranges what opponents to play against and when.
Arrange them yourself and have the other dude manage them, is what I meant to say
How many leagues do people load at he start??
Ideally you want as many as your computer can reasonably handle in order to have enough players to choose from and increase the likelihood of getting good players depending on the level of the team you choose.
Why do you say "ether" instead of "other"?
What... You don't manage friendlies.... Psyco... (I do, but I play it at the fastest possible speed, so I can get all the players I want to the best fitness before the first game. The rest, during the second half of preseason, then play U23s)
Is wearing a tie while playing fm a kink of yours ?
🥵🥵
Hey Zealand, you're a great guy, and I love your stuff, but......er.... please could you sit back from the screen just a little bit? Please? :-)
