How I Made Huge Money in Belarus

  • Finances are the hidden killer in Football Manager. ‘How to make money’ is one of my most common questions, but the budget answer is always, typically for FM20, complicated. That being said - I got a $120 Million transfer budget in Belarus in six years in my save, so I’ve figured a few things out to help you on your way. Make money, buy players, sell players, make more money?
    I have actually put together a system (gasp) that can help you turn a small-budget team into a financial powerhouse. The complicated part is you have to be able to win at a decent clip, for which I would recommend my other videos, may they help you in your quest. To make money, that is. The quest to make all the FM20 money.
    Much love,
    FM Senpai

    It's dark arts but... If you have the international job while managing a club, you can sell very average youth team players for free with a massive international cap clause, then give them a two minute debut cap for their country . The buying club sees it as a bargain because the initial fee is zero and they're supposedly far from an international cap. I've made over ten million pounds from selling a single player who was vanarama level.

    A few extra ways:
    - create a wage ceiling. Do good scouting and stay under that limit until you hit the lottery (european football) and slowly increase it.
    - pay your players flat wage and try to remove as much bonuses as possible. As a key player that earns 1 million a year but has on top a 5k appearance fee will likely earn an additional 200k in bonuses from just that one alone.
    - sponsor money I think is tied to both your reputation and your corporate facilities which can increase if you build a new stadium.
    I've made a lot of money from just staying under the wage budget, it requires scouting and and sometimes accepting that certain players aren't realistic purchases but it's a great way for smaller clubs to make money and stabilise. A lot of the clubs in smaller leagues will overspend the first years, which makes it perhaps a bit hard to compete but after a while they'll all crash and get insecure finances due to mismanagement.
    In Iceland after four seasons all of my competitors had insecure finances and I had 50million in the bank going into the 4th or 5th season with Breidablik, while using a core of Icelandic players. With a self imposed Scandinavian players rule. Winning the league there only pays like 10k. Be strict on the budget!
    Extra tip: make deals for young players that they will earn the real money when they break into the first team or become an international player. This will save you a shitload of money, because if the player doesn't become a first team player you barely pay him anything and can sell him off before he makes it and if he does make it, he's likely worth the money!

    I've really enjoyed your content mate, this is great.
    A tip for small clubs as well is to look out for the appearance and goal bonuses. Sometimes it's better to increase the wage rather than the bonuses as it's much easier to keep track of a weekly wage. Especially if you have lots of cup games, a first team player who has a high appearance bonus could be bleeding you dry if he plays 50 times compared to just offering him a slightly higher wage.

    • @nunoandresilva93
      @nunoandresilva93 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm almost sure that appearance bonus don't apply for cup games and champions league games. Because, for example, clauses like bonus after x games played, bonus after goals scored, wage after x games etc are only activated with league games.

      Players are also usually more protective of their salary than their bonuses. Cutting an appearance fee down 5k, and cutting just 500 from the wage is far easier for the player than the other way round. If it is a player that is playing basically once every week, that is pure bank.

    With my Fenerbahce save, I did exactly that. Got Manuel Ugarte for 3M£, kept and played him for three seasons, sold him for 70 to Chelsea. Even this single sale made all the difference for the team. The only bad thing that happens more often than not is the players' request for a minimum release fee that you cannot remove. Other than that, it works great since with that money you can still get pretty good young players at like 10M and later sell them to huge amounts. Love your videos. Keep doing what you are doing mate.

    I had a save in Sweden back in FM14 where I took a team from the 4th tier to the top. Main strategy was loaning young players from bigger leagues that wasn't going to be good enough for those leagues and just keep loaning them until their contracts ran out and I could sing them on a free. Main two I did this with was Jon Toral and Kristoffer Olsson both from Arsenal. Toral was a mainstay and eventual captain while Kris Olsson was with for 18 months before I sold for 10 million pounds to Italy. Also signing from players from South America cheaply.

    I always do the same thing in all my saves, sign players on as free agents (the best available) and buy cheap regens, loan them out and then sell them.
    If you are managing outside of the big leagues, once you have a lot saved money, expend a lot of it in one huge signing but has to be in someone with great international reputation, maybe overspend if necessary, this will make the league and your team go to the next level where other great players will join the league and that will increase the value of all your players.

Devestated after all of the effort put into that save, it's made me paranoid that it might still happen in these games. What's the highest anyone has reached? I got Chelsea out of debt up to nearly £800 million which was very easy but still it's the most i've made with any of my saves since most don't have tons of high potential youth and world class players to offload.

    Extra tip for anyone reading the comments:
    Free transfers!
    As soon as the 1st of janaury arrives, just scout a bunch of players with their contract expiring in 6 months. Don't look at values to much, as they will decline as a player reaches the end of it's contract. When looking for value players, try to look for players between ages 21 and 25. Most of them tend to be decent. Maybe not first team players for you, but I mean free. If your not gonna play them, loan them out for a season. After a season, or 6 months, sell them! I have sold players for 15 to 40 (or more) million just by signing them and the end of there contract, loaning them out for a season and selling them again.
    In FM20 for example, Jude Bellingham is someone you should keep on your radar. Got him on a free with Monaco after 2 seasons, sold him after one season for 75 million to Man Utd...

    I did something similar in Denmark and now I'm in the 2026/2027 season and I've upgraded all my facilities to the max, and I still have over 100 M in the bank and what I did was set my scouts to find me players 19 and under with superb potential. Then I bought the one I could afford (I never spent more than 50K on these players) then train them for a couple not seasons and sell them to bigger clubs. When I stated 2 M was a lot of money so when no sold the young players I'd set the up front payment as low as I can but high enough to cover the expenses for the whole year then I added installments with 50% of clause so I get half of the money when they are sold again.
    For my first team players I only went for free transfers and avoided the the yearly increase clause and in some cases I'd give a 30% sell on fee (the player would get 30% of the money I get when I sell him) to lower the wage demand.

    In the older FMs (FM18 definitely) you could sell players massively over their value by instead of negotiating to sell them now, you could offer to loan them to the club and either in the next transfer window or at the end of the season have a mandatory fee to buy, and even for a player worth £5m who would sell for a maximum of like £14m normally you could get around £60-75m for them by doing that. You have to know a few techniques while doing it to get the maximum value (ie, the third offer they make is the last one they'll make before pulling out) but once you get the hang of it you can make ridiculous money to where your transfer dealings are bringing in over £1b per season, including loaning players out with a £300k/pm Playing & non-playing fee from the loaning club. Obviously you need to spend a lot of time scouting/buying/loaning/negotiating but once you do that you can quickly become the richest club in the world with a £1b+ transfer budget per season no matter which club you are.

    I recently reached 1MM on my Portugal's Vit. Guimarães save. I mainly sign great young players, at 15 or 16 years old, at a lower price by adding a cost per appearance clause that makes the club lower the price i pay for them. I then keep them until they're 18, then i use them on my B team at the second league to grow or loan them with a commision, which depends on how much that player is valued, but normally i get 2 to 3 million per season on commision per player, which multiplied by several players pays for the entire wages dispense of my club. I do that for 3 or 4 seasons until they reach a good evaluation and then sell them. This, of course, for the players that i don't want for my main team.

I count it as a discount thing aswell, If a player I had (and know is good) is transfer listed I buy him again and use the clause for a discount and sell him again when he recovers form.

    Dobe similar in my Dynamo Brest game.
    They already had decent finances (prob just behind BATE) I finished 2nd in first season just behind shock winners Shakhtyor.
    2nd season I made the Europa League group stage which earned me 2.5 million, enough to buy a team to win the league and upgrade facilities.
    In 3rd season won the league at a canter and qualified for group stage of champions league, lucky draws in qualifiers vs Shamrock TNS & Molde.
    Had a good sqaud at this point picking up young players from Russia (they don't count as forgieners in Belarus.
    Got around 15 million bank balance now midway into 3rd season, hopefully I can get 3rd in my group of champions league to make Europa League.
    Belarus my favourite league, my tip is to scout the hell out of Russia and buy Russian players, often high standard and not forgiener and will even be home grown eventaully if picked up young.

    I also try and get loan fees for my better loan players, or ones I feel are topping up near their potential, the ones I feel just need the playing experience I always try to ensure I get atleast their wages covered. Alot of my "buy to loan to develop and sell" players I tend to make about 1/3-1/1 of their transfer fee from one season worth of loans, Then you're playing with house money.

    I have a new situation I've not encountered in the past. I'm managing Lincoln City in EFL League One. I've just started the save so maybe with more board confidence the situation could change, but my transfer revenue retained is 75% until the club balance is at £15m at which point it will drop to 40% so it almost feels counter intuitive to help the board with the finances considering that if I do, they're planning to restrict my transfer spending more.

    Something I’ve always liked doing is signing free agents and selling them on almost immediately. Money talks and you can entice some players to join and then sell them a few weeks later for a significant profit. I was doing this in Brazil with South American free agents and had great success and would imagine you’d have even greater success doing it in Europe too

    If you are a very small club the best thing you can do to make money early is arrange lots of pre-season friendlies with as big a club as you can, try a friendly cup so you get lots of games (this also increases the clubs reputation as you just played in a cup with Newcastle, Derby and Watford with York). I would maybe arrange 3 cups, 1 per weekend, with a week break in-between, over 5 weeks. This would also work at a club like BATE, instead invite CL teams like City, Utd, Real, PSG, Barca etc.
    A word of warning your players could get tired and you could have injuries but you could also end as a non league club with 1-2 million in your bank at the start of the season. Now you have a bucket of cash go ask the board for a transfer budget increase! Who cares about that striker who got injured when you can afford someone far better to take his place!

    • @MlemDotaPersonal
      @MlemDotaPersonal 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      You don't even have to save and reset! Make an initial offer, then a little maths can tell you the exact minimum fee they want. Say you offer £5m and they ask for £19m. That means the AI wants the mid-point between your offer and their counter-offer, which in this case would be £12m. You can usually do just over 50% of this fee in the periodic unconditional installments.
      So the math for the money they want is: (their counteroffer - your initial offer) / 2 + your initial offer. (19-5)/2+5 = 12 as in the example above. Offer £6m up front and £6m in yearly installments and the player is yours. :)

    Haha, my transfer budget for Oxford City is 28k. But also, since I made them 700k from Cup and tourney wins and friendlies, I went about 50% over budget on salaries. I'd like to see your bank that changes 25 million into 100 million in 4 years. There is a thing called rule of 72, divide your interest rate into 72 and that's how long it takes your money to double, assuming it is compounding.

  • @seannyt-b

    I would always double down on saying just because you have a wage budget or transfer budget, it doesn't mean the club can afford for you to max out on both. I find this is especially the case if you have one good season at a small (lower league) club and they hike the wage budget without the bank balance having grown.

  • @Philodoof
    @Philodoof 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've been trying a similar strategy, just that I was getting in prospects that had no club, because I cannot afford transfer fees. However the thing is that I make a bunch of them blossom, make them increase their transfer value by a lot, but then I often get no offers in. I can only sell around 1-2 players a year. Recently I finally got promoted to Ligue 1 in France and I got no offers at all. I tried to sell my first team striker who ended up being the best goal scorer in Ligue 2 yet I got no offers at all. I even tried offering him below market value...this game is just bullshittishly unrealistic, in reality about half of Ligue 1 would be interested in a player that just had scored most goals in Ligue 2. So I cannot at all go for a strategy based upon selling as offers are required for that. So every season I have to let a lot of contracts run out and try to replace them with players who want less wage, so I can stay way below my wage budget. That's the main way I can generate the money I need to improve my facilities etc. Seems like you have a different FM since you apparently easily get in offers.

    what I did at dinamo zagreb was, besides winning the league, selling youth players or key players (ALL!) and keeping 50% of their future transfers. For example, I sold Khazior to Bournemouth for 7,5M€ and they sold him for 18M€. So basically, I sold him for 16,5M€ way above his market value at the time. I know it's not much but it's a help, I guess.

    Guys easy way to make some money one this FM is, get players expiring contract in 6 months (January) or wait until July so they are free players and lower wages... Cut their wages to half, offer them the maximum wage possible after reaching 5 matches in the league, add 50% pay rise if possible, once they sign offer them out and because the wages are so low normally there's teams to buy them... If not, try to loan with mandatory transfer fee... Either way yous gotta get rid of this guys cause of the clauses and pay rise! Try this and let me know how you got on.
