- Time to roll back the clock and hit you with some classic Zealand football manager content. That’s right, tips and tricks that help you win at FM, with the only strings attached the B+ jokes. I take my time to put these lists together, as I play I keep lists of things I haven’t talked about before. This covers tactics, team dynamics, morale, set pieces, even some scouting. A full FM gamut of things you’ve overlooked that could help you win titles when you play football manager.
The crazy thing is, I feel like I haven’t done this in a while. I hope you enjoy it. This is the equivalent of me being, like, John Mayer, then coming back on stage for the encore and playing Gravity. Football manager revolution that started with me making lists of cool tactic tips then presenting them to you with a massive forehead. Anyways - this video is a certified ‘banger’ according to Reece so enjoy!
Sincerely,
FM Senpai - The Zealand - OldZealand - A Guy

Okay so, you'll love this. When you said "put your forehead through a screen", it cut to an ad where someone headbutted the dash in a car
All I got was a Dominos ad
I had someone changing a nappy/diaper, kinda like Zea's forehead
I had no advert bc i have yt premium
I had no ads because i skip the entire video and rewind it
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Zealand writes out a description for every one of his videos? His descriptions are better than the essays I put in for my finals man
A lot of descriptions in people’s videos don’t describe the video at all

Little things I’ve missed that win titles:
Good players and money
Greece
Nah man. You can win the league once with shit players. To become a powerhouse though, you'll need them. But you get them with the money you get from winning once.
Not necessary (100% of the time)
You just need to win matches without losing too much points
This is a cool video. There’s a guy over on twitch playing with a Portuguese team and he can’t win the liga nos and I think he should watch this video :)
Hey! Another great tip for smaller teams looking to sign end of contract released players: towards the end of the season (start of March), request your scouting team to give you reports on the big teams reserve/U23/U19 teams. That way you have a lot of early scouting information on the players in that team that you can then use to make better offers for trials, or to trim down your scouting queue. It has done wonders for my scouting!
Another trick, when you play a bunch of friendlies in the pre-season, you can often risk injuries if your players aren't fully fit before each match, especially if there's a position where you don't have that much depth. The trick is to get a bunch of trialists in. They can play in as many friendlies as you want (and if they end up injured... who cares?)
This mixes well with the trick of playing big teams in the pre-season for extra bank, just squeeze a few extra games in there and throw trialists at any congestion problems.
I do that too and you get a free scouting report too!
I still find using pre season to get the team playing well far more important. I rarely have depth problems, and would rather use youth team players that have some value, than some guy I'm unlikely to sign. I mean, what are your scouts doing all year?
@@lastpenny849 Depends what league you are in? I mean if you have a lot of scouts then yeah but in the lower divisions you might not have many players and may, indeed, need to sign a few on a free.
@@Elvishly Exactly lol. Playing as a semi pro team in England won't give you anywhere near enough depth
The seperate shortlists are going to be a life saver!! I have genuinely been wondering why there isn't something like that in the game already.... looks like I just needed a Zealand vid to find it
I came here after dropping to second on the last game of the season. I came to TH-cam to forget my problems
Half the time on my analyst reports they give me contradictory advice, like 'work ball into box' and 'shoot on sight' both being recommended
Actually that’s when you have to realise that you are doing something terribly wrong
Analyst reports are like assistant feedback during matches - if you apply their suggestions, your team will actually play worse. I always ignore them.
Well maybe read between the lines and figure out why. Are you winning any headers in their box? If not working the ball in is a good idea, or hitting flat crosses. If you have space outside the box, you might have to change a player instruction to more long range shots, instead of the whole team... Shoot on sight can work well with short passes into the box, or flat crosses but I would rather not use it.
A great smart tactic only lasts 6 to 7 months (unless its an engine killer) before every other team starts spanking you
I tend to adjust the tactic depending on who is playing. Sometimes using the 2nd tactic or taking advantage of an opponents weakness (even if it means playing a backup) can often get you that one goal that you need. Adjusting set pieces and player instructions as the season progresses is also vital. Sure, you just push continue for a year, you are going to start losing..
I always forget to sort out my set pieces then wonder why I rarely score any goals from them
Always glad for any tips,you are never too old old to learn new stuff.Big fan of choosing tough preseason fixtures with big clubs my self.Will take to heart what i didn't know.Cheers Z
Another tip is to add Teamwork training to your training (weekly). It helps your team morale, and build bonds between players.
The Senpai’s best advice “ use basic logic “
Helped me stop the mid season slump from being longer than 4 games with some of this stuff
Great content Zealand. I smiled when you mentioned about praising those who perform well in training. I do that already, and also at the start of every month during the season, I go through the all the players at the club to look at how their progress is going and depending on their training rating praise them, encourage them or tell them off. Call it a monthly 1-2-1. There are a few cases where I think the player could be progressing better, but they think different and we both agree to disagree. For those players who don't heed my warnings and promise to do better but don't tend to find themselves on the wrong end of the transfer list. I have found that every player gets a bit of a boost and are always happy no matter my feedback.
I check my scouting priorities quite often, I am also prone to having several hundred reports in the queue at a time. But I remove the bad ratings (below 65/70) by sorting it by rating and using shift click to mark several players and aborting scouting assignments to get the better scouting reports faster.
Idk if you'll actually get to see this anymore or not, since this video is one year old now, but
I wanted to say,
Thank you for your content
Thank you for all the videos you put out
Watching you talk about FM and do silly cute acts in the build up brings an uncanny smile of purity that is rare to experience
I enjoy your content a lot and i love to binge your videos because they're really that fun
Hopefully i get to meet you one day, maybe even the network game gang too
Thanks a lot!
The one thing I find players and streamers getting wrong is adjusting individual player instructions. You all seem to believe that the team formation and strategy is enough, but I find that each player being different, you have to sometimes build a role for them. By adjusting the attacking and forward runs, including a few traits and tweaking through the development phase, you can mould players into doing more on the pitch than just being a winger, for example. Most overlooked..
I agree! It's not something that is just in the game, though. Generally managers/coaches can be divided into two categories: the ones who make the players fit a tactic, and the ones who make the tactic fit the players. The approach you described, and which I follow too, fits the latter.
@@janbo8331 Even setting personalised roles for a few players makes a difference. Strikers are a good example. Your backup forward who's an aerial specialist will fare better if they're playing as a target man.
I use the friendlies not entirely for fitness but for that cash money. In one summer in the sixth tier of Italy, I went from 80k in debt to 100k in the black.
When you were looking for an FM tutorial and the Senpai produces
That's basically all this channel is lol
Yes he’s great 👍
Wonder what fm22 will be like this year as this version takes a lot of beating
Loving your 20 good minutes podcast
First point is so spot on. I conceded 6 indirect free kicks and 4 corners because when I did rotations I forgot to move people around so my cannot jump guys wouldn’t try to head balls away (and the opponents scored).
2 seasons in a row my Sampdoria have lost title race that went to the last day.
Hopefully I'll be able to do it now
This is a soothing video to the open wound that is my Nottingham Forest save. Things are looking dark in my first year in The Premier League.
Holy shit, you've got a history podcast?! Brb downloading the first episode right now
'Oh my flipping heck' I can't say i ever react to anything with that level of etiquette
I took my Manchester United side to the Champions League final. We played Barcelona. They went one up after a few minutes. It stayed 1-0 until full time. 5 minutes added on. on the 96th minute, Sancho scores! 1-1. In extra time Martial scores and we hold out to win 2-1.
Sorry, its quite irellevant but I feel like I need to tell someone. What a game.
Please, please, please take a episode for training.
Please stop giving away my secrets I've amassed over the years since fm 12. Fantastic content!
the match load and rotation is also very important for those mid season bad results
About friendlies- if you are a poor team with a big stadium, cancel all your friendlies that were scheduled by AI and schedule your own - you can jam 10 friendlies into the pre-season and some more during the season if you have international long breaks. Free money in the bank!!! You could make a few million dollars per season by doing this.
And playing friendlies during the season helps you restore your team morale and form as well (if you had a losing streak).
the sad face being just a red smiley face is **chef's kiss**
Played the game since it was called Championship Manager. The things I find fun now is either; starting at the roots somewhere and work myself up, or go to a smaller country like Czech Republic, Denmark maybe Belgium, etc. and sit at one club and cultivate the whole league. I prioritize whatever nation’s own players and develop them, and if I can’t use them I sell them to someone is the same league, furthermore, I can’t have more than 3 South Americans. So satisfying when the reputation goes up, sponsorship becomes better, it’s satisfying af.
You've got it spot on mate. Takes an absolute age but is so worth the challenge. I feel a sense of pride seeing teams in my league doing the business in Europe.
3 Just blew my mind
I enjoy the vids. Sometimes I don't agree but most of the points are good and I love how flippant they are. However I think I am also watching to see how long it will take for his chest hair to reach his chin !
The editing in this video is amazing!
I also take offense to the claim I might be bad at team cohesion, I have max team cohesion, atmosphere and support. All within a single social group.
That could also mean that you have no big improvements in the squad from the outside..as in transfers. They always have to work their way into a social group.. If you have regular turnover you usually end up with 2 main groups and 1 small group.. that is still perfectly acceptable.
I'm a simple Napoli supporter...i see my unforgettable captain Marek Hamsik and i smash the like button
Your hair is so neat in this video. You look like you just got back from court. What did you do, Z? WHAT DID YOU DO????
Hey Zealand do you have a video that explains complimenting roles for players?
Superb video! I praise everyone in green on training at the beginning of the month (just sort by training rating. Midmonth I review training progress and warn everyone that isn't improving. Between those two and consistently adding Team Cohesion-- Community Outreach to my schedules. All of those help in keeping morale up.
Bring in a few cheap and decent enough players with model p and resolute for the B teams and have them tutor and tutor until your youngsters are all model p and resolute and become unstoppable. Spend money on defenders. And BWM types. There are far too many attacking players available even on free transfers, but no team lets their great defenders go for nowt. Look at 6 months players and how many right footed players who want to play on inside forward and AM. I know signing young players is the cool thing but when my goal machine is injured at Xmas, I sign someone who is happy to come in as backup and has a proven scoring record. I need those goals to win titles. Any resolute and professional types play really well up to mid thirtys. Only how to make not retire.
Instructions unclear just going to buy lukakku and haaland.
Came for the FM tips left with Armchair History...things Zealand does to you
I love our outro dkw
that one dislike was from Thiago nuss for not mentioning him since months
On the first one. You forgot to mention to adjust it after in match substitutions ;). Yes some people are nuts enough for that.
Ay so doing more of those history podcasts?
Yea, it’s scripted I just need to record it
It’s on the Picts, that’s the sneak peek because it’s been so long
This seems like a decent place to ask it again: You should make a video about captains. The only info game tells you is that give it to someone who has high leadership and teamwork. But is there something else? Should I also prefer already team leaders or give it to someone I want to get respect of their peers?
That would be a great video, I was literally just wondering about this
I would suggest picking a captain with 3 main qualities. 1. He is a starter. In fact he is a must.
2. He is a player you have contracted for more than 1 season. You don't want to be changing the captain too often. 3. Has strong mentals, teamwork, leadership, workrate, bravery.. it depends on his position aswell. Overall look for a player who is also high on the leadership board, meaning new signings are not always the best choice. You can make them vice captain, if the experienced long term club guy stops playing, the new signing will be the captain on the pitch anyway. So like a club captain (Giggs/Carrick), who didn't play every match..
@@lastpenny849 My current captain plays a maximum of 1/3 of the games, and that's if he's not injured (age 38 now, playing as WTM). I haven't seen any problems associated with him not being a starter. There's plenty of strong characters and leaders on the field even if he's not playing. The great thing about him being the captain is that his status remains a team leader, and with a Perfectionist personality and determination, team work, bravery and work rate all at 20, he's a sublime mentor.
@@janbo8331 Like I said, he does not have to start every game, especially if he's a "club" captain type. But if you have a playing Captain, then yes, it's better.
@@lastpenny849 You mean better in terms of how it effects the team on the field? Is there a difference if it's a vice captain instead, assuming both players are as good in terms of leadership qualities?
Zealand! You are cool!
no, i’m not up at 4am est playing fm
No, I'm not up 5:30 am est playing fm
If you have 100s of players in the shortlist, is it still a shortlist?
MARK NOBLE IS TALENTED, YOU TAKE THAT BACK!

Guys I really need help... I managed to promote my Bolton from League Two to Premier League, but after all the seasons my board keeps declining when I ask for U23 team and I don't even have option to negotiate with them. What to do now?
Praise training is the best way to boost up morale and let you players play beyond their abilities (on steroids). Especially before a big match - make sure you hug and pat every single player on your team so they will go to war for you.
Set Pieces are hugely important. The first title I won with my save I didn't sort out my set pieces and the race was really tight. Last two seasons I've beefed up my set pieces and it's winning me games on its own. Konate who I bought for 40M has 10 league goals and 5 assists mostly from set pieces. His partner a regen has 4 goals and 2 assists. Memphis Depay is on the verge of breaking the assist record itl by the 29th game week.
Did you use any set piece tactic?
@@langletprolet8378 yes quite a few
Can you send us a link broooo?
Tip 11, sign a top goalkeeper whatever the price. The amount of time I have spend searching for a good goalkeeper is unbelievable. Probably the hardest position to find real quality
Nah fullback
I would agree with the fact that they're difficult to find but they aren't the most important position. I just sign them on end of contracts while waiting for one of the 17 goalkeepers I signed from Ajax to get good.
I don’t know if it the most important position, however it’s definitely the hardest one to find quality. I think this has to do with the fact that most of us are unaware of what makes a great goalkeeper in real life in contrast to outfield players.
For me, what makes a goalkeeper different to other positions, is you have to factor all key attributes working together. You can get away with a striker with let's say poor anticipation if he got great off the ball and good compurse. Their are a lot of good goalies but with poor aligity, or handling or one on one's
*has flashbacks to Zealand in the Streamer Showdown with Alisson in net* KEKW
With the training, I recommend actually going through you're whole squad and praising/criticizing everyone. You select any player in your squad and go on Development->Training and you can see the current training rating, as well as the button to praise/criticize there too (unless they've only recently joined the club, are injured, or out on loan).
My cutoff for giving praise is usually a 7.5 rating, because people under that sometimes aren't happy with the praise. And only criticize the people that come up as recommended to criticize in the training overview message, I think this is generally people with a rating of 6.0 or lower.
But doing this every time you get a training report is basically a free way to bump well over half your squad's morale by around a level. This along with praising conduct every once in a while keeps your morale high and seems to protect you against the vicious cycle that can start when you lose or tie a couple games, your morale takes a dip and then you have a bad few months of form due to morale not being high.
I do this via the training menu (left) and than "individual" (above). You than get a list of all players with their training ratings sorted by that number. On the upper right side is a "praise" or "critizise" button. Workss faster for me than clicking thru every player and starting a conversation. But i must admit that I dont know if this only works for players I had set up an individual training for. But as I do set this to all players, it is fone for me. EDIT. This is also a good way to get an overview over the individual trainings progression or your scheduled repositioning of some players.
@@paulwagner3409 That does actually look like a bit of a faster way of doing it, you can sort by rating too which is nice. Thanks!
@@paulwagner3409 Damn, that was useful! Thanks dude!
For peoples info and i hope @zealand see's this.
a average scout can do 5 one week reports a week. so if you have 5 scouts i would suggest no more than 25 players are scouted for 1 week reports at a time. also they cant do their region assignments at the same time.
to counter this struggle that Z mentioned in the video of it getting backlogged use analysts instead then using those reports to decide who gets scouted further
in my testing so far one analyst can do between 20 to 40 reports a week
Buy 200 wonderkids. That’s my method of success.
anyone ever told you you look like Marshall from HIMY? Probably yes, but I dont want to risk it.
CAN WE GET A VIDEO FOR IN GAME MANAGEMENT (keeping a lead, trying to get a result from a losing position, etc...)
The reason I ask is if I change my team mentality from positive or balanced to cautious or one of the more defensive option sometimes my team seems to crash and make silly mistakes whereas if I keep it balanced they don't tend to make the same silly mistakes but I'm left feeling vulnerable even if I put my wingbacks to defensive and center backs to no nonsense
Press anyone on 80%, go in hard on anyone on 75%. Get anyone who assists or scores goals on weaker foot. Go in hard and press anyone who has poor moral. You'll be fine.
@@adrianpilcher703 i do most, if not all of that mate. It's more my own team or individuals.
7:22 well.. I've 2100 players in my scouting queue.. kekw
If you want to reduce your scouting clutter scout players for 1 week only as it just uncovers the players attributes
And don’t let your DoF initiate transfers. Half the time it is garbage (I have 17 19 17 DoF - Luis Campos, former DoF at Lille, Chief Scout at Monaco and Scout at Real) signings.
Just had a little drama with my Master Shifu striker Nestorovski (his mentals and hidden attributes are insane, best cheap mentor for your young strikers) because my DoF went out and made an offer on a striker I don’t need. Nesto is upset because he feels he is being replaced (even though he is only on my team to be a Mentor and will not ever play).
Sometimes the Owners do that too.
WWWWALLLLLLESSSSSS
Your forehead going through the screen gave me an ad
How about a simulation regarding training schedules
Players is the same, coach is the same, only training schedule is different
Let BTN, WTS, Zealand , jolujo etc submit their best schedule for pre season, 1 week match , 2 week match and no match week
Tied the players for around 5-8 years to the club and compare which schedule provide the best results in terms of development, result on the pitch

Are you Seth McFarland?!
jokes on Zealand i only use two tactic so i'm sitting a cool 50/50 chance of training the right tactic.. And as we all know everything is 50/50 anyways
Im always surprised everyone talks about how important dynamics is. I always forget about them because my team atmosphere is always practically maxed. How does it drop?
If your losing a lot of games or if one of the team leaders is unhappy with playing time, fears being replaced or transfer listed/feels forced out of the club. An unhappy influenced player who loses the captain will become a serious lead weight
@@pbh81 I've seen it when I go on a bad run but it seems to turn around pretty fast after a couple of wins. I guess I just look after team leaders because that's never really been an issue though I had been able to poach senior players from other clubs that fall out with the club
@@logancosta3110 one to watch for and for me is far more common is '' feels like he deserves a new contract''. So you give the player a new contact, beginning at the end of the season, player agrees and signs but player remains unhappy in the dynamic report with the "feel like he deserves a new contract" . Playing FM20 but don't think it's a bug. I always give the team a team bonding sessions at the start of of every week if the schedule is not congested

I normally just give the contract immediately if I can afford it or challenge them to prove themselves if I can't. I'd say over half the time they just drop it because I spoke to them

Hi Zealand, as a fellow American I like that I am not the only one who loves this game.
I have a few tips for you:
1. Training - Max it out, 3 sessions a day, every day, and only use General and Physical training. I use 3 types of training based on the 0/1/2 game weeks. Would love to send you some examples for you to play with if you want, I have had extremely fast youth development and my players average 9+ training ratings.
2. I used to play lots of Friendlies, in previous versions they were more important than this version, but they eat up valuable training days, as you can't do any real training the day before or after a match, so I really only do 1 match per week maximum and it works just fine.
3. Use the Players - Scouted menu option in the Scouting tab, it is the easiest way to keep track of all the players you have seen. I always scout all the 15-17 year olds every season that I dont already have scouting reports for. Then, as the season progresses, they populate this menu option and I have a very nice list to cherry pick the talent a year or two before the big teams start to pay attention.
Love the theory crafting dude, your set pieces are amazing, both of my CBs are now scoring 10-15 goals per season from corners, its been the difference maker more than once. Keep up the good work!
As it happens I have exactly 25 scouts. I want more, so I can send people to the few regions I'm not scouting, without diminishing my coverage of higher priority regions. For some reason the board think 25 scouts is enough.
25 scouts is definitely enough 😂
@@willallnutt4612 Good news: they just let me hire six more.
My players to scout list is way too long and features too many players that turn out to be terrible. Canceling scouting on players early in the scouting assignment if it's obvious they aren't going to be good enough helps with the backlog.
Small thing: I just realized how "influence" is a big deal in fm21. Arsenal suffered this with their current squad.
what does this mean
@@tmaki6 you gotta fill 1/4 of your starting line up with min 13 inf (premiership LV). Or else your team will buckle under pressure. Mainly of important Matches or away.
@@jonpaul3868 what's inf
and how do i find it
@@tmaki6 influence= leadership. I keep saying it in the old name.
How do you set a trail to be 2 weeks?
go onto that player's page, go onto the transfew dropdown and click offer trial. A little popup will happen saying how long do you want, and select 2 weeks there. The trial offer in the scouting centre is always one week
Got to preferences on the scouting page, you can set 2 weeks (or more) as a default.

So adding more friendlies does a whole lot better than having a full weeks worth of pre season training?!?! Also injuries will pile up with friendlies given the nature of less recovery...
