I appreciate that you contacted Hood before posting this video and included his short video note. Definitely added some context that wasn't obvious to me
Even with the added context though, most of Ze’s criticisms are still relevant, console players probably would like to know why the positions are set the way are and what impact specific instructions have. I might be harsh, but the video barely qualifies as instructive or informational.
Hey why is there so much gratuitous sexuality on the thumbnail? Putting Lollujo on the thumbnail? What is wrong with you Zealand? There are kids watching!
I really liked Kevs tutorial actually. I think it's aimed at the sort of player who is new and doesn't need to drill down into the weeds on their first save.
That FM Base intro brought back some good memories, I was an IT support tech during COVD, had just discovered FM and had to go to the office everyday with no much work to do, so I used to sneak in unused offices and watch your tutorial videos... good times!
Lollujo is probably one of the few that guides that does not care about attributes, but rely entirely on staff for most things which is also how real life football work. But a big part of what makes football manager enjoyable for me is learning of the attributes of the players, staff, team and how that translate to better training, tactic, opposition instructions, set pieces, , mentoring and managing injuries.
@2:30 some agents/players insist on release clauses and these can be quite low especially minimum fee ones. If you go straight into a negotiation and they red padlock it you can do nothing. You can however pre negotiation have them open to discussion over those clauses so they are either dropped entirely or white padlocked meaning you can remove them in the negotiation and exclude them yourself Going in without foreplay is a little dangerous, especially if you have very high potential players at a club they are likely too good for but are willing to potentially join I think kevs example with week wage is perhaps less important than othe factors of a contract dependant on context
Kev always pushes clubs he manages to the brink of bankruptcy which is a high risk strategy that can cripple your club if you fail to get promoted or qualify for European competition. Much as I enjoy Kev's content, I'd always advise people to try to leave a bit of financial headroom.
With respect that's just the game allowing fun. The board should never allow you to spend upwards of £160k per week for wages if the ffp allowance is only £110k. It's not actually the managers job to micro manage finances but to work with what the board say they are allowed
One I like is, when managing a non league, semi pro or even amateur team, get the BEST physio you possibly can, you can't afford players. You also can't afford to lose players to long injuries- getting them fit as fast as possible is crucial
One thing I learned this week was using a same personality player to welcome new signings is the most effective way of integrating them into the team, and to ignore the inbox item, find a senior player in the squad screen and use the ambassadorial duties interaction to get them to do the welcome.
At least Kev is funny and its enjoyable watching his posts unlike others where it is forced and cringeworthy... The sort of humour where you still live with your mummy or a virgin
@14:30 one tip I would also give is to use the "quick pick settings" tab and put a restriction on squad role to fringe (or emergency backup), this way your assistant will always pick the entire available team and any leftover spot on the bench you can give to some youngsters, this always saves me some time whenever I'm picking the entire team from game to game
If you're up for doing more tutorial videos, Zealand - exploring the data hub would be an interesting one. I find that opaque and not always that helpful. For example, if we're winning loads of tackles but not keeping the ball, what this stuff means and how you can go about addressing what it brings up.
I'm looking forward to seeing the World Cup winning tactic explained. For my latest save, I had a look at some of the most successful tactics online & then used those principles to build my own with a few tweaks to suit my personnel. I figure it's the same as a real life manager looking at Man City, Arsenal, Barcelona etc. & creating a tactic based on what works. I'd love to hear a real breakdown from someone who created a winning tactic though. Can't wait for the masterclass.
6:00 I play both ways. I have saves where I'm micromanaging every single thing, coming up with inventive tactics and set plays. Then I have other saves when I put the lads in a 4-4-2 and quick pick the team. Depends on my mood.
15:39 Imagine Zealand - the guy who makes 13 minute long videos about a 90 second twitter clip or just 2 tweets, and always spends the first minute (and a half) trying to hype up the story / describe his emotions before even starting to talk about the actual story - complaining about unnecessarily long intros. 😂❤
Honestly started using instalments this year and was able to transform my squad's quality quicker than blowing the budget on a handful of players. When you are competing against the biggest clubs in the world as Bristol City you need to look for any advantage.
I never knew installment were look down upon the comunity :o. I started playing FM in FM22 and ALWAYS used them, even when I didn't knew how to play the game haha
I really think fm would do well to make morale and player issues less important/frequent. It often feels like I'm playing the sims for the most part, let me manage the club how I want. Just a little box to turn it off when i start a save would suffice
I do agree because it can get really annoying. But I also can't help but think of "real" work and collegues. Hell nobody ever shuts the hell up complaining about anything and everything. If I compare it to that it seems pretty realistic😂
lollujo is the only fm creator who makes me think i could probably succeed in the game myself, and that's probably why he's the only one I watch regularly. No offense to you or any of the others, my brain just can't keep all the information I'd need to play around with all the little details.
the thing w installments is the money is added to your debt and affects the future transfer budgets until paid off. So I agree there is absolutely nothing wrong w using them you don’t see it all but you pay every dime haha
Is this the Kendrick v Drake beef of the FM world? (Kev you're Drake here FYI). In all seriousness, Lollujo's vids got me into the game a long time ago. There's room for a creator focussed on simplicity for those that aren't as hardcore as some of us balls deep FMers.
I'm sure that the player stars are compared to the other players in your squad rather than the league you play in, if you have a 4 star defender and you buy a better rated defender, the 4 star defender will become 3 1/2 or 3 star rating.
for the agent wage thing, you very much are able to lower it, i dont think ive ever renewed a contract without speaking to the agent, and they give a range for a reason, it's still negotiable
Question about the contract negotiations. How can I approximate what the player wants if I don’t ask the agent. I’ve only played FM24 for around 500 hours, and have had a few mishaps where I try to sign a player and the entire wage/pw and all other bonuses are empty for me to fill in. How do I avoid cases like these. I have had multiple potential wonderkid signings which fell through because I was terrible at guessing the wage this player wants.
Nah, this was a misfire. I enjoy your videos very much but with this, you're essentially tearing into other TH-camr's work. It doesn't come across well.
King Kev is by far the most entertaining FM creator, is he the best probably not but hes up there! He does more than ANYONE does to keep people interested or to keep playing the game as he has a personality which 99.9% others don't have or if they do it is cringeworthy as it is forced...
I hate to say this but I'm literally bored watching crab FM contents I'm not specifying anyone but it's all same boring tatics recreation which normally doesn't really works apart from simulation
i have played 0 seconds of football manager and i also never watched any content on it expect simulations of seasons for fun but they dont have any mechanics or stuff i not played fifa since 1998 and i not played a football manager since 2000's "Anstoss 3" which was a funny cartony one xD i also am a very casual football watcher so i dont know any players rly xD since football manager 24 was free i wonder if i should start and just try to play it xD
Any excuse to put me on a thumbnail.
And FM isn’t as complicated as you think it is.
I just needed the raw sex appeal how do you think I did
It's complicated when your national sports are Steroid Rounders/Padded Rugby/Lanky Netball.
Sorry Z, love you really.
@@SteveDFM tbf, American football is not close to rugby, it's also exceedingly complicated
American football = egg ball, does it not?
@@SteveDFMNot padded rugby. Handegg ;)
I only respect my GOAT Deep Lying Playmaker's guides

Not only Console players by the way people who plug and play need to learn why a tacitc doesn’t work too
The Deep Lying Playmaker is on another level compared to any other FM tutorials.
Zealand, balls.
too many of them in Boston ngl
So true
his writing is fire ⁉️✍️🔥
Big balls
Deep Lying Playmaker is the BEST
Hey why is there so much gratuitous sexuality on the thumbnail? Putting Lollujo on the thumbnail? What is wrong with you Zealand? There are kids watching!
Because he looks bangable
One more like please guys
Couldn’t help myself
Is this Kev's other account? 🧐
I really liked Kevs tutorial actually. I think it's aimed at the sort of player who is new and doesn't need to drill down into the weeds on their first save.
Yep he's the first tuber YT recommended me when I started learning the game. I like his style. Z? He was 2nd.
Thanks for the shoutout Z! Runners up ain’t bad, coming for the crown next time! 👑
FM Base. What a throwback, lol.
FM Enjoyer : Morale in Football Manager is King
Ten Hag : F that, i won 2 cups in 2 years with only 700 mil pounds🗿
Club: meets up to sack ten Hag
ten Hag: You can't do that. I've won 2 cups with only 700m spent.
Club: OK nvm then.
You should highlight the work done by MustermannFM and TheDeepLyingPlaymaker, both seriously underrated FM content creators that need the exposure!
Stinger is excellent too. Some of the challenges he does are crazy.

Zealand talking about oldschool TH-cam intros.. ah the memories of him starting out for FM Base with a similar intro.
Tbf I actually prefer that. But this is coming from someone old enough to remember when shows DIDN'T have a "skip intro" button. 😂
DLP explains player roles so well. Please react to his content Zealand
This feels like listening to K-Dot's verse in Control. Both shouting out and throwing shade to others colleague in the game.
Kev always pushes clubs he manages to the brink of bankruptcy which is a high risk strategy that can cripple your club if you fail to get promoted or qualify for European competition. Much as I enjoy Kev's content, I'd always advise people to try to leave a bit of financial headroom.

Kev........ but we won the champions league, but next season we have to sell everyone to fix the 500m in debt lol

Zealand making fun of lollujo, as usual.
good. knock kev down a peg
I think the saying is " If you can't beat them, make fun of them "
At least Kev is funny and its enjoyable watching his posts unlike others where it is forced and cringeworthy... The sort of humour where you still live with your mummy or a virgin
What's the beef between them? They always seem to hate each other passive aggressively.
@@JD91191there is no beef
Clear selection or subs has been a feature of the game for quite a long time actually Zealand.
2:10 Zealand talking about old FM videos as "Pre-me" has insane aura, dude really is the Messiah
Someone had to point that out. I loved it
"I'm hungry for knowledge." Zealand confirmed as the Brollachan.
I have been playing this game since 1999. Still don't know it all. Still getting fm'd. Zealand your like a brother to me, thank you. From Argentina

Pretty rich of Zealand to complain about long intros given what his zealandism videos are like 😅
Tbf the long intros is why I watch Zealandism😂
I'll add to that he has a tendency to ramble so can't really talk about another tuber doing that. 😂
I'm looking forward to seeing the World Cup winning tactic explained.

Lots of respect for Jake, makes some good stuff.
Honestly started using instalments this year and was able to transform my squad's quality quicker than blowing the budget on a handful of players. When you are competing against the biggest clubs in the world as Bristol City you need to look for any advantage.
The teamwork and workrate attributes are essential for your tactic being effective 90% of the time.
"pre me" astoundingly arrogant. Bye.
Re the point about WTS's intro - he got sponsored a while back so that's partially why he has the funky intro.
I think I learned more about video content creation from this than FM tips 😉
Fletch the sauce is amazing. He is great with tactics and analysis.
15:22 WHAT A THROWBACK
Whoever wrote the data analytics guide linked in the Musterman skin
Its so art deco
I never knew installment were look down upon the comunity :o. I started playing FM in FM22 and ALWAYS used them, even when I didn't knew how to play the game haha
Hot take: you talk to agents to reduce playing time demands so you can rotate more, not to nickel and dime on wages.
I really think fm would do well to make morale and player issues less important/frequent. It often feels like I'm playing the sims for the most part, let me manage the club how I want. Just a little box to turn it off when i start a save would suffice

That’s fantastic honestly, there’s so many different ways to play the game it’s good for everyone to find their favorite
Love the trolling of @Lollujo in the thumbnail. A bit of beef over the Network game?? lol.
the thing w installments is the money is added to your debt and affects the future transfer budgets until paid off. So I agree there is absolutely nothing wrong w using them you don’t see it all but you pay every dime haha

Holy crap small forehead Zealand is just Fabrizio Romano
I'm sure that the player stars are compared to the other players in your squad rather than the league you play in, if you have a 4 star defender and you buy a better rated defender, the 4 star defender will become 3 1/2 or 3 star rating.
I kinda want to see a Zealand YT inro now. Get it done!
As soon as heard that comment about TomFM's hair it was a could focus on.
Now we need these guys to get together and rate yours!
Haha can't believe Z didn't know you could clear the team. Pretty sure it's been on the last 4 years or so 😂
for the agent wage thing, you very much are able to lower it, i dont think ive ever renewed a contract without speaking to the agent, and they give a range for a reason, it's still negotiable
Lets do video where you watch your old videos :D
Question about the contract negotiations. How can I approximate what the player wants if I don’t ask the agent. I’ve only played FM24 for around 500 hours, and have had a few mishaps where I try to sign a player and the entire wage/pw and all other bonuses are empty for me to fill in.

26:21 "in comparison to your current league"
Me dropping my lower league 2.5 stars players for better ones 😅
Laying some credentials on the table
I got relegated using man city in the second season
Oil up Zealand
I‘ve played FM for 5 years now and still the first thing I do with every save is ‚delegate delegate delegate delegate‘
Not sure how I feel about reacting or rating other's content
You’ve done kev dirty there 😂
Actually Ichsan has explained the philosophy behind the tactic setup in his channel. In Indonesian language tho.
Deep lying playmaker very impressive tutorials
Zealand, most TH-cam channels with a decent viewership have intros. I wouldn't call it "old-school" at all.
This videos pulls all the right lavers 😅
I casually have 1333 hours on fm 24 lol
Z obviously not jealous of Kevs FMSS titles.
Lewandowski? They haven't paid for Frenkie De Jong yet.
Ajax sold the claim to a factoring company at a discount to get access to the money sooner.
Liverpool sold the debt for the coutinho payments as well and Barcelona did everything they could to make sure performance related fees didn't happen.
Ngl when I first looked for FM tutorials YT recommended Lollujo to me. Not you, Z. You were next. Make of that what you will.
I’m suing TH-cam
@ZealandonYT - so you should dude! That's quite blatant favouritism on their part! 🤣
My biggest complaint about Zealand vids is they just start and stop, so I'm officially old school then.
The clear team/subs has been in for years, maybe decades
the number of instructions on that championship winning tactic makes my eyes bleed
Nah, this was a misfire. I enjoy your videos very much but with this, you're essentially tearing into other TH-camr's work. It doesn't come across well.
It would be good if you upload it in 1080p
Brutal takes
King Kev is by far the most entertaining FM creator, is he the best probably not but hes up there! He does more than ANYONE does to keep people interested or to keep playing the game as he has a personality which 99.9% others don't have or if they do it is cringeworthy as it is forced...
Oh this content is down bad... Rating other tutorials 😂
Lollujo's top tip:
- open Fm Scout and download a broken tactic.
What tutorial would you recommend the most!
Getting back into FM after about 5 years off 😂
Fm 2025 delay = Internet wolfpit
Great thumbnail!! 😂
I have close to 12 thousand hours in FM12 and counting. 🥶
Love the thumbnail :)
Pre set tactics? Is that other people's downloaded tactics?
no??? its the default tactics by si
The video was so wishy washy he had to make a correction appearance.
Ask RM and Mbappe for installments 🤣 "we are paying him just 30millions per year" and it was free!!
Hubris. We are all playing top trumps - it's not football -
You have some people in your bot comment section Z
Ew people. I want my links in bio
Beep beep boop
JAKE COOPER IS MY DAD!
Zealand my dude, it's time to go bald
bustthenet deserves far more subs. Videos for grown ups, if you like that sort of thing
Sick of seeing Lollujo’s face when I type in football manger in google.
I hate to say this but I'm literally bored watching crab FM contents I'm not specifying anyone but it's all same boring tatics recreation which normally doesn't really works apart from simulation
Zealand getting pretty big headed
i have played 0 seconds of football manager and i also never watched any content on it expect simulations of seasons for fun but they dont have any mechanics or stuff
i not played fifa since 1998 and i not played a football manager since 2000's "Anstoss 3" which was a funny cartony one xD
i also am a very casual football watcher so i dont know any players rly xD
since football manager 24 was free i wonder if i should start and just try to play it xD
i still want to know what the FM base intro song is titled.
