Think that contract is bad. Got promoted to Championship bought a good at the time striker, put him on a 4 year contract and amazingly got promoted to Prem straight away. Hadn't noticed when I signed the striker he had a match highest earner clause, when I started signing players in the Prem his wage went through the roof, originally he was on £2000 a week but now with 6 months left on his contract he is not even making the bench for my U23 team and and earning £275,000 a week
This is why it's extremely important to look at everything in the contract and also to try and keep the wages down as agents or players will always try and get the biggest deal possible, so it's up to the manager to keep it down so it doesn't hurt the club's finances.
Did something similar in FM19 i think. Signed someone in L1 or 2 with a 50% promotion increase then never re-negotiated... Got some quick promotions but then he wasn't good enough for the CH/PL and couldn't shift him as he was on insane wages
I had the same thing happen on fm15, Liam Marsden (who now plays for Matlock Town irl ahaha) got a ridiculous wage hike around 175k a week for my Mansfield team

Zealand man, I've been playing Football Manager (and championship manager before) since the 90's, but one of the best things to come out of that game is your channel. Incredibly interesting and freaking hilarious. KUTGW, I hope you continue making videos for a long, long time.
Be strong in regaining trust. Freeze them out for 4-6 games then slowly make bench for another 4 games and bring them on a couple of times. Worked for me a couple of times, just remaining strong.
I'd even scout Central America too... every once and again they get a couple world beating wonder kids. Also somebody get this man his editor back he's going feral
Zealand's new club : "but boss, we already have a new kit" Zealand: "Now we have an even newer one" Players : "But boss, these our not our club's colors" Zealand : "WEAR MY MERCH"
Central America, that's always been a save saver for me when it comes to players. No matter the club and position I can always find someone who helps if not saves my career. I also always look for a decent scout to scout that area, if i switch jobs I take him with me.
Did a Barca save myself and just transitioned the older players out by playing them less Alba, Bouquets and Pique all asked to leave for a new challenge Coutinho refused to leave so loaned out for as much wage as I could and let his contract go Messi kept offering contracts just so his contract would he less and used him as cover and good mentor for the younger players Also brought it the cheat code that is Haaland
Trust is easy to regain if you regularly praise players for their training, or criticize them when they are being lazy in training, and praise them to the max in the media. If you aren't on the short end of a contract feel free to hold on to angry players for a season to see if a couple of trophy's convince them that their bitchfit wasn't worth having. Once you get a good general feeling in the lockeroom you can often use the option in conversations that says something to the like of "you won't find a team environment like this..." to generally get your way out of trouble. Hitting the praise button under the training reports might seem monotonous- but it builds rapport with your players.
Old comment but I went from adversarial to very close with Calvert-Lewin in I think a little over a season through mostly just through training praise, match praise and the like after I refused to sell him or give him a new contract
@@man4437 Yeah this exactly. I can't tell you how many times I've turned down big transfers and had to deal with a bit of a tiff. I also really like the dialogue option that says you turned down the transfer because it didnt represent their value- as long as you've set a ridiculous transfer value on the said players they will generally agree (which btw in order to do so if they take issue with their value simply choose the response saying that you think they are that valuable).
Yeah its a new editor for the channel who, I thought, did a great job overall. Especially with that "loans" sequence. But yeah the zooms were a bit off tbf.
I just started a save that I like to call "the hardest yet". I started unemployed, with no managerial experience and no licenses. I have been hired by a team from the second division of Gibraltar. So far great. The most curious thing about the game is that I have a mod without attributes (I only see colored lines, which give me a slight idea of the player). So I have to be guided by my coaching staff. Let's see how far I get in the save.
Love these videos! I did a Cukaricki save in FM20. I got to the UCL group stage in my 3rd season. Our best success in sourcing good starters were the non-top 2 in that league and nearby countries with manageable release clauses. We got good squad players from Africa (didn’t load the league) and our youth system (poured money into it). Good luck!
I remember that time a Sunday league side wanted to sign me. When I popped into the local pub to discuss contract terms my value went from 3 pints of Guinness to £1.2million + Add ons. amazing what happens in England
This title really reminds me that player contracts and values in general don't get talked about a lot in football like at all. You see it all the time in the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB whenever free agency rolls around or when star players sign contract extensions.
That thing with the scoutingassignment is just a label "problem" if you manually instruct your scout to scout for players, in specific age, potential/ability, it will label in the overview of scoutingassignments that you are scouting for squadplayers even if you are looking for hot prospects if you have it customized.
The more I watch you the funnier I think you are, the end was great. And also great educational videos, started two days ago with Lecce in Serie B...not really sure what I'm doing but I'm not as overwhelmed thanks to you.
Dude, for the first save (Eintracht), Zealand is absolutely right. Your cheapest wonderkids are going to be in South America outside of the big 3 (Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela). Where is Matias Arezo from? That's right, not the big 3. The third save I love because in my Malaga save, Barca sold me Gavi for 1 mil. He was my AMC for two seasons until I got Yusuf Demir (then Gavi moved to midfield alongside Nicolo Rovella).
@@Kimera794 Cost wise. Those three nations tend to ask the most for their young talents, in my experience. I can gut the rest of South America for pennies but those countries tend to put the highest values on their youth. It's been a while (FM18) since I've even focused scouting there though. The deals in Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Paraguay are just too good. Especially when running a Spanish club.
The start of this video gives me flashbacks on some of the players i've had over fm saves... a suriname winger i got on a free called roel verwey who got one goal and twenty-one assists on loan, a legendary bolivian keeper called marcelo juarez and the time i got a colombian winger for 230k called oscar aguilar and sold him for 99 million
It’s always tough to “take the next step” from being a Poland league winner or Serbia or whatever. The next step obviously being competing for a Champions League. It’s not only hard to get the money but it also can be hard to keep players. I swear you can be winning in Poland and getting to the Champions League group stage every year and I swear you’ll have players who want to leave to go play in the Championship...
Worst contracts I'VE ever seen are always my own manager's contracts. I generally walk after getting a team to the top tier, because managers who were relegated get better wages than me. ANYWAYS.... Would you consider doing a "How to park the Bus" video? Every time I try to play fully defensively, I just get pummeled with opposition highlights until they score. At which point I get pissed off and crank up the Offense. I then swear never to go defensive again. I'd really love to see such a video, because I'm a massive cheater who is trying to reduce the amount of cheating I do now that I'm in FM21. 2 years ago I knew bupkis about soccer( yep;American), so I've been learning about it from FM20 and now fm21. Great show. also love to see more attribute testing
To be fair to the Barca manager player, Busquets has had poor acceleration, agility, pace, stamina, and strength since he was 20 and still has managed to be a solid DM for his entire career. If he can do it was 10 pace at 20 years old, he can do it with 6 pace at 38 years old.
I know this will sound like a jackass move for a coach, but one of the options when talking to a player that wants to leave is: No teams have showed interest in you, lets talk about it again when concrete offers show up. I abuse this option, and not only it will silence the player for now it might actually improve their moral and he will drop the issue until the next market window. On the next market window I just do the same and keep doing it until an actual offer comes through or I want to actively sell the player. At that point I set a fair asking price for the palyer that he agrees on and we are both happy with it. If an offer of that value comes he can leave if it doesn't he can stay. I managed to keep key players in the squad happy for 3 years with this strategy. This also works if you are trying to wait a bit more until you renew a contract to a palyer you want to keep, just dont do it for such a long period of time, maybe 1 year or so. As long as no teams actually come along and make an offer you are good and the player will be happy. In real life I would never treat someone like this, in a game, hell yes I will. Some players think they are better then they actually are and you can mess with them a bit.
Actually Busquets is one guy, in both real life and FM, that could still be good when he is 38. What makes him good, again both in game and in real life, is basically completely centered around his intelligence, his positioning (among the best in his positioning all time), passing and a certain kind of ball skills. He’s always been damn near immobile. More so in game than in real life. Although he’s never been anything but slow in real life either. I don’t know. I mean what stat that makes him the player he is will go down with age? Although it’s still a horrible contract of course. Partly because I don’t think Busquets, even in his prime, at his peak, had ever really translated to FM properly. (I mean it’s not as bad as in FIFA. Lol. Where the guy had like a 88 rating but was one of the worst players in the game he was so bad.) I mean he’s not bad. It’s FM, not FIFA. But I don’t think he’s worth his price and you have Pedri... I certainly wouldn’t tie him up with a long term contract.
In my barcalona carrer mode on I sold all my old players in season 1 but kept Messi signed Reyna and converted him into a CDM Sancho Converted into a RW and I was smart by getting sancho on a pre contract and paying £50 Millon for Reyna my regens and youth academy talents got game time in Cup games and some where loaned out swapped ter Stegen for Oblak signed buffon as number 2 keeper for Certain European games some Domestic cup games and less important league games.
16:13 an idea with Busquets is to press him to do coaching badges and then 2 years into the deal offer him a player coach contract which will be less cash

I finally found the video. We need a damn full version of that song!
Instantly heard the Save By The Bell theme song in my head when I saw the jumper
Ahahahaha the old pics of Busquests and Messi made me laugh so hard
Future Liverpool manager right here
You made my day!
in serbia you cant have more then 4 foren players, thats the problem at cukaricki
Worst contracts I'VE ever seen are always my own manager's contracts. I generally walk after getting a team to the top tier, because managers who were relegated get better wages than me.
ANYWAYS....
Would you consider doing a "How to park the Bus" video? Every time I try to play fully defensively, I just get pummeled with opposition highlights until they score. At which point I get pissed off and crank up the Offense. I then swear never to go defensive again.
I'd really love to see such a video, because I'm a massive cheater who is trying to reduce the amount of cheating I do now that I'm in FM21. 2 years ago I knew bupkis about soccer( yep;American), so I've been learning about it from FM20 and now fm21.
Great show.
also love to see more attribute testing
To be fair to the Barca manager player, Busquets has had poor acceleration, agility, pace, stamina, and strength since he was 20 and still has managed to be a solid DM for his entire career. If he can do it was 10 pace at 20 years old, he can do it with 6 pace at 38 years old.
16:45 Mad production values
With that low voice on the "Loan-song", you could totally cover Chocolate Rain!
The Zealand barbershop quintet looks incredible
loans.....loans......LOOOOOANS. Damn that ended too soon.
Zealand heading up the Jorge Campos appreciation club with that humdinger of a sweater.
I know this will sound like a jackass move for a coach, but one of the options when talking to a player that wants to leave is: No teams have showed interest in you, lets talk about it again when concrete offers show up.
I abuse this option, and not only it will silence the player for now it might actually improve their moral and he will drop the issue until the next market window.
On the next market window I just do the same and keep doing it until an actual offer comes through or I want to actively sell the player. At that point I set a fair asking price for the palyer that he agrees on and we are both happy with it. If an offer of that value comes he can leave if it doesn't he can stay.
I managed to keep key players in the squad happy for 3 years with this strategy. This also works if you are trying to wait a bit more until you renew a contract to a palyer you want to keep, just dont do it for such a long period of time, maybe 1 year or so. As long as no teams actually come along and make an offer you are good and the player will be happy.
In real life I would never treat someone like this, in a game, hell yes I will. Some players think they are better then they actually are and you can mess with them a bit.
Absolute madlad
The Liverpool badge behind the Saints badge!!! Superb
3:49 mate you just caught me lacking, I was about to ask that question lmao
Absolutely love these vids 👍👍👍
If that contract is bad, what about the time I accidentally gave a 18 year old prospect 9 millions per year?
Actually Busquets is one guy, in both real life and FM, that could still be good when he is 38. What makes him good, again both in game and in real life, is basically completely centered around his intelligence, his positioning (among the best in his positioning all time), passing and a certain kind of ball skills. He’s always been damn near immobile. More so in game than in real life. Although he’s never been anything but slow in real life either. I don’t know. I mean what stat that makes him the player he is will go down with age? Although it’s still a horrible contract of course. Partly because I don’t think Busquets, even in his prime, at his peak, had ever really translated to FM properly. (I mean it’s not as bad as in FIFA. Lol. Where the guy had like a 88 rating but was one of the worst players in the game he was so bad.) I mean he’s not bad. It’s FM, not FIFA. But I don’t think he’s worth his price and you have Pedri... I certainly wouldn’t tie him up with a long term contract.
In my barcalona carrer mode on I sold all my old players in season 1 but kept Messi signed Reyna and converted him into a CDM Sancho Converted into a RW and I was smart by getting sancho on a pre contract and paying £50 Millon for Reyna my regens and youth academy talents got game time in Cup games and some where loaned out swapped ter Stegen for Oblak signed buffon as number 2 keeper for Certain European games some Domestic cup games and less important league games.
LOAN!!! xD Felt so bad i couldnt watch the stream last 2-3 days because of work... looking forward to more streams
Zealand is what the kids call "dripped out" today
Bruh that England joke was hilarious
As if that song is stuck in my head now
Thank you for the notification Vanessa
16:13 an idea with Busquets is to press him to do coaching badges and then 2 years into the deal offer him a player coach contract which will be less cash
Love the loan song 😂
We need more singing in the stream ngl
TBF, that is quite drippy.
PROPS TO THE EDITOR
Shoutout to Reece for calling Liverpool a mid table club
I'm pretty sure that was a joke about how Liverpool treats Southampton like a feeder club.
Sam edited this

It still makes me shudder when I hear someone talking about football and I hear “Dollars” haha
