You should do a video on how to start a save with a new team where you don’t know their players, background, transfer policy etc. I’m struggling to start with teams that I don’t know a lot about
I watch your videos since the 50 tips in 10 minutes and I've never commented, so I think this is the time to thank you for teaching me so much about this game and giving me will to play it! Continue the good work! I never thought that I could learn so much about football by an american ahahah
Agreed that this is super important, particularly Team Meetings. I find that if there is a yellow thumbs down on the dynamics page underneath the dressing room atmosphere bar representing your form, you can go for the 'Things haven't been going our way' team meeting and it will work.
Great video as always. I'm finding myself binge watching your videos now as I'm going through my football manager save. Keep up the great work, and the comedy you and reece do are on point, so well done for that.
Honestly team cohesion is SO important I can stress it enough with very good it'll be so hard to beat you. You'll have the edge even when all odds are against you I won 7-0 against Inter with Hull (year was 2029 though) while the odds were in their favour
Another great video and a bunch of good information thank you. A little point of critisism, check the sound levels because i had to crank up my volume to max for this one ;-)
@@WelcomeToRadz that's weird because other YT vids work fine and i nearly crapped my pants when the commercial for a new vid came out. I think it could be heard 2 blocks over LOL. Never mind the critisism then ;-)
Maybe I’m wrong! Criticism is always important to help Zea improve the videos so always give it! I’m sure he’ll review and make sure if there is an issue, it will be sorted👍🏻
About the Rasenballsport Leipzig thing in the End: There is a prohibition in Germany against branding your Club like that, but since Clubs like Bayer 04 Leverkusen are way older than that rule they made an exception for these clubs so they didn´t need to rename themselfs. Hope this clears it up a bit.
Video idea: closer looks at lesser known leagues. For example (only picking it because it’s my specialty) the Belgian Pro League A. How does the play-off system work? What are the big clubs and how do they relate to the mid-table teams? Which clubs have great academies (Genk will make everyone’s mouth water)? What’s the tv money like? I think this could be very interesting, if not only for guiding the hardest decision in football manager: picking a save
strangely Dynamics is the thing that i always check everytime lol, and Relationships too, keeping the atmosphere as well as possible would be useful in the future, for example just like how 10+ players of my team is unhappy because i failed to qualify for UCL even though I'm the finalist last year and just won treble lol, and i tell every one of them that it would be a waste to leave this team with atmosphere this good, and everyone just forget for a fact that i failed to qualify for UCL. and everytime i buy players i would praise their training performance (if it's higher than 7.05/7.10) once every 2 weeks / 2½ weeks so that they won't be mad that I've told this recently 19:20 nah it isn't just bcoz team leader tho, check who's their favored personel, and if lucky it's his teammate, it would affect much more, especially if they've spent alot of time together
Hey Zealand. Love your content! Was wondering if you could make a video on player wages. Specifically, what determines their demands and how you can optimise your negotiations. I have seen in my saves that players seem to accept really low wages from other clubs of similar reputation when they demand sometimes triple the wage if I were to sign them (for free agents).
Great stuff Zealand!!!!!! Do you think it would be possible to do some videos on player combinations...best midfield role combinations...defence...attack. This is an area where a few people struggle (including myself) as to what role works well with another. 👍🏻
I like your videos very much and I'm quite impressed (without trying to be disrespectful) of your FM knowledge as an American. I am very curious and wanted to ask you for a long time, do you watch football regularly? Do you support any team in Europe? What is your favorite league etc.
Team dynamics is one thing, but do you know of a way to build relationships with staff? Hate leaving for a new club and having to leave my best staff behind.
Hey man great videos i've been absolutely loving them, could you someday make a guide on player attributes? How to determine if a player is good or not, this is really confusing for me because i never know if a player is good or not except for what the text says when i hover over their little star rating... For example what stats are good for a pressing forward? A defensive midfielders? How many attribute points minimum for them to be good? Is it worth making a player play on an unfamiliar position if they have the right stats for it? Thanks man keep doing your great work!
Before they put the dynamics system into FM, you could just have over half your starting 11 players dark green box Unhappy for the entire season and still reliably win consistently.
Alan F after 18 the match expirience becomes the most important way of improving. So personally I train my players untill they turn 18, if they cant break my first team, ill send them on loan.
Great video as always. The team talk trick helped me beat Man City in the FA Cup quarterfinals. I have a question and maybe idea for your next video. I recently found a "Wonderkid" in Thailand who I managed to sign on a free since he was still on a youth contract. The only problem is I'm in the EPL and he does not meet the work permit rules (even though he already has 20 caps and is only 18 years old). So I guess my question is how do I get around this? What nations should I loan him out to? Can I setup an affiliate to assist with this process?
I’d be interested to know if you think we can be biased against players because of their age, because in my save I was reluctant to player on the wing because he was 37 and I assumed he’d be slow without actually checking his speed, when I did it turned out he was very quick I started him in the next game and he scored a hat trick
Would you do a video of the weird things that happens with this 3d engine... like players that seems to be blind; ball hitting the wood and goalkeeper holding it coming from his back... etc.
What about players complaining about game time? I've found a winning tactic and my team is overachieving quite significantly, but I am not rotating much (I don't need to because very rarely is there more than 1 game per week). In a space of a week, 4-5 players came to me complaining about game time, one of which way my captain. The player playing in his position has the 3rd best average rating in the league and we are not even supposed to be challenging for anything this season. I tried telling him that the player ahead of him was having the time of his life, but he was having none of it, even though it was actually true. The problem is that he is the captain and is actually a good player, but he just doesn't fit my system. Half of my team came at me angry about his playing time, so I had to make reassurance to them that I will play him more often. Now he's coming off the bench in most of the games so that I don't completely piss my team off :D
I have a number of players (including all my team leaders) on my happiness screen that are "Concerned" under the club heading. The description doesn't really tell me what it means or how to fix it. I'm Chesterfield, 1st season in the prem. Smallest wage by a mile in the prem. Please help!
I have a suggested feature you could do...S.O.S (Save our saves) so for example I have a Torquay united save where I have got to the prem and like every edition I'm getting absolutely raped by teams....as I say this happens every installment..so I could upload my save to you and then you try and salvage it in an episode...its a win win scenario...hopefully lol
Firstly I'm a patriots fan and I'm gutted tom Brady wentbto you and you got gronk, but sorta want you to do well now, but secondly I have several players asking for more first team football but with rotation to keep them fit they are playing about 50% of the game's and I can't keep them happy, its a downward spiral right now
Considering how much you've helped me, I should build a statue for you!
IKR! This guy's the best!

Tom Brady? Is that some up-and-coming wonderkid that I haven't heard about yet? You should make a video about him
Who is Tom Brady? Trequartista? Enganche?
Deep Lying Playmaker
@@99dndd honestly yeah that’s exactly his role lmao
Team Cohesion is the most important thing in this game

that british accent... actually wasn’t that bad. good job.
I found praising conduct when they've got poor morale and approaching team talks in either an assertive or calm fashion always works
Video on all the steps you should go through during the off season (re-evaluate players, update mentoring etc.) And how to do it
Honestly team cohesion is SO important I can stress it enough with very good it'll be so hard to beat you. You'll have the edge even when all odds are against you I won 7-0 against Inter with Hull (year was 2029 though) while the odds were in their favour

Great video Zealand, how about a video on Opposition Instructions? Enjoy your Quarantine, stay safe man.
When you go to praise a player, use it passionately helps just a little more
Perfect example: Bayern (good dynamics) 8 - Barca (bad dynamics) 2
Nice vids bro

Very helpful and no chest hair peeking out at me well done lol
I'm English. I'm very impressed by your English accent. Good work.

0:18 - 0:36
Yep, sounds pretty accurate to me.
Great stuff Zealand!!!!!! Do you think it would be possible to do some videos on player combinations...best midfield role combinations...defence...attack. This is an area where a few people struggle (including myself) as to what role works well with another. 👍🏻
How about a video on setpieces? Stay safe man!
I see that the accents are useful in the videos in well ;) .
Is that a Mike Alstott jersey?! You're a real one Zealand..."ALSTOTT UP THE GUT!"
Your Video should have more Views, pretty good stuff. Keep going. :)
The reason I got Newcastle to champions league in first season was because of you thank you
I like your videos very much and I'm quite impressed (without trying to be disrespectful) of your FM knowledge as an American. I am very curious and wanted to ask you for a long time, do you watch football regularly? Do you support any team in Europe? What is your favorite league etc.
Could you please explain how you treat young players? (When you send them out on loan and when to keep them in the youth team etc)
Fantastic Videos lol, Always make me chuckle!
a video about more in tactics, role pairings , beating opposition tactics
How about a video on how to stop playing with knap tactics? Cause I just can´t.
Great work mate. Love your videos.
That five o'clock shadow suits you better than the clean-shaven look. 😉

good video thanks.
The desiccated husk of Tom Brady. (Fixed that for ya)
I'm not prepared to go over this topic again.

Could you make a target man / tall people wonderkids list? #setpieceguide :) great video mate
Well that Tom Brady guy sure seemed to be the right catalyst for the Buccaneers' Dynamics eh?
Another cracking rule of thumb 👌
You're welcome for Brady! Lol
At what age should I start playing/loaning out my youngsters?
Alan F after 18 the match expirience becomes the most important way of improving. So personally I train my players untill they turn 18, if they cant break my first team, ill send them on loan.

Also he's a real player not a newgen so feel free to look him up. Suphanat Mueanta is his name.

I've been telling people moral is the key for years..as I typed that my Blackburn team with top moral just conceded to QPR 😭
I think team cohesion is the real deal but often they go hand in hand
Green good, red bad
Arent the tampa bay buccaneers owned by the Glazers who own Man Utd.
My problem is I have to keep making everyone happy with playing time. Sometimes I don’t trust some players when it comes to games I need to win
