I'm just so happy that you finally made an episode about football! I'm also baffled that 'Utopia' was designed to be as boring (not even defensive or risk averse) as possible, while 'Chaos' was designed to be high octane offensive football.
Confused me, too. I sort of understand it, but I thought Utopia were going to be much more Manchester City than Burnley. I also thought Chaos would be more of a crazy team, haha
I love how they were doing well against second division teams from around Europe in pre-season and as soon they start the proper season, the stats start plummeting.
Why are you counting preseason friendlies, especially when each team is playing different opposition? I thought the counting would start at the regular season start.
I love how jon tried his best to come up with stupid formations, but he somehow circled back to reality with a 4-2-2-2 that is, to be fair, a rare formation in real life but totally does happen on occasion in modern soccer, and a 4-4-2, the most "standard" formation in soccer, but just on all-out-attack, which is traditionally the exact opposite of what a 4-4-2 team normally does. He essentially came up with soccer formations from a parallel universe.
"This low key affair ultimately provided a damp squib of a spectacle, with fans and experts alike struggling to stay awake throughout the contest." (Match report after Fumble Utopia's first PL win.) I love that FU's top scorer is their centre half.
Kofie's reaction to those last minutes against Chelsea is something every FM player has experienced multiple times over. This is how FM getting it's claws into you starts - don't pick up the game unless you're prepared to lose hundreds, if not thousands of your life to FM. This video was the crossover 2020 needed.
I'm 35 minutes in and they're talking about pre-seasons. Chaos' opponent's in pre-season have been typically very weak teams in weaker leagues while Utopia have played top of the table teams from some of the 5 best leagues in Europe, including Bayer Leverkusen and Nice. It's a bit awkward to see them say that Chaos is looking strong as they'd likely lose by more than Utopia did against Leverkusen.
I love that out of just taking a basketball tactic Kofie landed at Paul Gludovatz' 3-3-3-1 which with he made SV Ried a team no one liked to play but everyone respected for their bold tactics. And that Jon's Chaos team is basically how football was played before the offside rule was changed to today's form. Basically playing football as if it was rugby.

The community loves this stuff, people vote for story of the year and what not. I've got the makings of a great story for you in particular Kofie.

The Leeds fans rejoice, but their joy is short lived as they soon realize Tony might not be all there after a series of bizzare incidents culminating in him deciding to appoint his estranged American raised son Kofie as manager. Kofie a man with no background in association football despite his fathers former profession was a college level American football player, but never made it to the NFL level. After college he decided to take up coaching, worked his way up the ladder through an assistant role in a high school football set up, all the way to head coach of a division 1 college team where he was starting to gain a reputation and was being mooted for an NFL head coaching role, but when his father offered him the chance to manage Leeds United and reconcile their fractured relationship he just couldn't turn it down. With the fans against "this clueless yank" from day one, trusted into the deep end with no knowledge of the sport and a father/boss that's at best eccentric and at worst a full blown maniac, how will Kofie cope? Will he shock the football world bringing Leeds United back to the glory days and revolutionizing the game in the process with his outside the box thinking or as predicted fail miserably? Will he rekindle his relationship with his father and pull him back from the brink or try and have him commited to an insane asylum? The possabilities are endless....

I wanna preface this with a thank you to y'all for making this content. I have been playing FM for a few years and this is easily one of the best FM videos I have ever seen. Kim touched on this topic a bit at around 13:00 but back in the early-mid 1900s teams used really wacky formation and tactics, y'all would probably be amazed at how weird it was. A good/easy way to see and understand what i am talking about is a youtube channel "Tifo football" they have 5 minute videos "Tactics explained: a history of the world cup" where they research the formations and strategies used by teams in world cups as far back as the 1930s all the way to the 2018 world cup. It would be so cool if y'all tried to implement something like that into one of these saves
Koffie: which makes me think VAR is the true enemy. Words have never been spoken much sweeter. First time watching this and the background music and their funny commentary really makes it!

I would love to see a hockey fumble dimension episode
I love how u guys organize your videos. The channel surely deserves more and more recognition.
this is absolute agony to watch. fantastic video kofie thank you
By far the best and most in depth club management/franchise mode major sports game out there with an endless amount of editing options.
Jon having the same Utopia formation as Kim's Chaos one cracked me up.
As a Football Manager TH-camr, it is fantastic to see the game get a big spotlight from a huge channel like yourself!👍
This episode of Ted Lasso had more graphs than normal
I wanna preface this with a thank you to y'all for making this content. I have been playing FM for a few years and this is easily one of the best FM videos I have ever seen. Kim touched on this topic a bit at around 13:00 but back in the early-mid 1900s teams used really wacky formation and tactics, y'all would probably be amazed at how weird it was. A good/easy way to see and understand what i am talking about is a youtube channel "Tifo football" they have 5 minute videos "Tactics explained: a history of the world cup" where they research the formations and strategies used by teams in world cups as far back as the 1930s all the way to the 2018 world cup. It would be so cool if y'all tried to implement something like that into one of these saves
If you want to make an omelette, you have to shoot goals in a soccer game... I mean soccer match.
I have used the "all attackers" while controlling other teams in FM to make them lose for decades. This video makes me so happy.
18:40 The Jon's formation reminds me of the early age of football in England where the people actually played that way
Great content, I’m a gigantic football fan and I enjoy this kind of exploration from outsiders to the sports
Kofie created Manchester United by mistake with his chaos team lmao.
Koffie: which makes me think VAR is the true enemy.
Words have never been spoken much sweeter. First time watching this and the background music and their funny commentary really makes it!
it's very important to me that kofie pronounces it "cue-pon"
tragic that fumble dimension is no longer "unraveled but crowdsourced" but I'm loving the experience of learning how soccer works through jon and kofie's eyes
Kim really knows her stuff, she’s better than any tv commentators.
Knows her football manager. Idk about real sport
