I Try To Save Your FM Saves

Рет қаралды 517,142

Football Manager is a challenging game with so many different layers, there is no way to make guides and tutorials about all of them. Each player on FM21 is going to run into an experience with their squad, scouting, tactics, or transfers that noone else has ever had. So, what is the best way to help everyone on FM if all this is true? How about I take your saves that have problems, and try to save them.
We have been doing this on stream for quite some time now, but we recently ran into a situation where I had too many saves to save before I left. Amazingly, there is only so much time I can spend playing Football Manager. Thusly, I have decided to use the word thusly, and impart any wisdom I can to guide people on FM21 to the promised land that they have not yet been able to find. No hard feelings about anything, everything in football manager can be something that undoes your save so there is something that all of us overlook. Onward!
Much Love,
FM Senpai

This is one of those videos where I just stop and think about what I'm looking at. I'm looking at a guy from Florida in a tuna shirt surrounded by flags and a whiteboard that says "pay attention" on it while he is telling a guy how to save his virtual career in the Macedonian first division.

The biggest problem I have faced in such saves (I mean the Scottish one) in the past that you lose a shitton of reputation if you sell any of your players. I legit ended up losing rep every year in my Wales league save to the point of being one of the lowest reps in first tier even though I won league every year without even drawing a game and performed well in Europe every season (and my league rivals were like barely professional clubs, still rated higher than me:D). Idk if it still is like that in FM21 though.

I've been playing FM for like 21 years, i began when it still was CM, and every time I've played with 3 on the midfield they were 3 playmakers (when the game allowed for it). In my current save I'm 4 points away from the la Liga top spot in my second year with sporting de Gijón after getting promoted. I'm playing a dlp defend and another on support on the midfield, and an ap in the am spot. 14-7-2 run, 4th maximum scorer of the league with my striker as top scorer with a 5 goals advantage over the second and 5 less games played. Definitively 3 playmakers can make it.

i run the full wingback on each side and Amls and it works perfect if you have good players on those positions. I use ball playing defenders. On the wings i use with targemen. Its a full kinda pressing system. Attacking is the best defence and you will be suprised how well this works. Its not like real life where those wingback will get over run a lot. Also use a high line to push them back. I dominate every game with this tactic. Most i scored in a season is about 153 goals.

Speaking of players locking release clause. There is actually a thing you can do, and in order to understand how it works you need to understand the role you have in a club. Whenever I have a youngster in my team and he suddenly becomes better and wants a better contract very often his agent will put release clause in. What I do is check his contract lenght, if its at least 2-3 years I can go and reject his offer and break negotiations. Now 3 things might happen, if the player blames agent for this he will change him. They might stay together but if u renegotiate after 3 weeks contract u will see they will be more careful not to piss u off and wont lock anything at first place. The third option is the worst, if your player is too mad with you because of relations or previous issues u had he might not be interested anymore in negotiations but in most cases they will negotiate with u after. I sign loads of better contacts by just blackmailing players if you can call it that way. :) Its the same when a player cries about the fact he dont play enough. If you have better players and its obvious he wont play first squad just tell him that u see him as sub not 1st team player and he might accept that. Sometimes I would even say to them that ok, if you dont play enough you can find a new club no problem, and than player stars to apologise to you and tells u to forget about it. :) Just like in rl life

haha I wish I had found your channel earlier. Maybe my save isn't that bad but I had West Ham finish one spot away from euro in year 1 and made the champions league in year 2. In year 3, we are winning games against the likes of Barcelona and Milan and have ourselves in the quarter finals in the Champions league. Oh, and are also in a relegation place in the premier league because I guess we fancy ourselves some sort of jet setters and don't want to get up for these boring domestic games. Ive tried everything. New tactic's, even googled cheese tactic's, changed some personnel, yelled at them, coddled them, rested them, pushed them, we go into the prem and shit the bed to Watford and then fly oversea's and win 3-0 against Barcelona with the same tactic. It's been like this the entire year. We started average but the second we started Champions league games they shit the bed in England...Im Baffled. So I made a backup save, quit (because screw getting sacked lol), and now I manage Tottenham...and am losing almost every game again so eff me i guess, hey haha.

I didn't expect to see someone do a Panathinaikos save! It's always my go-to team and like you said, I filled the team with as many loan players as I could. It takes some time to find someone willing to come to Greece though. Aside from Cantalapiedra (who plays well as a striker too), his bench could be filled with those players instead of the dead weight Panathinaikos has in almost every position. It's a truly mediocre team that needs improving. Villafanez and Carlitos are way overpaid, Macheda isn't a striker you can rely on, Dioudis is error-prone. Unfortunately many of those players are either new to the team or influential enough that you can't get rid of them easily. Even if you get rid of high contracts by selling them at half price though, it's worth it considering how much in debt they are. Most importantly, there is one decent CB in the team, there is no way he'll survive the season without finding someone else, even for backup. And It's not only the 1 million debt, they also have 2 loans they have to repay at some point and that can hang over your head going forward. Arranging friendly leagues with bigger clubs during the Summer helps a lot when you got no money. The major problem Panathinaikos has is that you can't find good staff in the first year. The wage restrictions by the board are ridiculous so you're stuck with bad coaches and whatever scout you can find for at least a year, don't know if that will change in the second year.

Its kind of killed my save because they just bought my stadium off the company harrogate was leasing it from. And gave me a 20mil budget.

I brought on a few new players and played the first 5 or 6 matches in the CSL and then got a contract offer from Metalist, and was seduced by their good infrastructures and secure finances. I now have a squad full of Ukrainian teenagers on course to get promoted and go kick Shakhtar's ass. My Chinese friends look like they're gonna get relegated, but they did beat Guangzhou.
