Thank you for having me Team Zealand

Bartusiak is two footed which you didn't mention and makes a big difference for me, especially as a CAM

Should do like a 1-11 like this, then make the teams you picked from the picks.

I know that this isn't saying much Zee, but you are by far the best thing to have ever come out of Florida!

He didn't put the link to the facepack as per usual lmao

I have a gigantic winger with average to poor attributes in everything yet he has 18 strength and 20 heading and he scores 20+ headed goals alone from the wing benching my 200 million superstar.

Pretty cool to see Strauß and Bartusiak featured in this, thanks for the thoughts guys!

Origi scored in the CL final, don't let your memes be dreams

The Strauss vs Bartusiak is very clear to me. Change of formation to accomodate both, or retrain one of them into a different position.

Concentration on Strikers is THE most underrated stat. Your striker can get isolated when you are not controlling possession and/or you are playing counter attack, in that situation you need a striker with concentration to remain focused to capitalise on defensive mistakes, beat the offside trap and be ready to take that one chance that might come his way. Concentration and Composure in real life are the difference between an average striker and a world class striker and its pretty much the same on FM.

Surely they should be looking at their scout's appraisals too before making a decision, since players have so many hidden attributes?

I'm gonna start playing origi at inverted wing back

Despite the Liverpool scarf in the background, I have now subscribed to DrBenjy FM too. I love this videos!

cheers for the help guys, olarte has his new fight year deal and imma train him out on the right a little more. Reyes has said he wants to move to RM so the bank will be looking lush 😍

Finishing seems to be the most fake stat of them all. I've got a guy with 9 finishing who is a Haaland level goalscorer in the box. I think the dude actually has 8 composure aswell..... Had to put him in due to injuries and he's never left the team! Dunno how this stuff works 🤣 If they play well, stats don't matter.

Obviously higher star is better, but after that comes down to fit (attributes, footedness, best position), scouted attributes (consistency, big game player, injury proneness), and whether you trust your scouts or not.

You two work so well together on videos

Thanks for taking a look at my selection(the arezo vs antunes as AF) hit the nail on the head where I was struggling to weigh up arezo being more well rounded vs Antunes having targeted stats so high. Actually managed to scrape through as league winners that season with those two alternating as back ups to Daka. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts

Nice one Zee, for me First decision I'd choose Vlasic for the age have a detrimental effect on speed which is quite important for the role otherwise Origi would win. In the second decision i learnt that a good player can perform worse than if he is not natural in the position , some hidden attributes like consistency or he has a PPM that doesnt go with the role for example if Jimenez has run down the center/cuts inside PPM he will perform worse as a winger. also, two footed players can shine better in some roles than a single footed players. Third choice I'd go with Rudolf for the leadership, having a player with a good leadership in every line appears to have a good effect on the other players performance and composure/mood during the match, i notice less likely complacent/apprehensive swings when i have a good leaders.

Wait, so Zealand is a ''Florida Man" ? This makes so much sense! :D

I had two goalkeepers in my Champions League-winning team that I couldn't decide between, so I kept rotating them. When I retired my replacement (Ole-Gunnar!!!) Sold my first choice, bought a new keeper for £60 million, made my second choice the third choice behind a 19 year-old that spent the previous season on loan at Anderlecht... What?!

Zeeland does an English accent during his live stream commentary.

I just want to know how someone is so far deep into a Man Utd save 🥶

2 weeks after DocB jokes on stream about doing a video with Zealand to push himself over 100k without doing extra content and here we are

8:10 - I missed my player review by 1 spot!! I was the next one down aarrrrggghhhhhh

99.1k subs for Ben... Nearly there boys!

Olarte has 20 vision. And he is a set pieces threat.

I don't see a certain link in the description for this one off special video.

can zealand and benjy just get married and start a couples FM/Vlog channel. It's all we want and need after such a hard year.

I wounder How it would be Shaw vs Alex Telles

Zealand I am having issues with the NEWGAN manager. It doesn't load after closing it the first time. Tried downloading it again and following your instructions on the video but again it doesn't open. Please help me as I would really like to use your facepack. Thanks

I feel like some of these submissions are just humble brags of people wanting to show off their elite players. Some of these players are so world class that it's not like you're going to suffer for playing one or the other.

Take account of form too

"quite similar ages'. Ones 23 and ones 28?

Where is the face pack link!?!?!

I need some player like that Andrés Olarte, he is an assist master

I think I'd pick Strauss, especially if he hasn't hit his full potential

Lmao Nikola Vlasic signed for West Ham irl

Does anyone play FM with a low league team? all the submissions were multi million pound players for high level teams zzzzzzzz

An off topic question for you Mr. Zealand. I fully understand if you ignore this post. You might have better things to do with your time. On to my question: Could you, either here directly, and/or in a future video, give some guidance regarding when and how you should tweak/change your tactics? And related to this, when you should and shouldn't listen to advice from the assistant manager? For example his pre match tactical advice. I know that you have made a couple of videos in the past that partially touch on this, I have watched them several times. But I would love it with some more in depth coverage. Specific example and the reason I bring up these questions: I currently struggle in my Sunderland save (early in season one, November or so). I never tweak my tactics and I seldomly switch tactics for more than 1-2 matches, the latter just to try and halt a bad run. I never listen to advice from my assistant manager. I never use match analysis etc. I basically enjoy playing the game like that. I don't like spending time on tactics. I prefer to hand most things over to the staff and play a quick game. And besides, I don't want to do too well, I don't want the game to be too easy. So I deliberately restrict myself in order to have realistic results or mildly overachieving at most. However, I am on a bad run in my save. Perhaps 10 points from the last 8-9 games or so. Very bad for a promotion chasing side. Interestingly there seems to be a pattern. In the match analysis section I see that it is adviced to "work ball into the box" (dark red negative regarding this). I almost never score from long shots, and the side has a lot of wayward longshots in most matches. That might be the prime example regarding that I should possibly listen to the assistant manager who for months have been telling me to work the ball into the box. That, however, brings up a dilemma. When to listen to the ass man, and when not to? As mentioned, I prefer to tweak as little as possible. Partially to play quickly and save time, partially in order to not be too succesfull. But this current save is too much the opposite, I have obviously hit a brick wall due to rigid tactical tactics. And it made me contemplate if I should sort of implement a couple of basic rules as to when to make an exception and tweak my tactics, by picking up certain advice from the ass man, or by looking at match analysis (last 5 matches) or whatever. My main tactics is a 4-2-3-1 Gegenpress by the way. The defauld AI type, chosen due to recommendation from the ass man. Thanks a lot for an all round great channel by the way. Pardon if my English is bad, I am a Danish/Norwegian citizen. Best regards, Dan

Hahah sorry for adli and sandry in English! 😂 I will order it in the Original „English“ version next time then you just can compare it 😂✌️

My assistant is always bringing on substitutions and switching tactics during games. How can i stop this?

I think the guy was picking between antunes and arezo. Probably because arezo was his former second and antunes just came in and is valued at 62 million at 19 whiles arezo was valued at just 30.5 million at 21

How does that Bartusiak guy have 4 jumping reach at 5'10"... Also back to back players of the same nationality competing for the same position at the same club lol (first the Mexican IFs at Bayern and then the German midfielders at United)

Arezo : 10yrs more than a goal per game

No face pack link?

As a german speaking person I think its hilerious you just give up on the german attributes. I remember so many Fm befor they where translated, which I had to translate every single attribute. And they tend to have redicolous spesific names lamo

Hello

Guys can anyone fill me in on why z Is using TWD in his second to last stream and trolling about it

The guy sign Olarte do indeed a real zealand fan! Coz Olarte is from COLUMBIAAAAAAAA NEVA EVA SKIP COLUMBIAAAAA

Are these even real players? I can’t even find them on Google

I have a question for you all from my French league save. Would you pick the 31 yo captain with good leadership and amazing overall rating but with 2 stars Or the new brazilian wonderkid with 20 years old, 4,5 stars amazing stats but very poor overall rating?

feel like benjy just doesnt like doing these videos

I'm not sure how relevant numbers are in previous or other clubs. I've sold mediocre but somehow highly valued 22 yrs old striker to Atleti for 100M few seasons ago. The guy is 188cml and has below 13 finishing, pace, and dribbling with decent mentality and great off-the-ball movement; not atrocious but no way worth 100M I thought. Predictably, he never plays well against my defenders who are all champions league quality, but mysteriously, he's been managing to bag more than 25 goals per season with two digits assists for 6 years in a row now. I'm not convinced if those simulated matches/numbers are as credible as the ones you actually play.

la crocks

Who plays Man Utd for 20 seasons on FM?! :|

Why not just get edditor and look at them, i mean just to check if you play without it.....Vlašić is just better by marks.....

first.

You are so cringe you double back, bend space and time, and become cool again.
