Always Sign the Right Player in FM21
Рет қаралды 211,153
Күн бұрынTransfers and scouting are key facets of Football Manager success. So, I sat down to tackle a tough topic to talk about in FM, how to always sign the right player in every circumstance. This is about looking at football manager 2021 and breaking down the decision-making process that you should go through before adding or getting rid of a player. Normally a tutorial or a guide for FM is much more about tangible stuff, like ‘sign these people’ or ‘look at this fun tip’ but we have really gone for something that could help even more. This will, though, help bring your game on FM21 to a really top level.
If you like videos like this, do let me know! Because despite the amount of time it took to try to get these ideas put into a guide format, I think this sort of dark matter in Football Manager is the sort of thing that can make the game a lot more enjoyable for people. Also, who doesn’t love landing that great wonderkid or sneaky transfer swoop that surprises everyone else your fm save and takes the league by storm. I do like that feeling, very much. See you all on stream!
Much Love,
FM Senpai

Also, I must compliment you on your presentation of the game mechanics. I've been playing FM since Championship Manager 4, and it is so easy to get stuck in the good old days, keep doing things how they used to be done and not keeping up to date. But your videos and insights are really helpful and help me prevent this from happening and unlike some of the other FM content creators, you don't make me feel like being back at school while listening to you. And I also love the fact that you seem to remember (just my assumption but it looks like that) that after all it is just a game with it's flaws and sometimes blind luck negates all the hard work we players put into fielding the strongest side possible - you know, the keyboard-shattering moments. Keep up the good work.

I'd always prefer to buy or sign a player permanently over a loan player. The problem with loan players is, they may become your star for one season, you build your whole team and tactic around him, and suddenly he's just gone, and you earn nothing on the performances he put in. If I sign a loan player, I always make sure to get a buy-out clause or that his contract expires the following year, so I can free-transfer sign him, if he performs well. Already there, Souichi has an advantage for me.

FM at the end of the day is a spreadsheet simulator and this is just another factor that lowers some of the player's attributes. But with so many variables on hand, you might have someone with a great personality, very determined, very consistent who's on a good form and that might make up for this trait. But these are exceptions which are rare. In general you don't want players with this personality trait because it's another factor that works against you and it's quite hard to manage.

It mainly affects his technical ability. A striker that is mostly pace with low technical ability will still be fairly consistent, especially in lower levels regardless of his consistency attribute. If the guy creates 10 chances with physicals but only ever hits the target 3 times per game he can't really drop off much. A striker that you rely on to pass and create chances for others, or that gets 5 chances by dribbling and hits the target 4 times would see a huge difference in performance if he had low consistency on a regular basis. Adaptability affects things like playing in the rain, playing on bad pitches etc as well. Poor technique vs. good technique means that a player with 15 tackling will win the ball a lot but rarely control it after and give away a lot more fouls (and penalties.) Højbjerg has great technical rating in FM because he's so good at taking the ball cleanly, but Man City's Kyle Walker has relatively poor technical rating and lower consistency because he's always got a clumsy challenge him. Every attribute is important but no single attribute can carry a player and some can completely cripple a player. 100% agree with Zealands big match one as an example, it took me nearly 10 years once to dump my keeper because I kept losing big finals despite running away with the league (didn't have the info that he was bad in big matches on my club reports) finally rage sold him and bought a different keeper and coasted the champions league etc. My old Keeper had the dreads big matches on his report as soon as I sold him.

I think a lot of the report pros/cons should be taken with a pinch of salt. Some of my best performing and most reliable players have been 'inconsistent'. Equally I have a few players who have green consistency yet they're so inconsistent for me. It's also possible to coach/mentor the bad stuff out of them. I don't sign players with those negatives if I can avoid it but sometimes they appear afterwards and I just deal with it if I believe in the player enough. I might rather have a 4* player who is inconsistent than a 3* who is consistent because the 4* one has a higher ceiling if you can coach them well enough. I have multiple players in my save who developed 'dislikes big matches' in a short space of time. Like players who I had won multiple leagues with suddenly developed a fear of big games. I think it was when I went through a rough period and got lost a few big games in a row in a short space of time. Even though I've won trophies since then, it's not gone away. I don't find it that accurate though. I think there's a lot of confirmation bias to it.

I hate star ratings. They can change in a matter of weeks with form etc. I rarely if ever use them, other than for a very basic screening of players. My last save on fm20 before ditching to start playing 21, was Newcastle. After finishing 14th in the first season, I finished 3rd in the second using statistical analysis for Recruitment. We went from having the 3rd worst defense to second best after using stats to recruit a GK and CB. Also Allain Saint Maximin is an absolute beast and potentially the best player on that game when coached and developed properly. In season 2 he was 3rd in PL goalscorers with 19, 25 in all comps and 16 assists. He was rated 5 stars by my coaches, after starting the game on 2.5 (hence why I hate star ratings) and was subject to 60 million + bids from about 6 top European clubs.

Yo Zealand, you should think about doing a video for people managing high profile teams with high profile players about how "meta" tactics aren't that helpful and how too many instructions can be poison. I've spoken to a few people who've sabotaged successful runs by switching to "meta" tactics because they end up suffocating elite level players with too many instructions. Example, when you have elite defenders sometimes it's best to let them decide when to stay on feet and when to get stuck in. No instruction for counter attacks is great for elite midfielders who can choose when it's appropriate to slow down the play and when it's appropriate to send a forward on a run. I think some folks would benefit from you explaining that certain instructions involving passage of play, crossing type and earliness, and whether or not to be more expressive are more helpful/useful to elite squads than other instructions which sometimes only serve to make world class players more one dimensional. Also roles; depending on the fullbacks you have in your team 'complete wingback' might be more meta than 'inverted wingback', same with the attacking wide players, you might do better with 'inside forwards' than 'wingers' especially if you're managing a team like Liverpool. I'd tell them myself, but they'd rather listen to you.

Hmmm ... Perhaps i have not played LLM for a looong time, but basically a 4.5*/5* player is going to be GOOD, esp if one takes the time to set up the staff (coaching/scouting) right. Likely they scout and recommend based on your formation, etc too. Also, personal experience is that Uncomfortable-in-big-matches and Fairly Inconsistent and low Adaptability is also fine, as long as the player is a really really good (read - 4*/5*) one. What i'd used instead (since the CM days) are the avg ratings, esp from the same level-type of leagues. A player with a high avg ratings should have those good Big Match/Consistent/Adaptable attributes anyway, no? 😁
