10 Things to Know When Starting FM

Needed this video. Coming into my first FM game I was overwhelmed, and had no idea what to do. Your videos helped a lot Z. Cheers 👍

[@fabsoN42]

try to delegate responsabilities to ur staff members. for example i delegate everything exept for signing players und making contracts for the second team and youth team. and dont get too attached to ur star players. when ur a rising club, dont be afraid to sell star players for good money. what is a star player for u will change rapidly, if u start with a decent club in second or third devision what is a star player now will be a rotation player when u get promoted. you'll be fine

[@SimersFM]

Signing players and setting appropriate playing time expectations is super important and I think is where a lot of players get tripped up. They will over promise playing time simply to sign someone.. which can backfire and cause poor club atmosphere once the player becomes upset. Also since the player becomes upset they won’t play nor train as well. TLDR Managing playing time is important to keep a good atmosphere.

[@jiza4394]

agree, also with that comes the expected wage too, a player expecting to be a regular starter will simply be on more money than a squad or a fringe player, a structure has to be maintained here not just for financials but the squad happiness, I can easily keep a premier league squad of 25 player completely happy all season long simply by following the advice you give here. Great tip.

[@TomVerhaegen]

Agree, but then every player I want to sign wants to be star player status. So I give them regular starter or squad player and add the promise that the season after or 2 seasons after they will be star player. Their contract runs out before that time so I never have to deal with it and they all accept that :D

[@jiza4394]

@@TomVerhaegen ALL OF THIS^^^ great tip. This is really handy for replacing star players in your current first team that are aging as well, it gives you a good opportunity to phase the new player in while trying to move the aging player on.

[@TomVerhaegen]

@@jiza4394 It also gives me the chance to evaluate them on merit. Player comes in as a star player you pay him as a star player but then he does not provide the star player status on the field, you demote him to important or regular and he becomes mad. Now I got all regulars and squad players. The quality will be shown after a while I can promote them if they deserve it. But if they do not deliver no harm done run out his contract and bye bye. They got upgraded and specially if they reach above 7 average I give them a contract for the next season mostly on better terms. They are beneath the 7 mark it depends if I can use him in depth or not to prolong his contract and even can convince them to sign another deal on cheaper terms. What I also do is for young players under the age of 21 give a contract with their status for the next 3 or 4 years so the player knows we have a plan with him for the future, sometimes that makes him choose us instead of other teams who might even pay him more.

[@nunomonteirosoares6806]

Loved the "Benfica coach" reference there 🤣🤣

[@MarquisdeSuave]

First things first, get the best staff your team can afford for the tactic you are using. Sure you can grab that awesome 4 star coach with a nice pedigree and nice coaching attributes but if theyre used to coaching a 5-3-2 in a more defensive style it will take them some time to adjust to that 4231 gagenpress you want your team to utilize.

[@Eagles2020]

If coaches have good adaptability don’t they adapt to your tactics after awhile? I know head of development does do that

[@Beyondultragaming]

@@Eagles2020 thats true as well

[@MarquisdeSuave]

@@Eagles2020 good question. My short answer is yes. My long answer is: it depends on a LOT of things. Coaches and executives have a fairly large suite of hidden attributes outside of their professionalism, pressure, etc. While a coach can and will adapt eventually it really depends on where theyre starting at. If a coach is used to coaching a Park the Bus style of play then it will take them a lot longer for their hidden coaching stats to pick up your coaching style if youre playing a Tiki-Taka or Gagenpress. Even with a 20 adaptability cant make that jump in under half a season. You also have to factor in things like Language. A coach having to learn a language while coaching in a new nation will also add a factor of time for them to adapt to your tactics as well. So yes, a coach with a 20 adaptation will learn your tactics quicker than a coach with say a 12 if theyre both coming from a similar background but a coach with a 20 adaptation will take longer to assimilate to your tactic if he isnt familiar with the nation, doesnt speak the language, and coached a vastly different tactic then what you are using. I know,.thats a lot to take in and in a large enough coaching staff it doesnt really matter as other coaches will pick up the slack but its still a pretty important factor you should think about when youre signing a coach.

[@Deacon4105]

Been playing this game for 5 years and I still watch these type of videos 😂

[@nj0377]

Also good to understand that a player’s attributes are based on ‘on their day’ performance. An amazing player who is inconsistent may only live up to his attributes once every 3 or 4 games, whilst managing a team in sunny Spain may result in you losing to a Russian due to the weather may result in your players not coming out of the changing rooms and losing.

[@Eibarwoman]

Even amongst the Spanish teams, what side of the Cantabrian Range influences if they'll handle a rainy night in Stoke. But those guys at Real Sociedad might not fare reliably well in an early season game in Sevilla, where it's hot and dry to San Sebastian/Donostia's damp and mild.

There is no defending attribute in Fifa. "Defending" is calculated out of like 5 attributes, with different weighting to certain attributes.

[@feketicsszilard3510]

You are right. Actually its 4, because the fifth is heading accuracy which i dont really understand why is a defending attribute. But anyway. its more defending attributes then FM has.

[@tomfrumtarn]

I think he's mixing up attributes with FUT cards. Yes there is a 'defending' attribute on a FUT card but like you've said, there are 5 or so attributes that actually make up that value. That said I'm not entirely convinced that the attributes and FUT card ratings correlate all that much.

One small question though: i downloaded your skin, but when I click at the overview of any of my own players, it does not show the value of that player ( like it does in the video ). Instead, it's kinda buggy and says that the player still needs to be scouted. Do you have an idea, why that happens ? Overviews of players of other teams are all displayed perfectly. I am playing on German language and therefore with Euros as currency, but I don't think that it affects the display, right ? Greetings from Germany; keep up the good work!

Still curious what the impact of upgrading your facilities would be. I mean I am (finally) able to upgrade my training facilities from Poor. Will i see the impact on the training and the players or is it more for better players to come to the club?

[@Taeerom]

The impact of the training is better, so you'll see younger players developing faster and older players keep their quality for longer. It will also slightly improve your chances of signing better players, as the quality facilities will be one possible reason for a player to either choose a different club or demand higher wages. It's not as important as quality (ie high reputation) teammates, club reputation, league reputation or the attractiveness of your country. The main benefit is that you can develop your youngsters to reach their potential easier. There's no point in signing wonderkids, if you don't have the training setup (facilities+staff) to help them reach their potential.

[@SimersFM]

FM is full of small things that combined make a large impact. Your not going to see a noticeable difference by Improving facilities by 1 upgrade, but do this a number of times plus having higher potential players and player growth will increase.

Stars are a good indication in who you should be looking closer at. Same with the scouting rating, use these tools to sort through your scouted players and then add select ones to a shortlist. From your shortlist you can get second opinions from better scouts if needed or just keep up with a player. You can use the keep scout reports up to date on shortlist players which I would recommend doing if some of the reports are getting outdated

Any tips on defending set piece? Played FM since 14 and still have no clue

[@Taeerom]

My cookie cutter strat is the three best aerial duelists (typically 3 central defenders or 2 central defenders and a striker) as zonaly marking the 5yard box. Then I have the 2 best defensive players aside from that (typically two fullbacks/wingbacks) on each post. Next, I set the best aerial duelist among the remaining players as "mark tall player", the best remaining offensive player (typically a short striker, winger with good finishing/composure or amc) as "remain forward", then one player that is both fast and with good passing as "lurk outside" to pick up stray balls and counter. The last two players are "mark player". It's based on how Klopp (used to?) defend corners, and it has served me very well for 3 games now. I would even say it is better now, than in fm19, when I first used it. The idea is to get the ball away from any area where there is a high xG if they manage to finish, and then make long shots difficult because there are a lot of players right in front of the goal. I typically favour defenders with high jumping reach, and I almost always have a striker with at least some aerial prowess and strength. Compared to Zealand, the general shape is with one less zonaly marking in front of the area, and I have one player remaining forward. I've heard you only need one player marking the post. But I don't know which one, and both me and Zealand plays with a marker at each post.

I mean I do scouting myself with trials I do not use scouts I only have a backroom staff containing 2 persons (me and my assistant manager) I went from a budget of 600£ to now a budget of almost 4.000£ but still have a scouting budget of 35.000£ which I do not use. I do not need it in my wage bill in which I still have 8K of wriggle room and I do not spent anything on transfer fees because I only sign free agents and loan players without having to pay them any wages. So It would benefit the club to place the scouting budget in to the overall balance of the club. Is this possible?

I heard that if you scroll your transfer budget to your payroll, it will 100% carry over next window, then you can just scroll it back.

im sorry but kante does not play that position. Kante plays as a CM next to jorghino who is the dmg and kante is a box to box player, if you actually watch like 1 chelsea game youll see, even if jorghino doesnt play kovacic will be the dm and kante is still a box to box cm, although he played dm for leicester like 5 yeears ago
