@@21cabbage93 I had an Ibiza one where I was signing a mixture of players 28+ and 21 and below, and Maguire and Grealish made it. They fitted the philosophy so well 😂 grealish was a goated skipper

[@l.g.3832]

These are my rules for a satisfyin career: -Always play a lower division team and make it ascend. -Always consider 2 players for each role + 1 bonus keeper, 1 bonus midfielder and 1 bonus striker and nothing more, we're a small club, no wages waste. -Sell a player whenever he can makes the club big bucks, doesn't matter how much affection i have for him, i'm not the boss, i'm only the manager and modern football is cruel... -...except for "a people's hero", i always chose a 16yo local kid from the youth accademy to be "my Totti", the flag of the team, gotta keep him at any cost. I need ONLY 1 paladin and i'm happy with my fairy tale. -Never fully rebuild in 1-2 transfer windows, that's BS. -Never rebuild the team or a tactic chunk of it altogether each year (your defence sucks? Your wingers too? Your striker can't strike? Boo uuuh, your fault. Not the club's fault, the president paid for those players already, now it's up to you!) -Buy max 1-2 players per SUMMER session, maybe, MAYBE, 1 more in January if i have a brutally injured player or i found an extrimely convienient free agent with a realistic not op overall. -Never go fully Y.A. or zero Y.A., consider to have like 30/35yo veterans here and there, usually cheaper, and... -...eventually they are the only players allowed to have a slighly more higher overall values than the division they got to play into. Aaaah pensioneers... -Don't try to win everything soon, like the FA CUP final against Liverpool/City/Chelsea/Arsenal and teams like those when you are roleplayin a cornwall small club from English League 2, cmon man -Use the "restart the match" option only if the script REALLY ruined a match, otherwise DON'T EVER DARE. Accept the fate. It's ok to lose matches. -Don't simulate more than 15% of the total matches each season. LIVE THE LIFE MAN! FEEL IT! -Let the OCD kicks: set the right kit numbers in a realistic way, edit your 5* skill moves player so he has fancy pink boots and high socks, put matching color on your goalkeeper between gloves and boots, make your youth kids have the same boots brand of the team kit brand (they are teens, they don't have personal sponsors yet!) and details like those things...

[@flightrisk23]

One of the best tips I've taken from you in my CM saves was to spread out my scouts for the Youth Academy. In my 15 year English save I slowly started pushing out into Europe with my scouts over several years, before putting a scout in Croatia and got two players with the last name Soldo and they were similar looking. Ended up becoming a solid pair in my 4-3-3 and became like joint legends.

[@illionore]

Oh! That's pretty much like what I experience, too. I just made a comment here as well, with LOTS of duplicate last names in my club... I will probably (have to) scout neighbouring countries more... but at the same time I want to keep at least 50+ percent of my club having players from my club's home country, otherwise it's not really a "national club" anymore, but rather an "international squad", which doesn't feel as right... Would have also be really nice if the 'edit a player' would allow us to edit the names. I don't know why EA still doesn't allow that in career mode.

[@reeceallen583]

I had a £300,000,000 release clause on one of my players and Bayern Munich paid it, just felt like sharing that hear

[@cooldownboi3890]

Barca really needs this right now

[@jasonpotts3662]

Always put strict transfers on. You can also go through some of the teams before starting career mode and transfer their main stars to free agents, and then back again. For example, I didn’t do this first time, and Kane Wen to Bayern in the first window and so did a bunch of other players. This then stops them moving as the game thinks they are recent signings and they tend to stay at their clubs longer. Also try to sign players from the same country as your team as it creates amazing chemistry.

[@Skyzezz]

Don’t care, already signed Messi, Mo salah, neymar Jr, Sliva and Mbappe to Man United

[@Bluhme2000]

Two of my favourite rules you haven't mentioned are: 1. Don't use the youth academy at all, rather scout for low rated talents and try to loan them. Especially after your first season try to scout fresh talents(in your skill bracket) 2. Always sell players when you are getting offers from a financial better club, or immediately renew the contract with the player in question extensively increasing their pay (50%. Or more) Great content, keep it up! :)

[@beezergutler5488]

One thing that does suck is the manager tasks. It tells you to sign 3 under 20 players or a couple of crucial players etc. if you don’t do it you can get sacked. It penalises players for keeping it realistic

[@TheBluePhenom]

My tactic has always been to start with the lowest rated club in the country and build up the academy, and then during the first transfer window call up the academy ready prospects and either loan out or play them in positions where there's a veteran in an expiring contract. I also tend to look towards specific countries for scouting based on need (I go to Argentina for wingers, Netherlands for defender, etc.), but I like the thought about just leaving it to a more localized approach.

[@frxserrr5610]

The one thing I hate about FIFA and the player development is how increasing certain stats also increases weak foot/skill moves. I kind of wish that was a separate option to train as it usually means you have many players in your squad with 5* SM/WF just because you wish to increase them in areas in which suits them. I'm aware this doesn't really affect defenders/midfielders as much as attackers but wanting to train a midfielder as a playmaker often leads to 5*WF. I just don't like how it kills the realism with it being so abundant within your squads.

[@frankleben5451]

My issue is, I take over lower level teams and build them into powerhouses. I love playing in the champions league. But in building a team with the quality to make it, my squad usually gets to the point of being dominant and I get bored when I don’t lose any matches. Rinse and repeat.

[@jackninetynine5036]

One thing that’s been good in my west brom career mode is I used my budget as if it was at £0. This is because we have no money in real life & the 15m budget we have in the game is unrealistic. I had to sell 3 first team players to rebuild the team with up & coming unknown players from lesser leagues. Makes it much more challenging & fun

[@SkullSnax]

My main rules for career mode are: Follow the squad rules of the league you're in (e.g. Premiership: 25 players in squad - not including under 21s, and 7 homegrown players in that 25) Don't sign players who will break your wage structure (no signings that are on more than your highest earner) A wage cap of £100k/week until you're a champions league challenging team No more than 3 first team signings per Summer, and no more than 2 total signings per Winter window 30+ year old players can only be offered 1 year extensions You can only negotiate new contracts with players in the last 2 years of their contracts If a player asks for a release clause you have to accept If you put a player up for loan and receive Loan with Buy option, you have to accept Don't sign players from competing teams domestically, or top clubs internationally (unless they are squad players/rejects in those teams.

[@jacksmith-ez6kj]

Nice! I could see myself following these rules

[@Lovecars1218]

I always try to apply the same sort of strategy to the club I’m managing as in real life. Like you’ll not sign a 90 rated Super star from the free player market to your averaged midfield club from Germany. Always try to sign players that standing fits the club your managing and when a bigger club wants to buy your star player, you have to sell him. That’s how the market work. With that play style I am having a lot of fun playing long term careers.

[@RealAJT]

Or signing Portuguese players for the mighty wolves 🖤🧡🐺

[@jasongarcia5492]

One thing that I do when using a team where the loan player is my key player. I'd just buy replacements for whoever was on loan. As well as making realistic sales. Like one I'm doing with Hamburg where Real Madrid for some reason wanted my 18 year old 66 rated RB. Obviously no one would want to deny that

[@james.osmond1007]

Im doing a dortmund reserve team and my end goal will be to beat the A team, also as its a reserve team i am only signing players under 23 as in real life younger players would play in the reserve team and they would eventually transfer to the main team. I think its a semi realistic save but it is very fun and difficult at the same time

[@mrvee5395]

On transfers my house rule uses club star ratings (accessible through Import Team Sheet): any club rated a star or more than mine, I have to sell for a realistic offer. So if I'm a one star team, two star teams and above. Essentially what that means is once the club is 4.5 stars, I can tell everyone else to go pound sand if I want. I'll still sell off my backups though as it would be fair to them.

[@guffy4042]

I also like turning off the transfer window until January so you have to play with either ur youth academy or main squad

[@illionore]

I do many of these tips now since starting FIFA 23. I've probably been focusing on scouting my own country's club too much... because now I have... 3 players with the last name Janssen 2 players with the last name Peters 2 players with the last name Garcia 2 players with the last name Kramer And that with only having currently 24 players in my squad. Oh, and my Youth Academy also has ANOTHER Kramer, as well as 2 players with a duplicate name I already have too. I wish they showed the FIRST NAME letter on the pitch layout and accompanying 'quick info card'... because their first names are typically different... now it's a bit hard to see which Janssen is which (aside from potentially having a different primary stat, or I have to memorize what the face looks like or their OVR is...) Would seem like a small but useful addition. Oh well, I guess I have to go rotate scouting in neighbouring countries more and rotate that... but (also because of it being somewhat more realistic) I really like to have a good amount of my players originating from my club's home country, rather than becoming a 'mostly foreigners squad' if that makes sense. It doesn't really make it a 'national club' that way, does it? ;)

[@CompaSystem]

Love all your vids mate, this one's class as usual.

[@RuiLisboa213]

For the free transfer problem: If you want to sign Lingard and he worths 10M, you can give him the salary that you sees fit, multiplies that for 52 (weeks in a year) and the rest you give him as a add-on If you offers a 50k salary = 2.6M+7.4M in add-ons. (You could spread that in bonus also)

It's worth to say that having a career of club in LaLiga have many options to keep it realistic 1. Max 25 players in the first team. 2. Buyout clause is required on every player. 3. Maximum of 5 non EU players (players who have eu passports, but thier nationality is not on the EU doesnt count to that five) 4. Maximum of 3 non EU players in the starting lineup for league or cup game. 5. Can't ''register'' youngster into first team (in career that just means giving him number from 1 to 25) till the transfer window is open. 6. Won't talk about the salary cap cuz that would just kill the career tbf, thats most bullshit thing in Spain right now. Also worth to mention is Athletic Bilbao, thier transfer politic is very strict. They sign only players from Basque region which is in Spain and France (Maybe Andorra tho, but im not sure about that)

[@Geografifa]

yeah spot on about everything here! the basque policy is worldwide, so players with a basque parent (or players who move to the basque region as an under 16) can be born anywhere and play for the club!

I do some interesting things like for when I’m in England I don’t sign free agents or transfers that’s nations aren’t in the top 50 national teams to make it more realistic from a work permit perspective if I’m in Germany I also will scout United States since there’s a lot of Americans that are from Germany and the German leagues. I also don’t reject bids from top clubs and block offers from top clubs or from clubs in the league above for my best players. I also only upgrade a part of my starting 11 like in my one save I upgraded defense first then the midfield the following season and following that season I work on the forwards after that I only upgrade 1 position in the starting usually the weakest player. I also only call up 3-4 youth players per year after the first 2 season to keep it more realistic at first I bring up all my youth players because I do more youth academy and regen stuff

Another thing - let some players contracts expire so you dont earn money for everyone , for example dont renew the contract of a 36 year old just tom sell him for 800,000. This will keep some realism in your save

[@Jur1_00]

Isn’t that the job of the developers? I’m more of a football manager player and recently started playing fifa, although football manager has its problems there are things it does very well. For example if you sign a 36 year old and give him too much money no one will buy that player off you because of the contract. The player might not even want to renew his contract for whatever reason so you have no choice.
