How I Build Super Teams On Football Manager

[@aidenf.4900]

Adopting a big team mentality is always a weird change. Honestly, I don't think it's that tough to get over spending £150m on a star player. The real mental block is learning to spend £50m+ on a squad player or a back-up just because they fill out your team, especially when that 40 goal a season superstar striker you have only cost you £15m three or four seasons ago. It took me a while to learn that a world class player willing to sit on the bench is worth their weight in gold.

[@m77x]

Well said

[@BigManJay69]

Yep, I'm a squad rotation manager, and managing player time and happiness is the big challenge indeed. LOVE those super subs who don't complain

[@yungclimba]

From my experience almost anyone can be pegged down to squad player just by changing their playing time even if they wouldn't accept a contract like that

[@viniciusrestelli1110]

My left back cost roughly €104M to convince Bayern to sell.He's been by far the best wing back in the world for over 10 seasons. If the guy is world-class and helps you to take the next step, it's always worth it

[@BawdyBadger]

I agree. Got Wigan up to the Prem. After staying up for a year I was rolling in money. I bought a 22-year-old English striker regen that had amazing stats. He was just about to start being regularly called up for England. Spent £70m on him, and I was anxious about it all season. I think it was because my record signing before that was about £24m for a winger. After big spending, I go back to buying young players and loan farming them to develop them for the main team.

[@thomasjay6869]

My system is pretty straightforward. For every single position I have 1st team - TOP player 2nd choice - TOP / strong player 3rd choice - wonderkid When I take over a new club my focus is on making sure my entire 11 has top players and I only sign players max age 25, loaning for depth where needed for 2nd and 3rd choices. When I’m happy with my 11 I’ll bring in quality in my 2nd choice slot and then bring in wonderkids once I’m all set there. By the time my 1st choice hits his 30s and I’m looking at cashing in on them my wonderkid is usually ready to take over or even my second choice may be good enough. I sell players as they leave their prime: GK - 34 Defenders - 31 Mid - 31 ST - 30 Which ensures I’m getting a good payout for my stars and keeping things fresh

[@ibz_pk7931]

for me defender higher n my dm

[@thecomeupnbaprospects6021]

But if I don't play the wonderkids they don't become world beaters. They usually stagnate

[@mickypain2959]

My favorite trick for signing players a bit out of my reputation range: Find a player with 1-2 years left on their contract and attempt to loan them. Praise, support, cuddle the player while he’s on loan with you. With a bit of luck, I can become a favored person, and the second he reaches 6 months left, try to sign him for free. Got plenty of players over the years that would otherwise have never signed for me.

[@renatoxsferes1162]

Lol this is strat is devious 😂😂, I love to do it in a save

[@TheY0shi08]

On my main save this year, I learned a lot to have that "everyone is sellable for the right price" mentality. I found two Argentinian superstars early in their career and I thought they'd be here forever, especially because I was playing in Spain and one of them was Italian 2nd nationality. Two years later both were gone to the prem for over 200€M. Each. It was hard for me to actually do it because I thought they were going to win me everything this year but after looking at potential replacements I saw that I could replace both for less that what one of them would bring me, and actually built a team full of players of that caliber in almost all my positions, winning everything 2 years in a row.

[@hoodie5004]

Which team are you managing in Spain ? I’m thinking if managing in Spain and was looking at Real Betis 🧐

[@BigManJay69]

And now you're bored

[@TheY0shi08]

​@@hoodie5004 I was managing Sabadell, one of the closest towns that have a playable team to the one I lived in for the longest time in my life before recently moving out, Rubí. Started in Primera RFEF, managed back-to-back promotions after a lot of luck and a Deportivo bottlejob of epic proportions then took a few years to settle in LaLiga and get into Europe, but once the money started rolling in and the wonderkids were found I started to compete for everything, eventually winning domestic double into a quadruple in my final 2 seasons.

[@Archie503]

Love that you show Camavinga as a utility player.Dude's probably only 19/20 and the sky could still be the ceiling for him in centre mid.

[@Flash4ML]

He's probably the most high level utility player out there, one of the most valuable assets as a super team. Signed him off a 173m release clause in my Arsenal save because he could easily cover all my midfield positions without a drop in quality. Squad rotation becomes a big thing, at a certain point in that save my second 11 could beat every Premiership team, because I was bringing in players like Camavinga to bridge that gap and make sure we were still at full strength even with a starter out

[@phelanmuller5223]

Glad you made this video. I feel like a lot of people (myself included sometimes) get caught in the wonderkid churn and need to transition from having a team with future value to one that is good right now.

[@ZoeDS]

I started a Crystal Palace save in February and it’s the first long term save I’ve done in FM24. I’m now half way through my 3rd season and we’ve won the FA Cup, Carabao cup and snuck into the UCL consistently. My first signing was Marcos Leonardo for just under £30m which we could just about afford after selling some players. I’ve managed to keep Eze and Olise although they might both be sold soon but mainly because we are only ‘okay’ financially and I honestly think we can grow better as a squad without them . Because of our low reputation I’ve been able to sign a lot of high potential young players for reasonable prices, like Roony Bardji, Solet, Omaridion.We’ve also been using the loan market, to get quality first team players from huge clubs that are transfer listed most notably Carlos Soler from PSG and Wijndal from Ajax. We just started going into the FT market, with Kyle Walker peters signed and Doue and Pablo Torre on the list for next season. The best signing we’ve made so far has been an unhappy Pafundi for less than £20m. He is unreal. I kinda recognised the name from some rebuilds I’ve watched but I never knew how good he was and I don’t pay attention to wonderkids so I had no idea. I’m looking forward to continuing at Palace. We are currently first in the league and looking for that title . Love this vid as it’s so inspiring to think about what we can achieve. They sky is the limits

[@afasia2341]

I totally agree that it's important to know when to "switch" from ammassing wonderkids to make a profit to just buying superstars to improve your starting lineup. I managed to win UCL with AS Roma many times and the first few seasons are all about selling the extra players and getting cheap wonderkids, free transfers or bargains. Then when you get to the level of the big clubs you just need to get the new superstars that pop up in lesser teams ASAP even if they cost a lot of money... And not be scared of selling your starters when an amazing offer comes. I remember selling El-Shaarawy for like 100M to PSG after a good season, he was valued like 20 the next one.

[@thebiglebrowski3695]

I actually just did the whole "Move to a fallen giant" thing. I was managing in Portugal and doing extremely well, I had the league and Champions League on lock and I had a loan farm of like 50 of the best youth players. I saw my beloved Manchester United had just finished 17th, barely a handful of points above relegation, after 10 years of finishing outside of the top 5 and I decided that enough was enough so I went out of my way to get the job. They were in absolute ruin. No money, overpaid average players, facilities had gone to tatters (Even morso) and the dynamics were in the mud. I had about 12m to spend and managed to make about 100m in player sales but it was nowhere near enough so I mostly used amortisation to get them out of the pits. I bought a bunch of the youth players from my previous club for anywhere from 20-40m but I spread the payment out over 8 1/2 years (3 12-month, 6 6-month and 5 6-month instalments). I racked up about 400m in transfer debt doing this but I had a team of future world beaters. Managed to finish top 4 in the first season and came 2nd in the second season but now the team was really growing into itself. The next season I won the Prem and came runner up in UCL. The sponsorships increased a lot during this time and so did the rest of the commercial revenue so I had a decent amount of money and managed to shore up the squad with more wonderkids for depth. Won the Quadruple (Quintuple if you count the community shield) in season 4

The problem I find with his scouting is that if you select multiple positions the scouts will ONLY “Find players who can play all selected positions”, which means that if you need a Rb and only have like 3 days left on the window your scouts will only have found players who can play both lb and rb and then that could be a problem as those players might be more expensive or not as good as someone who only plays on one side.

This has helped me so much I was struggling to get my strikers to score goals consistently with Plymouth in the Prem because they are simply not good enough, I ended up finishing 11th in this season simply because in the transfer window of this first season in the Premier League I splashed all my cash on top quality central defenders and midfielders. Now using those recruitment focuses from the video I have managed to sign a 4 star CA striker who is a significant improvement on the strikers I have. Edit: I am in 2026/27 season now with Plymouth.

[@mambadotes]

You can pretty much almost always bring down the playing time by choosing the option of "I must say you are not of that quality" or something like that (top line first right one to the center). Didnt work only once when I used it on my best CD, but then I brought better CD and it worked again. So its working 9 out of 10 times I would say

[@irishgroc7656]

One of my main problems this year has been promising playing time. There were a lot of players on my team that every time I wanted to renew them they wanted more and more playing time even if they didn't have the skill to be a "superstar"... I struggled more renewing players than signing them and all because they were always asking more playing time and they never wanted to negotiate less.

Loan with future fees are such a great way to get rid of players that you don't need and don't really have clubs lining up to buy them. I mainly use it to get rid of youth players that just aren't gonna make the cut, but still are worth enough money to be worth selling. Most of the times there is little to no interested for a transfer. However, a loan with a mandatory future fee almost always works and I can usually get a fee that's really close to their transfer value. Same works with first team players you want to get rid off, but have no clubs interested in a transfer.

I just won champions league with Skt Pauli, took me 4 seasons. First season i won 2 Bundesliga, with a core of the best of the old squad and loan players, thx to Garland a semi good striker from England, but with a regen of a god and a jump and acceleration of a leopard, my 4-2-3-1 gegenpress tactic i won and got into the Bundesliga. First season i had more money than before but minimal as to the teams already settled good. I kept the best of the team and loaned my way into winning the Bundesliga cup, It was Colombo from Milan( Creasavit) playing console. I also loaned Abrohamovic from Bayern AMC, Van Brommel from AZ, all with a good gamble on buying them after the season. I also invested in free contractless players, like left winger Best, and right winger Chuk Nookey. And a good Goali Estrevo, and i bought 2 players a wonderkid called Gnoto and Slotsager another wonderkid from OB and i was set to go, second season in Bundesliga i won the League, hard work with a truple tactics depending on your opponent, consisting of 4-2-3-1 attacking, 3-5-2 Defence balanced and 3-4-3 Positive all out tackle and marking. I after i won the league i could buy all loan players, then i shifted to make a second team to support with supportive players, like Chemlein, Paulinho and Vitek. Then i raped my wish list, all the wonderkids i have found i build a reserve team on those i could buy and loan to buy, next year i bougt A DM from PSG a young one and Thuram. I won the champions League, and from that postion i just got richer by selling and buying young players and winning the trophies, while winning the Bundesliga give you around 100 mio, the champions league is just a printing press.

If i tried to sell players the way zealand does i would have revolt immediately. Most of the tricks he does do not work on my saves ...

[@SaptashwaBandyopadhyay]

I think it depends from save to save. Here are a few things I do: 1) Offer them out at a lower value to start a bidding war (I believe Zealand has covered this in a previous video). I have been able to raise the price higher than what I would have accepted by doing incremental higher offerings every couple of days and rejecting the lower offer. 2) Loan out a player if the wage is a problem and they have more than a year left on their contract. Sometimes a player not playing can put teams off making an offer. If they play well on loan, you might get a suitable bid in the next transfer window. 3) This goes against Zealand's advice and works best for German and Dutch teams (where there's no registration rules) - buy 2 CA/4-5 PA young players (preferably 18 year olds) from nations where it's cheap. Their value will increase when they join the club. Any who get into your team even as an impact sub will help you fulfill homegrown rules later down the line. Have them available for U19 to continue their development. Loan out the rest to teams with good facilities and playing in good leagues (bonus if it's a domestic club). You can sell these players for a profit in a few years if they don't meet your team's standard and repeat the cycle. I did something similar with PSV in FM22 and took their bank balance to over $1b. Every year I was selling off not good enough youth players for $100m+ combined, which allowed me to spend big/compete with European heavyweights in terms of salaries. Works even better in Germany as Bundesliga/2 offers good money for their league place finishes. I'll add more if I can think of anything else. Oh and having w competent and big scouting team is essential, as Zealand has already mentioned.

The very best of them I keep for a long time for mentoring. 2nd squad - Main Squad 23-26 year olds who are gonna replace the old guard in time, they play most league matches and cups, the workhorses. 3rd squad - Youngins up to 20 year olds who play for reserves, get mentored, typically moving them up after 3rd season and replace unwanted ones via transfers when it's time. 4th squad - The same as above, I play both squads on rotation. Benchers - Extra GK, LB+RB(yeah i'm fucking up someone's future deliberately for the benefit of the team instead of making their secondary role LM or LW), CD, DM, CM, AM and ST cause injuries are a bitch and when it rains it fucking pours. Never have I ever had only 1 injured player, when there's an injury it spreads to AT LEAST 3 players because of reasons.

Some, just end up being sold as they don't ever reach potential, but some really surprise you and end up amazing!

[@MrGlennJohnsen]

I always end up with my teams looking like this simply by building around signing youth talents and just keeping them until I have a strong enough team, strong enough reputition, strong enough economy and strong enough rating with club owners that I can say no to basically any offer that comes inn for my top players. Building a super team, in my experience, is only possible with a long term project (save). Even if you're Real Madrid, Man United, Man City, Barcelona or PSG you end up having players that you can't move on. Even if you get them moved on there's rarely available top players to instantly take you to the super club status.

Scout Uruguayan, Chilean and Colombian newgens would be my tip. They're so much cheaper than Brazilians and Argentinians. You can pick up wonderkids for only a few million.

[@chinyembamwale]

Yall should sign youngsters (19 and below) with potential for the first team due to homegrown rules especially in England the homegrown rules in the champions league are frustrating if u don’t pay attention to how many hgc and hgn players u have

[@Scheme1]

I Signed Sarr at Barcelona and he’s a DAWG for me!! But he demanded 24mill/yr on his extension and kind of screwed me on the salary cap. 😂 it’s crazy how different the same players can be in different saves.

[@forgeofknowledge9309]

2:40 is that Belarmino Seca a real player? If so, what league do you need to find him?

[@giovanninunes3251]

Hey Zealand, I’m having trouble using the newgan manager v1.4, when I click replace faces it doesn’t do anything, this is the first time I’m using it in fm24. Pls help

[@griffin3501]

why i can't find those players in my saved game? what leagues lu choose to play?

[@serjordan13]

What is the "holy trinity" you mentioned at 21:40?

[@andreirenou4812]

dribbling, finishing, and first touch attributes. Due to the fact they're all right next to eachother in the attribute list and are 3 of the most important stats for any attacking player

[@johndoe2769]

I may be wrong slightly but i can point you in the right direction. he always refers to the holy trinity as the attributes "First touch, dribbling and finishing" i think. along with pace basically these players will win you games at the top level. I think its those 3 attributes : )

[@valentingesrel8013]

You said attributes of your players go up +3 max is it only for the one you buy? because the one from my academy gained up to +9 +7 and a lots have +5 in many attibutes

[@ReyMDC]

Man, Pape Matar Sarr is a great player, my team is Tottenham(because they dont know how win the premier or any competitions) and Pape is my best Midfielder 4.5 stars and 7.5 ovr in my first season.

[@muMIKEfc]

I've tried setting up these recruitment focuses in a new save but they keep disappearing. I'm sure I'm missing something simple but I'm stumped. Can anyone advise please?

[@thedanimal1346]

the only ones that stay are "ongoing"

[@cedo3333]

As always that was interesting. I speak as a veteran of the franchise but i learn everyday with this amazing game. And yes i manage my friendlies lol, full 2 scouts (lol) and mode building a legacy. The only shame? my original FM 9X save was Bury. I played them for every games they sold. Now i can't i'm so sad :(

[@sachavdp3853]

Bury is a very low team, if u download a mod you can play with Bury

[@cedo3333]

@@sachavdp3853 That was always the point btw i love building ^^ Thx for the tip.

Play Napoli, Ive been sacked by ADL every season, in my best attempt I was top of league but brought to many older players in and so he sacked me. I think it would make a good video going into Napoli's situation, ADL expects the team to win but with the signings the team has made and lost (Kim min jae) its quite the challenge. love the vids... Forza Naples

[@zhorebbagames2676]

How big a player database you play with? Any advice on that?

[@MeesterJ]

I just go to national teams under 19, like Chech Republic. There are 15 year olds with insane stats in those teams and usually quite easy to sign

i remember timber fm 23 timber was soo good

[@Mateo_CepedaSoccer]

Im on xbox playing FM, and i have 2 options. Continue my first save in 2030 with Osasuna which i took them to the ucl in 2028/29 after being with Derby county for the other szns(fa cupa winners and 1/4 of uel) 2nd option- start a new save, but im stuck if i should i start a new one because idk what team to do. Please leave suggestions for which option and if it is 2 give me a team

[@karunkumar7053]

Hey zealand a fifa youtuber named tsarbucks want to change from fifa to fm .Thought you could help him

[@tomvittino]

Which stats conform the holy trinity? is Determination in it? Thanks!

[@brotherben6715]

@zealand or anyone : what I find hard to do as a big club manager is to spend near 100m on a under 22 player, i.e. you dont know if he likes big matches or not. My philosophy still is that he has to have good personality AND good important matches. How do you feel and deal with that ?

[@fpsoccer9791]

How does Zealand get the nice faces for new gens? I know its a pack but does anyone have the specific link for his pack?

[@Notaboss17]

I keep trying to download logo packs for fm but my computer just wont download em anyone know why?

[@nemangame]

It would be really nice if you could make a video on how to raise your club reputation, because it is really hard. In my save i started as a club in second tier of Croatia and even ten seasons later, after winning the last 6 national leagues and getting to the knockouts of the CL for 5 straight years (once round of 32, twice round of 16 and twice quarter-finals) i'm still at the level of Luton, Galatasaray and Olympiacos. Oh yeah, i also won a Conference League as well the season before the first CL knockouts. I sold two players in two transfer windows for 220M+ yet no top players wants to join, no matter the money.

[@markkajc]

I think sadly the answer is that it happens slowly over time by winning and signing better players

[@SnowzyJones]

Trim is looking fresh Z

[@vivatorres7000]

plot twist, Pape Mate Sarr become a monster in each saves :')

[@bruningoua9076]

I think it's a bit easy to make a video on "how to make a great team" while coaching an English team, and a regular in the big 6 at that. You potentially have 190 million at every mercato, making the task easier. I'd have preferred you to do a tip on how to create a great team by coaching teams like Mainz and Real Sociedad, with less substantial resources. 😅

[@michaelh878]

Best team I ever had was at Cambuur. It is actually easier than the biggest leagues because most will accept way lower wages than they would want if in the prem or Spain.

[@sebpalmer7881]

Currently doing a save with Lincoln Red Imps in Gibraltar. Pretty much always get to the champions league through the qualifying rounds, but when I get there it’s tough to get more than 4 or 5 points. How do I improve the team when it’s tough to attract good players? In 2031 atm

[@username_not_found5013]

I love how I'm watching this whilst playing a fm 23 save and knowing I can't use an intermediary to sell martial and malacia 😭 . Why are transfers so painful in fm23 man

[@noerskov23]

Does anyone know how Zealand gets his newgen faces to look so good? I've downloaded the Newgan facepack for FM24 but all the faces just look so obviously AI-generated it kind of ruins the immersion, but his looks so extremely real, how does he do it?

[@Ravencrwa]

How do i see what my players have in current ability in Numbers not only stars

[@roastiez7843]

If youre open to suggestions for new videos bud, id love to know your thoughts on players that are simply unable to remove inappropriate traits, for example ive got an incredible DLP wonderkid that likes to bomb forward. Ive been trying to remove the trait thru training, for the last 1.5 seasons and it looks like its stuck. Does it matter? Playing him DLP and having contradictory trait, does he stick with instruction or do his own thing? Or do you suggest i try to mould him more into a CM or AP/attacking role?

[@mrartdeco]

the antony clip got me LMAO
