Do I play this game? No. Do I know this guy? No. Did I just bench over 2h enjoying every second? Yes! Well done 😁

[@TomFM]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@KW-ng8nd]

​@@TomFM same experience for me, never watched or played FM but this was an incredible journey. Great pacing.

As an Argentinian, I can confirm we dont have a clue how the league works now

Now run it back. Same save, but from five different nations, all that have coefficients below where you won it from the first time.

[@oscarlewis-perrins1343]

He’s already said no 1 million times because national team managing in fm is crap

[@Russ1anMatt]

​@@oscarlewis-perrins1343I don't think he meant do the same with national teams. He just wants exactly this series, but with different clubs

[@negmaster3928]

@@oscarlewis-perrins1343that’s not what he meant btw, countries which have a lower standing in their respective continents. For example managing into the Norwegian First Division for champions league instead of going to Italy like he did in this

One of those strange coincidences in KZbin where you read a comment just as the creator says that quote

[@jimibaboza]

TomFM: Gets laughed at for wanting a Japanese team job. Joins Japanese side. Knocks the team whose fans laughed at him out of the cup Wins the cup Leaves

[@greguzo]

class

[@betor99]

The mexican league part was quite interesting, so in the final you stated you would have won due to league position but that rule is waved for the final alone. Also realistically if you lost a final to chivas in america your job would have been gone immediately specially if you did it twice. loved the video tho.

[@DaGr81_DCnBMore]

Absolutely Smashing Production!!! I would've paid money to watch this in theatres! Congrats on the accomplishment & Thank You for allowing us to share the fun of the journey. Well Done!

[@AlexDellanzo1]

I've got the maddest coincidence ever, I thought Max Quelch-Woolls was an unique name for a regen but there's actually a player in the Sunday league I play in with the exact name

[@DiegoGarcia-ry5id]

I paused the video for a couple hours because I stepped aside to do some stuff. I came back and read this comment exactly when a result from a game where he scored was being shown. The meta-coincidence.

He works for Sports Interactive according to his Linkedin

[@trevorgibb1019]

I don't even know what football manager is other than a video game. But this full movie of yours had me transfixed! Thanks and well done on your great achievement.

[@corbanblakemore5730]

Never played football manager or watched any vids, just hovered over your vid and got sucked into it, loved the entire 2hours and 11minutes

[@abdulgrr]

I never heard of your channel before and also I can't even watch 1 hour episode of tv series but for some reason I watched this whole video without getting bored. Nice job.

[@TheSilentScreamX]

Hey Tom, you inspired me to give this a go myself. I've started with Milford FC in South Africa. Got promoted in 2nd place in my first season, then came 2nd behind Sundowns in my first Prem season. I don't think I'm going to be able to win the African CL with Milford, my wage budget is only like 10% of the big African teams, but my strong league performances and two domestic cup wins have boosted my rep nicely, so I'm hoping to get a better job offer soon.

[@computer.game.player]

I started with Venda FC and won the league with like 73 points, I got SUPER lucky and Orlando Pirates had a terrible season and sacked their manager. I got the job only because of how bad they were. First season got 2nd, then season 3 I won the league by 15 points but lost in the Champions League semi to.... Sundowns (who I beat 3 times in a row in the season). I think it's going to be super hard to beat the Egyptian teams!! And your players always want to leave in Africa!!!

[@nemulodiomphulusaglen]

Kaizer Chiefs just lost to Milford in real life 😂

[@UndisputedAmz]

Took 20 seasons to complete it as I included Oceania as part of the challenge that I won the CL with a New Caledonian team within 2 seasons then builded my rep in Malaysia/Australia/Uruguay/Portugal then won a clean sweep in Mexico then did the impossible job with Boca as I sold half of the squad due to debt then took 3 seasons to win the CL with Shanghai Shenhua as it was very hard despite a massive budget of half a billion then took a year off and won everything in Morocco then somehow got the Bayern job who were the best team in the world in 2040s as I completed the challenge.

[@andrewvanvalkenburg7407]

One word: dedication. Nice one!

[@thomasfrost3087]

I’ve taken this on. Never done it before. January 2031 and two down. Africa and North America. ENPPI in 2029 and América in 2030. Took over ATP in Brazil after 15 games with us 2nd bottom. Ended up finishing 4th and winning the Copa Sudamericana, so we’re in the Copa Libertadores for 2031.

[@wasen_aeon]

I have a fun challenge to suggest but it may be a bit long: Win the league in every country in Europe, starting from the lowest ranked league and working your way up towards Premier League.

[@amethyphoenix]

There's 54 nations in Europe, and 53 that have leagues. That is indeed a tall order, especially if you make a fantasy league for Liechtenstein, in which case, that'd push it up to 54. Either way, that is very long indeed.

[@listey]

You should do it and post it on your channel. I'd be interested to see it.

[@amethyphoenix]

@@listey I dunno who you're directing that towards

Thoroughly good watch, really enjoyed this past 2 hours or so. Great video mate. You have yourself a new subscriber

[@adrialladomendoza8940]

WHAT A VIDEO!!! watched every second as if it was a movie! Great job, amazing content. If I could recommend a challenge it would be the pentagon challenge but you must win with the first team of the continent that hires you!!!

Great video you popped up out of nowhere on my recommend and really caught my attention with this video 🙌🔥

Great challenge, if you want to make it more difficult next time download the Antarctica megapack and see if you can win the Antarctica Champions League

how did you even manage clubs from morocco? is it available in the base game?

[@matthewmurphy3140]

took me since you uploaded to finish this just today great content thanks tom.

[@comojannalifc]

Great video. Like many I stumbled upon this having never played FM properly (since ultimate soccer manager 99 that is) Looks great - don’t think there is an issue with an over 2 hour video but as a tip I watched it at 1.25x and it takes nothing away from the production. Great content

[@Fumikor]

Your multi-foreign league career videos are always so much fun to watch. I literally bought FM2024 after this one.

[@user-gu2rs3mu5r]

27:41 lol It would've been great if it was happened in real life Anyway well done Tom, love from South Korea

[@JesusTorres-sg8jl]

If i remember correctly, the finals in Mexico take away the league standing rule. That one goes to extra time/pens if necessary

[@WEOFFNDR]

Grandissimo video, analisi interessante e soprattutto d’accordo su kamada partita super positiva. Spero vivamente di non averti fatto buttare i soldi per le luci 😂 magari una lavagna verde o scura potrebbe risolvere il tutto? Buona Pasqua bello e continua così che farai strada!!

[@djchrisbaillie]

I’m finding my self addicted to these videos. And I haven’t played football manager in years. Would love to see you try and win all the international competitions in each confederation and then finish with the World Cup.

[@j3cubed562]

I have never played this game before in my life. I have 0 interest in this game and 0 interest in futbol or soccer. But I gladly sat down and watched this thoroughly enjoying all 2+ hours of it. Now I have to subscribe and see what else he's got!

[@ozsarkadir]

Wonderful video Tom. I cannot believe I have watched the whole 2 hours. I have been playing manager games since CM03/04 and never even attempted this challenge before. I have always tried to create challenges within Europe. I was wondering, what was the database choice (mid, large) and which leagues you have choose? It must be really slow to progress with every league turned on while creating the save.

[@strawanza2502]

By far the most catching and entertaining FM Movie I have ever seen. Was fun to watch the Journey!

[@sideshowblob]

12 outfield players, two goalkeepers, no backroom staff yet still favourite to come fourth...

[@thesaintneyl]

oh hey IRT Tanger, that’s my city’s club ! so cool to see it featured in your video lol

I hope you see this comment Tom, seriously a fantastic video. Please please do more long formats like this.

[@davidmarkaldridge9546]

[@aslaninfinity]

I would like to challenge you @TomFM. Become 10th in the league with 10 different teams. 10 times in a row.

[@AndiBraun93]

I did a pentagon challenge in FM22 and I just don't think the game is designed to roam around smaller leagues for several years. Took me 6 years to CAF CL, mercifully short 4 months to AFC CL, 3 years CONCACAF, 4 years Copa Libertadores and then only 6-7 months UEFA (got the ManCity job right away) with an aging Haaland. I don't regret the save, actually I'm still playing in that save, but I think other challenges are more interesting.

[@bazmenko1-cy4ou]

Loved this!! 👏

Got to get all 6 next, OFC as well

[@gabephotos]

What skin do you use on fm24 if any? Great video as always!

[@shandog7]

Just a shame that Moon could not be brought back into the final chapter. Would have been such a great end to a football manager love story

[@darwizzyfan]

I was wondering why the game looked like that for the copa libertadores final. “The match was being played while the sun was exploding.”😂😂😂😂😂😂 you are hilarious

[@corgi_plus]

2:50 "and the crowd went wild" was crazy im pretty sure the players and the managers we're the only peopole there💀

[@dragroch5536]

That was incredible to watch from someone who struggles with this particular game.

[@AMIR.HOSSEIN.9980]

Do this again but its hexagon challenge the sixth confederation is OFC

[@davidmarkaldridge9546]

Ok, taken on the challenge with my FM 23. Strangely enough have never played a career, just single clubs. Waited for months without a job before getting National Lge Black Leopards in SA with 6 games left of the season to save them. Bit of organisation and morale boosting and we scraped a few wins. Led them to promotion in the first season and quit. Their debt had go worse and we were going nowhere. Kaizer Chiefs had only just avoided relegation, sacked their manager and I got the gig. Never seen a club with so many excess players needing dumping. Proceeded to win everything over the next two seasons. Meagre quality in Africa to be fair. Quit and awaiting a gig in asia.

[@youtubeenthussiast328]

I got no idea whats going on but im loving it

[@VKMSinttruiden]

Very nice content. How did you get all the African leagues in your save?

[@zoeykeller9083]

[@liamtreacy6439]

how do you play games faster I can’t seem to finish 4 seasons in less than a couple months

As an argentinian, I can confirm that argentinians doesn´t understand how our first division football does work 👍
