[@seanchandley1604]

I do believe that Barcelona had a full team due to most of the players they were using being from their B team so only singed a few names and promoted youth

[@KingRagnar]

My ears were hurt twice in this video. Never heard of Batistuta or Joachim Löw (with that pronunciation) 😂

[@rednaskela4830]

No wonder Porto won the UCL, they had their entire real life squad and got to sign of a pool of world class free agents. Even if bigger teams had bigger wage budgets they would not be able to construct depth or fill all positions.

[@Smokyjohnson1983]

Batistuta! Legend. He was awesome. I always had a soft spot for Fiorentina because of him

[@KaitoSchmidtOfficiial]

tells a lot of your football knowledge when you never heard of Batistuta

[@danwoods1987]

Yeah fair point but don’t be a dick about it

[@robinm9168]

I can't believe you've never heard of Batistuta.....he's a legend. I feel old as fuck now lol.

[@gingerbaggins225]

Batistuta was the best Argentinian Striker in the 90's and early 00's. A Fiorentina Legend. I can't imagine how it is possible not to know him. I can see someone in 20 years from now getting a Gerrard Shirt and say I got this Liverpool shirt with Gerrard name on it. But I never heard of this player.

[@digitalfootballer9032]

It all depends on who you follow. I am old enough to know of this Batistuta bloke, but I've never heard of him. To make a comparison to our host here, George Best retired when I was 6 years old and I know who he was. Not that I am a United fan, but mostly followed the English leagues and still primarily do now. I never watched the Italian leagues, and probably couldn't have told you one single player on any team until Ronaldo played for Juventus.

[@digitalfootballer9032]

Also consider you are talking a Liverpool player vs a Fiorentina player. That's like being aghast that someone doesn't remember some player from Burnley but remembers Gianluigi Buffon 20 years from now.

[@rednaskela4830]

@@digitalfootballer9032 An Italian would know Gerrard, whatchu on about. Also what does Burnley have to do with anything. Batistuta is a legit legend of the game winning two golden boots while leading Argentina to two Copa's, and was the all time leading scorer for Argentina until Messi broke his record. Of course no one will remember Ashley Barnes for his achievements in twenty years 😆

[@georgewalters2950]

Why are you so bothered?

[@tuvieja6040]

Crazy fr I can’t believe it. The thing is many english fans only care about english football

[@trainguy4798]

So what always is annoying about databases like this is that FM has wage budget as wage budget remaining in the database not overall wage budget. This means that no clubs can bring in the top player because they dont have the wages available.

[@marcbrisbane6800]

I dont like the older databases cause of the fact they basically deal with budgets as are these days, so like 30m for a player rather than what it was. I get people went to great lengths to get stats etc but it just gets me lpl

[@mateusfernandes8418]

Did you Just release the top5 leagues? Because Porto players are almost equal

[@DGAMINGDE]

Amazing video, but pronuncing Joachim Löw as Jochheim Low 6:00 has to criminal in at least 69 countries.

[@bigdave9188]

Shocking football knowledge from Tom

[@anthonytsigonias]

Low key unbelievable he doesnt know Batistuta. One of football's legends regardless of how old you are. Makes me wonder what other key legend players he doesnt know

[@Bhoope]

Don't blame him though, he is quite an obscure player, and he did mention he was 6 years old when he retired

[@anthonytsigonias]

@@Bhoope i dont blame him, i was kinda surprised cause Batistuta is definitely not an obscure player, hes argentinian legend. Check his international and club stats

[@leifixan_1961]

@@Bhoopehe retired 2 yrs before I was even born. Not an excuse

[@leifixan_1961]

I thought that was a joke?

[@anthonytsigonias]

@@leifixan_1961 Doubt it. Not that it matters, like i said, it was just shock, not blame or mockery

[@ezza-and-friends]

Not knowing batistuta gotta be tom looking for bites

[@georgew3407]

Top lad, great video, but how do you not know who Batistuta is?!

[@listey]

The Tottenham Invincibles. Doesn't quite sound right.

[@udincaux6248]

Great vid as usual Tom. 👍 Anyway have you done experiment where Prem clubs could only sign English players? I wanna see its impact on the national team

[@RetroProg]

Perhaps we should get them to play the early 90s Championship Manager as their lack of knowledge would make for an interesting experiment. Just Remember, Neil Lennon was the next Maradona in CM2. Not knowing Batigoal is like not knowing Matthews, Dean, Muller or Pushkas.

[@marcbrisbane6800]

Love that comment mate. Probably doesnae know who larsson, van bronckhorst, Albertz or Petrov are 😂

[@noahhamilton2395]

Very realistic Liverpool to only sign 4 players despite needing a whole squad

[@user-sg9di6qv6r]

My dreams have come true as a spurs fan. WE ARE UNDEFATED

[@nsomandin5342]

This would make such a fun career save though, like you pick a club that's slightly of the best in the world and try to win a UCL this way (like a brighton, villareal or Frankfurt)

[@FoxAssassin14]

Tottenham unbeaten too. North London isn't Red or White, it's invincible.

[@gmanshairline3060]

hold on.

[@lucasharvey-smith4175]

Although I guess you only released the top players from the top teams in Europe is that correct ?

[@usoparaelcolegio3660]

Great video maybe you show about libertadores or the first division in argentinass or brazil, cheers from argentina

[@astrodgen5824]

Hi Tom I think it would be great if you gave the Northern Ireland first division a 1 billion tv deal!

[@user-nx4xi4zq5h]

Can you pls rebuild Polish club with Most history that now play in the 2 division called "Wisła Kraków" and try to get Polish league to number 1 league? ( 2 week (19 day) )

[@Jimmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

Btw Tom, the “full squad” that Barca “signed” at the beginning of the video is literally just our B-Team and youth academy players. We didn’t sign anyone.

[@spoctic74]

We technically did sign Luca Roman

[@codiesmith9425]

4:26 glitch 😂 invincible as well 😂😂😂

[@Sharzer_]

You said that Chelsea had dropped off at 9th but that’s a surprising finish for them xd

[@krasimirprahov313]

Amazing video as aways, but please make a video where you give Bulgaria 1.6 Billion TV deal

[@Fmguy-sl3cu]

The river plate thing is one of the craziest ive seen in fm

[@martinmcwilliams]

Gabriel Batistuta one of the greatest players in football history and a global icon for over a decade.

[@kylec10]

Holy shit the Pirate of the Caribbean up top for Bayern 😂

[@idkkkkkkkk_]

you didn't know who Batistuta is......

[@Iop490]

The kane curse wae real as soon as hes a free agent spurs win trophy

[@thunderchild1083]

Ok I was literally just typing you've never heard of Batistuta but then you explained so I'll let you off. He's one of the best known strikers of his time

[@Re94n]

Can't believe you've not heard of Batistuta!

[@crazysprout1387]

1:40 Peter leeauwenburg😂🟢⚪️

[@alexgodfrey9974]

The guy who scored the goal to win Arsenal the champions league (Jamie Donley) is in the youth setup of spurs in real life lol

[@lucasharvey-smith4175]

Did you actually release every player from every team in every division in the world ?

[@TheReventon8]

There is actually a database for it, no way he did release every player by himself.

[@daskomika2708]

5:40 Hercher ❤

[@mamemakimmk6189]

😂 The pronunciation of Joachim Löw 😂

[@ebourgess]

So you probably removed all first team players in the teams? as some players remained from B teams in some teams like Barcelona and Bayern

[@maxl.b.m.y.g.5918]

Even in random simulation, Gvardiol joins City

[@Chris_Murphy123]

Never heard of Batigol 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@TiAgo-FM]

Wow 3 b2b CL finals 😍

[@fmyouthdev]

[@alonsobruni8131]

Hertha Berlin is somehow really OP in every FM 😂

[@marcbrisbane6800]

The fiorentina/batistuta must be a pisstake 😂 shirt would be in a museum or on a wall, not going for a few quid 😂

[@danielappleby659]

Tom i have a question is it possible to get mods on football manager mobile

[@littleauditorium3632]

[@grokashrimp]

Thank you

[@whosgotrythm]

Never heard of Baaaty Goal?!!

[@kd3music]

is there a quick option to delete all players?

[@TheChucky101]

Reputation in FM is too important, doesn't matter what is done they always are OP sadly
