I took on an IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE | FM Movie

[@Clayts]

Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed it, if you’re not already please subscribe - aiming for 50k! Do we like this style and all the extra effort into it? So many other saves ideas we could do this with! ❤

[@Messiisthegoat10295]

Ik this will be very hard but can you do a Gateshead my hometown

[@Skully4463]

Amen to that second paragraph. It will seem naughty but... GIVE ME MORE. Absolutly loved this and its an amazing "series"

[@DanielSmith-ys3ov]

Brazilians only in your league of choice? This was epic 👏🙌

[@Clayts]

We did that last year for a twitch save - Hertha Brasil. Would make for a great video like this if only we were able to port the save over to fm23.

[@Messiisthegoat10295]

@@Clayts pls do Gateshead bro

[@Beyondultragaming]

This honestly might be one of the most well produced and engaging example of FM story telling ive seen. The video is next level of production and didn't dissapoint.

[@symptomofsouls]

Honestly makes me want to make one of these. Maybe on another channel

[@stabb]

For some of these players I cant find them on the internet, are they ai generated?

I'm from Melilla and a supporter of UD Melilla so this is great to find! Thank you for doing it and putting our team/city on the map! btw, we won the group in real life and ascended to Primera Federación (the 3rd category in Spain) this year

I did a save with Melilla in FM22 and took them to second place in LaLiga

What a journey. What a team. What a content creator

[@Skully4463]

By far my favorite fm video/movie ever. I havent watched much of you, not liking much the DoF series, but this is a masterpiece. Oppenheimer to win an Oscar? No! This is an Oscar winning movie. Amazing, purely amazing. Loved it. I was fuming with the freaking KZbin ads, suffering for Melilla

[@DezireOG]

The storytelling, editing and gameplay this is the best FM content I've ever watched. My word, hats off to you mate.

Clayts, this type of video is amazing. Props on your storytelling, which IMO has always been one of your biggest strengths, but in this video it was amazing. Reminds me of these long video-essays type videos or documentaries, a la Wirtual, which I thoroughly enjoy watching. I would love to watch tens of FM videos like this.

[@Clayts]

❤️❤️❤️

[@stockportlad8560]

I would LOVE to see more videos in this movie/docuseries style. Really engaging and really gets across the story well in a concise timeframe that you would normally only get with a series format.

[@BrasilianFury]

Clayts, this was incredible. It had a supercut type of feel to it like what Chroo tends to do for .FM videos (something I've been taking after as well in my own stuff) after doing the whole series but edited incredibly well to be a mini-movie of sorts with your own video style implemented into it. Excellent work all around, I'd love to see another one of these down the line if this one does numbers. (please, algorithm...let this one do numbers)

[@Clayts]

🙏 - it’s started really well

[@BrasilianFury]

@@Clayts May it continue to do so. Thanks as well for being another one of the FM content creator inspirations to get out there and do my own stuff as well!

[@SamLoinsLyon]

I commented at the start, and now I want to comment, now that I've finished, with my thoughts. When I watch FM content, I normally buy into the storyline, but can often just stop watching after a while. Getting a clear story explored over many seasons into one video is a game-changer. I realise that's it's probably massively time-consuming, but I hope this becomes really popular and we get loads more in the future.

[@Manny]

Quality sir

[@Clayts]

❤️❤️

[@MurphFM]

Can quite honestly say this has been my favourite piece of FM23 content I've seen all year, smashed it out the park here Clayts

[@lewisrobins6754]

Brilliant production. Not seen this by a FM KZbinr before. Great vid Clayts!

[@samalama803]

The plot, the story telling, the music....it was incredible. I felt like i watched a real movie. Especially in the ending scenes telling about the continued success of Melilla. Astonishing.

[@jaedi1396]

The editing, the storytelling, the music, the intense games, all with limited budget... What a great story and victory at the end. Fantastic, sublime, legendary!! Loved this every bit 🤌🤌

[@drewcastle4980]

I know this would have taken an age to create but oh my is it worth it. Absolute masterpiece Clayts, well in mate! Congrats on the greatest FM video ever produced 🎊 🎉

[@RetroProg]

Excellently put together story. Thats the real beauty of this game, its an endless story machine. I took Everton to five consecutive Champions league finals, played five different teams and lost all five which just felt like a very Everton thing to do.

[@BenJamesWadds]

The accolades at the end really brought this documentary to life, good work sir

[@dandmwg]

This was brilliant. The story telling, the nerves and excitement, the good, the bad and the ugly (Sorry Mohamed Ben Ali but you're not my type). It was captivating from start to finish but my favourite part of the whole thing was Photoshopped headphones on Big Ze right at the end. Wonderful stuff

[@johnryan4394]

Fantastic content!! This is what FM is all about for me, what a journey fantastic story well presented…take a bow

[@chillchat8233]

INCREDIBLE, THE STORYLINE AND PRODUCTION OF HOW EVERYTHING WAS PRESENTED WAS AMAZING!!

[@omosolaosobajo5947]

This was BEAUTIFUL! Amazing story, great growth (can see some of Almeria styled transfers). Brilliantly produced!!! Great work!

[@levimollenhauer7693]

This has to be one of my favourite FM videos of all time tbh. Your storytelling is something else compared to others. Keep it up ❤

[@NFFC1865.1]

New here (fed up with manscaped fc crew) been playing FM or the early 90s equivalent for many years. Absolutely love this video mate, bloody amazing! Looking forward to your other videos. I hope I enjoy this ride 😅

[@bushelmush3989]

What a movie. I love content like this!!!! Hope you produce more videos like this (only if they are fun to make rather than arduous and tiring)!

[@Clayts]

I loved the entire process of this one and I’m so happy it’s been well received - I just wish I had the time to put in to do this more often!

[@Rob_FortyTwo]

Well done, Clayts! the pacing of this was spot on, quite enjoyable. RM is no joke this year, I've played through 2034 with Cordoba, and I've still not beat them in the league, despite 2 UCL wins and a runner up there. Even if I get RM head to head, they get me on points, a true Bogey team.

[@CheshireDave]

Just wanted to say thanks for all the amazing content you make. Each and every video you release is interesting and really well made. Excited to watch this one later. I have played CM and FM for donkey's years and you give me so many ideas for saves. Thanks again.

[@Clayts]

Legend ❤️

[@rotrking]

Wow wow wow 🎉🎉🎉 This is the best FM story/challenge I have seen anywhere. What a story, told by a great storyteller himself. You did justice to everything. I had fun watching and I'm not gonna keep it to myself. Others MUST definitely see it.

[@Clayts]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@danfairbairn2998]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I enjoy a lot of FM content but this kind of video articulates why we all get into the game. Those little stories, the player who won’t leave, the backstory from the youth intake, the perfect transfer. And the subtext of the Bernabeu final, perfection. Much much much more of this format please.

[@drew3ism]

I don’t watch many near 50min videos on YT but this was compelling. Great theatre and I absolutely love the comic book style graphics. Loved every minute of this. Great stuff!!

[@wookiee222]

[@harrytateson-stokes]

This is what FM youtube content should be. TomFM doing the same sort of thing with his rebuilds. The game is definitely more suited to telling longer stories, covering long periods time in long format videos

[@James-ol3dj]

Absolute gold standard for FM content on YT. Well done mate, really, really good stuff.

[@alexandernikoloff5643]

I really enjoyed this. I was shocked to see some of the guys were still performing in leagues much higher than their level when they joined. I have played FM in lower leagues but never with a budget that small. I wonder how many gems I missed by just not even considering players under about 500k value. If I had say 12m budget I would sign 2-3 guys for 3.5m and then look at loans for youngsters with good value. This method is a complete change and this is what football is about.

[@M_BreezyFM]

Just been sent this by a friend, I completed a similar challenge with FC Nordsjaelland where I won the Champion's League buying only African Players. This is due to FC Nordsjaelland being owned by the Right To Dream group who made history by becoming the first African organisation to buy a European Football Club. Was a fantastic game save and thoroughly enjoyed it! Well Done Clayts this was brilliant!
