I Watched Big Streamers Play FM, It Was Painful

This was an awesome time but then I ended up observing a conversation about myself in someone else’s chat and the Football Manager Zealand-ception continued on from there. I am still entirely against quick picking my team I want that very clear.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

I love that Kev and Zealand are the most antithetical FM players in their playstyle, but both works. So: play as you want to, the main goal is that you have fun yourself!

[@saoirsedeltufo7436]

Playstyle and streaming style! It's fun watching both, feels like a completely different genre of content haha

[@a.t.g_333]

This would be nice

[@greymantle6949]

Arthur Ray is probably the biggest French FM streamer and a very didactic one, he helps many FM players (new and veteran alike) through his streams and videos. The only other big FM french streamer I can think of is FMGuru (who works at SI as a sidenote). It's a shame you didn't do this video one month ago as one of the biggest french variety streamer, Domingo, was doing his annual FM aventure, this time starting as unemployed with no skills and managed to bring Aubagne FC from N2 to a disheartening loss in accession playoffs to L1. That loss hurt him so much he decided it was time to stop that save. That run with Aubagne led him to make contact with actual Aubagne FC players (mainly Raphael Pioton, who was regularly in the chat) and evven led to an event where Domingo and many of his fans went to see and support the real team for a match last February. He made a YT vlog of this event that is pretty jwdropping at times (Aubagne FC never had so much people supporting them in their arena).

[@tsaageotrimm]

Love the energy Kurt brings. I have to check out this streams now!

My favourite content from you is your "Save Your Saves", because it's educational to those of us not at your level. THIS, now THIS (and the one where you focused on smaller streams), this is that plus style. Keep it up. :)

[@Realrocketdan]

Zealand reacting to comments about himself in the Lollujo stream has me in tears! Great video

[@MrOneofakind777]

I do enjoy the banter between the different FM streamers/content creators. There's such a contrast in personalities but it is all made fine by the banter between the lot.

[@martinvenhard7101]

Hello Z Arthur Ray is the main guy for french FM, he knows evey trick, his youtube page has every tutorial and he creates training, formation etc for us to download Also, you should go and see the end of the last FM stream of Domingo, a huuuuuge streamer, you'll cry

I hope that in the next episode of this type, you will include SecondYellowCard. He's just a hilarious guy, I like his 'animal fact' scenes, especially with penalties in the background, where in his current 'Raise to Top1 Nation' series with Malta this year includes talking about cows. In the previous year it was bears. But he is still a pretty good FM player, although he focuses on scouting/finding young players (especially love his more amateur-focused player searching at the start of the series) and talking about them the most. He and WorkTheSpace are my favorite KZbinrs when it comes to talking about transfer windows and making them interesting.
