Being An AGENT In FM Is Harder Than It Looks!

In this Football Manager 2023 Career Resurrection video I become a super agent and attempt to find suitable moves for Fabio Carvalho and Ryan Gravenberch. We then watch the rest of their career's play out with both scenarios!

Best FM Idea of 2023 so far. Maybe doing this as a One v One against other FM Content Creators could work?

[@Neubiez]

I remember there is a group of regular FMM Forum members who play this for different seasons and grow their portfolio in the past. Quite an interesting read.

[@Secondyellowcard]

That's very much in the plans for the future, i have another twist i wanna test out next, but after that i'm definitely gonna bring another creator in for the next one after that!

[@chocolatesquare1000]

It would be quite interesting to eventually see regens on this too, seeing an entirely unique career would be fun!

[@Secondyellowcard]

My concern with regens would be the lack of draw for the view with the players not being real, however, with regens i could go absolutely nuts with the story!

[@BradleyParrisFM]

@@Secondyellowcard That’s understandable, end of the day you have to get people to watch!

[@lilblack8990]

@@Secondyellowcard do it people Will watch I personally prefer regens

[@gastonzumbo9860]

​@@Secondyellowcard Perhaps do one similar to this with one young real player and one regen? It would've to be like, a year after the start of the game I imagine, but I reckon it could be fun. Either way, please do more of this! What a great idea and execution my man!

[@grbf2821]

I vote that you were a superior agent for Gravenberch. I was surprised the AI beat you with Fabio, he actually had a solid career with Betis.

[@ronbennun6707]

Please continue with the agent videos, they are a breath of fresh air in the FM world

[@Jonster-Monster]

What these videos have proven so far is the importance of playing football to develop potential. Enjoyed this video too - can't wait to see some more!

[@Secondyellowcard]

It really does seem that way, more specifically first team football in a solid league, B-Team games even if they are in a proper league do not seem to have the same affect

[@bamyatty9338]

Really enjoyed this and your previous one of these! I’ve played FM a few years but only in the last couple of days started watching FM content, and your vids are my fave so far, such a different idea! Funnily enough, I had a save from this year (which has since corrupted, and I can’t get back cos the save was on my switch, boo me all you want, yes I play FM touch, it’s the only way I can play cos I take my switch to work and get gaming there) and in that save I actually had Carvalho and Gravenberch at about the same time, I think I paid a few million for Carvalho and I signed Gravenberch on a free (I tried to get him on a pre contract but he wouldn’t even talk to me, only allowed me to even offer him a contract when he was a free agent😂) so, I seem to have had the same results you had in the video here, Carvalho was great for me and really worked as a PF, and IF, a CM and an AP, whereas Gravenberch was really underwhelming, never really putting in a memorable performance despite me trying to fit him into a lot of different roles in different tactics. I remember Carvalho became a huge fan favourite, scored quite a lot of goals and towards the end I believe I used him a lot as a super sub and he really performed! Dunno if you’ll even see this mate but if you do, there’s some (hopefully you agree on this) interesting opinions from someone who’s had both the players you tried to guide here!

[@MrReese]

I amazed that you actually took up my idea I suggested in the comments of the first FM Agent video 😊✌. Regarding the Carvalho non-Agent timeline...in my experience the worth of a player sykrockets in FM when a team wins something. So having him move to a top club in a weaker league (i.e. Rangers in Scotland) would actually do a lot for his player value and he would get good ratings there too, which then prompts a club from the top 5 leagues to spend proper money on him.

[@Secondyellowcard]

It was an awesome idea! The issue with that for me, was that at the time i was trying to make the moves, Carvalho was demanding wages that were far too high for clubs like Rangers to afford. Once he's released as a free transfer the demands drop so he becomes more attainable. However it does seem that it makes a huge difference and it's something i may try to prioritise in future videos so the AI doesn't mug me off again lol

[@MrReese]

@@Secondyellowcard Agreed, and the longer the player is without a club the lower his wage demands become. In my current save I am contemplating signing a clubless Messi just for fun who initially wanted 10m/year, 5 weeks into the transfer period he has lowered it to 5m/year already. If he lowers it again over the next few weeks I might actually do it just to see Messi at Kaiserslautern 😄.

[@jamiehatton4366]

Really good concept, would love to see more of this 👍🏼

[@amanorapafo1346]

I’m loving this series. Please make more videos

[@harrybacon419]

Quality content, best series

[@StewartForsyth]

I think that goes down as a score draw between you and the AI. Really good video again though and I hope there's more of these to come!

[@99Chappers]

Brilliant video, really fun to see!

[@Secondyellowcard]

Thanks mate!

[@thetimlumbTV]

Such a cool video idea, really interesting to see. Do wonder if on a second sim the AI would flop those players. Maybe next time (more work mind) there could be two separate sims, and potentially two different moves from yourself (or more), and basing the video on just that player rather than two, and see the differences between them all.

[@RatoneroGris]

This is one of the best ideas you have made! I wanted to do something like this and i might soon

[@Secondyellowcard]

It's extremely fun to be honest, i've have a blast making these!

[@ICONMAACU]

Loving this series Mate ❤️

[@facekickr]

Love these takes on being a player's agent!! Well done Matto!!

[@Secondyellowcard]

Thanks man!

[@aidanparr]

Fantastic video yet again!

[@jeffhogg4297]

I say you went 1-1 this time and would love to see more of these.

[@KZS99]

new favorite series

[@modpog8066]

This is an amazing series please keep it going!

[@Secondyellowcard]

More coming later in the month!

[@Rehmedia2024]

Keep ‘em coming and COYW!!!

[@kaliteninbirnumaraladresin2016]

amazing content

[@Bardock426]

The Carvalho case was close though, he still had a very good career at Betis.

[@julianandrefredriksen5848]

Love the series. Keep it up

[@sjgreasley]

Great series, well done!

[@KT0-00-0]

I love this series!

[@Onebadterran]

It would be nice to see the results side-by-side to make it easier to compare performance between you and the AI

[@wombatZ]

I appreciate your efforts :) Good video

[@georgenewton6446]

[@jackmiller4262]

Brilliant video Matt! Really enjoying the agent idea

[@WWERocks]

Loving these videos!

[@albertodc8]

This is amazing!

[@LucasTrys]

gonna need more of these

[@Secondyellowcard]

More on the way!

[@Antipasta17]

Harrison Reed moved to Korea in my save and became a Korean international

[@Secondyellowcard]

That is amazing! I'd have renamed him to Harri Son-Reed if that'd happened to me!

[@Leo-yr8uq]

It’d b cool if u could go into more detail abt their best season, like carvalho making CL final and gravenberch’s seasons at marsaille

[@Secondyellowcard]

I'll try to do that a bit more next time, i just wasn't sure how much people would care about the specifics of the seasons :)

[@iggyfraile1350]

if you are going to do more please do Maximo Perrone. He has a lot of potential and is stuck in the Man City reserves He is 20 years old and plays as a midfielder He´s argentinian

[@rosscronin3692]

Love the series

[@tomb8069]

Really enjoying this series

[@aidengallagher6681]

What a series and what a man! I don't need one but can you be my agent?

[@Secondyellowcard]

I'm in! Can i interest you in a move to Fulham!

[@officialchinz]

Hope to see more journeys and do the players still have biographies? Something you could review after discussing their career path

[@kiddo8597]

More of this please

[@ollie9171]

I really like the idea of doing current youngsters with no professional contract yet that was done in the first episode

[@david25201]

I hope as a liverpool fan that klopp plays carvalho or loans him out to develop so we see him become a real good player in the future

[@crystallan21]

These are insane!

[@vashdehe]

would love to see some players who are struggling for game town outside of europe brought into the english system and see how high up the pyramid they can get

[@Secondyellowcard]

That is actually the superb idea! I'll add that to the list of variations to try out!

[@didntwantmyrealnameanymore]

Tarkowski and elneny to Betis is funny as hell

[@stevenrussellhaime6626]

For a second I thought you were doing a redo of Coutinhos career Vs Gravenberch

[@Nigel4]

I’d love to see a Scottish version of this. Maybe see if you could get Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay better moves? Or Greg Taylor and Ryan Christie Love these videos

[@Nigel4]

Or try 1 with 2 older players like James Milner and Scott Carson or Ashley Young. Could they get 1 last shot at some first team football

[@i-amnai]

This was rather interesting

[@BradleyParrisFM]

Not sure why but this never showed up in my sub box. Great video Matto!

[@Secondyellowcard]

Classic KZbin!

[@davidfox4922]

More please!

[@siviwematikinca9401]

You and the agent fluffed that gravenberch move😂He took two L's in this video🤣 Carvalho just out here winning😂both times

[@tiago7905]

can you do the career of Julian Alvarez? I see he is not getting playtime in man city, and he has a lot fo potential, but is getting shadowed by haaland

[@david25201]

You could do bryan gil for the next episodes since i feel hos career will be stalled aswell

[@udawg9277]

Awesome

[@jibdu]

Fulham doing better without your agency work is hilarious!!!

[@casperx7318]

Look Ajax was definitely the only option for Gravenberch, you can't flop in the Eredivisie

[@pommyadam]

Carvalho - AI did better Gravenberch - uhhh... bit of a wash, arguably you did better, but comparing mid-table prem and lower-prem + uipper-cship isn't ideal

[@jamesandcathy]

Norwich and Fulham in the same video. You don’t often see them together 😂

[@Secondyellowcard]

How dare you!.... Be so correct

[@Richi0h]

It would be cool to have one of these where you can be the agent again at 5 years and compare if you make the right choice there too.

[@bigmeetssmall7522]

Noah Lang?

[@Antipasta17]

Van DeBeek next?

[@Secondyellowcard]

I've found that it doesn't seem to work as well with players at the start of saves, as they aren't as unsettled yet and thus demand wages that are completely nuts and won't join clubs lower than the current station. It's silly really given that he isn't playing IRL

[@kakuite]

Betis got Europa cause Real Madrid won UCL vacating an european spot in La Liga

[@Wrennie1919]

Can you be my agent please?

[@juliocezar6684]

That Skin is horrible
