How To BUILD A NATION In FM24!

Forza Hamrun! Honestly though, the ground share at Ta'Qali is very authentic to how the league is run. It would be preferable for the game to scale in a way that would eventually give clubs the opportunity to build a new ground once finances allow. IRL Hamrun has applied to build a new stadium. Previously Valletta and their investors had a similar idea. I'm not in love with each club being given their own stadium to start, although having made my own DB I understand the scheduling conflicts that can occur.

[@Nigel4]

My wife is Maltese. I’ve been looking forward to this as well! 🇲🇹

[@OddlySpecificGaming]

Love the club motto “through hardship to the stars”

[@Secondyellowcard]

Hey everybody, quick little update. There was a small update for FM earlier this week that has messed up the TV revenue for the DB. Essentially the game starts giving teams money for matches that weren't televised causing out of control finances. I've temporarily removed the download links for the DB and save file. We should have an updated version of the DB out very soon with all the fixes that the game can't break this time. In addition, we've also been able to find a few other solutions which will be baked into the updated database which means the clubs wont' need anywhere near as much boosted finances in the early game making a better experience overall too. I'll update the links in the description and edit them into this comment once they are done. This does effect the stream save but we've found a solution for that too so all things go ahead as planned! The updated DB is here: www.mediafire.com/file_premium/qr9j29z1akxtvat/SYC_Malta_-_Release_Build_002.fmf/file Fair warning though, it does make things a lot more difficult. But for me it's much more fun

[@JoeApples]

Nice! I was looking forward for your tips and tricks to build a nation because I am doing an insane challenge: I am going to build San Marino from scratch without any custom database and with the real rules! Maybe I should make some videos of my challenge

[@bobblyboble]

Can you still do build a nation on console?

[@tubby1366]

Do you recommend not starting the loan farm til I’ve qualified for Europe or wait til I’m established

[@drizmas]

I have been doing one with Riga FC in latvia. Currently in 2033 and it is a slog haha. My top players (championship level at best) stick around no more than one season as soon as someone that is not in Latvia want them they jump ship without hesitation! love nation building! thank you for the inspiration a few years back, keep up the great work!

[@SorryStylosa]

i am doing one in latvia too, currently in 2050 with super nova

[@elmars5408]

@@SorryStylosawhat has been the most fun moment in your save yet?

[@danarscott7836]

I’m currently managing Valmiera however the registration rules are really halting any progress I want to make. Unfortunately I’ve just seen that with the in-game editor I can edit the registration rules. 8 seasons too late🥲

[@Luke-m4p]

I’m doing one with Jelgava and I’m in the year 2039. The registration rules make getting anywhere near competitive in Europe hopeless especially without a good academy. I’ve managed to get Latvia to 62nd in the world while also managing them as well as winning the league 14 times in a row and have a 252 game unbeaten run in the league. The furthest I’ve made it in Europe is the round of 16 of the Europa league and quarter finals of the conference league. All my good players whether foreign or homegrown all get poached as soon as they get good (within a season). All the other clubs in the league are also lacking in Europe with Riga being the only bang average side being the closest for qualifying for Europe so far other than me.

[@Luke-m4p]

And I love every bit of it (definitely)

[@nickmedicis7340]

Building a nation in Malta was my save in fm23. I’ll be transferring it over to fm24 and continuing as we’re in 2045 and a top 10 league and top 75 national team. It’s been a blast so far and im glad im able to keep going!!

[@donkarnage6986]

[@edwardparkes809]

I did a Malta save last year and got Valletta to UCL knockouts. My fav save ever.

[@HeadHeartNBalls]

Love your build a nation saves & love that you've made this guide for editor newbs like me

[@Alex58399]

I’m doing this with the Netherlands. It’s a much easier challenge than Malta of course, but I was tired of the 3 UCL spots when I finished 4th with NEC Nijmegen. Time to do well in Europe on a shoestring budget!

[@connorledwith98]

I am 5 seasons into my Ebbsfleet career and I’m in the championship… I’ve had 3 really good welsh players come through the academy in that time and have sort of decided to do it with wales in this save

[@thogro99]

Forza NEC!!!

[@michaelh878]

Took me about 25 years to get them to 4th. But this season has been weird with Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord, Vitesse outside the top4.

[@chrisfurness4486]

In my Slovakia build a nation one one of the clubs had a takeover when doing the extensions - it right royally screwed their loan farm they had 4 players left! Excited for this years save Matt!

[@BigEasyH]

i know youve previously mentioned that this will be your last building a nation save for a while but i just want to say that you are the best streamer/youtuber who regularly does this type of save and i will miss it a lot when youre no longer doing it

[@RJB2688]

Just started following on twitch, love the high energy at that time of the morning so catch up from Sundays stream. Definitely looking forward to the journey

[@lostinbkk555]

what an amazing DB set up. I really hope this wakes up SI as to what the players want (it wont)

[@CardinalChunder]

Ugh, I started my build a nation on Wednesday before I saw the problems with TV money. Going to have to start again I think

[@ericmyrs]

I like how you're talking about players that would never get on the team, while having MTK-save legend Mihai Alecu selected. God that guy was a good transfer.

[@vibely.7511]

I'm about halfway through watching the entire series here and I am really excited about this! I might wait until FM25 comes out at this point but I think I want to try this out. Maybe I'll start with Slovakia or a country on a similar level.

[@patrickbourke2385]

this is fab, going to do my own save in malta edit: been playing with Marksaksala starting in the amateur division and it has been so fun. The sponsorship and TV money additions have been great

[@Kimera794]

The guides provided in the discord should encourage me to redo my league system instead of exporting it from fm23 and importing it to fm24 😁😁 Thanks a lot!

[@sarcastronaut]

To whomever it may concern: if you're building a nation in Ireland and want to extend your loans for two years, I've discovered that the magical date is the 31st of December, as early in the day as possible. The loans are actually supposed to end that day, but the game *will* give you a window of opportunity to receive the loan offer, agree to it, and finalise the extension. On any other day your only option is one season.

[@georgedobson1414]

Great video very informative thankyou!

[@daSILVAman86]

I'm going to use your database and try this with my mother's home village of Birzebbuga. Looks like it could be insanely difficult 😂

[@jamesandcathy]

One heads up when it comes to adding the promise to get them a loan in their contract. You will still piss them off if they are on the dev list and they get offers from abroad that you reject but no home nation team come in for them.

[@tommyzammit3322]

Immense when the DB gets updated i will download. As a maltese person its always so tough to do save in our league ❤

[@DiarmuidDoherty]

I did this in Slovakia on 21, getting them to the 4th biggest league and the national team won an u20 world cup and the euros Also had 2 different teams win the conference league (Ruzomborek and Banska Bystrica) Finished in 2055 because i finally jumped to 23 😂

I'm rocking a CSKA 1948 Sofia save in Bulgaria. Dethroned Ludogorets as champions from their 12 yr run back to back so far. Looking forward to doing this with Bulgaria!

[@aidanwillis213]

Same here! Except I've gone with Septemvri Sofia as they have some fantastic facilities for being in the 2nd tier. Have you noticed any drawbacks with the rules in regards to doing a long-term nation building save?

[@aherointrepid]

@@aidanwillis213 I'm admittedly only in season 2. I have a lot of problems loaning players out in nation so far because of the foreign player rules so I've started focusing on young European players if I can get them cheap and minimizing how many foreign players I have unless they are very very good. I think I have to do some development in my first team, drum up some interest through playing time, and hopefully I'll have better luck then. Getting into Champions League group stage tho brought in a cool 12.5m (us $) to the club which gave me the wiggle room to expand my scouting to worldwide

[@Gamerbox89]

i am malltese well done mate! do it with Dingli swallows haha

You should do it, Ireland is so fun. So far I've got Waterford to a CL QF in 2035. It's a massive slog but fun still

[@Macronaso]

ooo I'm going to try this database right away. I always like to play bad teams in lower divisions and bring them up to become juggernauts and improve the league also but I'm always disheartened by the way the game completely ignores that progress when it comes to revenue and economics and also social media and fans. You would expect that a team that becomes really strong over a short period of time also gains a lot of financial and fan support but the game just doesn't care and gives you the same barely percivable progression as if you were a mid-tier team or just managed to stay out of relegation.

[@psybergames7327]

you were right 110% not sub so decided to sub and thumbs up bro I watch a few and never noticed my bad;.

I will do a building a nation in Slovenia with oldest club ND Irilja in second division. I did manage them in FM23 and it was really fun.. But I will mainly focus on slovenia players and nebouring countries. Hate build a nation without any domestics players, not realistic in my option, nothing against you Matt. One weird rule in slovenia is that 16 years are not allowed to play for the first team, so not uuntil they are 17 years old

[@chrisfmjesusmountsteven6146]

I been looking at Latvia. Did Northern Ireland last time is always a good challenge.

[@DayGreenFreak]

I'm currently doing that in a very very very long save in Scotland right now. Playing as Fort William (Started in Tier 6 (North Caledonian League)) and currently 14 Seasons in I have reached the Championship. Done the same in 2020 but never really took off with the Scottish FA despite reaching multiple CL finals and having various teams break into the other competitions with Hearts even winning three seperate Conference Leagues.

Hey, Maltese person here! Not to be the pronunciation police but just wanted to say that the team you are managing is actually pronounced as "Sireens", with an elongated e. Hope this helps and good luck bringing us Maltese to the top of world football

League reputation i think. Club reputation was nearly 10k. But league rep was still pretty bad

[@EuanBCFC]

Doing one myself but unfortunately I’m stuck with the console version - on the plus side it’s easier to improve my own team, but the league as a whole it’s much tougher (I am enjoying all the players I sign declaring for Gibraltar though, the national is doing very well)

[@HunterOfAchievementss]

As a Birkirkara "Fan" (hard to follow from Germany but trying my best :D ), was a great time during the Pandemic when MFA livestreamed all the games on their KZbin. I will probably enjoy this Malta Playlist and the VOD one. Sirens FC is also a nice choice for this project. I'm also looking forward to the pronouciation of things, if there are any :) I did basically the same when I played FM (it has been a few years) but I tried to get an All-Malta Squad going while winning titles and so on. The biggest problem is the AI and the nonsense FM has to offer as you mentioned (pay-outs, followers, growth).

[@erlingurhjaltason9715]

is there any way to do the same without the loan farm so the league would actually seem normal and realistic?

[@gtavicer8]

One question you didn't explain - how do you cover the wages of 170 loanees if your asking Loan wage is set to 0% ? Especially in smaller clubs like in Malta where the wage budgets are quite small. EDIT - nevermind its covered at 18:23

[@CountFisco]

Id be intrigued to see what happens after you build that nation, then not renewing any of the loans and see what happens to those clubs and that nations coefficient over the next 1 2 5 20 seasons

[@garyhamilton2979]

I did a save like this in Northern Ireland 2 years ago, got the league rep up to 8th. Took me until the 2040's. I noticed you never moved clubs in the Hungary save, do you think that helped? I moved from Glentoran after winning several CLs, but had to move because the my team carried the league. Moving to a club just off the big teams was a cushion before catching Glentoran. Did you fet a new stadium with your team? I got 1 with 2 teams. I believe the size is determined by reputation.

[@ovidexen3933]

Started a save with Hibernians is it safe to say it’s normal especially in the first to spend all season in a negative bank balance haha ?

Question, If I loan a player to a team that is in the third division, extend the contract to the same team in the third division or not extend it and try to get you to go to a better team in the best division? Im in Portugal btw, my young players allways go to third division... :/ Thanks

[@sebiciobanita2293]

You can loan players as many as you want ? Or you have to edit something?

OK so after you've got the league cracking, how do you take over the national team? Is it possible to force this or do you just wait for an offer?
