This is the Most RIDICULOUS Challenge in Football Manager

This is the Most RIDICULOUS Challenge in Football Manager 2024: The Ross County Challenge. I have to try and win the Scottish Premiership with the club, but I can only sign players with Ross in their name. This FM24 challenge seems ALMOST impossible as we look to rebuild Ross County to beat Celtic and Rangers in Scotland.

Ross Spittal is where you send your Ross' when they are really badly injured

[@TomFM]

This is the best comment of the video 😂

[@RyanHansen_101]

On and off pitch communication could be an issue.

[@urbz100]

Everyone is a mime

[@oliverhughes419]

The opponent won’t know too

[@thisisafox1961]

When is the Saint-Étienne save going to continue? I know it's a second channel series, so less important, but I was really invested and enjoying it.

[@chriswoodley23]

TomFM could also do a cross-over with this video and only buy players called Stephen/Etienne

[@fletchergracie3992]

Ross switches the ball to Ross, who controls it brilliantly. He takes on his man, and Ross whips(cRosses) in a ball towards Ross at the front post, but it goes over Ross, lands on the head of Ross behind him, who sets it down to Ross who hits it first time, but ends up hitting his own player, Ross, before trickling out for a goal kick, despite the best efforts of Ross. Ross is fuming(cRoss) at the team missing this opportunity to score, and Ross Ross has to break Ross and Ross apart in a game of handbags.

[@100ttben]

' right ross you're going on loan this season'.... whole team looks at manager

[@Hullcityloverisquiting]

😂😂

[@Drmmnd]

A Ross County rebuild only allowing the name Ross? We will be there

[@under_silva]

Great idea! Now do one with Santos with only players named Santos on the squad

[@aek9449]

Nice one

[@CHECKMATEINONE]

@@aek9449 what about one with Barry

[@rugbyfan9225]

I completed a similar challenge with Man City where every player on the team had to be a man. Turns out it wasn't that difficult.

[@benficademacaufan]

😂

[@listey]

I did the same with Man United and all I had to do was sell Antony.

[@cloverisfan818]

So no youths?

[@darrenkoh8873]

would be cool if you did a save for AZ where ur team has to have names starting with A all the way to Z. Only 1 player per letter and if 1 leaves they have to be replaced.

[@blobfishking9419]

YES

[@Vexed_GG]

Just started this, squad of 25 so fits the alphabet nicely to allow one letter being dopped. Aim: win the champions league with only one player last (last name is the last word, no Van for V!) name for each letter. Just completed my squad and man this is hard with the budget and wage structure! Some hard choices to be made for B and M! Would be keen to see this tried by Tom!

[@waynerob]

Awaiting the video attempting to topple TNS in the Cymru Premier as Barry Town with a team of Barrys

[@ignaciokapo]

I love this idea

[@Cam_Jong_Un]

In before wonderkid signing Mario barriachi turns up

[@JONAYB13o]

Also fun fact. Ross Countys stadium at the start of the game already has a capacity which is greater than the population of where Ross County is (Dingwall)!

[@user-yq9xg4eq4n]

Achievement Unlocked: Full "Ross"ter

[@Guns_Blazin]

Ross County getting a 16,000 seater stadium would be insane, considering their home town of Dingwall (the most Australian name for a place ever) is more than three times smaller than it.

[@michaels8512]

The reason it sounds Australian is because a lot of Australian names came from Scottish settlers.

[@willcomrie2853]

nah dingwall has about 6,000-7,000 folk now, though a lot of our support comes from conon, maryburgh, tain, alness and invergordon

[@mikemacleod3491]

Dingwall is a Norse name

[@JONAYB13o]

I can’t believe you didn’t get Southampton Striker Ross Stewart! He even used to play with Ross County :)

[@opsyko3310]

The Oliver Ross sale almost brought a tear to my eye, what a legend

[@seanmcpherson]

I think names like Trossard should count for the next challenge. Makes it less of a judgement call for you, and then you get to be creative with the players you find.

[@Schlinx619]

Incredible effort. Next challenge, similar vein, play as Keith FC and, as you've guessed it, all players have to be called Keith.

[@octoo4157]

Sorry if I keep bring this up but will you continue with the Saint-Etienne rebuild ? I feel like a lot of people would love for the series to continue

[@originalname5096]

What is it with Ross County and having goalies called Ross lmao. Ross Laidlaw, Ross Munro and now Logan Ross

[@uitblazenindepijp]

Great video! Jordan Rossiter was one of my best players in Football manager 2016 when I was managing Sheffield Wednesday. He became a premiership star player and and an england international lol. By then I was already at Derby County though after they sacked me. I got back at them later when I promoted. Still one of my favourite saves. I really miss the simplicity of the older FM games. The new games feel like actual work almost.

[@ChesterRGC]

You could make this same challenge with -Osasuna and García -Espanyol with López -idk more examples

[@owenchong2490]

absolutely LOVED this concept, what an elite challenge. what name could you do next? Brad with Bradford City? Wolf with Wolfsburg? Cruz with Cruz Azul? Young/Jung with Young Boys? just to name a few 😅

[@zombazukahz]

santos could work

[@owenchong2490]

@@zombazukahz oh yea, true!

[@ivanrojt1862]

It could be Frank for Frankfurt too

[@manephewlenny6401]

Young Boys with only players aged 16 or under.

[@mikkelclausen1205]

You need to rebuild my local team Odense BK. About 10-20 years ago, they were a top 4 team in Denmark, but in the last 10 years, they have only reached the top 6 once, and this season they have 0 wins at home.

[@christopherpolockus7647]

This is a great idea. Think the trossard thing is a little harsh. He clearly has ross in his name.

[@twilliamspro]

Barry Town with lads called Barry

[@weeldapig1025]

28:40 glad to see fm got the sharkhead attendance accurate

[@shelgh]

You could do another one of this with Oliveirense in Portugal tier 2, signing only players named Oliveira.

[@johnodaz1273]

Awesome stuff Tom. Loved this Ross Challenge, Keith next lol.

[@kieranlowcock6905]

Nah not even 30 seconds into the video and this video idea is already the best in the channel I love it 😂😂

[@shaunmacdonald2438]

Ross county mentioned! 🎉

[@cedo3333]

11:30 just for the soundtrack! A fan of Hajime apparently cool ;)

[@christianlenik5307]

Tom brings his Rosster to another Level...

[@chriswilliams-dm9tx]

Can't believe you didn't have Ross Dingwall.. Mon the Staggies!

[@afsoc4life]

Reminds me of when i did a Youth Academy challenge with Caley Braves. Beating BOTH Rangers and Celtic is difficult.

[@leonwilson5366]

Love your videos, and I get enjoyment watching your videos especially with Scottish teams, appreciate the recognition of the Scottish leagues, keep up the good work. Mon ih dons/ Aberdeen

[@critiqueoblique5820]

Yeah, this is silly enough for me. On a par with the guy who beat Skyrim by throwing buckets at Alduin.

[@piotrwoejko5857]

Most ridiculous idea so far and it turned into an amazing video. Kudos to you Tom, well done 😂

[@CmLeo145]

Should have gotten Mike Ross, i hear he is pretty good on defence. He used to play for Pearson Specter Litt

[@hamishsimpson285]

Nah being a county fan I saw this my jaw dropped didn't expect you to make a video about us 😂😂

[@chimsuaumo]

When you said twist, I was expecting something along the lines of 'Scottish players only'. Only players named Ross was unexpected.

[@kudosr2578]

Ezequiel Rossi? Why does his full name show "rossi" with the lower case - editing?

[@Murtini2023]

25:07 The best advantage I've seen in FM. Class from the ref.

[@ligertv9382]

That was a class watch! Brilliant 👏🏻

[@Myrvold]

Just starting the video, but it is kinda funny that the record transfer before you start playing is for a player named... Ross.

[@user-ez1uw6zs2b]

Jordan Ross at hibs is a faceinthegame player. Some lad called sharp at Aberdeen is usually class

[@leepinches3451]

Love these videos ❤

[@james2529]

A 40 minute video about a team of Rosses. I giggled everytime he said 'the Rosses'.

[@KaitoMomota11037]

That final game was INSANE

[@yungduh]

How about that challenge idea: lead Royal Charleroi to win UCL as a team that have never won any trophy in Belgium and Europe, and became first Belgium team ever to win UCL? Sounds tough and fun, especially as they are in relegation zone irl

[@alexandre526]

I'm sad we didn't see your derby against Rosenborg but it was a very fun video nonetheless

[@johnstrac]

Always love a Scottish save, excellent work.

[@DukiTovke]

Great stuff ! Now do a save with Mancherster United only with players named Manchester United. Cheers mate!

[@mightyshishkebab2010]

when is the next ASSE video bro

[@deanmcdougall5331]

16,000 seater stadium in a town of 5,491 people is wild.

[@njweb]

I hope you only employed coaching staff called Ross too..?! Good vid!

[@letree5005]

I heard you say the Ross Rule and I literally said "You what?!" out loud 😂😂😂 What a crazy video!!

[@letree5005]

Respect though, I couldn't do this to save my life!

[@zombazukahz]

you wot m8

[@flak509]

While we're waiting for you to try out the Superliga, a try at the Scottish Premiership is cool ;)

[@stephenanakie3500]

Only 10 minutes in, but with your record, despite how crazy the challenge is, am sure you completed it, looking forward to seeing ending

[@jonasnielsen2914]

This could be nice to do with other names too 😍 i love this idea

[@CammyA98]

Wish there was certain time limits in these challenge videos, so we don't actually know if you complete them or not

[@BigBadBozley]

that thumbnail is going to haunt my dreams, genuinely scary

[@Mattiye]

How do you go about scouting for this? I’m thinking of trying a ‘GO ON MY SON’ save, where everyone has to have ‘Son’ in their name, first or last name

[@DJBop86]

As someone who was wearing a Ross County home shirt earlier this week, I approve of this video. 😂 Also happen to be my aunt’s local team 👍🏼

[@scottmcreynolds9157]

I love the 16k stadium when Dingwall has a population of around 5/6k 😂

[@ate1o]

That's quite the rosster you ended up with

[@kennykeegan6499]

Course you would say ROSSenborg 😂😂😂 love it. Good ole Ross off

[@stevenspence84]

This is absolutely insane

[@FilostrayaEdits]

Do a challenge where you have to try getting every badge, each Netflix account has a seperate account so you can make a second account and try doing it.

[@athanas6639]

"Ross with the header to ross...ross passes it...ross with the shot"

[@Josephied]

A lot of Rossism in this video signing only people called Ross… 😉

[@mrman2415]

Booo

[@davidpickering8943]

My dads mate son plays for these and he was in Klopp first Liverpool squad

[@samsteff6396]

Is this based off of your Tom FC squad in the FM Showdown?

[@owenhodson6969]

I just downloaded football manager, I LOVE IT

[@Krenteboll]

Honestly, that one Ross carried

[@WizardsLore]

Was screaming Ross Barkley at the screen from the beginning till 17:20

[@lastpenny849]

Shot challenge. Do a shot every time Tom says "however".

[@giuliocaravaggio6307]

Please can you rebuild Pescara from Italy? Maybe with former players like Immobile, Verratti, Insigne and Mr. Allegri

[@ashleythorpe823]

Can’t wait for the video of taking Keith in the Scottish non-leagues to the top with a team full of Keiths

[@jt19933]

Despite all of these "losses" 6:45 you really meant Rosses

[@Billy-cu8zg]

I done this myself but with only people with the first name Ross. Let’s just say it was a lot harder than I thought

[@jonnyromanbyYork6616]

My challenge for you for your next video is to manage Sunderland but buy under 21 players only but only and I’ll allow two over 21 age players for the entire challenge. To see you can be better than Beale and Dodds performance

[@benwright7023]

You should do a similar video with Aberdeen picking only players called Dean,

[@erethjallsen8819]

This is one of the stupidest ideas I’ve ever heard of. Brilliant work Tom, loved the video ❤

[@connorgunalose]

you should do more one name challenges but also make it so the staff have the name too

[@jimibaboza]

Ross passes to Ross, high ball to Ross, Ross takes a shot!

[@maxcarroll8316]

Ross scores what an assist by Ross tucked away by Ross, Ross would never would have missed from there Ross county lead

[@joelsjogren9888]

Maybe do a rebuild of IFK Göteborg the only team from scandinavia to win a european trophy so far

[@JoshuaKirev-10]

Next time you should do an experiment where you make every player in the prem 200 ability and see who wins the prem

[@SGMiner21]

Here's an idea for the next one - Win the Premier League at Sheffield Wednesday only using players born on a Wednesday (little bit easier but unique)

[@ogz90]

I wonder how many times Tom say Ross in entire video... I'm sure it was over 1000 but maybe over 5000??

[@samul999]

As a Scottish guy, the way you pronounce Kilmarnock is funny 😂

[@2pacalypsenow]

Ross from Friends lifts the SPL

[@chrissao_502]

The One Where Ross Wins the SPL

[@andrewhuller435]

Rossi wasn’t the first Ross to score, another one scored early on in the season.

[@reneborges6733]

Have you done a Catalan only ? From 3rd division to Champions League title?

[@FozzQuaker]

Just a shame Keith arent playable in FM, you coulda played as them with players only named Keith

Please do same concept with IFK Göteborg and win domestic Leauge and only sign players named Glenn.

[@BitsofLeeds]

Some Ross county recognition

[@Ghost1218]

Banger Video

[@NeonLightsX12Studios]

You should try to do a nothing but strikers run. See if a team can win a major trophy with only strikers as the players. Like the anime bluelock

[@keenanhatch5664]

"Boss the Ross till Ross the Boss" Challenge.

[@gashendxyz]

Maybe after this video, you can build a team using St. Johnstone but only using player with John, Johnson and Johnstone name. That'll be interesting!😅
