Complete Guide to FM23's Squad Planner

[@TomFM]

What do you guys think of the squad planner?

[@aayushxetteri6750]

looks good so far

[@Quintendejong123]

I'm not massive at it tbh

[@ianbanks3016]

The kind of feature people will use once or twice and then never use again once the tedious novelty of it has worn off. It really just repackages features already in the game, not a feature that really improves gameplay

[@erickbarbosa2935]

nothing new, but it's a huge improvement over squad depth

[@MGG__25]

Comprehensive breakdown 👍

[@marcusrashid]

Me personally this is such a good thing. I love the integration of the scouting and the planner. Also the interface looks nice and a bit refreshed.

[@SkinnzFM]

This is 100% something I've needed, the amount of saves I do where I end up with 6 strikers because I didn't plan well is astonishing.

[@TomFM]

I think it will become more handy than people initially think!

[@markhuxtable1376]

Just discovered you videos. I've been playing football managers games for 15 years plus, but after watching your videos my success rate has really improved 😁 thank Tom

[@hamishmcdog48]

Zealand didn't seem to think it was very useful but II have a feeling I'll use it quite a bit. Nice video Tom!

[@domnelson5063]

Zealand hates FM now

[@kevinb9830]

@@domnelson5063 he's just more honest and not shilling.

[@T.E.S.S.]

great video Tom. I was already looking forward to the squad planner, and I like the look of it even more now.

[@gluestix17]

as someone always looking at how my squad is made up this will actually be really useful

[@lucasharvey-smith4175]

So no set piece coach as pretty much everyone wanted ???

[@AaronTheGreat________]

Everyone? I couldn’t care ha

[@johnodaz1273]

Brilliant video Tom. Yh this is gonna come in really handy Indeed 👌👍.

[@TomFM]

Thanks Johno, glad you enjoyed!

[@johnodaz1273]

@@TomFM you are welcome man and definitely 😃

[@robertvries1]

Nice vid, cheers.

[@salmannaqvi6090]

Is there is a way for locking a particular player in starting 11 like for example i want a young dm to be the part for my team selections everytime when i click quick pick so that i can give him maximum game time for his development

[@johnstrac]

Loving Joe Walsh, has life been good to him so far ?

[@stevenollier64]

Have they fixed the celebrating or not celebrating a goal during a VAR review. Indicating whether it'll stand before the decision

[@kofiramseyarthur4391]

The squad planner is all cool and awesome BUT do we get 5 subs???

[@psv-7071]

Squad planner is Nice to have but not more than that

[@hiyabissack9588]

hey FM gang, i need help with this ->i dont have any stars on my squad planner, its just the names nothing else cant see ability or anything. how did i change the view? Thanks

[@hakeemtatia7164]

question: on squad planner, if you remove a player from a position how can you add him back to the same position … ex if you wanted to return Ted Bishop to the position you ”erased” him from, how would you do it?

[@zezaovlr]

There's a ADD Button

[@MrRokkit]

_Might_ be useful for: - Players who change club a lot - Players who play so infrequently they forget who's who when they load up saves - Players who suffer from amnesia ...otherwise, it's development time wasted on bells and whistles that could have been invested in fixing set pieces, international management or any other area badly needing attention.

[@coyootje]

I agree, if you really wanted to you could achieve a very basic version of the squad planner using the squad depth screen already. The only benefit of the squad planner is the additional years + the shortlist but I personally don't see those additions as useful ones for me.

[@MrRokkit]

@@coyootje Ha yep. If there's any FM players out there that can accurately plan either a transfer or youth player that will be in the team 2 years from now, they're much better than me!

[@billmiller2368]

How do you view trial players in squad planner?

[@morepork281]

Positive development. It's going to need a bit of tweaking though. I'd like an option to allow players whose contracts are currently due to expire to be shown rather than them just being omitted because their current deal is up before next season. Sometimes a player can still potentially be very much in your plans but you are holding off on a new deal for one reason of another. Unless you can confirm that's already an option under filter?

[@TomFM]

I agree, I'd like for them to perhaps be shown in Red for the first season they're out of contract, make it that more visually obvious that player isn't there next season. You can actually add a player out of contract to the next season, but there's nothing about it that indicates they're out of contract.

[@matttias3]

I barely used it. I still to my note pad method, However the squad view with current best and future best is handy. However.....I've reached the end of season 1 with my foggia side and the squad planner is barely useable. For some reason it includes about 2382323232322 players that I firstly don't recall ever adding to the squad planner, havent been on trial etc, an for the most part are like 37-44 years old strangely and obviously half a star at best. The processing just to load the squad planner up is ridiculous. Worst of all the only way to remove these players from the look of it is the individually go through each player, in each position, in each formation and hit the - icon. I've given up. Shame. Is there something obvious i'm missing? Confused why these players even make my squad planner as it is, an certainly don't recall scouting them. In fact I intetionally scout 28 years old as max age for the most part.

[@acfChris]

Up the fucking IMPS 😍 We’re absolutely stacked in MC this season. That’s rather a lot of wasted real estate on the screen without the columns being customisable.

[@JustMyFish]

Problem is you go through the whole thing plan your squad get it all sorted and it does not save 🤬

[@nikolai1714]

The squad planner doesn't show any players at my save

[@kevinb9830]

I'm not paying £40 for a squad planner.

[@dheerajronaldo]

Doesn't seem to be in fm23 console edition

[@jamiep1992]

is this the beta and his it out already?

[@nighthawk6692]

alpha for youtubers, beta is out next week

[@ryanmarshall9088]

Seems like a retextured squad depth page. Some additions but not revolutionary

[@jb0609]

Not impressed

[@lokicats]

OK vid. Not sure I like how you dressed up old features Zealand regularly highlighted over the last few years as new. Burns your credibility.

[@TomFM]

I'd say 90% of the things in the squad planner are new.

[@lokicats]

@@TomFM It has tied it together well. Desperately needed
