Do I play this game? No. Do I know this guy? No. Did I just bench over 2h enjoying every second? Yes! Well done 😁

[@TomFM]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@KW-ng8nd]

​@@TomFM same experience for me, never watched or played FM but this was an incredible journey. Great pacing.

As an Argentinian, I can confirm we dont have a clue how the league works now

[@dislexyc]

I had something similar happen in my save Ask nearby team from the first division for a couple loans All rejected because my team isn't good enough 2 years later, Braga is fighting for 10th place while I'm in Europe The first loan offer from them that I accepted came 8 years after that. I felt bad for them at that point

[@dislexyc]

Oh and I bought the manager's son and put him in my B team playing in the regional leagues 😂

[@chimsuaumo]

I love how Tihad play in a massive stadium with no spectators. It brings back memories of a HK fourth tier save I done once.

[@JoshuaBilling-of7mc]

One of those strange coincidences in KZbin where you read a comment just as the creator says that quote

[@mac11gaming88]

I've heard of this before 😂😂😂

[@Sigurdur5]

​@@rugbyfan9225 Happens to me all the time, but it happening in a 2 hour video is kinda crazy

[@betor99]

The mexican league part was quite interesting, so in the final you stated you would have won due to league position but that rule is waved for the final alone. Also realistically if you lost a final to chivas in america your job would have been gone immediately specially if you did it twice. loved the video tho.

[@e_eyster]

Now run it back. Same save, but from five different nations, all that have coefficients below where you won it from the first time.

[@oscarlewis-perrins1343]

He’s already said no 1 million times because national team managing in fm is crap

[@Russ1anMatt]

​@@oscarlewis-perrins1343I don't think he meant do the same with national teams. He just wants exactly this series, but with different clubs

[@negmaster3928]

@@oscarlewis-perrins1343that’s not what he meant btw, countries which have a lower standing in their respective continents. For example managing into the Norwegian First Division for champions league instead of going to Italy like he did in this

[@corbanblakemore5730]

Never played football manager or watched any vids, just hovered over your vid and got sucked into it, loved the entire 2hours and 11minutes

[@AlexDellanzo1]

I've got the maddest coincidence ever, I thought Max Quelch-Woolls was an unique name for a regen but there's actually a player in the Sunday league I play in with the exact name

[@DiegoGarcia-ry5id]

I paused the video for a couple hours because I stepped aside to do some stuff. I came back and read this comment exactly when a result from a game where he scored was being shown. The meta-coincidence.

2:07:33 "But Moron, was a moron" One of the greatest quotes ever 💀

[@shisoyrown]

The Argentine First Division League slogan is: "Don't try to understand it. Enjoy it."

[@UndisputedAmz]

Took 20 seasons to complete it as I included Oceania as part of the challenge that I won the CL with a New Caledonian team within 2 seasons then builded my rep in Malaysia/Australia/Uruguay/Portugal then won a clean sweep in Mexico then did the impossible job with Boca as I sold half of the squad due to debt then took 3 seasons to win the CL with Shanghai Shenhua as it was very hard despite a massive budget of half a billion then took a year off and won everything in Morocco then somehow got the Bayern job who were the best team in the world in 2040s as I completed the challenge.

[@andrewvanvalkenburg7407]

One word: dedication. Nice one!

[@trevorgibb1019]

I don't even know what football manager is other than a video game. But this full movie of yours had me transfixed! Thanks and well done on your great achievement.

[@thomasfrost3087]

I’ve taken this on. Never done it before. January 2031 and two down. Africa and North America. ENPPI in 2029 and América in 2030. Took over ATP in Brazil after 15 games with us 2nd bottom. Ended up finishing 4th and winning the Copa Sudamericana, so we’re in the Copa Libertadores for 2031.

[@TheSilentScreamX]

Hey Tom, you inspired me to give this a go myself. I've started with Milford FC in South Africa. Got promoted in 2nd place in my first season, then came 2nd behind Sundowns in my first Prem season. I don't think I'm going to be able to win the African CL with Milford, my wage budget is only like 10% of the big African teams, but my strong league performances and two domestic cup wins have boosted my rep nicely, so I'm hoping to get a better job offer soon.

[@computer.game.player]

I started with Venda FC and won the league with like 73 points, I got SUPER lucky and Orlando Pirates had a terrible season and sacked their manager. I got the job only because of how bad they were. First season got 2nd, then season 3 I won the league by 15 points but lost in the Champions League semi to.... Sundowns (who I beat 3 times in a row in the season). I think it's going to be super hard to beat the Egyptian teams!! And your players always want to leave in Africa!!!

[@nemulodiomphulusaglen]

Kaizer Chiefs just lost to Milford in real life 😂

[@shaunakmukherjee5038]

I was so invested in this, well done Tom! What a series.

[@wasen_aeon]

I have a fun challenge to suggest but it may be a bit long: Win the league in every country in Europe, starting from the lowest ranked league and working your way up towards Premier League.

[@amethyphoenix]

There's 54 nations in Europe, and 53 that have leagues. That is indeed a tall order, especially if you make a fantasy league for Liechtenstein, in which case, that'd push it up to 54. Either way, that is very long indeed.

[@listey]

You should do it and post it on your channel. I'd be interested to see it.

[@amethyphoenix]

@@listey I dunno who you're directing that towards

[@listey]

@@amethyphoenix I thought it was obvious

Thoroughly good watch, really enjoyed this past 2 hours or so. Great video mate. You have yourself a new subscriber

[@adrialladomendoza8940]

WHAT A VIDEO!!! watched every second as if it was a movie! Great job, amazing content. If I could recommend a challenge it would be the pentagon challenge but you must win with the first team of the continent that hires you!!!

[@ozztelorman7057]

That Internazionale jersey caught me off guard 😂 Incredible journey, very well done. I'm thinking of starting a new career on the new FM, thanks to you 😇

[@scottchapman3937]

i only intended on skipping through this to see who you completed it with but ended up watching the whole thing. Great job Sir.

[@problemas10]

Great video you popped up out of nowhere on my recommend and really caught my attention with this video 🙌🔥

[@Pop_Update]

Great challenge, if you want to make it more difficult next time download the Antarctica megapack and see if you can win the Antarctica Champions League

I meant Oceanica sorry

Penguin fc vs polar bear fc is a cold matchup 🥶

crazy effort, amazing video good job man, you deserve every like there is on youtube

[@abdulgrr]

I never heard of your channel before and also I can't even watch 1 hour episode of tv series but for some reason I watched this whole video without getting bored. Nice job.

[@rockandrollbit]

I haven’t played FM for a long time and your videos have me itching to get back into it. Keep up the entertainment my man.

[@scottydee6999]

Jack be loving that your using his music for park to prem in the background... only noticed around the Milan save 🤣🤣 was wondering when I was going to hear the "I'm out" phrase

[@christycullen2355]

I've never really been a football manager fan, but I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Definitely subbed

[@brianbru]

Really enjoyed this one, Tom. Thanks for all the effort in making this for us.

[@djchrisbaillie]

I’m finding my self addicted to these videos. And I haven’t played football manager in years. Would love to see you try and win all the international competitions in each confederation and then finish with the World Cup.

[@chiedoziemegwuatu9724]

The Script writer for his Fm career went crazy!, bro got to beat Arsenal his former employers, got revenge for arsenal against united and then beat thier rivals tottenham. Then his final conti cup final was against the team he used as a pawn

[@Fumikor]

Your multi-foreign league career videos are always so much fun to watch. I literally bought FM2024 after this one.

[@mattwhite1244]

I never thought I’d be this invested in a football sim video. Excellent presentation.

[@JesusTorres-sg8jl]

If i remember correctly, the finals in Mexico take away the league standing rule. That one goes to extra time/pens if necessary

[@Nunnaldo]

One of the best things I've spent 2 and a bit hours watching. Gripped??!!! Great stuff and congratulations

[@ozsarkadir]

Wonderful video Tom. I cannot believe I have watched the whole 2 hours. I have been playing manager games since CM03/04 and never even attempted this challenge before. I have always tried to create challenges within Europe. I was wondering, what was the database choice (mid, large) and which leagues you have choose? It must be really slow to progress with every league turned on while creating the save.

[@comojannalifc]

Great video. Like many I stumbled upon this having never played FM properly (since ultimate soccer manager 99 that is) Looks great - don’t think there is an issue with an over 2 hour video but as a tip I watched it at 1.25x and it takes nothing away from the production. Great content

[@nojzib8965]

What are ur mods can you send a link to all of them?

[@zakirkhodabocus9181]

You an absolute fm legend one of the most enjoying video on fm u made me start this challenge too

Dortmund vs Real Madrid in the final is very eerie. Entertaining video, didnt think id spend over 2 hours watching it but it just hooks you in.

[@dimitriskechagias8924]

Amazing challenge congrats , but you should tell us how you managed to upload some nations that are not by default in game , i tried to do it as well but the game doesnt want to load them , like make a guide of how to do what you did more or less xD

I really love this format. A nice overview of the challenge, no need to sit through 100 boring episodes, like other KZbinrs. Keep up the great work!

[@mrtrappedchest7160]

I feel like a good idea would be to do a manager career with Moon, rebuilding the clubs he played for

[@AndiBraun93]

I did a pentagon challenge in FM22 and I just don't think the game is designed to roam around smaller leagues for several years. Took me 6 years to CAF CL, mercifully short 4 months to AFC CL, 3 years CONCACAF, 4 years Copa Libertadores and then only 6-7 months UEFA (got the ManCity job right away) with an aging Haaland. I don't regret the save, actually I'm still playing in that save, but I think other challenges are more interesting.

[@aqua_noodle]

I loved the Korean redemption arch. Always have a soft spot for them and seeing Moon go that far was heartwarming

[@zoeykeller9083]

Great video. How long did it take you to finish this series?

[@carlitomilan235]

sensational journey! How long did it take you to complete all the above (in real time)?

[@jorgesilva5685]

Only missing Oceania, for the Hexagon challenge. But great video! Doing a similar challenge here too

[@aslaninfinity]

I would like to challenge you @TomFM. Become 10th in the league with 10 different teams. 10 times in a row.
