Swansea with 4 points and 12 goals after 23 games is incredible.

[@lewisshearer359]

It's somehow worse than that one Derby County prem season

[@Ceriummm]

It's pretty true to real life for us, tbh

[@spsawyer22]

There was a season in one of my fm20 saves that a team in the Bundesliga only got 8 pts for the whole season Lowest I've seen on a non editored save

[@jamesdelisle3555]

Cardiff have 2 points after 17 with a -38 differential (50 allowed!) in my main save, 2032... I am a Swansea fan, so I feel obligated to defend our honor XD South Wales derby this weekend! Doube doube time!

[@downtheline190]

I’ve seen 1 point on my Cardiff met uni save from penybont 🤣

[@IlyaBabansky]

Hi! I am managing Wrexham from the first save! I have sacrificed a couple of games to rest most of the main team and we have managed to pull a great end of the season, with a couple of role tweaks, ended up in 10th place and winning the Conf League. Next season finished 2nd in the Prem just 1 point behind Liverpool. Seems like tiredness was the biggest issue but with more people in the squad and cup rotation problem seems to be fixed, now I can actually be in attacking mentality without everyone tired. And yes, Swansea ended up being hopelessly relegated with a grand total of 14 points and -67 GD.

[@reyflash12]

I had team in football manager in the premier league end with -4 points . The session this happened the team I was playing as won the league

[@Lucaz99]

I’m impressed Swansea got 10 points in the remaining matches. Still terrible because they would only have 20 points if they had got the same amount of points as they did in the last half of the season. Also congratulations, it’s not that easy!

Just got promoted to la Liga in my second season in la Coruña. First save I ever play in Europe since it's hard for me to get attached to European teams. I've been grinding the hell out of my first transfer window so I don't get stomped out of the league, great timing with this vid professor z.

Won the championship with Coventry in my first season, but getting absolutely hammered in the Prem. 11 games in and 4 points! I needed this

as a Swansea fan the first save caused my physical pain

[@jamesdelisle3555]

Worry not, it is 2032 in my current save, Cardiff have been promoted for the first time since 2019, have given up 50 goals so far (Woodman in goal), and have 2 points after 17 games. And we are going to get the doube this weekend!

[@SoccerScenarios]

This is still such a great idea for a series. Love every single one. Long live SYS!

[@thebiglebrowski3695]

I have the weirdest situation currently. Nacional de Madeira in Portugal, been promoted since the first season, had one rocky season and then since then been top 4 consistently. I can get to the latter stages of the Champions League, knocked Manchester City out last season, but I have yet to win the Portugese league. The fixture congestion absolutely kills me and I can't keep enough players happy to have a big enough squad to compete. Really grinding my gears.

[@PhoenixDevil7737]

This series is goated

[@g4ddos]

Conference League being a walk in the park compared to the Premier League really isn't that confusing. Even hampionships teams have much bigger budgets than just about all of the teams in there...

[@mattjames6349]

Also the Norway one made me laugh because I started in the 4th tier and now after successive promotions I'm still semi-pro! It is admittedly only my 3rd season but still that's funny that he's got a 5th tier one that has turned pro! The Taunton town one simply sounds like he's panicked after all those goals going in and maybe overcompensated? Which is understsndable but you have an oout when you do get the ball. That's the way i see it. Personally if I didn't have a playmaker I might have played 2 carillero's and set my wing backs on complete wingbacks and used my most attacking wide players there even if they are wingers and set my team to play to play wide and focus absolutely everything down the wings?

On the Ireland save. I in similar situation with N Ireland. I sold a player for 15mill and Glentoran got half cos of 50% sell on. Gunna do that all the time now even if just selling players for 1 mill.

[@lfc_jw8504]

I am SO happy Z covered a build a nation in Ireland because I just did a long term save with UCD. To build up Ireland, it is exactly what Z said. The key is sign free agents/end of contracts that can either be used in the B team for weekly friendlies or loaned to other clubs in Ireland. The only downside is having to schedule a million friendlies every season. And depending on how much money you have, you may need to work on a wage structure so you don’t overpay on wages.

[@knappster1754]

Segundo Volante is a role I never would have thought about using. Way too fancy for me. Anyway, my saves going great, thanks for all the tips.

[@jordza2k11]

I've had the same issue as the Irish team, doing a fantasy database mixing Latvia/Gibraltar and my teams at the point (even doing a free deals only challenge i.e. only wages paid in loans and frees) where even if someones phased out they're not wanting to go to other teams in the country, I will say though eventually not playing makes them want to go eventually and its made the league stronger where I've the best team even in just season 2 led by older names like Papiss Cisse, Paul-Georges Ntep and Steven Davis I'm only 4th as the teams above me all took my scraps... I will say this, trial literally anyone you know is on the fringes of your team at minimum, even if not good enough for you it eventually gets the other teams to look at them themselves

[@davidlocke5016]

The last guy is definitely signing the right players! I started in the lower leagues of Norway too. The first signing I see for him is now my best player - Thomas Elsebutangen. Havard Meinseth also great even in tier 3.

In the lower leagues in early points in the save try and sign loans from Wrexham, they have some great players available from loan (e.g Butler) who can carry your defense and midfield throughout the beginning

[@Derek-qu8qi]

Zealand. You missed a decent intro to your video. Celtic (champions again ole ole) had an Indian called Mohamed Salim in 1936. He played a handful of exhibition matches in BARE FEET. He even scored a penalty. Celtic (champions again ole ole) asked him to remain for the season but he was homesick. Celtic (champions again ole ole) arranged a charity match and offered him 5% of the gate. He told Celtic to donate it (£1800) to local orphans.

Guys where can I upload my save, or get help from anywhere? I genuinely think my save is bugged. I am managing in Turkish 3rd division, league rules prevent signing ANY foreign players. I chose Sunday league rep and no coaching badges to make it harder, but, relative to the Turkish 3rd division, my rep won’t be that much lower. Board expectation is top 6, we are 8th currently. I have just won 3-0, and cohesion, dressing room atmosphere and managerial support have all dropped to the point where if I go on holiday I get sacked every time. There must be more to it - it’s genuinely soul destroying as this is my first fm23 save, looking at any guide online regarding dynamics as I know it’s vital, but I think my save is bugged - but I don’t know who to share my save with? If anyone can help, it would save this player from quitting the game!

[@Marcel_KAAAA]

Dear Zeland, i need you and your team to find out which attributes effects on direct freekicks. Is it free kick only? what about technique? I think finnishing and Long shots could also have an impact. What about Strength? Also the effect of 10, 15 and 20 freekicks could be relevant Thanks a lot - would be nice to see a good setup.

[@CG_Gaming_BCFC]

it will depend on a few factors, who the free kick taker is, what their finishing, free kick taking and decisions are [mainly] and how good the opposition goalkeeper and defence are

[@Marcel_KAAAA]

@@CG_Gaming_BCFC yes so we need a setup with average goalkeepers but different attributes for the freekick takers

[@mattjames6349]

also don't forget about the guys who you send forward. you want them to great anticipation and acceleration to capitalise on any saves or rebounds. I wouldn't have thought speed would be as important as acceleration because it's well such a short distance?

[@pbh81]

Composure is important for a Free kick taker. Small players with high anticipation can be deadly when winning the knock down/ loose balls from the big men

Is this the first Saving Saves without the 'Loans' song 🎤 I'm slightly traumatised 😂

[@Remianen]

That first one seems like someone tinkered with a downloaded tactic without knowing what they wanted to accomplish. Aside from the really bad #10 role and the DMs too far up the pitch and the mismatched WBs, the mentality is just off. Seems like he was getting over on sheer force of superior talent. Problem is, once you get to the top flight (in ANY league), EVERYONE has access to superior talent so your advantage evaporates. Now you have to win by actually beating other teams on the pitch and not just on paper. But seriously, having a playmaker (at ANY position) with 10 passing is indicative of a lot, as far as building a tactic. The Taunton save is a good example. Without knowing what the roles are supposed to do, it seems like they just started grasping at straws and changing duties willy nilly. Heck, I'm more of an (American) football fan and even I know that three strikers up top are still going to need service of some kind. I mean, how do you say you want a park the bus tactic without saying you want a park the bus tactic?
