10-Minute Guide to Football Manager

I once made an entire playlist about how to play Football Manager but now I will try to make the same tutorial in 10 minutes. A short video that is all you need to watch in order to start playing and enjoying FM. I suppose this guide in particular is the sum total of my work on this channel, the reason I started making YouTube videos, to make Football Manager accessible.

This is for people that have never played Football Manager before, if you have which is probably a lot of you, then hopefully it helps orient you. May I recommend all the other guides on this channel to help further your knowledge once you finish this. This video is a gateway drug to the full Zealand experience, or something.

Much Love,
FM Senpai

You have no idea how much this has helped me to take Onsala BK to the Swedish fourth division title.

me sitting here knowing i have over 1000 hours on fm23 alone but still think i could learn something from this video just because its zealand:)

Me with 2.5k hours on fm: interesting...

One thing I recommend to anyone just starting out is to play along with a youtuber. Open the game, pick a youtuber/streamer you can stand to listen to for 10s of hours and find one of their career modes. I used Lollujo to start, with Zealand supplementing anything I had questions on. And then do a lot of the same shit they do throughout their videos. Sign staff when they sign staff, search for players when they search for players maybe sell someone when they do. And eventually you'll get to a point where you start disagreeing with whatever youtuber you're watching. The moment that happens, start trusting your own intuition. Maybe a centerback they sold seems like they're going to be important in your save, then keep em. And keep making decisions alongside your youtuber until your save starts to look super different or you feel like the pace of the videos is too slow for how you wanna play. Then go for it, just play the game. And there you are. You won't be fully knowledgeable about the game but you will 100% feel confident enough to continue playing or to start a new save.

The intro about feeling overwhelmed and quoting immediately hit so close to home. I downloaded the game on a free trial after seeing some videos about it thinking “This is what I have always wanted” within an hour I closed the game and didn’t even try again for a year until I bought the full game.

I got the game less than 2 weeks ago and already have played 150 hours on Steam. Your guides have been really helpful for a new player who doesn't know anything about football!

[Ryangers]

I’m currently switching from playing the mobile game for 10 years to PC, it’s so much more in depth so this is definitely needed!

Loving the American Tier list. Up from the 7th tier to the 3rd and making a great campaign to move up to the 2nd in the 11th season. Ty for all the guides!

[Mark_Underwood]

I came across your channel a couple of months ago and the videos really helped me want to start FM23. Also being on Gamepass and FIFA 23 career mode being too easy i wanted that challenge and its been fun. Managing as Crawley has been 'Difficult' but love the vids anyway!

[nosalis]

after wtching this, I feel like I would want something between this and Fifa manager mode, great video

For £39ish this game have got to be the best money to fun expensive in gaming.

The frustration and elation that comes from FM is unparalleled.

There is a steep learning curve but it is rewarding once you understand the mechanics

[yellayettithemythical]

Playing fm for 12 years now. Every year a bunch of us get together and do up a Lan session and it has been the mpst fun for years honestly play with mates it's so much better.

[Cyanidex]

8 months ago i got the game, installed it played it for 30 minutes, uninstalled it because i was overwhelmed, reinstalled it a few days later played for an hour, uninstalled again. reinstalled a week later and now have 1700 hours in the game. . .

[MravacKid]

Hell, I started playing the game back in the mid-90s with Championship Manager Italia and really got into it in '97 when CM97/98 came out, and I still get overwhelmed with the latest editions of the game. :)

[thatothercarguy]

Been waiting for this for so long, taken Cheltenham Town up to the championship but I’m starting to struggle with injuries and tactics

[Piroschatz]

Great video but let me do a small addition 🙂
Staff --> Open the "Contract" tab with the little arrow --> Custom --> Customize current view --> Enable "Rating"
Now you can see his stars and you won´t hire new coaching staff with lesser stars.

Thank you, just because of you I was finally able to win League One with City

[aodhanjone]

Been watching FM videos for long time finally got FM23 and started on my Asia manager career with Melbourne city this year. Loaded the Saudi league too along with all the Asian leagues and it's actually really fun tryna get Melbourne city to win the Asian champions league against the Saudi teams with benzema and Mahrez type talents. Also funny how the best player currently being bought by Saudi team is caicedo in my current safe for almost £110mso maybe FM predicting something in the future?🤔

I’m only on console at the moment but I found Brighton was a good team to start with. Decent squad and budget

If your new to fm manager I would recommend starting playing fm mobile first then work your way up
