The Football Manager Beginners Guide

The goal of this channel at the beginning was to teach people how to play Football Manager. I have attempted a beginner’s tutorial system before but I now feel like I have the resources to turn FM21 into the first FM I do a full tutorial for. This Football Manager guide will be a series that covers every major part of the game from how it’s set up to how to build a championship team and make money in FM. I will release roughly one a week for all of yall to follow along and enjoy, and hopefully pick up some FM tips!

Let me know what sections of FM21 should be included in the guide! Football Manager for Beginners is something I want to repeat probably every 2 years to ease new players into the FM universe, so you have a chance to guide what is important in this, well, guide. I know for sure we will do squads, attributes, tactics, match management, set pieces, scouting, staff, dynamics, and board. If there is another aspect of Football Manager that isn’t there let me know!

Much Love,
FM Senpai

I've played this game nearly every day for the past 10 years. Will I gain anything from this video? Probably not. Will I drop everything to immediately watch it? Yes

[raulzaiek]

Thanks bro!! Spent all my life playing FIFA and now I have FM20, without knowing how to play. Looking forward to the series.

"I spend my life, basically playing Football Manager"

Oh man, this statement slammed me hard in the face cause I realized how much true it is for me too. I have a classic job and I do the same.

[andrewshearer]

Been playing for about 17 years now and still feeling the need to watch this video..

[lewisday]

Been playing since FM07 but still feel the need to watch this

[vijaymueller]

That Moracco jersey is triggering me because they are literally one of only two jobs I've ever been fired from in FM

Some video ideas: (videas?)
-Do a play-along save. Basically you set up a save, with a team, leagues loaded, all the settings etc for a starter save, upload the file to steam, and we can play along and compare our results to yours at the end of the season. It would be interesting to see how different the season can go from the same start.
-Retrospectives of old football manager games, of course start with championship manager, but also check out LMA manager, player manager, ultimate soccer manager, fifa manager, premier manager etc. Some of those games were so much better than championship manager, I often wonder how amazing they'd be if they'd carried on making them. At the time some of their graphics were comparable to the FIFA and PES games of the same year. Imagine an FM with FIFA level graphics!

As a guy from Croatia, i really wanted to learn FM. After 2 years i pick up on the game(FM21) and, better for me, Zealand begins with Croatian club. Also i got a game on a random giveaway and i never actually played it.
Great videos btw.

[DRock]

Im not even a beginner of FM but im still gonna watch these.

[Derekstefan]

I definitely needed this video to stop me from just quick starting.

[zanderbev]

Played fm since 2013 but even now this was helpful for someone who has played a lot. Cheers as always Z

[TheBrooner]

The FM database is so huge that I was in it one year😭😂

[Argooh]

I only play the Hong Kong league these days. I lived in Yuen Long for a few years and actually trained with some of the players back in the day.

I live in Wales now and walk round with my Yuen Long football top on and I feel like I may be the only person in the UK that has a Yuen Long football strip.

Thank you Wizard of Z, you are the best. The one lucky thing that happened to me because if the pandemic is that I've had the time to listen to your videos. The more I learn about Football Manager, the more I enjoy it.

[Viantra]

Shout out from Hong Kong, this video mentioned "Hong Kong" more time then I could ever imagine happening in a FM video

[TheBdougs]

I feel like a weirdo because I just got into FIFA for the first time because I've been playing Football Manager.

[gamewithgreg]

It's brilliant that you picked a team where the manager was sentenced to 4 years in prison. It's like you were his natural successor.

[davidwood]

Used to play Championship manager many moons ago, but as it has got more and more complicated I have drifted away from playing it. Now looking to actually take time and learn again and this will no doubt be a great help.

[TyroneCarl]

Your videos are the opposite of how my football manager saves go, they're free flowing, easy to understand and don't make me want to throw my mouse out the window after 4 matches with consecutive red cards and penalties

[swifteh]

I'm so happy I found this video. I started my first ever game aaaand then hit a brick wall. Thanks so much for holding my hand thought that first initial set up - it helped me immensely
