How to Be Good at Football Manager

I make a lot of guides and tutorials about Football Manager, but it’s time to answer a simple question in one simple(r) video. How do you get better at Football Manager? Well, look no further! I have sunk my life into playing this game and I have the tactic tips, transfer tips, morale tips, and some other tips to get you from fired to champion. At the very least, you’ll be better after watching this video. It’s really just a lot of tips. That’s the backup title of the video.

Seriously, I felt like I have been making a lot of fun videos about entertaining things, but I hadn’t made a good, hard-core tutorial in a while. These are my bread and butter, helping people get better at FM. I guess I never have to make another tutorial again though because this basically sums it all up. Maybe I should start playing a different game or something, and make tutorials about that. Just kidding, I can’t quit the addiction. Happy FMing.

Much Love,
FM Senpai

Just watched this video and my skill has reached such transcendent levels that Miles just called me to personally apologise for making the game too easy

[inextremis]

This is why Zealand is my favorite FM guy, he actually puts some thought into very important aspects of the game like tactics, scouting, morale and doesn't just treat it as a clicker game. Even though I don't agree with some of his decisions (mainly on tactics), I respect that a lot.

[tailofbud]

Followed this advice and just took Woking from the National League to the Champions League in 6 seasons. Hope it doesn’t go unnoticed.

cheers Zealand just won the ucl with derby county in my 2nd season of fm22

[andreiferariu]

I think it boils down to being aware of what's working and what's not and to create correlations between the numbers and stats on screen with results. That's it.

[qshkqn]

I literally stopped playing FM for eight months, today I had a tingling feeling to get back on, and boom

[jamesmcshane]

I think this might be the single best video I have ever watched on fm. Incredibly complicated and diverse sections of the game broken down simply. Bravo.

[elmorgano]

I always seem to find a lot of joy playing a big, strong, good header of the ball alongside a very quick forward. It's a classic but I've had more joy with that than a pure pace strike force. That's my experience and likely because of how I set up, interesting to see how many people find joy with just pace up front.

[Hammerage]

Oh my god, I have 1200h in FM21 and 400h in FM22, and when praising players I've always:
Right clicked a player -> Interaction -> Speak about -> Praise Player -> Praise Training/Development.
I never knew there was a shortcut. I'm in tears.

I did a save as Southampton (trying to keep them in the league being realistic selling players and negotiating if a bigger team came in) in the first season my main goal was to stay up, and I played the same 442 diamond, with Che Adams playing as an AF/DLF, I went after Julian Alvarez as a striker who could be reliable finishing now as AF, and looking for good young players to develop, but due to the lack of money, other than trying to sell of the many many many wingers they have I ended up not signing many other players as I felt most of the team matched what I was trying to do (JWP on BBM, Armstrong as AP, Livramento as a WB, Walker Peters stepping in when 1 of the fullbacks got tired)
I loaned some young players to get a feel for them but didn’t really sign them, I got Anel because he’s lanky and scored headers
The next year due to success in cup runs, a solid PL finish, and cashing in on some of the options you have (VVD sell on, Mane sell on etc)
I had a fair bit of money to spend, I noticed Barca rejected Demir, so I managed to get him for around 7/8 million, on solid wages in year 2 to play that AP role
I also got Lucca, Omar Richards (baller for 1.5mil) Romo (DM - DLP), Djimisti for cheap, and another young loan for a Mezzala
In the end mixed with Ward Prowses set piece ability, having Lucca, Djimisti and Anel we scored headers and got europe

[SimersFM]

Really good video here, fully agree about the progression timeline. Always find it odd when people ask if they should get players for a specific tactic whilst not having great players already. FM is quite easy if you just take your time and continue to make sound decisions.

[jsedi]

Been playing FM since the first iteration and this still felt fresh and informative. Great video!

[Jurigag]

Yea, i finally also created some good tactic which keeps the great balance between offensive and defensive. It's asymetrical 4-1-3-2 with wide midfielders on support or attack and inverted wings backs using roaming playmaker in middle on right side as defensive midfielder and central midfielder on attack, and the right back - inverted wing back on defensive, and on left side inverted wing back on support. The other roles don't actually matter too much.

[HerbalHairbear]

Not watched the video but if this isn't 17 minutes of him singing 'loans' I'll be shocked and disappointed

[nialld]

Thanks for the content. I’ve recently just got fm22( I had lots of study so I didn’t buy it until now) I noticed when you start a new game you can’t get rid of all coaches and staff you don’t want, this used to be an option years ago and was handy so you could change everything at the beginning, now they want compensation for termination, suppose it makes sense in real world 😂

[gipsymiroband]

My friend, I have noticed that you have a lot of slovakians in your team. For this reason, I want to give you the correct pronounciations, as I am from the czechoslovakia region.

Balaz - Ba-la-sh
Ilko - il-ko

Sestak - She-stak
Simko - Shim-ko

[thextrmist]

praising players match performances and training after a prolonged period of time becomes less effective on morale I think. give them a boost every now and then but not all the time.

[syazwankz]

me too got some playing time issues. i share some of my tricks to avoid some of them got to disagree with their playing time.
1. every early season, try to reduce their playing time, for example, if a star player reduces to a squad player/regular player.
2. I make my training harder or double intensity, so some of them will get injury time.
3. rotation.

cheers.

My FM history is a tale of two types.

If I am managing a top team, I honestly feel like I have broken the game. I have never not won the league as a top team(Barca, RM, Athletic, the top6, Bayern etc.) and trebles and even invincible seasons are fairly common. But the moment I manage a team in the middling place, I get sacked within a few months.

[callummoore]

I've never played with attribute masking due to the firm logic that if I were an actual football manager I would immediately be loading up FM to scout players anyway. Still need to scout for those hidden attributes, but attribute masking just makes lower league management an absolute slog.
