“Your Tactic Is Just Bad” (Save Your Saves)

I have had the chance to diagnose a lot of different problems over the year we’ve been saving saves. There are always complex finances, scouting conundrums, and a wide variety of random awfulness that Football Manager can throw at you from time to time. I don’t think I’ve ever been able to blame a tactic on FM for as much as I am able to in this save your saves video. I know tactics are difficult to get right, but I suppose sometimes you follow your heart and it’s just wrong.

What is very interesting is that in the same save with the struggling tactic, the scouting for wonderkids has gone incredibly well. It was done with great skill in a way that sets an example for other people looking to build a team in a similar way. That is, the best way because signing a bucket of wonderkids and developing a golden core of players is just the best way to go about business in Football Manager - 30-year-olds be damned. Enjoy the latest edition of SYS!

Much Love,
FM Senpai

I lost my save after my laptop died recently. I was devastated until I remembered that I submitted my save for saving. I was able to recover it! So even though I wasn't in the video, my save has been saved.

Watching SYS motivates me to go back to my West Brom save, then the minute I boot it up, i remember why I abandoned it

[anadoovershima]

The "You got scared" speech from 17:26 - 19:40 was epic. Sounded like an orator.

[SirLingardinho]

Zealand you should do like a Part 2 of this series called: Did I Save your Save? You basically look at how these people took your advice and where their saves ended up.

[isaaclodziak-green]

Going from someone that got Wrexham to the Premier League and is scared of being relegated despite being only 2 games in, to that Northampton save with the board confidence at an F really divides peoples opinion of the definition of “struggling” 😂

[toby]

I would love to see Zealand do a national save. I know he can't go scout & loan crazy with it but would be great to see his tactics for developing U23s into first teamers and his tournament management skills

[benhayward]

I was in Ethans position in an Iceland save, had 2 months to save my job. Did pretty much what Zealand recommended and survived, got promoted the next season and qualified for the europa league the year after that.

That Northampton save is what all the saves on here should be like. Not the "oh I can't beat the top teams or win every champions league." Ones

[Invidious]

Almost never comment on YouTube videos but I just wanted to share how much I appreciate this entire series. SYS is brilliant insight for someone who loves playing lower league FM saves. Thanks Zealand!

[armthesharks]

Have you and your team ever considered a Trophy Case type of video, or a Praising Your Save?

A way to show off cool saves and major accomplishments sounds cool. I have a decent idea of what it would look like, and I think it would be entertaining.

It comes down to whether or not you'd enjoy doing it, probably.

[RedScareClair]

You're so right, Z. I've never won a game trying to play a low block. I can replay the same game against the same team and will just 4-0 with a low block but lose 1-0 with a high line

[unpredictableplays]

Here for the song alone!

Loving the SYS series as it does help newer players like myself :)

[georgeofori]

The “You got scared” speech really motivated me😂 Nice one Zealand!

[tavforpresident]

Doing a save with NAC Breda so the Heerenveen tips were extremely helpful! Cheers Z

[jbear]

Definitely gonna need an update for that Northampton save

[JoDyMa]

The Hereenveen tactic was horrific

In relation to the Wrexham save, I got Derby a surprise double promotion from League 1 and I had a wage bill of £17m p/a 😂 safe to say I got absolutely shat on 😂

[irizaga]

Bro your intros always make me laugh, my fav content creator out there. You're amazing, Z!

[MagicalWoodchip]

I’ve found these videos very helpful in my personal saves where I’ve now learned a lot of new tricks that help in my quest to conquer the game with cork city

[insicknessandindeath]

I'm still playing the same FM20 save since I bought it 2 years ago and I'm still watching these videos like they're going to help me.

[Berkedavinci]

I'll tell about you to my children and grandchildren, whenever i play Fm 2035 to Fm 2045 and more. We will find your home to ask for forbidden knowledge of Fm's and you're gonna say i vowed to never touch that thing again. We'll convince you at the end
