Saving Saves that Randomly Got Bad

Everyone that plays Football Manager eventually runs into this feeling: you are chugging along, you’ve watched some FM tutorials, some tips and tricks, and your club is cooking FM like a Saturday barbecue… only to start losing out of nowhere. There is seemingly nothing you can do on Football Manager to turn your form around and what you did previously doesn’t work at all.

On FM this can happen after a new season starts, in can happen in the middle, it can happen at the end, and it will always ruin your day. What you have to do to fix this Football Manager challenge is first diagnose what is causing the poor run of form in the first place, because it is not always a poor bout of form necessarily. A few of the saves in this SYS give us a good chance to get you right.

Much Love,
FM Senpai

Would love a series of revisiting saves to see how well it went after they were saved

[GIBBO]

Came for the saving your saves…stayed for the loan song!

[JamesKennedy]

More of the saving saves please!! Always love these videos Z 👍

[adamcurrie]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that picked up on the Stranraer pronunciation 😂

[Igorilianu]

What he means by "Serie a is poor competition" is that Serie a doesn't provide that much cash. For example the winner of serie a gets at max 60 million while in comparision a bpl promoted team gets over 100m

I think FM is a lot like driving. Bad habits are easily attainable and having a fresh set of eyes look at it helps you realise your mistakes.

[andrzeypl]

We need a series to see if these tips actually help. Like SYS- The Results type of thing, would be interesting to see

[hooobbit]

The scouting budgets is just a bit broken in this years game, If your in debt like the first save it wont let you scout anyone as your out of budget but if you put them in your shortlist it will scout an unlimited amount of players.
They really need to fix it so once you in debt the scouts stop scouting every player in your shortlist until you have the budget to afford it again.

8:50 Annecdotally I can confirm scouting really young players in senior national teams can do wonders. In my current save with Sigma Olomouc in Czechia my star striker is Guatemalan and is absolutely at that world class level and I signed him at the age of 18 for $90, 000 when I noticed he had 15 caps for Guatemala already. I also have a solid Salvadorian defensive midfield prospect who I signed at the age of 19 who had 13 caps for El Salvador when I bought him for $50, 000 and though I don't think he'll quite hit that world beating quality he's still a solid player who I can probably sell to a top 5 league team for ~$20, 000, 000.

Thanks so much for showing the location of "Keep scout reports up to date" I couldn't find it for looking and I kept clearing my scout priorities only to have them keep reappearing. My miniscule scout budget was obliterated

[KneYka]

I had a bochum save where in the 1st season, I was 15th when winter break comes and the xG table suggests I should be 4th, now that is properly screwed. Still the second half of the season went better and we finished 7th(with the xG table still suggesting 4th overall but I'm very pleased with that already)

[NachoBearYeah]

I don't agree Z, high back line and mid block is one of the most consistent defenses in this game. Probably the most consistent way to have a high back line. The problem would be that they didn't put "step up more", because you want to compress more and press the other team in that reduced space. Also you need defenders that can pull it off, intelligent and fast ones. They would need to see if they have what's needed.

[FozzQuaker]

Stranraer, North of Scotland...there more like extreme south west Scotland...

Great vids, love your work and keep it up

[shaneblank]

First time playing fm23, 133 games unbeaten but I’m insecure about my tactic ? How many times u think this guy re loaded his game to make that happen .

[dtsnyder]

These are the most high-value videos you make, Z. Love SYS.

[thewhitejoker]

This first save saved me in the danish second division with -500k debt because of scouting :(

[ChrisNicol-yk]

Stranrare :D

Stranny are fun. One of the coldest stadiums I've ever been to. Once the game was finished a load of kids just ran on the pitch and started to play!

[SpoonHurler]

Zealand: "You can technically build a whole team with loans."
Me: "Go on."

[YoungCoconuttt]

i just started playing a few weeks ago, won carabao and came runner up in ucl and fa cup then tanked my second season and got fired…133 game unbeaten run in his first go is insane😭 started a newcastle save after that and i’m doing well in my second season now, mostly thanks to these videos lol

[SkyIon]

Next title better be Saving Saves to Save the World.
