Parabens pela explicação. Foi mais ensinar a pescar do que dar o peixe. Obrigado. Resultou lindamente.... estão todos aptos e muito competentes na tática. Agora a questão é qual a metodologia para os manter aptos e com o minimo de lesões ao mesmo tempo que vou refinando a tática. e como evitar que alguns jogadores fiquem descontentes com o treino. Qual a intensidade recomendada para o inicio, para o meio e para o final da temporada.
Muito bom saber que você testou o método e que deu certo. 👏 Eu publiquei um vídeo faz poucas semanas sobre como gerenciar a parte médica da equipe e coloquei algumas dicas sobre treino. Alguns pontos para você considerar: - A intensidade e o treino vai mudar muito dependendo da equipe e do calendário. Se você for no Departamento Médico, eles mostram quais épocas do ano o seu time tem mais contusões. Isso ajuda muito na hora de pensar em intensidade. Você precisa também acompanhar cada jogador de forma individual e rotacionar o time o máximo possível para que todos continuem em forma. - Evite usar muito a sessão extra de treino. Use apenas em ocasiões especiais. - Use sempre recovery depois dos jogos. É muito mais eficiente do que descanso. - Eu não ligo muito para felicidade dos jogadores sobre os treinos. Eles sempre vão ter algo para reclamar. Se eles estiverem jogando com frequência e a equipe estiver bem nos campeonatos, a moral da equipe vai estar alta e a infelicidade sobre um treino ou outro não fará falta alguma. Espero ter ajudado. Abraços!
@@FMNATICS obrigado pelas dicas. E é isso... é muita frescura das vedetas. 😄
Helloy, good information, thank you
I’m glad you liked it!
Hello, how many sport scientists and physios do you recommend?
Hello Ladislav. My goal is to have the best staff among the teams in my league. As you know, the size of your medical team is determined by your board. Sometimes, I can accomplish my goals with the number of staff allowed. Depending on the team/league, I have to ask the board for additional staff. For top teams, I usually go with 3-5 Physios and 2-3 Sports Scientists. Although the number staff in your medical department is important, quality is even more important. Always focus on bringing new staff with higher attributes. That will make a huge difference. Do you want me to take a look at any specific clubs? Cheers!
You are approaching very specific stuff that I honestly have never seen anyone cover before, relevant tips! Much appreciated, way to go!
That's awesome! Thank you Danny. ⚽
Nicely packaged and concise, love the info, ta. I havent seen much study in this area so much appreciated.
That's awesome to hear that you enjoyed it. Thanks Andrew!
Hey! What other tips do you have to help mitigate injuries?
Another great one! Yeah, I am with you 100%, no restarting, pure game, it is what it is! #vamos
It does make a huge difference. When you go into a game knowing there is no way back, it adds a lot of anticipation and anxiety to the game experience.
@@FMNATICS Agree 100%, keeping things REAL matters! Thanks for tips by the way, keep it coming :)
Great video and very clear explanations
Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked it.
Really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to trying to implement the two inverted fullbacks, half back and libero into one of my saves
Thank you very much. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed it. If you play with the IFB + HB + Libero, send me a message and let me know how it goes. Cheers!
After watching this video, all I can say is that I miss Lilian Thuram a lot! Great video! By the way, all my wingers are instructed to keep dribbling until the legs fall off 😅⚽️ Let’s go! 🤙
Thuram 👏 Haha. I thought you instructed your whole team to dribble non-stop. No? 😂
@@FMNATICS that is accurate 🤣
Can you make a video about Palmeiras? Who would you set them up with their latest signings?
The libero must be an outstanding player to thrive. You may use it in lower leagues, but be careful to pair him with 2 partners (either CB's or IFB and CB) that will be able to fulfill any gaps left. Anyway, one really really interesting video would be talking about the IF and IW. They're roles that play in the same position, but have completely different roles. Beginners might find confuse which one to choose
I agree 100%. I’m not sure it’s the sort of role for lower leagues. Definitely not a role for average players, so much so that one of the best líberos in the history of football was Mr. Franz Beckenbauer. I love the suggestion for a video about IF and IW. Let’s do it!
Do you use the Libero role? If so, what else would you add to my comments? If not, why not?
Nice Video mate. the Halfback is maybe my most favorite player role. But just as some constructive critique, maybe u gonna highlight a bit more why or how this role is used aka strengths/weaknesses. For the halfback the biggest weaknes is that, without a "real" DM, in posession there is a huge gap in ur build up play between ur back 3 and ur center midfielders. so u should choose a playstyle that plays wide and utilize ur wingbacks. Also either one or, at best, both of ur CM should have the player trait "drops deep to get the ball" so they offer more passing options. Since u cant use wide defenders in back 4 u should instruct ur 2 CB´s to stay wide to spread out a bit more when the Halfback drops in between them so the gonna act more like FB on defend in posession. The one thing that makes a 4-3-3 with an halfback so OP is that u are boarderline impossible to press because u always gonna outnumber the opponents attackers while in posession which is great for retaining posession. But unlike in a regular 3-4-3 the halfback gonna act like a DM/BWM while out of posession so u dont have to worry that much about opponents offensive midfielders. i recomend to instuct ur halfback to mark tigther/positional marking/OM(c)
Hey Tom. Thank you for watching the video and providing your feedback. I agree 100% with your thoughts. I even shared a similar view with another follower who asked me some additional questions. Another thing I like to do is playing with a DLF or a TF in Support with the tactics too. The video was meant to be short and objective, but I’ll elaborate more in the upcoming videos for other roles. Great suggestion. Cheers!
I have a love for the brazilian national side from the 82 world cup.
Nice! Most Brazilians love the 1982 team. It’s considered by many the best team we have ever had.
@@FMNATICS zico is my hero growing up
@@FMNATICS would love to see a Brazilians look on the player roles for that tactic.
Great job on this one 🫡
Thanks Frank!!!
This is great, best channel I have seen in a very long time.
Wow! Thank you very much Keith. I’ll keep doing my best to provide quality content.
Great video! I wonder why channels that makes great FM content like yours don't have many followers.
Thank you very much Benjamin. Let’s hope it’s because my channel is very new. Ha!
@@FMNATICS True. I didn't even bother to check how old your channel is. But if that's the case, your subscribers will definitely increase with time.
Would playing 2 half back in 4-2-3-1 DM work? With having 2 wing backs on attack?
Hi. You don’t have to. As a matter of fact, I don’t think it would work. It would probably have the same effect as playing with one halfback. Here is another issue if it worked: when playing with a halfback, you will get an extra man in the back in the build up, but that also means one less man in the middle. With that being said, you need to pair the HB with a midfielder that can move to receive the ball in the middle. I haven’t tested two HBs so my answer is based on what I think would happen. I’ll try one day to see what really happens in game. Cheers!
Good Video!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it.
Wonderful work as ALWAYS! You set a new standard of FM Content creation! Really proud to be associated with you! Keep them coming! You are an inspiration to me every single day! Not just for your work ethic but your professionalism in making informative videos that are quick & easy to comprehend without much fluff - as I'm lenient to! Keep it up!
Thank you my friend. I truly appreciate your support. It has definitely kept me optimistic and engaged in creating more content. I’m excited about FM25 and all the projects we have talked about.
Hi there im really new to FM and trying to play brazil third division as Fig. The problem is idk how to fix the finances situation. is there any insight or methods you can help me with?
Sure! Are you playing with Figueirense? Can you tell me more about your current financial situation? How much do you have in the bank? Any debts?
@@FMNATICS Yes, as Figueirense. Well i am going to start a new save. They start with I believe £-1m
When I play with smaller clubs, I focus on free agents for a couple of years. Remember to keep an eye on players whose contracts expire in six months so you can offer them a contract early. Another tip is to sell any players you receive an offer for. It’s unlikely that you will keep them for the long run. Once you have money, you can focus on buying players. By then, you should be able to sign some new gens.
One more thing: do not overspend on wages. Make sure you keep your payroll within the amount allowed by the board.
@@FMNATICS Thank you. Basically don't be afraid to let go of players. New players will come in as I sign them. Main thing is free agents. Here a Subscribe. If you can also turn this to a video ill really appreciate it gives me even a visual way to understand but you don't have to.
Um dos melhores vídeos que vi sobre a posição, obrigado!
Opa! Que bacana! Obrigado.
if you take suggestions, I'm really interested in the libero role
Hi Tomas. Absolutely! I’ll create one for Libero.
Hi Tomas. I've just published a video about the LIBERO, as you requested. Special mention to you in the video as well. Cheers!
great video mate keep going
MOOOOREE!
For sure. I’ll work on many more. Any requests?
Mentality: when and where to change for ex you go up 1 away to a strong team, started on positive now change to Cautious to withstanding the upcoming attacking home team ?
Role guide!!! I love it! Very informative video awesome work
Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked it!
@@FMNATICS Hey it's me again lol. I have a video on the half back coming out soon (for the record, it was pure coincedence with my schedule): would you mind if I put a link to your video in my description? Thought it might be nice to have another video as a reference/study guide for a more comprehensive look at the role. Thanks and once again love your channel!
@TheDeepLyingPlaymaker Hey. No problem at all. I was actually going to contact you too. I’m going to create a few more videos on player roles and wanted to recommend your videos as additional guidance. Is that ok?
@@FMNATICS Absolutely!! The more information, the better I say 😂
Hey. I’ve just published the video and added a link to your channel in the description. Do you have Twitter?
The halfback it's basically the opposite way of the libero. The halfback is a DM/CD that'll support the backline to have superiority and the Libero is a CD/DM that'll go forward to support the midfield line to gain that superiority. Altough, one curious fact in this FM is how the Halfback acts in a 3 line system (either a 3 central defenders system or using the inverted fullback), the Halfback will act as a regular Defensive Midfielder when there are already 3 men at the back, and just then one of them pushes forward he'll drop to maintain the system. So, in my opinion, the Halfback is a role designed to maintain the Positional Play game and giver quantitative superiority in the whole pitch extension
vc é brasileiro ne
Opa. Sou sim Diogo. 🇧🇷

What a challenge! You did great, Brazil got lucky , way to go!
Brazil is not the same anymore, but Ecuador is quite not there yet. Maybe next time…
nice work man. Care the dates though on new transfers 🙂
Thank you for the comment Vasilis. And thank you for the suggestions!
Vc poderia fazer um video desse no seu canal br
Boa ideia. Preciso soltar mais vídeos por lá também. Acha que seria legal adicionar legenda em português para os vídeos aqui do canal?
@@FMNATICS tem a automática do CZcams, mas ela n traduz 100%, seria uma boa uma legenda
Ótimo video, o top 3 do vídeo é semelhante ao top 3 de verdade, mas o São Paulo comanda, o Palmeiras cresceu nos ultimos anos, Santos deve decair agora que está na segunda divisão.
Valeu Luiz. Eu acho que HISTORICAMENTE, o São Paulo é o primeiro. O Palmeiras não ficaria nem no top 3, mas falando de MOMENTO, acho que o Palmeiras tem os melhores times de base. Abração!
@@FMNATICS verdade, em termos de quantidade o SP parece produzir mais, Brenner, Gabriel Sara, Nestor, Pablo Maia, Luizão, Douglas Costa, Wellington... Mas não sabem gerir esses jogadores que são vendidos por pouco dinheiro ou saem de graça, já o Palmeiras além de produzir muitos jovens consegue aproveitar eles e vender bem
How did you find the college boy and the other newgen wonderkid with so much potential? Please share the method you used! I'm loving the series!!!
Hey Luis. The young ones (U13) I found by doing research on Google and CZcams. There are several articles about these kids in newspapers and websites that cover these clubs. Speaking the language (Portuguese) makes it easier too because most of these articles are local. I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the video.
Parabéns pelo vídeo! Acabei de conhecer o seu canal, seu trabalho é top, já me inscrevi aqui!
Opa Augusto. Fico contente que tenha gostado. Obrigado pelo comentário e pela inscrição. Grande abraço!
um salve do brasil
Salveeee Victor. O que achou da lista? Abraços
What pack/skin/mod is that.the Brazilian championship is unlicensed no
I’m using the Brazil MundiUp.
A recruitment focus video would be great
Hey Adam. Thank you. I’ve just added to the list. I’ll work on it soon.
A great course! The match against Brazil wasn't a big deal, but experience made the difference. I like your content, so keep it up! (Sorry for my english im french)
Hey. Thank you very much for your comment. I agree! Beating Brazil was going to be hard. Although Brazil has not been playing well, some of the players are amazing in Football Manager. No worries about your English. I wish I could write back to you in French.
Thank you for this video but I don’t think you showed line of engagement and Pressing and the out of possession stuff. Otherwise great vid!
Hey Eric. Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you liked the video. I’m using a standard line of engagement for now. I tried a few options but I didn't like the results. For example: I tested a higher defensive line, but I conceded some goals because coverage was not good enough. As for Out of Possession, I’m avoiding Counters and Counter Press because my team is slow and weak. However, I often change it during the game. If I need to attack, I use higher lines of engagement, increase the pressure and use “Get stuck in”. If I need to defend, I bring the first line down to keep the marking between the middle and the defense very compact. Cheers!
Curious on your thought process to use a BWM-S alongside a BBM as both roam from their positions leaving holes in your midfield and offers no protection for your defense. You saw it on that Vini goal. Keep up the great videos!
Hey. Thank you for the comment. I’m glad you liked the video. I tried using one of them as a BWM-D but it left a hole in the middle in creation. Our build-up was very limited. By using him as a BMW-S, that improved a bit because he was supporting more our counters. I was hoping the three defenders would help me protect better the defense, which worked quite well except for the game against Brazil. To be honest, I don’t think I would’ve beaten them anyways. Ha! What roles would you have used? I’d love to hear your thoughts too. Cheers!!!
Brilliant work! Lots of valid tips and the results are solid, appreciated!
Thank you Danny!
Awesome video! I am tempted to take on a new challenge, I am between Belenenses and Puskas Academy, let's see how it goes
These are my two favorite options too. I really want to play with Puskas, but a Portuguese save also sounds like a nice challenge. Should we visit both clubs next year to make a decision? 😂
Irmão, tu é brasileiro?
Opa! E com orgulho! 🇧🇷
@@FMNATICS pô, sabia que eu conhecia esse sotaque de algum lugar hahahaha!
amazing video, really helped me! yet, you forgot or not to set the "out of possession" instructions, it would be great see what your toughts. Greetings from Brazil!
Fala Pedro. Beleza? Obrigado pelo comentário. Fico contente que tenha gostado do vídeo. Eu deixei o “out of possession” normal. Eu fiz alguns testes e não gostei. Por ex: eu testei a linha da defesa mais alta, porém tomei algumas bolas nas costas dos CBs. Eu mudo bastante o Out of Possession durante o jogo. Se eu preciso atacar, eu subo as linhas, aumento a pressão e coloco o “Get stuck in”. Se eu preciso defender, eu desço a primeira linha para ficar bem compacta a marcação entre o meio e a defesa. Abração!
This is great. This is how I always make my tactics after joining a team. However, I'm never patient with the process. I never tweak until I get it right. If I lose enough games, I will find myself downloading a plug and play tactic. But I like your approach. It's very good
Haha. You have to resist downloading tactics. Thank you for your comment. I’m glad to learn that you enjoyed the video.
Just started watching your videos today, just wanted to say good work and that there is some really useful stuff in there that I had never considered before 👍
Thank you very much for taking the time to write your feedback. I’m glad to learn that you enjoyed my content. It definitely encourages me to keep creating more and more. Cheers!
Excellent video mate. Ive never put a lot of thought into pre-season training but some good tips I'll take away from this.
Hey. Thank you very much. I’m glad you liked it.
And how do you prevent so many injures during the season? What is your training like then? Great vid btw... ty
Thank you!!! I need to make a video about how to “prevent” injuries during the season. Would it be helpful? It’s actually combination of things including (1) squad rotation (2) training workload; avoid using extra sessions and take it easy during busy months; there is a screen that shows you when injuries usually peak; (3) give players rest when needed and (4) manage team instructions carefully; playing high press for 90 minutes won’t help.
