The way he talks about the Grüner save and then gives it a 7 breaks my heart.
He does not deserve more though, 4 years to advance from the Norwegian 4th tier is rough
@@pmfg11 he absolutely does deserve more
@@Phill.__. why?
Not won a top league title
Not the only purple team in Norway though, I live literally 100 meters from local side in Sandefjord «GØIF», playing in the 6th tier.
I also think Fyllingsdalen are purple if I remember correctly
32:40 are we not gonna talk about how that guy lost 4-1 to United in the first leg, to then beating them 10-0 in the second? Mental
I came here for this comment haha
I recently had a game like that with Wigan.
Lost away to Chelsea in the round of 16 4-2.
Won at home 6-1.
ngl I've given out more hammerings this year than ever before so I can believe it, beat Donny (full time,just relegated from L2) 7-0 as part-time Chelmsford team (just promoted to the NL)
*adds new manager, sticks a crappy outfield player in goals*
@@BawdyBadger dude, 6-1 is not "like that" 10-0
I really like that first save.. seems like the guy having fun, the second save seems kind of fishy...
2nd and 3rd were both dodgy. Heavy use of editor I reckon. Both times.
tbh getting promoted every year in england is pretty easy, just insanely boring to play through the lower leagues
@@i.blomen There are a few bottlenecks in the English League. The National League is tough but if you win it you should definitely be challenging to win League 2.
League One and Championship are quite close except for the rich ex Premier League teams.
@@i.blomen Getting a VNN club to top-tier training and youth facilities in 10 years is a dead giveaway
honestly I play one VNN/S to Prem every FM edition and my saves more or less look like this. Promotion every season except Championship which usually takes 2 seasons. Might be a bit of luck involved in first couple of seasons but once you reach the pro leagues with multiple promotion spots it's much easier. Just have to prioritise the right things.
32:32 this dude lost a champions league knockout 1st leg 4-1 and proceeded to spank the team 10-0😂
The thing most people dont realize about the first save is how difficult it is to get promoted in the lower divisions in Norway. Only the top team is promoted, the second doesnt even get a chance at a playoff.
It's brutal, but once you do its so good!
7:58 - Good with economics...Hull City...This is SURELY Alfie from HITC Sevens - don't lie LOL
That save was suspicious to say the least. Definitley heavily edited in my opinion.
@@SteveAustin-zv1nnyes definitely edited you can see it up in the top right.
@@SteveAustin-zv1nn How to spot that the save’s sus? Just curious
I thought that, but "BPL"? Nah
@@langletprolet8378 Experience really. Been playing for 25 years. That sort of success is sustainable but under very specific circumstances. The success curve at the beginning was too sharp, for one. The successive Premier League titles was dubious the Champions League made me very suspicious. Then you have the players we saw, decent, not amazing. Also, there’s no real plug-and-play tactic so the incredible amount of hours on tweaking tactics and strategies over and over is a factor. If the editor wasn’t used then save scumming is most likely.
I think there should be two sections of the editor. One where you can only change kits and names and the other where you can do all the rest. Just so the aesthetics can be messed with without the integrity of the save being questioned.
Absolutely. It's the only thing I've used the Editor for.
Why? Its a single player game, and as a single player game it is impossible to "question the integrity of the Save" because what integrity means is up to the person playing the Save.
@@max86-qf6rq Just look at all the comments calling shenanigans on some of these saves. Whilst I agree that 90% of the time it doesn't matter, I'd like to be able to change a god awful away/third kit if I want and not be questioned about any success I might have if I want to share it.
As german, its pretty funny that the club Grüner, the german word for green plays in purple kit
It is what it is, I dont know why we're purple, but I love it
The first save is the kind of save I like. Building a club. No point starting with Man City, Real Madrid or Celtic in Scotland.
As somebody also doing a lower league save in Norway, those leagues below the Eliteserien are brutal
They are so hard tried one before and it’s tough
Which club to use?
@@langletprolet8378 let me load up the save I can’t even spell it
@@holdmyheim 9 hours still hasn't load the save
@@holdmyheimBro forgor
Will always remember that Cosimo Marco Da Graca I panic bought on deadline day in FM19 for my Stuttgart side because Nicolás González wanted a bigger salary and the club needed money.
Made him learn how to beat the offside trap. And that forever 3 stars striker went ahead and carried me through multiple competitions.
One of my GOATs 🤩
I absolutely enjoyed every second of this video. It's a great format. Would happily watch more of this, Z. Cheers!
This should be a new series! "Flex your saves"
please, i have a bsg chemie leipzig save (from 4th division to el and bundesliga title in like 12 years) i really want to flex with.
First save is awesome,second is obviously help of editor(cheating),third one you must look at editor use,its almost impossible to start winning that early with Hull..
Agreed. I've never seen anyone have that much success in FM ever. The consequtive leagues and champions leagues is silly.
Agree mate
Disagree, first of all it's possible. Second of all there is no such thing as "cheating" in FM. Its a single player game, cheating is getting a unfair advantage over youre OPPOSITION, to win a game of cod or fifa (eafc) or irl chess to name examples. There is no opposition in fm besides the ai.
@@max86-qf6rq god you ball glazer if it's that easy to do it then show one example of someone doing something like that without the editor then
@@gastonzumbo9860 He is cheating probably and because of that,he is writing this.
Appreciate the circling of things that are being talked about, makes it way easier to follow :)
interesting to see the hull city team had the ingame editer open
Yeah, I think both him and the single transfer window guy did some shady stuff for sure
Not for sure, maybe yes for sure no. Just because you weren't/aren't able to have a save this successful or find it "unrealistic" (in the sence that u like the "grind" type saves like for example the first one) does not mean its not possible without the editor.
@@briangibbs269 25 mil to spend in the championship is unheard off from lower league sides like tramere im doing rochdale and i got 700k no chance you have mils to spend
No editor used, Zealand has the editor bought and I haven’t bought it but I haven’t disabled it when I started the save just incase there was something that was game breaking/save ending that can be fixed by the editor. Luckily this year I haven’t had to buy it yet and I haven’t had to use it since FM20 but because Zealand has bought the editor and I haven’t disabled it at the start of the save it shows up when he reviews it
13:00 When I saw that Hull save I thought "Hang on, is that me?" I literally played a 30 year Hull save in Fm23 and was winning 5 trophies a year, every year. It was a fun save.
This year I've been playing a save with no players over 3 stars with Tottenham. It's hilarious having to bench players whenever they pop up to 3 1/2 stars, and then sell them at the first opportunity but I do have 2.2bil in the bank and multiple Premiership titles, can't get the Champions League win yet tho.
saves with editor on should not be accepted but thats just my opinion
Love the format! Keep them coming Z
This is a really neat vid format. Something very wholesome about celebrating peoples fun saves! Shoutout to Norway guy you’re killing it!
Shout out to the 2nd and 3rd save submissions. Too afraid to admit that they both used the editor heavily 😂
3rd save is easily possible. 5 seasons to win the prem with hull is not that difficult if you know what you’re doing. 2nd is very clearly cheating tho considering the fact that their best wonderkids weren’t even that good
Where you there while they are playing the Save? If not then why are you so sure that its been used? Especially the 3rd save is completely possible without the editor.
I'm not saying they didn't but besides the fact that u in my personal opinion shouldn't show it of on yt or Reddit etc if they did. But i really don't understand why it bothers people. It's a single player game, it shouldn't matter.
I was the 2nd save. No editor. It wasn't even on. Actually, the editor wasn't even released when I started that save. I just did create-a-team and kit, to help me connect to the save during the first years.
Loved this, I would love this kind of video to be a monthly thing!
I really like this video. One of my favorite things about the FM community is seeing the insane things people do in their saves.

Yes i saw
These are amazing, do more of them for sure!
Last save Dortmund beating Man Utd 10-0 was an INSANE result overlooked
Yeah, I was wondering how he overcame the 1-4 first leg defeat lol
That Tranmere save. Wow. I am impressed. I am also a big fan of the Norwegian club builder save, the two journeyman saves and the Salernitana > Villarreal > Real Madrid save. Keep up the great work!
Whenever I see videos like this I regret deleting my Zagreb save from FM23 where I won EL first and CL in the 2nd season not by doing incredible transfers but being INSANELY lucky xD
Absolutely do more videos like this, I cant believe it i watched it full on sunday at 21.30 :)
I can attest to how hard it is to get out of the lower divisions in Norway. It is a nightmare to find players. I tried a save there, but way up north in the country. There are so few clubs there, that improving your team feels almost impossible. At that level of play, the wages are so bad, no one actually wants to move up there, so you need local players. I gave up on that save like three times.
the first save reminds me of my first real save on fm last year, alfreton town in the national league north promoted first year, 5 years in national league and about 7 years getting up to the championship then got to busy to play. loved the few months i played it, jumping around in my room in the league 1 playoff final after a 85 min was my favourite moment
Plus its my local team (about 5 miles away) which made it better
The guy saying "BPL" at 8:40 needs to take a long hard look at himself.
Zealand calling it the British premier league tho🤢
Barclays….
@@jbeattie02 is it still the Barclay's Premier League? I dont pay enough attention to notice.
@@bipolarminddroppings yes
6:19 Nice of doctor benji to make an appearance
This is the best video you ever made, this is the content I'm here for, yes! Huge like
That first save deserved a 9 or 10 tbf, Awesome job!
Such a fun vid to watch too. Have a great save aswell with Ajax, unbeaten in the Eredivisie for 6 years (if i'm correct) now and won the UCL 2 times in a row after a late defeat the year before. It might nog be the best hardcore save, but I love the simplicity of building an already great team and make it even better. (We're also the number 1 in rep in the world now)
The third save is typically how my long term save winds up, though usually 25+ seasons in. I don't play in England at all but I've done that with even low tier countries like IK Sirius (Sweden) as well as major countries like Malaga (Spain) (FM22), Schalke (Germany) and Waterford (Republic of Ireland) (FM23) and I'm starting on that path now with Almere City in the Netherlands. Smaller countries delay the ascension (which is why I don't play in England. Too easy) because you have to build club reputation and league prestige, largely singlehandedly. That fourth save is reminiscent of the Herschel Walker trade.
@ZealandOnYT you're exactly right about Roger. Almost included it in the submission description--he had broken his leg and I brought in a world class replacement the year before. With one year to go on his contract, he wanted a big, big renewal and I just wanted him out. His value was about 3x what I sold him for, and now it's about 4x, but it's still a win.
Multiple Zealand videos within a few days makes my vacation all the better
Sure does brother
My first fm game was fm21 and since it was my first time and all my tactics absolutely sucked i started downloading tactics and that's when i learned about Zaz, one of the best fm tacticians(if not the best) and with his tactic i took leyton orient from league 2 to the premier league in back to back to back promotions by finishing top in all three leagues but got my ass handed to me in the premier league but still managed to finish 14th. That was a hell of a ride.
Watching this video i am also currently Tranmere Rovers, they are my local team, i am only in January but i am doing really well so far. Love the video as always
Great save to do mate
That Hull save was definitely heavily edited. That kind of success is crazy. Although achievable, the players highlighted weren't THAT good. There's no plug-and-play tactic that would dominate everything every year. Strong doubts on that one. The second one with the created club also had some shenanigans I reckon.
Done it multiple times over the years without the editor or anything. At a certain point you build a team that is not only basically 2 world class players in every position but your dynamics/morale/team cohesion/leadership is so maxed out the AI just can't really compete. Basically wonderkid shop every season, loan lots out like he did, flip the ones not destined for the first team for profit, which then allows you to basically go out and buy £200-300 million players to improve your team, if you obviously go for ones in their early 20s, and all the other wonderkids you collect you will have a team of world stars.
It's actually quite easy to do :)
Once you amass enough talent you win everything. My personal favourite setup a formation with 3x BPD (or 2 BPD + libero), regista + vol(A), 2x DW, SS, CF (or AF) + Treq up front.
Averaged over 70 goals in UCL per season and over 200 goals in the Polish league (which i lifted all the way up to 5th spot)
Broken tactics do exist you know.
@@langletprolet8378 assymetric 4-1-4-1 for instance, worked like a charm in fm23
Could just be save scumming tbf
What I would like to know about the Hull City save is how he maintain the players with that level happy on loan, and prevent other teams to buy them and they getting angry because you reject the offers:
Also I wouldn't give a 10 to the American Samoa guy, the game let you go up in the ladder pretty easy if you do well. All my saves are like that, I start with an almost unknown team from a lower league in a not so traditional football country and at some point I get to pick to which of the 5 top leagues and teams I want to go.
Regarding keeping my loan players happy it was quite hard, I get a lot of players who are unhappy about their playing time but if they do get unhappy I just firm it or loan them out so they get happy again
@@lukewaterson2000 I had several good players that got unhappy because they never were on loan and wanted to be in a "better team" so I had to sell them :( and also when they were on loan if a big club approachs to buy them, it was almost impossible to keep them in the club, even if they had a lot of play time, and nice salary, they say, dude I'm out, it's a big club, sell me now.
A 9 out of 10 for a created team but 7 out of 10 with 100% transperancy and fantastic overall club management.
Heck may have to buy this years addition and submit a team. Create a team with hidden financials and then start buying known wonderkids for 10's of millions of dollars.
Considering how a lot of "Save your Saves" applications really kinda just want to show off their team, a series like this was the natural next step.
Mamadou Sidibe also played for Gillingham under Tony Pulis over 20 years ago. The person submitting that save also had a player called Zakuani, who was also a Gillingham player.
I might have a same coming up with my created club, Bloomfield United. Where we went from Vanarama to Prem currently with a lot of players from the first few years still in the team doing it in the Prem. Editor for improving ratings but only +1 for constant 8.0+ performances in games and in training.
The reason the Norway one is more impressive to me is because of the insane registration rules there where you are only allowed nine players who are not HGN.
Loved this! 😁
Just watching this right after winning my 1st ever champions league with Portsmouth in my first ever fm save! got the prem 2 seasons in a row too
My favourite save is probably in 01/02 managing celtic. Henrick larsson and Chris sutton got 40 odd goals between them in one season
Hull City save was absolute God Tier !! Bravo 👌
I recently finished up a save and wanted to have a look at the PA and CA of my players. Editor was disabled so I got FMGenie and sorted by PA. It turns out, during a transfer window in the MLS, I signed 5 players who all ended up in the top 10 highest CA players in the world. One of the players I bought in that window had 200 PA, and actually wasn't the only 200 PA player in the save either.
I believe Black Knights took over from King’s Lynn Town
21:15 - I had an Italian RB wonderkid in my Falkirk save called Danilo Bologna as well, who ironically ended up at Chelsea. Was such a good player for me until he engineered his move away.
One of my favorite saves was Vaduz, a Liechtenstein team in the Swiss second league. Super fun save trying to get them to European success
He even got his fun fact worth. Grünner is the second club in Norway with purple shirts, the first being FK fyllingensdalen(the wonderkid factory).
I literally have been talking with the Gruner guy for years on your discord he is a true g gotta respect it
Damn, I would have loved to submit my save. Guijuelo from Spanish 4th tier, went to 1st div like a rocket and ended 3rd on my first year there with a team which quality would normally be around 2nd div relegation battle. Finally won the league (and cup) now in 2030 and I'm contending for the Champions in only 8 years. Every year has been a transfering masterclass and the team has been rich for years while I have a team full of world class wonderkids. Craziest save I've ever had and feeling so proud.
I won 8 champions leagues in a row with west brom. I had a 2½ star striker who scored 30 goals in the prem. I won the prem 5 in a row as well and the season before my run I finished 17th
One great piece of business for me was in my current save (FM22). 31st of Jan 2028, forced to sell my star striker to Bayern for £50m. I had no one lined up so had to search for a replacement quickly. Found a disgruntled striker in Dortmund for £12m. He was a beast, helping us to win everything and getting all the individual accolades. I left the club after winning everything (took 8 years) and the club immediately sold him to Utd for £183m. Not a bad pick-up.
I'm currently working on the most insane transfers Ive ever done in FM going all the way back to playing CM as a kid. I bought 2 22 year olds, 1 from Spurs, 1 from Arsenal. Both cost me less than 20k, yes £20,000. They both had around 100 CA and over 180 PA but clearly weren't fulfilling their potential as they were being sold for literally nothing, I figured "what the hell?" and bought them. I've been playing them in the u21's squad and giving them games in the first team whenever possible, I have by far the best coaching staff in the Prem, and already within 3 months of buying them their CA's are both going up quickly and they've gone from being worth 17k and 13k respectively to around 3 mil a piece. They're also both averaging over 7.1 rating for the season in the Prem lol
If I can get them to anything close to their PA by the time they are 27, I'm going to make a fortune on them.
Just finished a season where I finished 2nd with 101 points & Liverpool won with 102. Never had this type of season before! 😭
With that Hull City save, I get bored after winning a league about three or four times in a row and end up leaving to a small club in a different nation to do something else for a few years. I do miss some of my best players, at one point had basically a Messi player (60-70 goal contributions per season, 5'6") but I saved at that point so I can always go back to him and I watch him while I am at other clubs.
Would love for you to do this again. I’ve got a 30 year Southampton save that I’ve since retired that I would love to submit
More of these please.
In that Dortmund dream team save I saw that one of the losses was in a first leg champions league game to Man Utd 4-1. And as they won it, checked and saw they won the second leg 10-0 😮
lol that last save didnt even mention the fact he beat man u 10-0 after losing the first leg
Seems a bit fishy
@@holdmyheimThose happen i only have the console version and its happened 3 times for me already, might be to do with squad rotation and learning from their strengths and weaknesses
Playing a Yeovil Town save from FM 2023 (waiting for FM 2025 so skipped 2024) but 3 years in the national league with one playoff season then barely surviving relegation due to losing a third of the team and being under a transfer embargo due to a take over. Third year is a third of the way through in a playoff position. Striker is a solid young loan player but struggling but the rest of the team is pulling the slack with my one winger stepping up while my back line is playing solid defense. Hope to promote soon as I picked up some players that I can sell for good money soon along with another player who has a 50% profit of sell that should move soon to give us a windfall of money. It is more committed playing from a bottom league to work up the ladder.
Wish I still had my FM22 Solihull Moors save where I went from Vanarama Conference to PL directly by winning the title every year, including the Prem with no editor at all. But I had to get rid of it sadly because I had to get rid of file space to try a new save.
That first save was good. Looks like no exploiting of game AI or exploiting the transfer system which is quite an easy thing to do. Your use of the word "organic" was very good because it seems very realistic. 7 was harsh.
The 2nd save was dodgy asf so giving a 9 was very very generous
I was the 2nd save. In what way was it dodgy? The editor wasn't even on (no pencil). It was a create-a-team where I changed the name and kit to help me connect with the save. Technically, the editor wasn't even released when I started the save.
@@EstariaValens It's not what you might have done in the game with the editor that I am curious about but what you might have done in the main game editor when you created the club such as giving an excessive budget, 5* facilities in non league, adding a few OP players to the team to start with etc. Maybe you didn't do anything. I am just suspicious. I'd ignore me if you know you are genuine
@@puffin7285 Oh Nothing with that either. The only changes I made to Kings Lynn is the name and kit.
@@EstariaValens Well in that case well done because it's an incredible rise
32:36 that 10-0 to United is just naaasty
I wanted to to send in my save this year because it made me go threw all the emotions. I started with my favourite team Werder Bremen but got fired being in 16th after 30 games(they eventuelly got relegated). I had to take over MSV Duisburg in 3 Liga overcoming Werder Bremen and seeing them get relegated a few times while I laugh at them sitting in the Champions League quarter final.
I love how passionate this guy is about FM, I know it's his job but damn he's the best FM content creator, it doesn't feel like he's forcing it as a "job"
I'm a professional musician, my dad once told me "Find what you love, then find people dumb enough to pay you to do it", I took his advice. When you love what you do, it never feels like work.
Love that first Norway Save. That's FM pure love. I played FM now for many years and had a lot of Top Teams but the Hull Save really looks suspicous for me. From my point of view it's edited.
I spent 7 seasons at Andora in Segunda division FM22, after promoting in first season, never made it to Laliga despite ending on places 3-6 regularly since 3rd season in segunda 😢
Every time my dog does something bad I tell him: "You are being such a Lalamela Badboy."
I was the one that made the badge for them when they started the black knights save, it is indeed a create-a-club!
HITC Sevens would be happy about the player can manage the team to get such a achievement.
the first save is how i imagine someone as passionate as Kurt was watching his team play would play the game if they were really good at it
Fyllingsdalen in Norway also have purple kits. They play in the 5th tier also
best save i had was with Rangers, won 14 Scottish Titles with 11 of them in a row, 7 scottish cups, 9 scottish league cups, a europa leauge, and 2 champions leagues. only trophy that haunted me was the club world cup. never won it on any save ive ever done so ended the save after my 2nd failed attempt at it
Brian's influence is so real, he get mentioned in future videos. Big lad Brain.
I'm a simple man. I see Zealand wearing a Forward Madison kit, I like the vid.
I'm currently doing a Bradford city save I'm in league 1 & in Europa by winning the fa cup the schedule is going to get crazy since I have like 8 games in hand & I've qualified for the next round last match against AC Milan hopefully get a result to finish in top 8
more like this 🔥🔥🔥
I started a save with tottenham. won the champs league in my second year. got fired at the end of the third year for having a massive 7 game loss streak at the end section of the season (I had literally 9 first 11 injuries.) Then got hired by bayern munich and had a really fun 3 way title race with leipzig and borussia dortmund lol
this is one of the videos all time
Oxford runners up in the FA Cup is kinda mad!!! And N. Ireland have just done a build a nation save on the side!!

Go and search fm starter guide and you will be just fine
I have started reciently with celta de Vigo and im having a lot of fun, i recommend trying mid table teams in the big leagues to understand a bit how the game works
It's fun if you are not hunting best wonder kids and meta tactics
@@user-xe6jc8ry3dcame here to say that
@@necomarquezestebanez3400Vigo is a great side
The "problem" here is we dont know if they use genie scout, fmse for example. And even reload.... i know all the fm "cheat" tools but i stopped using them. Yes, in my opinion only genie scout is acceptable to use sometimes to confirm a transfer in or out. Still, i disposed many 180 potential kids on genie, because i assumed they ca will not get them reach the full pa for example. Thats why i stop using them.
I dont trust these saves with the editor on , but Big Ups to the Tranmere save thats fantastic work
I don’t really have any crazy saves but in my current role play journey man save (fm23) my biggest sale was of all ppl Julien Duranville in the 2029/2030 season from dortmund to tottenham in the January window for in total 215 mil € (around 180 mil upfront I think). I don’t know why, he wasn’t even my best player. I literally had the eventual ballon dor winner that season Adeyemi (yes he won the ballon dor for dortmund, TWICE. another one in 2032 because moukoko won it in 2031 LOL). Duranville was just on some REALLY good form into the window I guess but the 2nd highest sale of the entire save only beat out by city at 216mil € (yeah I know).
Hull mention 👍
make this a series pls
Definitely stared at the handsome guy for a full 5 seconds at the end.
That thumbnail makes me very happy as a Hull supporter 😊
Mad what happen to the gaffer
likewise bro likewise😅 Acun clearly stuck with a good manager...
100%. Rosenior's sacking was harsh imo
The Gruner save is my favourite type of save to see on FM, the Black Knights one my least favourite.
What is that jersey you are wearing? I love it!
