The Worst Contract I've Ever Seen on FM (SYS)

- I spend a lot of time talking about wonderkids, scouting, tactics, and transfers in Football Manager. But, there is one thing that can massively screw you that I don’t usually talk about. Contracts, you know the thing where you keep players on your team for a certain amount of time. It’s a usually benign part of FM, but in this save your saves, one contract rises above them all. It is the worst contractual decision I have ever seen in Football Manager, and it really is not that close.
It’s also the third edition of saving saves or save your saves or whatever it is. Football manager’s premier saving tutorial guide thing. You all love it, I love doing it, everyone gets better at FM. It’s a triple win. We also touch on how to build a champions league winning team, how to overcome PSG and Bayern, and how to set up your tactic to handle different points in a save. There is also an original track for my upcoming album at the end, extolling the virtues of a particular type of FM transfer strategy.
Much Love,
FM Senpai

#FootballManager #Gaming #Hashtags - Hry
I know nothing about Football Manager, never played it in my life, but for some reason I love watching this man's videos.
You should get started, then. It is such an addictive game, you might like it. Just give it a go at least 😉
Trust me bro, I only started playing 2 weeks ago, and oh my days am I addicted. About 80 hours in two weeks already
@@dylanredding1856 had it since about december 2nd and already got 880 hours 😂
@@dylanredding1856 the time evaporator that is fm 😆😆😆
I’m glad for you guys, you’re doing the right thing haha 😆
Imagine complaining about not finding good wonderkids yet refusing to WIRE THE WORLD
Not a single reply, so imma give you one.
@@yeetmaster9010 You know what i think I’ll make it 2
Bit late to the party but ill make it three
better late than never, 4
Better very late than never. 5
Think that contract is bad. Got promoted to Championship bought a good at the time striker, put him on a 4 year contract and amazingly got promoted to Prem straight away. Hadn't noticed when I signed the striker he had a match highest earner clause, when I started signing players in the Prem his wage went through the roof, originally he was on £2000 a week but now with 6 months left on his contract he is not even making the bench for my U23 team and and earning £275,000 a week
Hahahaha that is the funniest contract situation I've ever heard. Put that in the Reddit.
This is why it's extremely important to look at everything in the contract and also to try and keep the wages down as agents or players will always try and get the biggest deal possible, so it's up to the manager to keep it down so it doesn't hurt the club's finances.
Did something similar in FM19 i think. Signed someone in L1 or 2 with a 50% promotion increase then never re-negotiated... Got some quick promotions but then he wasn't good enough for the CH/PL and couldn't shift him as he was on insane wages
Haha but seriously and I thought Henri Lansbury at Aston villa was steeling aliving
I had the same thing happen on fm15, Liam Marsden (who now plays for Matlock Town irl ahaha) got a ridiculous wage hike around 175k a week for my Mansfield team
I choose to believe every video has a musical portion, but Reese edits them out. This one made it in because he's on vacation
This is the explanation i was looking for lol.
Haha this is brilliant

When I read "Worst Contract" I thought of it from a player's perspective, lol. Since I play LLM and suck up regens, I often get Wonderkid-ish players on utterly shitty contracts for 6-7 years, hardly any bonuses, clauses. Sometimes I literally feel bad for them, 1K signing fee, ~10k/a for 6-7 years, 5% increase per year, nothing else for 160+ PA players.
Jorge Campos is still blaming a Mexican laundry for losing that shirt...
😂😂😂
Am I the only one to sing along with his loan song? No...?
No you weren’t
16:51 Now this is why I watch Zealand. Crazy, entertaining stuff with no self-awareness.
It was cringe as f*ck
@@watteffer Exactly.
@@watteffer You sound like a right barrel of laughs
@@RosheEntertains good old american comedy.....
@@watteffer So was Watteffer Sr, but you don't hear me going on about it
That ending was perfect 👌🏾
Sure, but unsure if he wants us to loan players or not...
It still find it strange seeing annual salary (in dollars), rather than weekly wage (in pounds). The numbers throw me every time.
Yeah its just the way Americans view contracts as opposed to Europeans. Divide it by 50 and it generally makes more sense.
@@Roscododger Whenever he's at a small club, I look at the players salaries and think "that guy is on a pretty decent contract", then realise it's annually.
Then he looks at Barca and the numbers seem silly as I'm still thinking weekly. At this point it's just too ingrained I think, lol..
I prefer monthly wage (in euros) lol
@@maciejbala477 I'd find that a bit easier I think, as I'd only be dividing by 4, lol
I seriously have difficulties with the weekly wage setting.
I have no feeling whatsoever for the weekly wages.
But if I see the complete number what I'm going to spend I can be quite a good FM negotiator (sometimes lol). I mean in my life I never came into contact with a weekly wage, I always got payed for a month so i guess I'm packing the experience
Zealand man, I've been playing Football Manager (and championship manager before) since the 90's, but one of the best things to come out of that game is your channel. Incredibly interesting and freaking hilarious. KUTGW, I hope you continue making videos for a long, long time.
Closest thing to a CZcams save we are getting
Again, Zealand is too busy right now for a CZcams save. With streaming, podcasts, videos, meetings, PLUS GRADUATE SCHOOL sadly there just isn't a slot where YT saves fit in.
Just get twitch Ffs. It's completely free and it's the exact same content that you're requesting. Why would he go out of his way to provide the exact same product twice just to satisfy people too stubborn to use multiple platforms?
@@Bobertron199494 Hey be nice man, I totally get why everyone wants a CZcams save even though I personally don't. Not everyone can watch the streams or have the time to. For now we have the vod channel and that's good enough for me.
@@Bobertron199494 The Twitch replays are even on YT.
But not everyone has got time to watch multiple hour long videos/streams every two or three days to keep up with the save.
But I really understand that Zealand hasn't got the time and it's fine to me but the twitch argument isn't a good one (at least in my opinion).
I'd even scout Central America too... every once and again they get a couple world beating wonder kids.
Also somebody get this man his editor back he's going feral
Be strong in regaining trust. Freeze them out for 4-6 games then slowly make bench for another 4 games and bring them on a couple of times. Worked for me a couple of times, just remaining strong.
We need a petition for Zealand’s new “loans” song to get published 🤣
The first save was the Newcastle United challenge.
Manager: Has money. Won't spend it.
Also Manager: Sells top players. Doesn't replace them.
Also, also Manager: :O How am I doing worse than expected?
Also known as the Tottenham Hostpur challenge
Also known as Arsene Wenger mode.
Also known as Manchester United Challenge
what you said at 8:47 - 8:51 is what convinced me to sub 😂
Love these videos! I did a Cukaricki save in FM20. I got to the UCL group stage in my 3rd season. Our best success in sourcing good starters were the non-top 2 in that league and nearby countries with manageable release clauses. We got good squad players from Africa (didn’t load the league) and our youth system (poured money into it). Good luck!
These SYS videos are class keep doing them please buddy 👍
Lmao About to Finish my night shift and this Beauty decides to wake up early and post. Love you bro!
He lives in Florida so he isn’t waking up early, it’s just different time zones
@@dercamemm6021 it was 5am in Florida when he posted this vid LOL what are you on about?
@@DaveJones-ul5cx You ever heard of this thing called a scheduled release??
I’m subscribing for two reasons. That jumper and the song at the end. Absolutely baller
The more I watch you the funnier I think you are, the end was great. And also great educational videos, started two days ago with Lecce in Serie B...not really sure what I'm doing but I'm not as overwhelmed thanks to you.
I also signed a future best in the world goalkeeper in Peru for $2k, so yeah. Scout South America West
Hey Z just passing by to let you know that some zooms were a bit off in this video
Yeah its a new editor for the channel who, I thought, did a great job overall. Especially with that "loans" sequence. But yeah the zooms were a bit off tbf.
Careful, that Ayal dude might kill you for that
@@falagarius It was Sam but yes Ayal would kill you lol
That Barcelona guy does not know the aged FM rule. 28 and above is too old to sign, they may as well as starting using a walking stick
Not too often a YT makes me actually laugh out loud. Bravo, Zealand. Perfect ending 😂
I love these Saving saves videos!
This is gold! Love your content man
That loan song was widely unexpected but fully appreciated.
I love this series, keep doing it pls
Central America, that's always been a save saver for me when it comes to players. No matter the club and position I can always find someone who helps if not saves my career. I also always look for a decent scout to scout that area, if i switch jobs I take him with me.
Soy de Centroamérica y es bueno saber que en fm pueden salir buenos jugadores, ya sabes de África también salen muy buenos jugadores.
That pronunciation of Cukaricki is sending me so hard, that was hilarious :D
Love this, my favourite series
Did a Barca save myself and just transitioned the older players out by playing them less
Alba, Bouquets and Pique all asked to leave for a new challenge
Coutinho refused to leave so loaned out for as much wage as I could and let his contract go
Messi kept offering contracts just so his contract would he less and used him as cover and good mentor for the younger players
Also brought it the cheat code that is Haaland
Good job managing that impromptu concert at the end, Reese!
As always bud.....top class FM21 content
The king of soul wtf
Trust is easy to regain if you regularly praise players for their training, or criticize them when they are being lazy in training, and praise them to the max in the media. If you aren't on the short end of a contract feel free to hold on to angry players for a season to see if a couple of trophy's convince them that their bitchfit wasn't worth having. Once you get a good general feeling in the lockeroom you can often use the option in conversations that says something to the like of "you won't find a team environment like this..." to generally get your way out of trouble. Hitting the praise button under the training reports might seem monotonous- but it builds rapport with your players.
Old comment but I went from adversarial to very close with Calvert-Lewin in I think a little over a season through mostly just through training praise, match praise and the like after I refused to sell him or give him a new contract
@@man4437 Yeah this exactly. I can't tell you how many times I've turned down big transfers and had to deal with a bit of a tiff. I also really like the dialogue option that says you turned down the transfer because it didnt represent their value- as long as you've set a ridiculous transfer value on the said players they will generally agree (which btw in order to do so if they take issue with their value simply choose the response saying that you think they are that valuable).
i was horrible at Fm, then i started watching ur videos, now im just bad not horrible :)
mans is like FM's Gordon Ramsey; very critical and blunt but knowledgeable.
Gotta add this song to my playlist LOANS
Zealand's new club : "but boss, we already have a new kit"
Zealand: "Now we have an even newer one"
Players : "But boss, these our not our club's colors"
Zealand : "WEAR MY MERCH"
Bringing out you're inner Hector Bellerin with that jumper 🔥🔥😂😂
Some of the zooms were weirds, couldn't really see what Zealand was talking about. But apart from that, the edit was good !

I remember that time a Sunday league side wanted to sign me. When I popped into the local pub to discuss contract terms my value went from 3 pints of Guinness to £1.2million + Add ons. amazing what happens in England
Instantly heard the Save By The Bell theme song in my head when I saw the jumper
Absolutely love these vids 👍👍👍
Can’t believe I’m watching Zack Morris talk about football manager
This comment is horrifically under appreciated
Now That is a proper Zack Morris sweater!!
The Rick and Morty bit at the end was fantastic!!
That Busquest deal...he is trying to be SAF with Giggs and Scholes?
15:14 the drunk busquets signing had me dyin 😂
Love the content! Maybe you could help me directly though, what is the best way to take advantage of the opposition using wingbacks on attack both sides, with out leaving my self completely open down the flanks ?
That thing with the scoutingassignment is just a label "problem" if you manually instruct your scout to scout for players, in specific age, potential/ability, it will label in the overview of scoutingassignments that you are scouting for squadplayers even if you are looking for hot prospects if you have it customized.
So you have to put up "hot prospect" ? Or is it just a visual bug that has no impact ?
Oh God, those contracts at Barca. Loved it
The Old Messi really floored me I did not expect that 😭😭😭
I just started a save that I like to call "the hardest yet". I started unemployed, with no managerial experience and no licenses. I have been hired by a team from the second division of Gibraltar. So far great. The most curious thing about the game is that I have a mod without attributes (I only see colored lines, which give me a slight idea of the player). So I have to be guided by my coaching staff.
Let's see how far I get in the save.
Update us rn
that sounds insane
What happend ?
Did manager shoot himself
WHAT HAPPEENEEEEED
oh no guys i think it was too hard he couldn't handle the team and the fans hired a hitman to kill him and get rid of him
The start of this video gives me flashbacks on some of the players i've had over fm saves... a suriname winger i got on a free called roel verwey who got one goal and twenty-one assists on loan, a legendary bolivian keeper called marcelo juarez and the time i got a colombian winger for 230k called oscar aguilar and sold him for 99 million
Hilarious edit, Reece 👌
Come for the content, stay for the shirts!
Zealand heading up the Jorge Campos appreciation club with that humdinger of a sweater.
I finally found the video. We need a damn full version of that song!
This title really reminds me that player contracts and values in general don't get talked about a lot in football like at all. You see it all the time in the NBA, NFL, NHL, MLB whenever free agency rolls around or when star players sign contract extensions.
Maybe the leagues you watch, in Portugal it's definitely a talking point
liked the video in the first few senconds just because of the jumper
With that low voice on the "Loan-song", you could totally cover Chocolate Rain!
You made my day!
LOAN!!! xD Felt so bad i couldnt watch the stream last 2-3 days because of work... looking forward to more streams
Worst contracts I'VE ever seen are always my own manager's contracts. I generally walk after getting a team to the top tier, because managers who were relegated get better wages than me.
ANYWAYS....
Would you consider doing a "How to park the Bus" video? Every time I try to play fully defensively, I just get pummeled with opposition highlights until they score. At which point I get pissed off and crank up the Offense. I then swear never to go defensive again.
I'd really love to see such a video, because I'm a massive cheater who is trying to reduce the amount of cheating I do now that I'm in FM21. 2 years ago I knew bupkis about soccer( yep;American), so I've been learning about it from FM20 and now fm21.
Great show.
also love to see more attribute testing
The Zealand barbershop quintet looks incredible
This ended like a Rick & Morty cable advert lol
Lol homie in control of the Barca save sounds like the reason they’re in financial trouble right now
Amazing dude, when is the album coming out?
16:13 an idea with Busquets is to press him to do coaching badges and then 2 years into the deal offer him a player coach contract which will be less cash
Dude, for the first save (Eintracht), Zealand is absolutely right. Your cheapest wonderkids are going to be in South America outside of the big 3 (Argentina, Brazil, Venezuela). Where is Matias Arezo from? That's right, not the big 3. The third save I love because in my Malaga save, Barca sold me Gavi for 1 mil. He was my AMC for two seasons until I got Yusuf Demir (then Gavi moved to midfield alongside Nicolo Rovella).
Yusuf Demir is unreal in fm 21. Best inverted winger I had this year, wouldnt swap him for any 100m player.
How on earth is Venezuela part of the big 3?
@@Kimera794 as a venezuelan, I would love to know too how are we there wtf
What happened? Did we become good and I didn't notice xd
@@Kimera794 Cost wise. Those three nations tend to ask the most for their young talents, in my experience. I can gut the rest of South America for pennies but those countries tend to put the highest values on their youth. It's been a while (FM18) since I've even focused scouting there though. The deals in Uruguay, Peru, Chile, Colombia, and Paraguay are just too good. Especially when running a Spanish club.
Venezuela its a big 3? Lmao
Ahahahaha the old pics of Busquests and Messi made me laugh so hard
Thank you for the notification Vanessa
It’s always tough to “take the next step” from being a Poland league winner or Serbia or whatever. The next step obviously being competing for a Champions League. It’s not only hard to get the money but it also can be hard to keep players. I swear you can be winning in Poland and getting to the Champions League group stage every year and I swear you’ll have players who want to leave to go play in the Championship...
in serbia you cant have more then 4 foren players, thats the problem at cukaricki
How does this guy not have at least 10 mil subs? He's class
Future Liverpool manager right here
This man's wardrobe tho 🔥
3:49 mate you just caught me lacking, I was about to ask that question lmao
Question, isn´t it possible when searching for "squad" players in Africa that a potential wonderkid might show up? A 17 year old who could be a squad player now? I know the propper procedures to search for wonderkids, was just curious as I have actually never tried to search for a squad player amongst 15-18 year olds.
I am going to try and search for fringe players between the age of 15-17 year olds in Eastern Europe, if it does come up with just one, that´s a signing. Stupid idea but going to try it anyway.
love these
I have a dortmund save that needs saving. I've not touched it in weeks. How do I get in touch with you? Can't get over the UCL hump.
16:45 Mad production values
Absolute madlad
What skin do u use and what graphic pack with it too please? I like the layout of yours alot
This is the base skin! All I know is he uses the DF11 facepack
Love the loan song 😂
Where’s the jumper from? It’s class
As if that song is stuck in my head now
thats why i always get rid of promises on contract talks, especially the find loan one, if no one offers to loan them they loose trust in you
TBF, that is quite drippy.
If that contract is bad, what about the time I accidentally gave a 18 year old prospect 9 millions per year?
Actually Busquets is one guy, in both real life and FM, that could still be good when he is 38. What makes him good, again both in game and in real life, is basically completely centered around his intelligence, his positioning (among the best in his positioning all time), passing and a certain kind of ball skills. He’s always been damn near immobile. More so in game than in real life. Although he’s never been anything but slow in real life either. I don’t know. I mean what stat that makes him the player he is will go down with age? Although it’s still a horrible contract of course. Partly because I don’t think Busquets, even in his prime, at his peak, had ever really translated to FM properly. (I mean it’s not as bad as in FIFA. Lol. Where the guy had like a 88 rating but was one of the worst players in the game he was so bad.) I mean he’s not bad. It’s FM, not FIFA. But I don’t think he’s worth his price and you have Pedri... I certainly wouldn’t tie him up with a long term contract.
Can we please get the Loan Song as a solo video?
Jesus your sweater is something else 😂😂😂
I love watching you Seth MacFarlane 👌
