- Our opening league game is against AEK, who've undergone a bit of a transformation themselves over the summer. I take you through my approach for opposition scouting, preparation, an game management.

Please do let me know what you think about plans for changing things up a little for this series - I'm keen to hear your thoughts!
Nice vid mr. Mustermann. About the changes, I’m always up for more details, especially about the data driven recruitment in both series
That's good to hear. I think what is important to me is that I can still bring the narrative through, and find that balance between detail, story and update length. Something I still haven't worked out, yet 🤣
Really like your idea changes and as a massive fan of your MoneyBall series I’d love to see more of that ! Another great video here today as well!
Ta very much. I really enjoy making both types of videos, and whilst Moneyball gets more views (kind of expected based on the nature of the videos), the crazy ones of you who stick around for PAOK and put up with my weirdness and bad jokes are far more important to me. So just want to try and find the right balance. Whatever that might be!
Hello Mr. Mustermann! I watched your attribute-less skin a month or so ago and while it was very well made with lots of community support, it scared me off due to my over-reliance on attributes haha. (I will try it once I save enough for FM24).
Then I saw your Moneyball clinic video on Frankfurt pop up in my recommendations a couple of days ago. I enjoyed it so much I subbed instantly and watched the Sevilla and Wolves video as well. You're doing incredible work and the level of effort and detail in your videos is amazing. This is exactly what most of us love about this game and why I switched from Fifa to FM back in 2016.
As for your question about the Moneyball clinic, I'd love to see them more frequently. I agree that the PAOK save could be done with longer videos covering a few months at a time with a few videos like these covering an important game. Whichever way you decide to go with your channel, I'll be here for both PAOK and the Moneyball clinic videos.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Welcome, dude! Thank you for the kind words and glad you've enjoyed things so far!
Whatever you decide to do im here for it, im loving the PAOK series as well as the moneyball clinic videos. I'll still enjoy them regardless of how many you upload a week and how long they are, its always great viewing!
Ta very much, sire!
Im not a long follower of your channel but I would love some more moneyball clinc episodes. I also enjoy this series tbh, so longer episodes and more moneyball clinic would be my prefered content
Thank you for your feedback.
I think the REAL long term solution is to find a benevolent millionaire who wants to bankroll me so I can quit my job and put out more of everything 😂
Great work with the PAOK series brother, you choose the best team for it...!!!
Γειά σου! And, thank you!
Love the bit about player ratings for the substitutes. Always felt it was better to give them enough time to get a rating, but I really liked your argument!
It's one of the few times I "game" the system. Almost immediately as the clock turns 75 minutes I'll make changes. If I need to make them earlier, I try and give them as much time as possible so as to give as much of a chance as possible for them to make a positive contribution - either at half time, or around the 55/60 minute mark.
@@mustermannfm May have a cheeky test of it next time I load it up
Up for changes that you mention! So far so good! Absolutely loving how your channel is doing
Thank you very much!!
This is really interesting and helpful. I always play with comprehensive highlights and try to react to things as much as possible but can definitely improve. This will help me a lot.
That's one of the hardest adjustments I had to make. I used to put it on full match and have the speed up quite high, but still that would mean every game took over 30 minutes. I can't make videos if I play THAT slowly 😂
Brilliant video. Really enjoyed this format!
Super! Thank you, dude!
Great video and series. Also love the moneyball series so happy to hear there will be more of that. As for the paok series I like the idea of more detail… was very interested to hear you always tight mark striker and press wingers in a 433 and once AEK changed formation you changed your instructions to match. Even in that part of the video more detail would be great. I’m still a noob compared to you are other content creators but you could easily dive into things like that where you say you always do certain things against certain formations and why. Even here I am wondering you always do that against these formations with your current tactic or with any tactic you use?
Anyway long run on comment but just figured I’d pass on my thought. Keep up the great content
Thank you for the comment, and not running on long at all!
In terms of pressing triggers for the 4-2-3-1, I do touch on it a bit here: czcams.com/video/EYFuukKCo1o/video.html - essentially we are sitting off in the opposition half, funnelling play inside, and then harassing as soon as they get into our half. The plan is to use the ball going into the AM as the trigger to converge from all sides, so there's no room for them to go.
Regarding tight marking the striker(s), with a back 3 system, I should always have a spare man, so I can afford for one to follow the opposition striker around whilst there will always be another left to cover if needs be. This kind of ties back to what was mentioned in the previous video about handoffs. When marking responsibility switches between two players, there is a brief moment where that player will be free. Tight marking will still see those handoffs occur, but it helps to ensure that those moments of "freedom" are relatively short.
In terms of whether I always do it. So in this save, yes. It's part of the overall tactical identity/plan. But how I approach it will be very different from save to save. Some saves I will have rules that I follow for every game. Others, Opposition Instructions will be situational only. Sadly, no hard and fast rules. It's all about understanding what you're trying to achieve with the tactic, and then working from there. Which also makes it hard to explain, because the tactical approach will often be tied to the players available, and that changes wildly from club to club.
Really enjoy the way you explain your actions and reactions. Just watching someone play can help pick up some things, but knowing what's going on with your decision making is gold dust. Thanks for the video.
Thank you, glad it was useful!!
Definitely mixing it up for me if it was just a series story one after another I’d lose interest or miss loads then watch some later. How you are doing it is perfect we have a series in Greece, lessons on data and recruiting etc and constantly learning about the skin. One thing you are inspiring me to do is…basically do more all the little tips and tricks are things I never do I just bomb through the game week by week not really paying attention to anything but that’s slowly changing
Thank you for your thoughts, dude!
I definitely enjoy those more topic-driven episodes, and tying that into the narrative. Even if it is drilling into a specific player and what they're doing well and what they're doing poorly; and I think it's difficult to do that properly when updating just a single month. When I was "blogging" on the SI Forums, it was always more interesting looking at things over longer periods of time (and with the knowledge of the outcomes beforehand, so that there's actual evidence to draw upon)
This is great stuff. Personally I really appreciate the detail level that you go into with your videos so if you change your format, keep that in mind. One question I had from this one is that you gave your starting 11 a day of rest after the previous match but you also had the typical Recovery and Match Review sessions the following day... Why the 1 day of rest?
Edit: I definitely would like to see your approach to handling playing time expectations, rotation and fitness over the course of a busy season.
Players who are "rested" still attend low-intensity sessions. There is a hover-over tip somewhere in the game that says that at least - not that I can remember exactly where. I also don't know what constitutes low-intensity. Recovery definitely does, but I don't know about Match Review. I would assume it does, considering the game only allows you to implement it the day after a game.
It is also worth pointing out that it is 1 extra day of rest. As you can see when I hover over the rest info in the squad screen - it says "2 days of rest" despite me only selecting 1, which I believe is related to the intensity thresholds set in Training -> Rest. This all helps to reduce fatigue over the course of the season.
Mate, you are a genius!
It had been a long time (as you already know) without being able to stop by here.
But I see that nothing has changed.
The way you approach your videos, the care in storytelling and, above all, how you approach the game in Football Manager, I find it SPECTACULAR!!
Great content!
Keep it up!
P.S. I'll try to catch up ;)
Thank you very much, dude, and I hope you are well! Good to see you back here 😁
Great vid,whatever you do il be watching 👏👏👏
I absolutely appreciate that 🙏 thank you!
Love the current stylistic format, the first FM series I've properly kept up with but I do appreciate changing it up will help keep interest up. Whatever you do, I think the way you play is unique enough that I'll (and others will) continue to watch regardless
This is exactly the reason I ask on this video, and not, for example on a community post!!
Moneyball Clinic gets more views, I love and appreciate everyone who watches them, and I enjoy making them...but those that follow the PAOK series are just a little bit more special to me. You've actively chosen to carry on watching the series despite my weirdness and bad jokes 😂 - so, your opinions here really matter!
What I will say is that the changes should not be a change to the style or quality (hopefully). What I intend would be for longer episodes, and for the match portions to perhaps tie in a little bit more closely with the narrative for whichever topic is the throughput for that episode. Where two episodes in a week might have a combined run time of 25 minutes, the single episode might be 20 minutes.
Regardless of whichever changes, we need as much PAOK as we can get. This is easily the best series on CZcams.
Thank you for the kind words!
The plan would be that you'd get a little less. 1 video a week instead of 2, but covering the same amount of time in game as 2 videos. Basically rather than 2 x 10-15 minute videos, you'll get 1 20-25 minutes. Might just cut down on a little bit of my nonsense!!
Already made notes to implement the Attacking/Defensive Shadow Play bits in the mornings before home and away games going forward to test it out myself LOL
banger of a vid so far Mustermann!
Cheers, dude!
I should add a disclaimer. No idea how effective it is, but it's a low-intensity session that feels appropriate, and also one of the ones that improves decisions and teamwork, so I can have those consistently addressed during the week.
@@mustermannfmi think ebfm tested it and said that it gives a little bit of a boost before a match
@@bogdancalin3097 is that not with the old Attacking Movement/Defensive Positioning sessions that were removed in FM24?
Great video! Abour changes or suggestions, I would like to see a bit more how do you find the players you want to sign. Cheers!
Fabulous suggestion, thank you!
Best one of the series for me as I struggle with game management! In fact this morning I asked for some help in the View From The Touchline discord server! Also, keen on your plans to talk "topics" in the next videos! Just one thing, though: in Greece we don't call them A-E-K (spelling the letters) but altogether like you say PAOK! So it's A (like in cat), E (like in echo) and K (like in PAOK)!
I tried to pronounce them correctly when recording for an earlier video, but it kept on sounding like I was saying Ajax, so I chickened out! Not that saying it as A-E-K has been any clearer. I've had to correct some of the automated subtitles that thought I was saying "kayak".
@@mustermannfm 🤣🤣🤣
You may be an idiot, but you're quite a clever one. Definitely picked up a few things there.
I don't watch the Moneyball series as much (I like these longer Let's Plays I can get invested in over time), but with the PAOK series I'll cop out and suggest you just do what you think produces the best end product. I'm sure it'll be good regardless of what you choose.
This is exactly why I've asked in this video, rather than on a Community Post. I really enjoy doing both types of video, and whilst Moneyball Clinic might get more views, those of you that have joined me in this PAOK journey are actually willing to put up with my weirdness and bad jokes 😂. Which means you guys are really important to me, so I'm always keen to canvas opinion where I can!
Another great video as always. However, one thing I would like to mention is, as a viewer who uses headphones, I think the background music should be lowered just a few clicks. I feel the screeching guitar distracts from what you're actually saying. But keep up your excellent work, as I'm really enjoying this save!
I'll keep that in mind, thank you.
I do use over-ear headphones whilst editing (and do test playback sthrough speakers, too). Let me tell you, is a horrible experience. It's bad enough hearing your own voice back, let alone through headphones 🤣. Very conceivable, though, that my familiarity with the content and aversion to my own voice means I have the background music too high, so thank you for raising this, and I'll see what tweaks I can make.
@@mustermannfm Thanks for the reply! I really hate criticising any CZcams content, considering the effort that goes into the videos, and the fact they're free. So I really didn't want to sound like an arse, I just thought it was a valid point worth raising.
And to be honest, I really enjoy just the crowd noise during the matches - but hey, you're the boss! Looking forward to the new schedule of videos too. Keep it up, pal.
@@BrokenBaculum feedback is always welcome. Vital, in fact, for improvement!
Just for clarification on during matches: are you referring to the background music that fades out once the game starts, or the narration? Or that the crowd noises aren't audible enough?
@@mustermannfm Sorry if I was unclear. What I meant was I enjoyed your narration, along with the crowd noise and the sound of the football being hit; I felt the two were very complementary. The noises are more than audible enough, so no issues there 👍
@@BrokenBaculum ah, gotcha. I know that crowd noises can be a divisive issue, so just wanted to check.
As a newbie to FM and your channel love the deep dive into how you play the game. Is that comprehensive highlights? Also is there any reason you dont pause while making adjustments?
For PAOK I think 20 to 30 minutes is a great video length, some portion to catchup on results and then a deeper dive into an aspect of how you run the club or a developing storyline sounds like a great watch.
That is comprehensive, yes. I don't pause because there isn't a pause button in real life (and the games take long enough as it is!!) - I also used to play full matches, at second to highest speed before YT, so the games used to take a lot longer, and there would be plenty of time where nothing of interest would happen, so there was no need to pause. This is a holdover from those times. As is, probably, shouting to individual players, as I'd be able to react a lot easier to isolated incidents that might otherwise seem mundane - things such as misplaced passes under absolutely no pressure, for example.
I had to look up for the Ponce joke. 🤣🤣🤣
I'm just grateful to Greece for passing that law so I could actually make a joke that references a current event!
subbed because you picked paok and use the best greek wonderkids in years, konstantelias, koulierakis and tzimas
They are great players aren't they! I know Konstantelias is possible the most exciting, but I really like Koulierakis.
Loving the video's I always learn something. Do you have a video or plan on doing one? Showing how you prepare for a game if you're not able to watch the opposition?
I don't have one planned. Thinking about it now, I'm not sure there are any situations where the opposition are of a particularly high standard but haven't played any games that I could watch back/check the analysis for. If it does come up, I'll consider covering it for a video.
Fantastic video! You do this for every game or only important ones?
I don't do this for every game. Apologies if that was misleading. As mentioned at the beginning, AEK have hired a new manager, and given they are a good team, I want to actually observe it before we played them. As long as Capellas is in charge, I won't go into that detail again; I'll just check what players are available/likely to play. Although relying on my memory might not be the best strategy 😂
I won't be doing that for teams that I'm not worried about; but also results can impact that. Last season we drew against OFI, a team I wasn't too concerned about, and so when we played them a second time, I made sure to do my research. I'll also do it for probably every team in the UCL proper.
Make whatever change you feel is better :)
Thank you 🙏
I'm keen to canvas opinions, specifically from those who have joined me on the PAOK series so far. I'm still shocked that so many people have been following along on my relatively small and young channel, and haven't been put off by my weirdness and bad jokes. Not yet, at least 🤣
I would genuinely appreciate it if you ran a Moneyball clinic on FC Cincinnati. Someone needs to understand the MLS financial system and its NOT going to be me!
NEVER!! As a Browns fan, I couldn't bring myself to go near anything Cincinnati 😂
Joking aside, I did do Wolves despite being a Villa fan, so that wouldn't actually be an issue. Getting my head around the various MLS exceptions might be, though!! I'll add them to the list, but as I'm mentioning to every suggestion, the list is getting long, so no guarantees it would happen this game cycle.
@mustermannfm as a Browns fan I'm sure you can.. massage.. that video in somewhere into the lineup (kidding lol)
But nah man all your videos are gold doesn't matter the order they're always worth the watch.
But with the MLS there is enough meat on the bone with, obviously their own Championship, plus the Concacaf champions league, plus the club world cup -- and if you needed more you could always run the USMNT and make FCC the training ground for the USMNT the way Atlanta has tried to be for the past few years.
@@dbrown992 I see the Watson puns coming now. You should probably Burrow your head in the ground after that one 😉
The MLS is a fascinating league, and I actually had my eye on Portland as a possible candidate for an episode (mainly because Timber Jim is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in football). The rules aren't necessarily that complicated, but I think the FM struggles with the implimentation. Which is kinda understandable, too, as the model is so wildly different to every other league system in the world!
@mustermannfm I think someone made a mod for it that glues all the pieces together but it would make for some interesting content for sure -- that being said all of your content is solid man. Keep it rolling homie
So you give your whole starting line up 1 day's rest after every single game? Does this work well and what is the benefit? So do you not schedule any training sessions on the day after a game ever either? Or do you for the other players who haven't played? I usually have a match review session the day after a game, which my starting 11 would miss if i give them a day off.
Players who are "rested" don't attend pitch or gym work sessions, but will still attend others, such as Recovery or Match Preparation sessions.
It is also worth pointing out that it is 1 extra day of rest. As you can see when I hover over the rest info in the squad screen - it says "2 days of rest" despite me only selecting 1, which is because after a match their condition will be low and automatically incorporates a day of rest (based on my settings in Training -> Rest). This all helps to reduce fatigue over the course of the season.
I didn't know that. Makes sense. Thanks.@@mustermannfm
I have default skin so how can I see pass maps and team analysis mid game (not just half time)?
You can't in the default. You'd need to download a skin, or add it in yourself, although the layout of the default is not conducive to such
Btw can I see how fluid my tatic is on your skin?
I can't seem to find it.
No, it was deliberately removed. Fluidity is just a count of defend/support/attack duties compared to the mentality. When I get back to skinning (after the next patch), I'll check through it, and let you know what needs to be changed to restore it.
How long does a season take if you go into this much detail per game?
We're at about the 60 hour mark currently. 1 league game into season 2 🙈.
Although, just to be clear, I don't do this for every game. Apologies if that was misleading. As mentioned at the beginning, AEK have hired a new manager, and given they are a good team, I want to actually observe it before we played them. As long as Capellas is in charge, I won't go into that detail again; I'll just check what players are available/likely to play.

@@mustermannfm Thanks for the reply, please no need to apologise, you play the game how ever you want to! I find it incredible the amount of detail the game has to offer and didn't know much of the screens existed.
@@CallMeSpoon there are a lot of screens. And many of them are only situationally useful. And it's not immediately obvious when those situations are 😂
