If I Can’t Save Their Save They Delete FM

- Save Your SAVES IS BACK LETS GOOOOO. The series where you send in your Football Manager saves with issues and I do my best to fix them. This could be tactics, transfers, wonderkid scouting, or just straight up tomfoolery from your board in the most FM way possible. I have played a truly absurd amount of Football Manager and will bring all my knowledge to bear to help.
This includes a very special one too. Someone found my business email and sent it a heartfelt plea to help their save because it was affecting their mental health and making them want to delete the game. That doesn’t sit right with me because my goodness this is a wonderful game and I want to make sure everyone can enjoy it. I say happy FMing for a reason! I think!
Much Love,
FM Senpai

Marcus render (Cork save) wonderkid loan farm, last year second yellow card (youtuber and streamer) did a build a nation and won the champions league after about 30 seasons. He had an insane loan farm, he uploaded season reviews on his CZcams, maybe check it out as he did give out tips and he ended up having about 100 players loaned out to Irish teams. Its a good series, I would recommend
Second Yellow Card has a ton of great videos too. I second your recommendation
What’s the video called
@@RhuMedia building a nation treaty united recaps. He has a playlist with 30 season recaps
@@adamcooper4891 omg I just checked out the 30 year recap season videos I’m like 5 seasons on all ready this series is sick
Second yellow card was my favorite FM content creator last year
aw, the end was very sweet!
i only started playing fm last year after being "scared" of it and its apparently complexity for years, so i understand their troubles to an extent. i have however played too much of it so now i'm quite decent at it. i promise the game isn't *actually* hard, it just has a lot of stuff you can simply ignore or delegate, at least to begin with. or take the lollujo approach to fm, it works!
hope they can get back into it and find joy!
Yep, delegating a bunch of stuff makes learning the game much easier. You can get the basics right, then if you want more control over scouting, training, etc, you can take control of that too. If you go in blind trying to do everything, it'll be completely overwhelming. Hell, i've been playing for years and theres still a fair few things I leave to the assistant manager lmao
I've been playing for years so have seen the iterations of the game as I've gone along and adapted but I have thought for a long time that if I was a brand new player I'd be pretty daunted by all the options. I tried to play Out of the Park Baseball which is a baseball manager sim and I don't know much about baseball and that game seemed so complicated so I imagine that's what someone new to FM must feel. Like other people have said if anybody is new to the game and struggling just delegate a lot of the tasks. Also, if you think tactics are the problem try using one of the preset recommended tactics that you get when you first join the club and then make small changes to those rather than try and reinvent the wheel with lots of crazy player roles. If in doubt do what all England managers did for a couple of decades and go four four f'ing two and go long to the big man up front and pray
what is the lollujo approach to fm?
@@galuh.mp4620 I think he means delegate tactics and day to day stuff and just scout and sign players/staff
What is the Lollujo approach? Out of interest?
Babe wake up new saving your saves just dropped
Good one, as if FM players have girlfriends 😂😂
@@GIBBO4182 i do brother🤣
@@kyangillis no you don't
@@GIBBO4182 so what games you play has something to do with having a girlfriend?
@@rotegino7536 it’s just a little joke ffs
When do we get the ultimative Zealand save "No loans starting in the lower leagues".... also known as "The Zealand torture save" ??
The last save was so wholesome
Zealand, for the youth academy challenge you should get tactics that line-up with the preferred tactics of the Head of Youth Development (or get a head of youth development that lines up with your personal preferences).
That way you're more likely to get players that fit whatever it is you're trying to do.
agreed! that has been a big change for me as well.
Damn that last save really reminded of my 3rd season with my hometown club in my first ever FM save. Just so many mistakes that I had to find out through trial and error, sometimes pure luck. FM is extremely overwhelming when you start out, and there is so much you have to learn simply by failing.
couldn’t say it better, i’ve only been playing for two years and now is the first time i’ve actually felt like i had a chance in a save lol
@@russellshectman932 Yeah, and then you feel like a tactical god when you take "Barry and his mates from the Pub" United from tier 17 to the Premier League in 20 seasons.
That's typically how it works with these (non-live service) games. I started with FM15 and got sacked 17 times straight. The problem with me is, I'm American so 'football' to me involves high speed collisions, so I was learning the actual game and the video game at the same time. Over the years I've developed my own style (YOUTH and the Belichick method - sell a player a year too early rather than a year too late) and it's been successful every year since. Virtuous circle: winning makes you money and money helps you win.
@@Remianen 17 times? You made me chuckle... But you proved Losing=Learning.
@@madsin6516 Yep! I kept starting new saves when I got fired (I thought getting sacked = game over). My first FM save was with Chester then Bristol Rovers then Dag & Red. Lost track after that.
Interesting that you find early crosses and underlaps counter-intuitive, it has been extremely effective for me in multiple saves, scoring very reliably with my center midfielders along the way.
Feels like kind of a way to do both? Playing in FM22 by the way.
09:28 - Can I say as a Pole, a thus a person from the eastern part of CENTRAL Europe that this distinction is highly appreciated, and with such diplomatic knowledge, I can only hope you (or someone schooled by you on this matter) will become the next US ambassador to Poland! Thank you!
🎵You gotta have loans, you gotta have loans🎵
Love this series I just starting playing fm myself this year after watching content on it for years started My Chelsea save in 2026 currently
Funny thing happened recently Grimsby got a take over after being relegated to the non league then got 2 back to back promotions up to league 1 after a consortium brought them
I'm hoping they climb all the way up to the prem 👍
Your editor & animator have outdone themselves, wow
Zee, I just wanted to say you're an extremely wholesome person. I don't even play this anymore but I'm always coming back to spend some time with you. Also way above average singing voice lmao keep up the good work and best of wishes to you and everyone you love!
I missed this. Great content. Cheers mate
Shoutout to Cork City left back Kevin O’Connor who in the first year of my City save scored 9 free kicks.
Unfortunately after building them up diligently for a good 5 years and putting in decent Europa League campaigns I abandoned the pretense of realism and just gave them €1b because it’s nice to have nice things happen to your local club.
Happy Holidays Z. Can’t wait until you and the Peacocks are back!
Ah, NK Jadran Luka Ploče save made me proud of our Third division :) Great save idea, need to give a try with it, but with some Zagreb/Greater Zagreb Third division club, academy players only.
Hope u had a wonderful xmas. Thanks for the video my only complaint is its nowere near long enough. 😏 stay safe 👊
What about Taunton
Great to see Middelfart Boldklub get a mention. I would love to see Zealand take them on next year. Up with the Farts!
Lol actually got sacked by them. So there’s that. I’m also up with the Farts
Hey Z, my save is the Iraklis one, will keep you updated on the save and how it progresses and will definitely try out a 3 man midfield for some more solidity. Thanks for the help!
It looks like one of knap tactics, you're using. Try one for underdogs.
so... did it work?
In my 5 years i managed in The Netherlands And promoted volendam *(Also got relegated)* twice made fc utrecht conference leauge champion and winner of 1st division. It feels very very good and you need some time for this game. For me it was almost 8years lol, btw thanks by this guy too🙏🏽
Next title should be saving this save to save the world.
Who else only tuned in for the loan song…😂
Pov: me trying to loan players. This player does not want to play on loan for you
Hey Zealand, I have a video suggestion/request for you;
Could you please explain us how the fifa world rankings works? Are they even used for anything? Why is Belgium still freaking top 5?? And much more questions that could be answered.
Thanks, keep doing good stuff, you're great 💪
they are used for seedings on World Cup group stages. and basically Belgium are still top 5 because they had a lot of points accumulated from before the World Cup, it's a cumulative thing
best zealand video yet. Feels like a normal yt vid
The last save kinda shows a bigger problem. Often there ae so many easy solutions we can't think about. It is obvious when pointed out, but it's so easy to overlook especially with new players. And I don't expect of anybody to find every solution themselves.
Sooppo glad this is back😁
Editing and graphics were on point this video
Hey Zealand, I would love to see how big is the impact of 5-star staff. When I start a season in a new club I spend hours on searching for the best staff possible, but how important is that? Is that true that better coaches actually coach better? I mean, If I manage a young talanted team, how much will they lose if their coaches are not 5 stars? And actually I've got tons of questions on the staff. Will a better negotiating Director of Football sell players more effectivelly, or will he have more response from the clubs when I add someone to the sell-list? I have no idea why I keep looking for the best Technical director while I dont see any vaguest clue what this guy even does.
I’m now looking forward to a pop-punk cover of the loan song.
Did you know Christian eriksen played for middlefart when he was younger
Lol nice kit. I work for the company who makes the Cleveland SC jerseys. Love to see it
This is the Z content I love the most
This is my favorite series!
Love how the guy says hes quitting FM after one season at Leeds hahah. As a Leeds fan I feel the pain
Please please please do a video with the last guy in 2 weeks where you see the progress he made.
YESSSSSSSSS Finally ... Zeeland has come back ..... with LOANSS
The Iraklis save is insane
tbh with so many "wonderkids" feels like the TV money can help them survive with a couple sales, definitely a bit of an impatient case.
Τα αστέρια είναι σε σχέση σχέση με την ομάδα του άρα δεν πολυπιανονται για γουοντερκιντς. 5 αστέρια potential για τον Ηρακλή είναι 1.5 αστέρι για την Μπάγερν. Καλούς ελεύθερους πρέπει να ψάχνει μετά την 1 Ιουλίου όπου και δέχονται παίχτες με υψηλό reputation να έρθουν σε μικρότερες ομάδες και με λιγότερα χρήματα.
As a leeds fan, watching leeds in real life also greatly negative affects my mental health too. FM21 killed it with the accuracy.
Best series!
"This was obviously filmed before..."
I expected him to say "a live studio audience" LOL
Z, can we get an updated scouted guide for this years revamp of scouting?
Also thanks for the tips! I'll use them (hopefully well)
Hello from Croatia
Zea went full Dave Chappelle with the "artistic nuance" point there. Well done.
I like the idea of the Cork City save, wrong club though😜
Huge fan of these… Noticed the Cleveland fc jersey, couple of my boys play for them
Shoutout to the Cleveland SC kit 👌 Way to rep The Land
Interesting, I've never done a completely youth based save. That could be fun
Your brilliant mate 😂 ❤🎉
Great animations!
Loans are very hard on this fm, I’m Leira and PL clubs want too much money for them
happy new year happy new save my save
When will the Taunton save come to the live channel?
We need a full version of the Loans song!
I tried to make a career with Cefn Druids, after 6 seasons they didn't want to give me professional status, after I went to the Europa Conference League twice and came second in the league, TNS can't be beaten until I could buy players normally, now I started again in Germany with Nuremberg
If the guy from the save in Denmark is reading this you don't need to use a DM to be successful in a tactic with no wingers. I'm using a 4-3-1-2 (3 cm) with a lot of success, for it to work offensively your full-backs need to be on a attacking role because they need to stretch the opposition defense wide and the have to be able to carry the ball, full backs on attack, wings-backs on attack work but CWB on attack work wonders (even if they players you have aren't suited for the role). Your RCM and your LCM need to be roles that explore the half space/wings, mezzallas on support it's what works the best but you can use any role that occupies wider areas. The CM needs to be the fake DM so anything with a defensive role apart from BWM, DLP on defend is what I normally use. Both strikers NEED to be pressing forwards, any other roles disrupts the team defensively especially against teams that pass the ball well. You either set up with a low block and a standard line or with a high press and a much higher defensive line.
the last one low key sounds like something Reading would do irl…and that pains me too say as a reading fan
i started and i keep losing some easy games and gown an addiction of throwing water bottles
Why don't I have a head of sports science, a physio or a sports scientist? These are the staff positions I almost always forget exist
finallyyyy!!!!!
There are no wrong notes if you have enough confidence.
That loans song was sweet
"D seems porous without DM" we've all been there buddy
Hey Zealand, I have a question about scouting in those hidden gem countries/areas. Do you need to load those leagues beforehand to unearth those hidden gems or do you need scouts who have great knowledge about those areas and don't have those leagues loaded? Awesome video btw!
I’m actually doing a Middelfart Boldklub save as well
Dude if that is a cleveland sc kit that is the team that my high school soccer coach also coaches at lol. What a small world.
Nice Cleveland SC jersey!
might need this guy to save the A league
I'm switching to FM Mobile because FM regular is just overwhelming for my spare-time.
Pro-tips :
Prioritize your defense first and foremost because *Match Engine* applies general knowledge e.g. _Attack wins you games but Defense wins you trophy_
minute 12:38 middle CD -> as Stopper and it will act as a semi-CMD , ball wining CMD.
When will there come videos on the live channel?
why do i want that loan song has my ringtone though
Z please make a scouting video bro, my scouts find 0 players whatever parameters i set
Drogs got relegated in that Cork save😩
Okay with the youth academy saves, I have grievances with Z saying you have no control over who comes in. While this is true, it changes over time if you stick to a particular DNA and shape. From what I've seen, after two seasons doing this, most of your Regen actually start taking that form and have higher values on your DNA attributes. Only tested this with Newcastle and fulham. Currently playing with Burnley to confirm this. Also, I'd say get invested in your youth team. Design the same training regimen as with your first team. One key thing that supported this was the use of training regimen that fit my philosophy and style of play for both my youth team and my first team. I only use physical training for my youth team in preseason and when they have no games in the week. I'm sorry I love raising youngsters.
str8 UP YAAAA
The loan song omg 😲
It took me a while to realize that Iraklis is just Herakles/Hercules
HAha I did see the son of my boss in one of the saves😂
Who is the first guy? I live in that town and would be pleased to meet person who plays with NK Jadran LP
I’m on my first save ever and I’m doing better than I thought
Gdje je moj čovik jadran ploče😁Javi se,javi se
I used to use that big ol diamond the Greek guy plays. In like cm3
Why not just play 3 centre mids? Innovating for sake of appearing smart
@@liamholgate1815 it was championship manager and it worked.
@@kieronparr3403 fair, just feels like it’s only use will be breaking down low blocks by extreme rotation. Apart from that leaves defensive weaknesses. Interesting to hear it worked on CM
@@liamholgate1815 it's a long time ago but to be fair I had keane at DM and Scholsey/Juan Veron (he was good then) at AM
@@kieronparr3403 yeah, some team tbf. Was picking Man U not the old version of picking psg today though aha
How do I find the screen where I compare my team's stats to the rest of the league?
does anyone know how to get that comparison screen showing how technical they are compared to the league? not sure if its being drowned out in the datahub or im missing something obvious but any help would be great
I do know how but don't know the english names of the menus but it's where you see opinions about your team.
It's in a weird place, think it's squad then analyst report
found it! its squad planner, then report, then comparison if anyone else is curious
@@bentarbuck6161 Squad Planner! That's the name
The Loan Song: The Best Song in the World
how to find the tab to compare your team in the league. ive been looking and cant find it. If anyone can help?
He went full Scottish there lol .
Me also playing as Leeds in FM21: oOo
Boys back to back from national south to prem year on year I now have 1.1mil a week less on wages than the next lowest team, I have 2 draws and 16 losses in 18 games. It’s getting really frustrating and players accepted mid table championship sides over me newly promoted to the prem. any help would be great.
Also conceding on average 3-4 goals a game no matter the tactic
Loans
Get ready to go back down but use that parachute money to scout and build a good core of players that have premier league potential
@@jesterbeats2898 I’ve kind of tried to do that so far, investing little in bigger potential players, just worried I won’t be able to hold the job until the end of the season with 4 points projected, thanks for the advice I’ll stick at it
When are you gonna do discord calls??????
HELP!!. I got football Manager 23 as a Christmas present.This is the first version which does not contain a disc just a activation code.When I tried to enter code it wouldnt work.I dont know what to do.HELP!! PLEASE HELP.
Still waiting for ur save, nothing since the World cup started …
Cork City massive
Financially, Belgium is one of the hardest leagues to manage in. There's literally zero trickle-down from TV rights, so I feel for that guy playing at Union. You pretty much have to keep a constant merry-go-round of incredibly talented players who you're happy to sell to keep the club growing in Europe and in the black. If you can't play moneyball and you're any club aside from maybe the biggest 3-4, you get fucked in Belgium, HARD.
We need the results! Take WAY longer than giving just advise, but how can we not test you? All we have before is Benji and you know he ignored half your advice anyway
An artistic interpretation of a Scottish accent
I think it would be better if it was "If I can't save their save I delete FM".
Yay
