    Zealand Biggest Beta Issues with FM22

    This may have been the cleanest launch of Football Manager in years, but that doesn’t mean it has come out close to perfect. The lack of major issues with FM22 covers up a wide collection of smaller bugs and issues that have popped up and will hopefully be fixed when the full game is released on...

    Zealand We Made FM22 Better

    I have never used skins in FM before. I always had no issue with the base game that Football Manager puts out every year so I had never sought out a reason to change. But, given I make tutorials about FM for a living basically, I thought it would be cool to try to incorporate that into people’s...

    Zealand Football Manager Should Stop Making Games

    Every time a new Football Manager comes out I field a ton of questions about whether it is worth it to buy the game. FM22 has been no different. Are there enough new features? Do you like the match engine? What is the new good tactic? I love FM so I am happy to help answer these, but I also had...

    Zealand FM22’s Surprising Transfer Update

    I have played FM22 for basically a week now and I have found a few major adjustments to the different features of Football Manager. It is rare, though, that after all the studying I do of a new game like FM22 that something catches me completely off guard. I have found a bit of an update to the...

    Zealand I CANNOT Laugh At FM Memes

    After a month of breaking down every new feature, there is to know and see on Football Manager 2022, it is time to sit back, have a good time, look at some FM memes and lose money every time I laugh at one. What could possibly go wrong? Let’s start with the fact that the Reddit awards I plan on...

    Zealand FM22 is OUT NOW

    Well Fm22 has been released on *some* platforms as part of their beta release. Naturally, it is time to talk about the features we didn’t know about going into playing the new football manager. I also played the game on stream for a significant amount of time so we need to dig into the features...

    Zealand ALL of FM22’s Big ‘Other’ Features

    FM22 is out! At least, the beta version has been released to play! If you buy the game from a SEGA-approved retailer, you get a copy, to answer that question. As for all the fancy new features you’ll notice playing the game, well Miles, FM22’s lead creator, tweeted out a whole host of them. Big...

    Zealand Playing FM22 Early: Which Tactic Will Be Good?

    After giving FM22 my first initial playthrough, it was time to get down to tactical business. What is the best tactic in Football Manager 2022? It’s only in the alpha stage right now, but we were able to cook up a simple plan with the limited time we had available. What if we took every preset...

    Zealand Playing FM22 Early

    SI has given us an amazing opportunity to play the Football Manager 2022 alpha version! We get to actually play FM22 before it’s released (for a limited time mind you) so I decided to start what will be the most popular save in FM this year. I start a save with PSG and look to sink my teeth...

    Zealand FM22’s Worst New Feature

    FM22 has a lot of promise as a game, but after a strong start with a host of features that are sure to increase everyone’s football manager enjoyment, the feature announcements have turned… less inspiring. I’m still looking forward to playing FM22, but I wouldn’t be honest with myself if I...

    Zealand FM22’s New Deadline Day (With Fabrizio)

    Deadline day in real life is the crucible on which so many key transfers are forged, just ask Fabrizio Romano. Football Manager did just that and has set out to improve upon the deadline day experience within FM itself. I break down whether these changes coming in FM22 will take the end of the...

    Zealand FM22 Has A New Position??

    Football Manager makes a good number of changes with every new iteration. At least they have for the last couple of years, I’m not an FM historian. What does not always happen, though, is the introduction of a new position into the tactic screen. I say position, but what I mean is a new role to...

    Zealand Zealand’s Craziest Champions League Game

    It’s not often that Football Manager leads you to the peak of drama. The peak of feeling when tactics go out the window and a player makes a play to save your life, with a thousand of your friends watching along. I’ve found that in FM these moments almost replicate real life, with people sending...

    Zealand Why Weird Tactics Work

    I get a lot of people that will come into the stream for the first time, see my tactic, and ask why I go asymmetrical. I would like to say I do not always use an asymmetrical tactic on Football Manager. I just happened to use one this year. I also have now made a video about why these are the...

    Zealand Why I Sold My Favorite Player

    It can be a tough decision to finally let go of a talisman in the squad. But, how do you know when that old wonderkid you’ve fallen in love with on Football Manager is more valuable to you sold than in your squad? Not only is this a difficult FM question to answer but the emotions involved can...

    Zealand Are Star Ratings Right? (With Workthespace)

    Star ratings are the guiding light in Football Manager before you know anything else about the game. You look at those golden beauties and think they are a good indication of overall, but Workthespace and I are here to tell you star ratings on FM are there to fool you! Not really, but we both...

    Zealand World Cup 2022 Simulated by Football Manager 2021

    We’re back! I simulated the 2022 World Cup on FM20 but this is a new year on FM that happens to be one year closer to the actual next World Cup in Qatar. Does England take it a step farther? Will France repeat as World Cup champions? Is the United States capable of threatening the top? Maybe...

    Zealand Get Out of Debt in FM

    Football Manager is a lot of fun, until it reminds you of real-life and puts you in tremendous debt while you’re trying to play! There is no easy way to fix your finances in FM, but these are the things you can do to fix your finances so that tactics are your biggest concern. I cannot stress...

    Zealand The Best FM Memes

    Football Manager is a serious, solitary game, but it is worth noticing that we usually are all having the same experiences. Your wonderkid got sniped by PSG? Happens to all of us! You scouted too many good players and now sign a new one every year to fit your tactic and replace your old...
