I was asked on stream the other day ‘what makes a player good on football manager’ and at first I laughed. Then, I thought, wow what a nice challenge to try and explain that in a video. So, here I am trying to boil down what makes any individual player on FM actually good in the game. We throw...

Football Manager releases an installment every year, it is easy to get lost in the noise of each new release, but — is FM21 a significant improvement on past games? Only one way to find out, fire up another, older FM, play a match on the match engine, and click through a few days to feel out the...

I sat down. I did research. I watched games and stuff. I feel confident my Premier League predictions are set to be bang-on accurate for the 2021-2022 season. I realize this is coming out a day after the premier league season starts but I guess that’s the beauty of television. It was obviously...

The big basic stuff in a tactic is the easy part. The fine art inside Football Manager is getting the best out of your wonderkids (and other players but they are less cool) with small tweaks to your tactic and player instructions. In this video, we dive into a bunch of tweaks I make to player...

Manchester United went after Football Manager for a copyright infringement last year and the court case has been settled. This was something that hung over the Football Manager community for the past year, with the potential to change the way FM was put together or maybe put it in serious...

I am usually very good at Football Manager. At least, that’s what people say (sometimes). But, sometimes, I sign a wonderkid and they turn out not to be a wonderkid. Then there are sometimes when I sign a wonderkid and they turn out to be average at best. Then, there is 50 feet of dirt. Then...

I give a lot of sound advice on how to sign really good players on Football Manager. This is the scouting equivalent of crossing over to the dark side. To say this is ‘taking a chance’ on FM would be accurate, but it is also how I’ve added multiple wonderkids to my team at Oriental Dragon that I...

The time has arrived: women’s leagues are coming to Football Manager. It has been announced, women will be right alongside the men in the next few years in our favorite FM universe. This is good because it mimics the real universe, where, you know, women play soccer the same way men do. The US...

You may have heard but we simulated Euro 2020 100 times on Football Manager. The results were crunched into a whole set of numbers about who FM thought was good (Germany, Portugal, and Spain) and who FM thought was not so good (Netherlands, Ukraine, and oh yea, Italy). I brought the same...

There are a lot of debates on the use of playmakers. Can you have two in FM without blowing up your tactic entirely? Is it possible to win without a playmaker in your team with consistency? What does Football Manager rate playmaker’s match ratings harsher than the Miss Universe competition...

I like to think I am pretty good at Football Manager. I feel comfortable playing it. I win a lot of games and we have a lot of fun. But, the Euros were coming around and people kept saying ‘make a prediction video for Euro 2020’ so here I come with a brilliant idea - make the video. There is...

Simply put, this was the most miraculous experience I have ever had on Football Manager. A run down to the end of a season with so many ups and downs that I don’t even know how I managed to survive - how we managed to survive. There were tactical changes, sure, but this was about keeping the...

Football Manager 2022 is coming out in November. This is a very long time from now. But, it can be worth dreaming about what changes are on the horizon, or what FM needs to do to make the game better in my estimation. I need to make this video so when people ask what FM needs to change on stream...

Get 20% off @MANSCAPED Stuff + Free Shipping with the code ZEALAND at Manscaped.com #ad #adstuff #hashtag There is a plague in the FM community that has haunted it since Football Manager was released. It is the FMing. To get FM’d. To have received the FM cheese. To be Fm’d. The painful...

Football Manager is a game with a lot of layers. Yet, somehow, some of my tips for FM become active, unkillable memes. I would like to thank my Reddit for keeping this sort of thing alive. The ringing bell to alert that one person who has never played Football Manager in their life to the...

I was watching my old Football Manager clips on stream recently and a thought hit me - oh how much I sucked at FM back then. I was really dreadful at it. Naturally, I then set out to make a list of the biggest FM tips I didn’t use then that I do use now. The sort of stuff that takes you from...

It turns out there’s a new kid on the block when it comes to Football Manager guides, freaking Tifo Football. I love this channel, they make amazing videos breaking down the soccer/football topics from tactics to the stories behind moments and players. Their animation in particular is amazing...

If you want to grab a cool shirt like I got, here you go: https://www.mysteryfootball.co.uk Football Manager is a tricky game, but what exactly is happening when you run into a wall of terrible form out of nowhere? A question older than my Twitter DMs in the annals of FM lore. There are a lot...

I’ve made a tactic video about wing-backs and forwards, but what about the most exciting players on the field. The players on Football Manager that can change a game with one long galavanting run through or around the opposition. The tactical equivalent of a spark plug. The winger. How can you...

I was going to make a light-hearted video about how I can play Football Manager so much without burning out. Then I went to read a sponsorship and got an email that really hit home for me. It’s a story I felt like I needed to tell, so my apologies if it caught you by surprise in a bad way. I...

I wanted to test potential for some time, but it took me a long time to get the brain cells going to come up with a way to tease the info on potential stars out of Football Manager. I am fully aware I get dumped on for not controlling variables so I’ve set out to do that when talking about...

Time to roll back the clock and hit you with some classic Zealand football manager content. That’s right, tips and tricks that help you win at FM, with the only strings attached the B+ jokes. I take my time to put these lists together, as I play I keep lists of things I haven’t talked about...

There are a couple of things that always present themselves in saving saves. FM issues with tactics that lead to underperformance, terrible finances, terrible teams, bad scouting, bad players, and tough dynamics. But, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a situation like the one I used for the title...

We dip back into the Reddit to find the hidden knowledge I’ve dropped about football manager that I’ve also forgotten. I also am apparently still hoarding wonderkids. So, there’s that. My prediction video for Euro 2020 has fostered a solid collection of memes out there in the world. I am honored...

Sometimes, when you are playing Football Manager, it is like running uphill, in the snow, both ways, carrying a sack of rocks, into a strong wind. Other days, FM is great, but when your team starts to lose, the dynamics can slip away fast. This is not necessarily a how-to stop losing in FM...

Football Manager exists in a dynamic universe where everything can change over time. This includes stadiums, facilities, training grounds, owners, youth recruitment, and even youth intake quality. This means that over 10’s, 100’s, or even 1000’s of years FM can undergo massive changes just the...
