  • Do you find your team struggling in the second half of the season? If you play with high intensity, it could be because you're players are fatigued. Combatting that starts from the very first game of the season. Today, I talk about squad rotation - how I plan and adapt playing time over the course of a block of games. I also take a look at our set pieces.

    This series and the money ball clinic have completely changed how I see fm. I was already playing attribute less/ data focused (using spreadsheets relying on reports etc) but this just takes it to an another level. Every video feels like a college course (in a good way). Props to you sir. You are my favorite content creator right now keep up the fantastic work ❤

      Some very kind words, thank you 🙏 - I'm just glad that people are enjoying it.
      I think one of FM's greatest strengths is that it's almost like an open-world game: there is so much freedom to play the game however you like. You can zero in on the data, focus on real world concepts, experiment with hypothetical situations, whatever you like. Incredible😍

    The level of detail you put into planning your games, something I wish I could. I'm one that plugs in a tactic and sim through matches. Sometimes I'll go 5 seasons without ever knowing my first team's players' names off head.
    I've played this game for 10 years now but I never have any idea what I'm doing.
    I love these kinds of videos, I keep learning a lot of stuff, though it's hard for me to do what u do.
    Respect to you Pep Musterman🙌🙌🙌

      The beauty of FM is that it is yours to play however you want. If you want to focus on just one area you can. If you want to holiday through everything you can. If you want to control every single aspect some like mega-lo-maniac bastard, you can!

    Another quality video mate! I think it's often underappreciated how much thought needs to go into true squad management. I rotate virtually every match, but rarely if ever look further ahead than the current game.

      @mustermannfm  4 месяца назад +3

      Cheers, dude! It's always difficult to plan ahead, especially with how injuries and suspensions can derail everything, but that's actually why I try to have a plan to begin with. I want to be conscious of it throughout, so I can make sure that everyone gets some respite eventually!

      @mustermannfm  4 месяца назад +1

      Thank you, dude! I'll be revisiting it at the end of the season to see the impact it's had on injuries over the course of the year, too. Now I have a squad more to my liking, I'm a lot more comfortable in being "aggressive" in my rotation. Whilst I have a preferred lineup, I'm confident that the backups can step in without too much of a drop in quality, and that certainly helps when it comes to rotation. No-one wants to regularly play a back-up if they're rubbish!

    Nice approach!
    I'm exploring different strategies for squad rotation too. Recently, I've been trying not to have two teams with 11 first-teamers and 11 substitutes. Instead, I organize them into Key Players, Squad, Fringe, and Sub or Rotation. Key players will only play three games in a row and then rest for one. Squad players play two games and rest for two. Fringe players play one game and rest for three (this is best for players you want to develop or older players). Substitutes only enter as substitutes or when you have a very easy game and can rest key and squad players. I think this helps to have a strong squad, a strong bench, and ensures that the entire team maintains good match sharpness.
    Right now I have a team with 21 players. 9 Key, 7 Squad, 3 Fringe/Develop and 2 Subs.

    • @mustermannfm
      @mustermannfm  4 месяца назад +1

      Looks a pretty solid plan. It's rare for me to have such a clear distinction between first-choices and backups; normally I like to have "options" - with players who excel in specific ways so that I can change my lineup based on what I want us to do. But that doesn't gel quite so well with this dogmatic approach.

    • @bosqueSP
      @bosqueSP 4 месяца назад

      Yeah, I think squad rotation has a millon ways of approaching it. What I do is based on a twitter thread I read, based on what Guardiola does at City. But I am constantly looking a balance between resting and fielding the best possible XI. @@mustermannfm

    • @mustermannfm
      @mustermannfm  4 месяца назад +1

      I'm hopeful that by playing chicken with the board, they'll eventually offer more money when it gets closer to the end of the season. I don't want to leave PAOK. Not this early into the save at least. But if I do, let's just see what comes up.
      I did find a video on the PAOK channel to help me with Tsaousis' name, but Marios is a lot easier 😂

    Hey Mustermann great video. Just downloaded your skin and I'm using it on my Valencia save. We just won the Champions League and going into the next season I'm trying to repeat that. I just have a question regarding the playing time breakdown. How do we get that pie chart breakdown in the skin? Or what is the best way to view the distribution of the playing time to help determine the rotation of my team and to help me decide who to keep and sell? Thanks in advance :)

    Two things. First, the HC pay thing is just broken in FM. It’s especially evident in one-club saves. I took Bonnyrigg Rose to the Champions League five years in a row, and I still make less a year than Martial does in a week.
    Second, not to dox (no idea if that’s the actual word and only some idea if that’s the meaning) you, but I’m a front-end dev that’s spent his whole career in UX. Am I way off in guessing you do something similar or related?

    • @mustermannfm
      @mustermannfm  4 месяца назад +1

      Not too far off, I suppose. I'm a BA, so regular interaction with UI/UX and dev teams, but no direct experience/expertise in that area.
      I'm happy to wait things out on the contract front, and see what happens. In FM23, I found that the chairman tended to become a lot more flexible the closer you got to the end of your contract, so let's play chicken and see what happens. Best case scenario, I get a virtual pay rise. Worst case scenario, it's the catalyst for me moving to a new team
