How I Made Huge Money in Belarus
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 окт 2024
- Finances are the hidden killer in Football Manager. ‘How to make money’ is one of my most common questions, but the budget answer is always, typically for FM20, complicated. That being said - I got a $120 Million transfer budget in Belarus in six years in my save, so I’ve figured a few things out to help you on your way. Make money, buy players, sell players, make more money?
I have actually put together a system (gasp) that can help you turn a small-budget team into a financial powerhouse. The complicated part is you have to be able to win at a decent clip, for which I would recommend my other videos, may they help you in your quest. To make money, that is. The quest to make all the FM20 money.
Much love,
FM Senpai

I really feel like you should do a save on youtube.
Martin Volarević 100%. Please Zealand.
Even worse i'm struggling to do it with Liverpool. Don't get me wrong i'm there or thereabouts, and winning other trophies, just not the prem
I hope he starts one
@@FreshTrimPigTheGoat ive improved a lot as well since the first 2 seasons, got the league on lockdown, champions league wins. Not invincible yet. Its always wolves who get me.
Well I got 2nd in Ligue 1 in 2019/2020 playing as Nice
It's dark arts but... If you have the international job while managing a club, you can sell very average youth team players for free with a massive international cap clause, then give them a two minute debut cap for their country . The buying club sees it as a bargain because the initial fee is zero and they're supposedly far from an international cap. I've made over ten million pounds from selling a single player who was vanarama level.
This is the sort of corruption we love to see 😉
You might as well add a new manager
@@CH-bp6mc but that would feel too much like actually cheating , whereas if you've been given the job youre just taking advantage. A bit like how foreign diplomats are booking Trump's hotels when they visit Washington.
Be interesting to see if the clubs do accept a ten mill international cap clause on a crap player, I will certainly be trying it
I've done this - the other thing to do is schedule friendlies against minnows like Hong Kong and American Samoa - so you're never at risk of losing :)
Zealand making 120 Mil in Belarus and I’m here struggling to win the league with Manchester United...
Racso FM 😂😂😂
it's MUCH easier to be good AND super rich in a lower rating league. I won Champions League with Red Star Belgrade in 8-9 seasons, I put together a superteam for around 10mil euros a year worth of payroll, and since the league is fairly crap, domestic games weren't exactly a challenge
And I'm here winnig UCL with Salzburg in S2 😂
@@stormtrooperelite1453 Red Star is super OP though, Red Star and Dynamo Zagreb are propably the easiest eastern european teams to win the champions league with. Tons of local talents in serbia and croatia, enough scouting budget to find youngsters abroad and an easy league to train those youngsters in.
@@WizoIstGott I agree completely. In that campaign I poached a wonderkid from Dinamo for peanuts and he became a superstar who only scored the best goal of the season
A few extra ways:
- create a wage ceiling. Do good scouting and stay under that limit until you hit the lottery (european football) and slowly increase it.
- pay your players flat wage and try to remove as much bonuses as possible. As a key player that earns 1 million a year but has on top a 5k appearance fee will likely earn an additional 200k in bonuses from just that one alone.
- sponsor money I think is tied to both your reputation and your corporate facilities which can increase if you build a new stadium.
I've made a lot of money from just staying under the wage budget, it requires scouting and and sometimes accepting that certain players aren't realistic purchases but it's a great way for smaller clubs to make money and stabilise. A lot of the clubs in smaller leagues will overspend the first years, which makes it perhaps a bit hard to compete but after a while they'll all crash and get insecure finances due to mismanagement.
In Iceland after four seasons all of my competitors had insecure finances and I had 50million in the bank going into the 4th or 5th season with Breidablik, while using a core of Icelandic players. With a self imposed Scandinavian players rule. Winning the league there only pays like 10k. Be strict on the budget!
Extra tip: make deals for young players that they will earn the real money when they break into the first team or become an international player. This will save you a shitload of money, because if the player doesn't become a first team player you barely pay him anything and can sell him off before he makes it and if he does make it, he's likely worth the money!
What about making money in Africa?
totally disagree, if your goal is to become the best, biggest club possible, you need to sign the best players that are willing to join your club at whatever cost
Longtime fm player, your vids have changed the way I play the game. Much love, stay safe!
He is real veteran huh?
My Internet connection currently makes watching twitch 'problematic' but if you posted highlights on YT I'd watch it....👍
This is an elite fm channel. Very informative but also has a very entertaining guy running it. I usually find that the guys that run informative channels are really boring but you are an exception.
And more often, the entertaining ones are fucking terrible at FM.
Zealand, I just wanna say I really appreciate your content as well as your Dad jokes. Keep it up, your vids only got better over the last 6 months.
I've really enjoyed your content mate, this is great.
A tip for small clubs as well is to look out for the appearance and goal bonuses. Sometimes it's better to increase the wage rather than the bonuses as it's much easier to keep track of a weekly wage. Especially if you have lots of cup games, a first team player who has a high appearance bonus could be bleeding you dry if he plays 50 times compared to just offering him a slightly higher wage.
I'm almost sure that appearance bonus don't apply for cup games and champions league games. Because, for example, clauses like bonus after x games played, bonus after goals scored, wage after x games etc are only activated with league games.
@@nunoandresilva93 Pretty sure it's specified on the contract screen that those are all league-specific though.
Players are also usually more protective of their salary than their bonuses. Cutting an appearance fee down 5k, and cutting just 500 from the wage is far easier for the player than the other way round. If it is a player that is playing basically once every week, that is pure bank.
Reece's editing is just brilliant man. He really makes these videos... quite literally.
With my Fenerbahce save, I did exactly that. Got Manuel Ugarte for 3M£, kept and played him for three seasons, sold him for 70 to Chelsea. Even this single sale made all the difference for the team. The only bad thing that happens more often than not is the players' request for a minimum release fee that you cannot remove. Other than that, it works great since with that money you can still get pretty good young players at like 10M and later sell them to huge amounts. Love your videos. Keep doing what you are doing mate.
I always do the same thing in all my saves, sign players on as free agents (the best available) and buy cheap regens, loan them out and then sell them.
If you are managing outside of the big leagues, once you have a lot saved money, expend a lot of it in one huge signing but has to be in someone with great international reputation, maybe overspend if necessary, this will make the league and your team go to the next level where other great players will join the league and that will increase the value of all your players.
I made a 60 million profit for a season with bourdeux finishing 2rd on 93 points (losing out on goal difference to PSG) winning the French cup as well as the Europa league. End of story they gave me a 10 mil tranfer budget then I immediately resigned.
2nd not 2rd
@@ethaniol81i68 It's secord
I had a save in Sweden back in FM14 where I took a team from the 4th tier to the top. Main strategy was loaning young players from bigger leagues that wasn't going to be good enough for those leagues and just keep loaning them until their contracts ran out and I could sing them on a free. Main two I did this with was Jon Toral and Kristoffer Olsson both from Arsenal. Toral was a mainstay and eventual captain while Kris Olsson was with for 18 months before I sold for 10 million pounds to Italy. Also signing from players from South America cheaply.
the loaning strategy your talking about is literally Chelsea's model ngl
I'm obsessed with my club finances, fun fact there was a glitch in one of the old games think it was maybe Championship Manager 4... i'd got my club into the range where it was a billion dollar club, but it reached a level and bugged out saying the club was now instantly billions in debt and it got me sacked immediately. Devestated after all of the effort put into that save, it's made me paranoid that it might still happen in these games. What's the highest anyone has reached? I got Chelsea out of debt up to nearly £800 million which was very easy but still it's the most i've made with any of my saves since most don't have tons of high potential youth and world class players to offload.
I'm doing a save in Finland dominating with FC Lahti, so a lot of similar things apply to my current save. Thank you for this.
Waking up Saturday morning with a new FMBase video in my inbox.. AWESOME!!
I dont know how this channel isn't huge. Your videos are very, very well made; you put so much effort into your videos and you obviously care a lot about them; you explain things thoroughly and passionately and most of all your videos are always brilliant to watch. I have no doubt that you'll be at 100k in the not so distant future, you are the best FM youtuber in my opinion, and I'm pretty new to your channel.
Nice video mate, started Grimsby town yesterday so perfect timing thanks 👌✅
Good luck I am managing Cambridge United, got 8127 ground capacity and started with 10k transfer budget.
3 seasons later I'm in the championship and got 1.4million to play with.
Lower league is brutal but very rewarding 🙂
I did something similar in Denmark and now I'm in the 2026/2027 season and I've upgraded all my facilities to the max, and I still have over 100 M in the bank and what I did was set my scouts to find me players 19 and under with superb potential. Then I bought the one I could afford (I never spent more than 50K on these players) then train them for a couple not seasons and sell them to bigger clubs. When I stated 2 M was a lot of money so when no sold the young players I'd set the up front payment as low as I can but high enough to cover the expenses for the whole year then I added installments with 50% of clause so I get half of the money when they are sold again.
For my first team players I only went for free transfers and avoided the the yearly increase clause and in some cases I'd give a 30% sell on fee (the player would get 30% of the money I get when I sell him) to lower the wage demand.
Good video again Zealand!
Extra tip for anyone reading the comments:
Free transfers!
As soon as the 1st of janaury arrives, just scout a bunch of players with their contract expiring in 6 months. Don't look at values to much, as they will decline as a player reaches the end of it's contract. When looking for value players, try to look for players between ages 21 and 25. Most of them tend to be decent. Maybe not first team players for you, but I mean free. If your not gonna play them, loan them out for a season. After a season, or 6 months, sell them! I have sold players for 15 to 40 (or more) million just by signing them and the end of there contract, loaning them out for a season and selling them again.
In FM20 for example, Jude Bellingham is someone you should keep on your radar. Got him on a free with Monaco after 2 seasons, sold him after one season for 75 million to Man Utd...
@Zealand, small note, audio seemed a bit on the low side this video, had to turn it up quite a bit and then got blasted when I entered an other video haha
15 minute video to explain BUY YOUNG TALENTS AND SELL THEM FOR PROFIT DOWN THE LINE
If you are in a decent club, then do go for a overseas friendly in some rich counties where you can build your fanbase. This lead to a some good money injection from marketing and shirt sales.
I’ve transformed 1860 Munchen with help from your videos. Taken them from 3. Liga to Bundesliga champions in 11 years with a Pokal win and a Europa League Final penalties loss in between (& the Supercup for good measure). Picked up a Paraguayan ST for 700k and sold to PSG for his 113million release clause (thanks to your scouting video!).
I’ve made some huge money recently on my Norwich save, you can sign good players from the argentine league, quite often CMs, for around 5 mil and after 6-12 months you can sell them for 30-40 mil. Notably Lucas Robertone, Matias Zaracho and Nicolas Capaldo I did this wish. Also Christian Pavon on the wing
Something I’ve always liked doing is signing free agents and selling them on almost immediately. Money talks and you can entice some players to join and then sell them a few weeks later for a significant profit. I was doing this in Brazil with South American free agents and had great success and would imagine you’d have even greater success doing it in Europe too
Your a dodgy second hand footballer dealer lolz
I got Jude Bellingham for free. One and a half year later, liverpool bid 100m € for him... #secondhandgang
I too am playing as BATE. When selling young players I don’t worry too much about the fee in the early stages as they sell for like £250k, but I endure a 50% sell on clause by locking it in. Players values go up naturally when you go to a higher league (Russia, Serbia, Ukraine) so its another good earner when they move on again
Without the fm context this seemed like a tax evader video
I've been doing the exact same thing since fm17.
My record money received in a window was 200 million euros, when i sold like 10-15 players i had aquired for free and loaned out for 2-3 seasons.
My West Ham team was a 5-star reputation club, so their value had an enormous boost, thing that helped selling them for better money.
Zealand, when you manage in a lower reputation league like Belarus how many leagues to you usually load into the game, what I mean by that is how many leagues do you make playable, also what size database do you use?
Great question
Yesterday I was looking for this video as I was struggling with my finances in the Norwegian PostNord league
I’m a relatively new player and I’ve mostly been playing in the MLS as FC Dallas and I get the impression the MLS is kinda an outlier compared to most leagues in the world. Maybe sometime you could make a video dedicated to playing in the MLS?
I had good success in signing Asian youngsters to my italian saves, as their shirts sell really nicely due to there not being many asian players around. I don't play them necesarilly, but they help a fair bit in the season ending screen with "shirts sold".
Yes. If you ask your board to create a partnership for a satellite club in Asia, it'll boost it even more.
Or if you just loan them in and never register from January, works too
I recently reached 1MM on my Portugal's Vit. Guimarães save. I mainly sign great young players, at 15 or 16 years old, at a lower price by adding a cost per appearance clause that makes the club lower the price i pay for them. I then keep them until they're 18, then i use them on my B team at the second league to grow or loan them with a commision, which depends on how much that player is valued, but normally i get 2 to 3 million per season on commision per player, which multiplied by several players pays for the entire wages dispense of my club. I do that for 3 or 4 seasons until they reach a good evaluation and then sell them. This, of course, for the players that i don't want for my main team.
Imagine this video title without context
How to make a negotiation video in 10 seconds:
- Save your game
- Lower your offer and reset your game till they accept and dont flee because the negotiation system is bad and broken
- ...
- Profit!
You don't even have to save and reset! Make an initial offer, then a little maths can tell you the exact minimum fee they want. Say you offer £5m and they ask for £19m. That means the AI wants the mid-point between your offer and their counter-offer, which in this case would be £12m. You can usually do just over 50% of this fee in the periodic unconditional installments.
So the math for the money they want is: (their counteroffer - your initial offer) / 2 + your initial offer. (19-5)/2+5 = 12 as in the example above. Offer £6m up front and £6m in yearly installments and the player is yours. :)
@@MlemDotaPersonal I meant it from the opposite side since he was talking about selling players. A club might buy your player at 120m but leave the conversation at 120.5m which is dumb
thats basically cheating with extra steps. if you do this, the fun is gone.
My man be making 120 M in Belarus and I'm here 300 M negative in Benfica 😂😂😂
Rui Augusto como é que ainda tens emprego com 300M negativos no Benfica 😂😂😂
@@ricardobaltarejo5564 não sei mas acabei por desistir do save ... aquilo não tinha salvação 😂😂😂
I love how I'm not the only one who fills in the interactions with the board with my own imagination.
I have a new situation I've not encountered in the past. I'm managing Lincoln City in EFL League One. I've just started the save so maybe with more board confidence the situation could change, but my transfer revenue retained is 75% until the club balance is at £15m at which point it will drop to 40% so it almost feels counter intuitive to help the board with the finances considering that if I do, they're planning to restrict my transfer spending more.
I have a similar experience with Cambridge United, who I've got into the championship. I'm hoping like you the board be trust me more once the big money starts coming in.
Good luck with your Lincoln City save, lower league is brutal but very rewarding
Dobe similar in my Dynamo Brest game.
They already had decent finances (prob just behind BATE) I finished 2nd in first season just behind shock winners Shakhtyor.
2nd season I made the Europa League group stage which earned me 2.5 million, enough to buy a team to win the league and upgrade facilities.
In 3rd season won the league at a canter and qualified for group stage of champions league, lucky draws in qualifiers vs Shamrock TNS & Molde.
Had a good sqaud at this point picking up young players from Russia (they don't count as forgieners in Belarus.
Got around 15 million bank balance now midway into 3rd season, hopefully I can get 3rd in my group of champions league to make Europa League.
Belarus my favourite league, my tip is to scout the hell out of Russia and buy Russian players, often high standard and not forgiener and will even be home grown eventaully if picked up young.
I found that if you have decent players to offer out for loan. Setting the wage contribution to 0%, but monthly fee to more than the actual wages will go through most of the time. Thus your player is getting game time, and can actually earn you a fair amount of monthly income as well.
FORZA AZZURRI 🇮🇹
I have discovered this YTc only few days ago, I will be subscribing in 3 seconds I suppose.
Keep going, a new fan from 🇮🇹!
If you do friendly tours your reputation increases in that county and you can see increases in merch sales
If you are a very small club the best thing you can do to make money early is arrange lots of pre-season friendlies with as big a club as you can, try a friendly cup so you get lots of games (this also increases the clubs reputation as you just played in a cup with Newcastle, Derby and Watford with York). I would maybe arrange 3 cups, 1 per weekend, with a week break in-between, over 5 weeks. This would also work at a club like BATE, instead invite CL teams like City, Utd, Real, PSG, Barca etc.
A word of warning your players could get tired and you could have injuries but you could also end as a non league club with 1-2 million in your bank at the start of the season. Now you have a bucket of cash go ask the board for a transfer budget increase! Who cares about that striker who got injured when you can afford someone far better to take his place!
You have missed the easiest way to increase money over time. Sign high profile players from highly populated countires e.g. China. Set up partnerships with high profile clubs from highly populated countries e.g. Chinese clubs.
For small clubs in England try to reach 3rd round FA cup and pray you get away fixture, to a premiership club. As gate receipts are shared.
I got lucky in my 3rd season and my Cambridge United side got Manchester City away. We got 1million from the shared gate.
One thing I noticed with this video is that the FM screen capture is a bit low quality, especially compared to the facecam (which looks crisp on 1080p). Idk if it's just me or what but I figured it was worth saying incase there was an error somewhere
PS - beard is looking dope btw
There is one massive source of income you haven't talked about: The Juventus Gambit. It is not only the final sale price but the big bucks you can make in loans with FEE. Have fun supplying the world.
Tbh if you are at the point where you can do this, money usually isn't your biggest concern anymore. Still fun do generate 1b as a world class team every other year
@@AndiBraun93 I disagree. I do this with LLM clubs as well. At the moment in my current season my wage budget is 4M€ and I have generarated 7M€ loaning players.
that feeling when i am from Belarus and can’t make 1k in real life
Haha, my transfer budget for Oxford City is 28k. But also, since I made them 700k from Cup and tourney wins and friendlies, I went about 50% over budget on salaries. I'd like to see your bank that changes 25 million into 100 million in 4 years. There is a thing called rule of 72, divide your interest rate into 72 and that's how long it takes your money to double, assuming it is compounding.
I just wish I could make it to champions league, I got the money but i desperately need the reputation so that every player doesn’t instantly snub me, nothing feels worse than finding a Brazilian wonderkid winger with 18 dribbling and a release clause of 2.8 million only for the player to consider you beneath him. Playing in Portugal so I am consistently finishing 4th/5th every season, flush with Eurocup money but FCP, SLB, Sporting, and Braga just have the reputation and sheer financial muscle to secure the best players in the world
What team do you manage?
@@kedda4515 Leiria from the 3rd tier in FM19, after a couple of years I finally broke into the Champions league and have won the Portuguese premier league twice in 3 years(hopefully on course to win the next one too since Porto has only 3 points from the first 4 games and are in the relegation zone right now lmao), made it to the Champions League final last year after knocking out 3 English teams in a row from the 2nd knockout round to the semi finals but lost to PSG in the finals 3-1(the scoreline makes it look bad but my team just had poor finishing and made some dumb defensive mistakes, plus Mbappe is just ridiculous in his prime years)
Hopefully should be able to win the champions league within the next few seasons.
what I did at dinamo zagreb was, besides winning the league, selling youth players or key players (ALL!) and keeping 50% of their future transfers. For example, I sold Khazior to Bournemouth for 7,5M€ and they sold him for 18M€. So basically, I sold him for 16,5M€ way above his market value at the time. I know it's not much but it's a help, I guess.
Thanks again and I would really appreciate the negotiation video sometimes I had a huge sale out of luck I guess and another time you counter offer is too high and they shut it down it's annoying...
Z, 120mil its not even close comparing my 700balance and like 600mil transfer budget , Won 4 Champion League Cups in a row with Belshina ( Belarus )
I just bought Juan Mata for Bath City in my fifth season, had two promotions in five years. In league one at the mo. Last year I had Medel and Alexis Sanchez, and then two years before that I had charlie Adam, i think Buying both medel and sanchez was bad but having one key big player is good. I can’t resist signing a legend.
Future Fee clauses, if I ever sell a player to a big World Class team I always try to include the 50% clause so that when they eventually do get sold on I make even more money. If I can't I just go down the 5% line until they agree to one. I count it as a discount thing aswell, If a player I had (and know is good) is transfer listed I buy him again and use the clause for a discount and sell him again when he recovers form.
Make sure you're player's contract start at the end if the season, can save you a pretty penny!
You are underappreciated big up from Turkey man
Love this channel 😍 everything is so good!. Your twitch is a little hectic for me 😂
im managing in Belarus also with FC Slutsk and i'm doing a build a nation with Belarus as a nation both as the international club and their nation coefficient for league. It's been fun so far but BATE is still king so far after 3 years but a nice run in Conference has injected some money so far.
I've been trying a similar strategy, just that I was getting in prospects that had no club, because I cannot afford transfer fees. However the thing is that I make a bunch of them blossom, make them increase their transfer value by a lot, but then I often get no offers in. I can only sell around 1-2 players a year. Recently I finally got promoted to Ligue 1 in France and I got no offers at all. I tried to sell my first team striker who ended up being the best goal scorer in Ligue 2 yet I got no offers at all. I even tried offering him below market value...this game is just bullshittishly unrealistic, in reality about half of Ligue 1 would be interested in a player that just had scored most goals in Ligue 2. So I cannot at all go for a strategy based upon selling as offers are required for that. So every season I have to let a lot of contracts run out and try to replace them with players who want less wage, so I can stay way below my wage budget. That's the main way I can generate the money I need to improve my facilities etc. Seems like you have a different FM since you apparently easily get in offers.
Guys easy way to make some money one this FM is, get players expiring contract in 6 months (January) or wait until July so they are free players and lower wages... Cut their wages to half, offer them the maximum wage possible after reaching 5 matches in the league, add 50% pay rise if possible, once they sign offer them out and because the wages are so low normally there's teams to buy them... If not, try to loan with mandatory transfer fee... Either way yous gotta get rid of this guys cause of the clauses and pay rise! Try this and let me know how you got on.
Zeeland could you make a video with this "Glitch"?
What I do it’s copy Chelsea’s business model, I buy a lot of cheap young players, also free young players that I don’t need (better if they are strikers), but have enough reputation/quality to be desired, make loans asking money to have them and in about 2, 3 or 4 years sell them for really good money.
At the end, for players that only has like 2M value, I make 5M-8M on loans and then sell them for about 5M-10M after contracts are 2 years to expire, make that with one player and you will no see difference, but do it with 10 or 15 (mostly free players)and you get reeeally good money.
It's Azzurri with the double r mate!
Unless you got a regen named Azzuri and you're showing your support to him!
no, gliel'ho fatto scrivere io durante la stream perchè l'Italia ha vinto il mondiale 2026 e l'europeo 2020. solo che l'ha scritto male
I would always double down on saying just because you have a wage budget or transfer budget, it doesn't mean the club can afford for you to max out on both. I find this is especially the case if you have one good season at a small (lower league) club and they hike the wage budget without the bank balance having grown.
Loan fees, making £55m in such for my current season, always used to just want right playing time and full wages covered but can for majority of players get exactly what want but also with loan fees in addition.
Am Stuttgart in top tier competing for all honours so will be easier for me than any lower division or lesser nation team, but am generally getting between £50k to £250k a player, easily adds up and helps pay for some of those contracts that get bigger than would like or if need to pay bit extra for new signing.
Hello mate great video and great message on the whiteboard but I have to inform you it's "azzurri" with two Rs. Cheers from Italy, this video inspired me to go back to Finland and try another save there
I don’t even play football manager, but I watch all this guys videos I love them 😂😅👍
How about making a video on important dates on the calendar and what to do on them? Like check for regens on this date and check for contract expiring on this date...
Subbed, by the way, because I like your content and your humour, I just don't know how you get the game to not screw you over.
Did something similar with my Malaga in FM14. They were printing money when I abandoned that save
My staff wages are about 3x my player wages at Oxford City
Nice vid man, btw are you a UVA alumnus? Most of my family went/goes there.
Oj.. its hard to get to UCL playing Oxford from Vanarama South :D
Why would one dislike a video like this. Just awsome
I know this is an old vid, but thought I'd shoot away. The board constantly change the allowed retained transfer revenue.. it cam fluctuate from 100% to 45% (either gradually or in one fell swoop) and this is within days/week, even without transfer activity.
What'd I say in the vid? I do know this but I could've been a fool
Can you do a video on your negotiation techniques when buying and selling players.. especially early on. I always end up making the board unhappy with my negotiation. I find myself never being able to understand what a player is really worth.
I can tell you a way to get young talent nearly 45% cheaper every time but it's a bit scummy.
Say a player is worth 5 mil, offer 2.6m straight forward and offer 2.6m after playing 50 games you will pay 200,000 more if he ends up being a first team player but if he does not reach the first team you got him cheap so can move on 99% of the time for profit.
I even sign fringe first team players this way and sell on after a single season and get profit if the player is near 50 game mark.
In the older FMs (FM18 definitely) you could sell players massively over their value by instead of negotiating to sell them now, you could offer to loan them to the club and either in the next transfer window or at the end of the season have a mandatory fee to buy, and even for a player worth £5m who would sell for a maximum of like £14m normally you could get around £60-75m for them by doing that. You have to know a few techniques while doing it to get the maximum value (ie, the third offer they make is the last one they'll make before pulling out) but once you get the hang of it you can make ridiculous money to where your transfer dealings are bringing in over £1b per season, including loaning players out with a £300k/pm Playing & non-playing fee from the loaning club. Obviously you need to spend a lot of time scouting/buying/loaning/negotiating but once you do that you can quickly become the richest club in the world with a £1b+ transfer budget per season no matter which club you are.
Im getting money by first looking at a decent free player..and ruthlessly sell him straight after signing him..be it 21-27yo but never over 30yo (even if he is a star in your team) ..make sure by giving him contract which is as low in wages as possible(because it will be easier to sell em if wages arent too high)
Tips for gtting their wages low ;
*give minimum/relegation/nom promo clause fees of 1 dollar or even 0
*give high apperance fees bonus very high(dont worry u will not be paying it since ur going to sell him anyway)
*try n wiggle wages as low as possible using the appearnce bonus n clause trick above
After u get this player(just offer em to another club with tranfer list and n not needed by club tick)
Make sure offer to them with unspecisified amount(this is to maximized the value for the player)
If the player prices is 250k.. immedietly after u sign him ..just offer him off..n u might get an offer of 250k (this might differ for a high value player, u might get halve if u are unlucky)
Once u sell one..u 'll get the money rolling in the bank..especially if ur club had less than 90% tranfer revenue..
The trick is..always adjust budget to highest amount of wages possible..
N then..find those free player tru ur DOF.or search by unattached..
Ive once made 50 mills in transfer window in national league selling 20 odd players in single window.. yeah u got the hate from the board n fans..but the bank balance will be great.. just watch out for FFP tho..those things sucks in lower league 😅😅😅
Ps: im still doing this trick even after i got promoted to premier league..the thing is..the better reputation u have(via the league) the better freebies u got to sign n sell..dont worry.. they might be good . Good player will always be available ..so sell em without any hesitation ..
I also try and get loan fees for my better loan players, or ones I feel are topping up near their potential, the ones I feel just need the playing experience I always try to ensure I get atleast their wages covered. Alot of my "buy to loan to develop and sell" players I tend to make about 1/3-1/1 of their transfer fee from one season worth of loans, Then you're playing with house money.
In FM19 I accidentally made a cheat)
I started with Auxerre in League 2. In the first season I promoted to League 1 and got a wunderkind in my first youth intake. After few seasons I sold him to MU for 60M dollars and made all bonuses that I can. For club games, for club achivements and so on. One of that was for 5 games for national team. 6 months after this transfer I became... a manager of France national team) Few friendly matches and I got easy 10M dollars.
Can you make a clip about feeder clubs?
More specifically, how do you choose feeder clubs and what is your priority?
FM Base tnx
This video helped me a lot, for my fm19 save as Malaga
I wish FM allowed more control over finance such as market rights of players in contracts or potentially sponsor deals if you have more visibility in a nation
Like if I have Chinese players and do a tour of China = income in shirt sales from there
Is there something inherently wrong with the game? Been playing FM for years, and this is the first time I'm not enjoying it. OK, I'm cheap, and started first season with Liverpool. Set up tactics, team seems happy with them, staff set up, pre season friendlies on the go. Organised one against Tranmere. They sent out a 32 yr old keeper who was worth £215k. I was without the main front 3, but still had Origi, Minamino and Shaq in a front 3, had 44 shots, 21 on target, and won 1-0 in the 93rd minute, having watched the Tranmere keeper play like Buffon and Casillas' lovechild. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.
Try the Youth Academy challenge. Currently doing it in Portugal.
once i tried to sell my top scorer for 16m, but the board blocked the transfer.
just a couple of months later, the board sold him by its own for 2m.
that was the moment i learnt the responsibilities are useless.
What I don't understand, is how the projected profit loss could be +150 and all the sudden I get to the - 100.. I manage Valencia having a transfer net spent of - 100 in 4 years...
well i remember back in the days when i was a genius at fm. u just have to create a second manager to manage city and abuse that transfer budget . Some may say it is cheating but i think they are jealous
This is still a great video to watch again👍
I like your videos but seriously this is the main essence of FM, pretty much the first thing(s) you figure out
Can you make a video on stadium expansion and building new stadium requests
Now I am scared because I have ignored my budget and even though my status is "Ok" I am pretty sure I at least 200k in the red... in league two in England... well the board rates me an A- right now so maybe I will survive long enough to put things right.
And what happened?! I need to know now
@@ivanaznar6495 I did ok. The end of the year money covered my deficits but my transfer budget was pretty small the next year.
I play as the manager of f91 dudelange and i sold a player for 7.5million to stuttgart, but every talented player i want to sign thinks luxemburg is the european china and demands more salary than i players playing in way bigger leagues. What is a solution to this because I'm stuck on reaching the EL groupstage and getting absolutely hammered
Its a bit misleading, BATE are not a normal Belarussian side, they are by far the richest and guaranteed European football. Belarus is one of the hardest leagues to play in from the bottom, there is no money at all so the European sides are locked in and able to pay substantially more wages. The overall quality low enough that you can rarely attract foreign players with potential on such low wages, only the sides in Europe can afford that.
Could you do a video on young players and how to help them to improve. I’ve been struggling with my young players whether to send them out on loan and if they should be playing the the league that suits their ability or pushing them in the division above. Alternatively should I keep them in the under 23s just baffling I’ve tried buying so many youngsters and only 3 have managed to come through and not sure if I’m doing it correctly?
Sponsorships can really help but are slow. My board signed a new kit deal when I was 10 in the premier league I won it 4 seasons later with 2 champions leagues runs in between. I still had a pretty terrible kit sponsorship. Then when they got another one it was 3 times bigger and basically kept me in the black
Rid your squad, the second squad and youth squad of ALL players that will not be in the top 25 players, the money you save on wages is out of sight and helps you balance the books while making the game easier to micromanage
