Thanks for watching the video hopefully you enjoyed it, don't forget to like and comment down below your tips to keeping your squad happy, and if you want to check out my channel that would mean a lot too, have a great day!
You need to rotate a lot more in FM than squads actually do in real life, there are top squads who play their first 11 most games and still manage to be successful.
Always aim for a squad of 33. 3 players for every position. First 22 (2 players for every position) 1st teamers. Then 11 u23 players to fill in when player 1 or 2 aren’t available. Always try and find players who can play more than one role.
The only problem for me is to convince some players to come to a club and be squad players.That is not that hard when you are managing for example Arsenal,but with my Fulham...
Create two teams, play each in every next match. This will help players in each team has better chemistry and also less fatigue. If they want to start more games talk to them and say to sell them. They will tell it is not necessary.
Very interesting. I always tried to have only 18 outfield players + 3 outfield youngsters in my first team squad, so that is two less than what is suggested here. I think this video is correct. I often struggle with team depth, having enough fit first teamers. I think I will take this advice and switch from 18 to 20 senior outfield first team players.
Hi. I don't play fm anymore. But always a subject iv found interesting. When I was younger I always went for the 2 players in every position rule, and over time it would end up 17-19 out field players heavily involved over time, then you have your 13 or 14 under 21 players on the fringes.
For MLS the desired size is 22 to 25 with 2 of each position in the formation you are using. If using 4-4-2 get 4 strikers, 4 CM, 2 LM, 2 RM, 2 RB, 2 LB, 4 CB, and 2 GK. Remaining slots should be saved for emergency goalkeeper and 5 youth players.
Have 2 in every position and have a strong and weak team so whoever I come up against can rotate the squad so seems to be working so far,you will always have that 1 player that no matter what you do they will always complain.
I play what i consider to be my best 11 and I don't really consider star rating, if there is an injury then I rotate them out with a backup player who will play in the main 11 for the time being and as for cups I rotate the full 11 with backups in early rounds! - Jake
Wow what starting budget did you have that enabled you to get Donnaruma, castagne, savic, haaland, rw, dm and back ups all before the 2nd transfer window?
Second Season mate but around 100M plus sales, Donnuruma Free, Castagne cheap as related with Leicester, Haaland Release clause etc, pulled in over 250M from sales too off the top of my head by selling dead weight, feel free to check it out on My channel if you like mate! - Jake
i always went for two players in every postion but found it difficult to keep to everybodys agreed playing time. now i aim for a main core of 13 players. Captain and vice captain will be important players.. Star player/Important player/Regular starter 1 Goalkeeper 2 Fullback 3 Centre back 2 Winger 3 Central midfielder 2 Striker Squad player/Impact sub/Fringe player 2 Backup goalkeeper 2 Fullback 2 Centre back 2 Central midfielder 2 winger 2 Striker 25 player squad including 3 goalkeepers. That would be my aim in building a first team squad.
I have 2 or 3 players for every position, and currently just rotating the squad most games, so everyone stays green match fitness. Seems to be working with my Milan save one the league first 2 years and champions league, now starting 3rd year. Must be because I have a lot of good back ups, a lot of wonderkids:’)
Not really related to the video but I have a question about goalkeeper training: If I were to place only goalkeepers on the reserves squad (assuming they don't get mad) and only schedule special goalkeeping training, will they develop faster? I have a lot of coaches so it wouldn't be so inconvenient to put more players into my senior/under20s squads and I mostly use my reserves for trialists or building up match fitness. Just developing goalkeepers until they are good enough to loan and make a profit.
3 GK (1 main, 1 Back up, 1 youth) 10 Def ( 4 main, 4 back up, 2 youth) 8 MiDF (4 main, 2 back up, 2 youth) 4 ST (2 main, 1 back up, 1 youth) best to have 3 (1 Def, 1 Mid, 1 St) 30+ as back up great for mentoring youth
I like to have 5 centre backs cause I keep rotating them wel at least one them and I trying to sell one to get pau torres for my man utd save. But can't get rid of maguire
Is all good until your DOF bids for a player as back up defender which would make him 8th choice. Of course I reject them unless he uncovers a gem. It gets harder as you go up leagues as you are constantly improving while getting rid of deadwood. After a couple of years in the top league you can control. Just don't get to many wonderkids. Lol.
Yeah, this is the way to win. However, all star squads like this tend to break the immersion for me which in turn kills the fun. Kovacic as an emergency reserve when he’s a world class midfielder in the game? Chilwell as a second choice LB while on 180k etc.

Hi, search for FM Vibe they should have what you're looking for! - Jake
@@fmscout ok thanks 😊
@@arpitasarkar8138 No problem mate! - Jake
You need to rotate a lot more in FM than squads actually do in real life, there are top squads who play their first 11 most games and still manage to be successful.
2 for every postion except Gk which I have a youth one, most of them are versatile as well as an extra 2 players too that are young or spare
Nice work mate seems like it would work! - Jake

two 11's I like it! - Jake
I never use my backup goalkeeper. I usually have a young backup goalkeeper who I make available for the U21 team so he still gets his playing time.
Smart move glad that works for you! - Jake
Question Jake.
Do you keep the same 11,unless you have an injury.. Or do you go for who has the highest star rating etc.
And then change for cups etc?
I play what i consider to be my best 11 and I don't really consider star rating, if there is an injury then I rotate them out with a backup player who will play in the main 11 for the time being and as for cups I rotate the full 11 with backups in early rounds! - Jake
@@fmscout Thanks mate. Nice Vid. Nice squad too. Camavinga and Haaland ❤️
@@Ryan-if7ny Thank you very much mate I was proud of my transfer business so far in that series! - Jake
I always have a large squad, more than 25 but no more than 32. About half are usually 21 or younger
If It works for you then run with it mate! - Jake

i always have 23 players . every time i use more than 23 i have prob with play time
if that works best for you then don't change it mate! Each club is different after all! - Jake
i always went for two players in every postion but found it difficult to keep to everybodys agreed playing time.

Not really related to the video but I have a question about goalkeeper training:

Just developing goalkeepers until they are good enough to loan and make a profit.
I like having about 27 lads in my squad with a good few being young lads who need some game times
On my Real Madrid game, i have 25 players. Two teams of 11, that play every other match. And 3 players who come in and play 25-45 minutes every match.
Hey pal which face pack do you use? It's incredible!
hi mate If you check my twitter I mentioned it in a recent reply tweet, can't remember the exact pack off the top of my head! - Jake
3 GK (1 main, 1 Back up, 1 youth)
10 Def ( 4 main, 4 back up, 2 youth)
8 MiDF (4 main, 2 back up, 2 youth)
4 ST (2 main, 1 back up, 1 youth)
best to have 3 (1 Def, 1 Mid, 1 St) 30+ as back up great for mentoring youth
Are reserve squads back up squads ? Or are back ups supposed to sit in the first team and not play until an injury or rotation ?
jake with another banger. Keep it up. Do you know when we get the new winter database? feb or mar?
Thank you very much mate always nice to get some support! - Jake
@@fmscout :)
I like to have 5 centre backs cause I keep rotating them wel at least one them and I trying to sell one to get pau torres for my man utd save. But can't get rid of maguire
i always have 22 players + extra 6 players too that are U-23
smart move as those u-23's shouldn't cause you any hassle - Jake
The same 👌😎Looking for the future..
@@BlcK_GmR-qt5hy Smart move! - Jake
how many apperances does each of your strikers get? cause i plan to have Haaland too (cause he wants to leave) but Tammy has been banging goals

Very true mate, sometimes I don't wanna sell the deadwood when they are part of the furniture! - Jake
I don't see room for my 5 redundant South American attacking midfielders / wingers with nearly identical skill sets and 5 star potential...
Plz give info for mobile users also

Does anyone know how to second sort on the switch? :(
Can i ask why you dont use the real logos?
