One day there will be a football manager game where the gegenpress with fast attackers isn't completely dominant. Set pieces aren't just big boys at the front post good strikers edge of the box. When that day comes Kev will struggle. But it's been 20 years and that has not changed. Maybe in 2050 when FM25 is finally released.
@@MarceloAlahid-vm3if I was thinking that the pressing needs to be a little more nuanced than just press high or don't. Using the correct pressing traps or systems with smart players to execute it correctly or back off when it's not on.
Something I often do when I have no one I feel I can mark the fullbacks with, but when I have 2 strikers (which I very rarely have these days, admittedly), is I use the strikers to do the marking. By pulling them out wide on defence, they actually find themselves in some interesting positions if you can counterattack quickly enough. Especially if they have the 'Move Into The Channels' trait, they can make it really pay off. They need extra fitness, though.
ive just started using a similar tactic and been dominating every competition so far. only differences are bpd cd and two cwb attack in the back, half back instead of a dlp in midfield and af and f9 pairing upfront. IP instructions are quite similar too but i made it even narrower with dirbble more and be expressive on. I have never scored this many goals in my entire fm journey. in 2 seasons i've scored almost 300 goals in total. so from now on i will stick by this tactic in every career until fm 26 release.
Like when Walsall lost 6-2 at home to Fleetwood Town, I'll say the same thing here. For me it's better to lose one game like 8-1 or 6-2 then it'd be to lose 4 games like 2-0, 2-0, 2-0 and 2-1.
I feel that most people, me including, would put that 8-1 on getting the red card early on, and not really looking more into it. So a good video on the subject for sure. I do wonder if this is something you'd do every time or if the fact that it's in the network league make it more "damn, that was in front of thousand of people AND real people, I need to do something" ? :P Cus again, I definitely think me and many others would feel more "embarrased" and go drastic to change something against a real person instead of losing 8-1 against AI. I guess I'm just curious about the mental behind it/you :)
You're overfiddling until your fancy positions and instructions basically equal a standard system again and then you're taking credit for it. It's alright, we know hun
8:05 the pain of seeing my newly promoted side being bullied by title contenders after a miracle run of form getting us to the top of the league, I felt it today...
Picked the game up again now. Remembered why I swore never to play it again. It's so unrealistic in many aspects. Literally 2/3 games you have 20 shots on target vs 1 and lose 1-0.
good video and tsun su in art war says to use your oponents weakness against them , andy robertson is a fab player in real life as a liverpool fan 50 yrs met him but on fm24 hes got longshots 10 or 11 i also noticed he had trent in the position that andy would take up so pushing trent back and denying him space would also worked in mho there are lots strategies from art of war able to use in fm24 and college football 25 and madden 25 both which i have
Would it not also have been viable to pull back Chillwell and Dumfries next to your central defenders and have them man mark the wingers? Additionally, you could have moved Nkunku and Palmer to play as Wingers, with the one on the side of the DLP being inverted. The WB on that same side could even remain on attack to add width and provide overlaps while the other could stay further back on support or even defend. I understand that this idea would have meant a massive shift, but I can see that It'd've (can't not contract that) had the chance of going well with the talent you have on the field.
Similar happen to me in Czech league. I lost Viktoria plzen 6-0 at the top of the league because I changed tactic against a better team in paper. I beat Slavia Prague next game. Currently 2nd with Olomouc 1 point behind Slavia in a close title fight
Transfer listed the entire team, retired, deleted the game, threw the PC out the window, burned the house, went on an alcohol rampage, posted commentaries on the internet
Zealand keep telling everyone that he won 2 Streamers showdowns, just like some baldy that kept reminding us that he won 2 cups in 2 years with some mid table club in england
I wonder if it makes sense to do subscriber online matches. Get 10-20 people together and just play a full human league for a season with your subs as a different league.
Got FM'd again. Deleted the gane. Lost de CL and the Premier League on consecutive marches, 45 shots on goal, 1 goal. 4 shoots against, 4 goals. Total rubbish, inexplicable shannanigans
Hopefully someone can help me cause Ive spent so long trying to fix this issue with no luck so far. I tried to install a face pack for fm24 and all it’s done is get rid of the silhouettes so now it’s only the name of the player with no image. It has also removed regen images and replaced it with silhouettes. I have noticed that a very select few players have images. Someone help me pleasssseee 😩
the biggest crime is that you've been playing a 5-2-1-2 for this entire streamer series and it pains me to see it. (im not against defensive tactics or anything but having that as your main goalscoring tactic as a big 6 club is disappointing)
This is not the kind of omen I need when Chelsea play Arsenal IRL this weekend
As an Arsenal fan, I genuinely have 0 faith atm and think we're losing lol.
@Michael-zd2le May fans of all clubs come together and bond in universal pessimism ✊🏻
@@stokerino1905 to hate man city together as a family 🫡
Watching Benjy watch you during that 8-1 loss was one of the best moments of the network game so far
The next Hidden Grounds episode looks to be another certified Zealand classic. Can't wait.
I love the hidden grounds series, I'll be here next week for sure ! Can't wait to see how my football knowledge would expand this time

I hate using dominant tactics so i just make some diabolical combinations like 6-2-2 and i try to build a perfect team for that
No way it can coded that every year in virtual fm that a another system philosopy will be a meta.

I've always been a big fan of the 4-4-2 diamond to flood the midfield against superior opposition
How do u lose to a guy who doesn't even use custom tactics? let alone 8-1? Shocking. Zealand, go sit in a corner and think about what you've done.
I feel like the editors took special joy in cutting in the scenes of Zealand's pain 😅
Cannot wait for the next Hidden Grounds in Gibraltar 🎉
Loved this kind of tactic video, especially the visuals on the tactic screen.
Great video. Also, there's a moment in the trailer at the end where I went, "hey, that dude in the crowd looks like Zea! Oh, wait."

The biggest tragedy is that you didn't score once more so we could say: 'I'd 'ate 2 be you right now(!)'
Hi Zealand, this is all great but have you considered just using auto pick?
ive just started using a similar tactic and been dominating every competition so far. only differences are bpd cd and two cwb attack in the back, half back instead of a dlp in midfield and af and f9 pairing upfront.

Here before Zealand’s Hidden Grounds becomes a Netflix series
Great video. Good to see tifo level of analysis on FM. Only criticism is you forgot to use kev on the thumbnail.😊
Hyped for Hidden Grounds!

Petition for Zealand to change his numbers to normal numbers 😭THIS ISNT ITALY
Excited for the hidden grounds
The guy who won FM world wide litteraly did the opposite to Zealand

You needed to do a football. Hidden Grounds next week is going to slap
Failure is the mother of succes.

You never fail to surprise us!
Been playing this game since 99
I really need a gif of that 8-1 sigh lol
You must have been hungry, you just 8-1 goal, one after another.
Took torino to uecl in my first szn and did the doible over inter and roma and my lst 8 games were the top teams in the table (7-1) and then Juve

I would get destroyed when using 4 defenders against 2 striker. I now switch to 3 cb's when I face a formation with 2 strikers and it works for me.

Triggered at a 41212 being called a 433
Let's go Zealand!
You need "THE BOOK OF ICHSAN"
Back 3 = LEAKY GOALS! 😔⚽
Love that tactic :-)
Can I train multiple tactics on console ?
Good on ya' on finding a way on your tactics. 👑✨👍
Oh... #HiddenGrounds 💎✨👌

Spoilers for us Zealand Live watchers 😫
You can’t call yourself FM Senpai ffs
Sack Zea. Disgrace.
I've never been this early.
Lollujo number 1 as always. You will never as good as Kevin. Kevin is him.
So your master plan is to tell them your master plan.....not good
It was Chelsea, what else did you expect? :D
getting 22 mins out of this video is impressive I guess...
Brunos
i lost one time 20-1 to real
Copium is hard in this one😅
