I was Khale Da Costas Teacher when he was at primary school and was his football coach for a few years from u10 level to u11 :) Please play him. He is brill and can play on both wings. Shame game only has him as a left winger and left footed. He is both footed and can play both wings and both full back positions and wing back. And has played all over the pitch last few seasons. I am still in contact with him so if he turns into a hero here we can get interviews etc haha. :D
Tomthe BRIT hahaha. Take it that’s a joke? Ask him. He is on Fb. And twitter. I still speak to him. Who are you? He played for me for the school and for Highbury falcons.
Zane Banton is right there in the squad mate. 42 goals for me in one season in FM18 and promotion with "cough" Alfreton. Had Him as a Defensive/Pressing Forward in a 4-4-2, direct football, he has serious pace and will beat most defenders to the ball. Won't move club in 19. Good luck Kev win, lose or draw mate have fun!.
What I love most about this save is the first two comments I read are telling us you're personally bankrupt already. Excited to see where you go and any other ways you can spend your hard-earned FM money.
I'm probably a bit late but I have only just discovered this channel and its great. In the current situation i would stick with 4 at the back making sure the two best players, Bender and Herd are a vital part of the team. Look to play possession football with Noble as captain commanding the midfield and look to counter attack and play Mersen as a target man. Sign a couple youngsters from the academy and start training them up in the squad. Look to finish mid table for season 1 then build from there, maybe focus on cup competition.
You might want to play David Noble in the hole behind the strikers as an advanced playmaker or trequartista since he's not very mobile and doesn't have much stamina to be running about. Also, he's probably better off of the bench for about 30 minutes per match
I had trouble with St Albans in FM 18. I basically had what you do but some aged wingers which I was forced to use since there was no wage budget to sign new players. I lasted until December when the confidence of the board got too low from the team doing poorly. Luckily I found myself at Maidstone and my fortune has recovered. Good luck with St. Albans kev they are a tough crowd to please!
From only watching the up to the end of the squad intro I would recommend doing the following....Use a 4-3-1-2, sign a backup GK (or a new 1st choice if there is a better one available) and an AM. I know that might not be a system you've used before, but it makes most sense based on the strengths and weaknesses of the squad and your resources. ;)
Sam Merson has to be your go to guy up top to start with at least. 20 goals last year, the kid will have momentum. 5 at the back works with 3 across the middle.
I have been looking forward to this. The start of a new Non League to Legend serie. And then my reaction stays out for some 20 hours... Sorry for that, but I have been busy lately with some personal stuff which were a little more important then the serie. Kevin, as you know I love this serie from the moment I saw it. And I will follow this one again, don't worry. Goodluck with this Journey in Football Manager land. I am expecting a lot of offensive football, maybe some incoming 6-6's and hopefully the new Lazarov wil show up. I am sorry but that is the one and only player I will remember for the rest of my life.... To those who are just here to see this serie for the first time, Lazarov was a fabulous player which I got to know in the FM16 Non League to Legend serie. Again, kev... Goodluck!
Finally got my lunchtime viewing sorted! Also Kev, 5-3-2 WB is in the default list of formations near the top above where you see "4 Defender Formations"
Looking forward to this!! It’s my local team and I go and watch a few home games every year. Was going to manage myself but you beat me to it hahaha. Good luck.
You have a link with Watford and are local with Stevenage I recommend getting Draper and Gergoiue if you can from Stevenage plus see if you can get anyone from Watford all on loans
You should play like every other team in this league, including my own beloved Chippenham Town, and go with a goalie, a flat back 8, a linking midfielder on a deep-lying defensive posture, and a lone striker whose only role appears to be keeping the opposition goalie company for 90 minutes. It seems to be working quite well so far... Oh yeah, and if you get the option to sign James Guthrie... don't. You will regret it!
consider an unemployed save for FM20, those can be quite fun, and adds just a bit more realism :) Anyway, will be looking forward to next episode! GO St. Albans!
I prefer choosing my starting club. Once you get past the first 20 seconds of the video it makes no difference anyway, but knowing the club in advance gives me time to plan graphics, etc
Few players I've picked up with Hereford, might work for you... Adam Dugdale - DC (free) Michael Poke - GK (free) Cameron Mason - DM/MC (loan) Didn't need much else since Hereford had a decent starting squad
I think we have diffrent viev of realism Kev. Also enjoy more being a one ma-club. With that said I will still follow along this, since I love lover leagues. Good luck Kev. Though start
Love it already. I'm doing Eastbourne Borough in mine and when I started I had 3 staff too and one of those was a central defender as well. Going to be a challenge for us both!
Damian Hills oh nice one. I will deffo have a look a that this evening when I get on it. I have a small squad in the league below with a rubbish budget 😂 so good tips like that are very useful. Thanks mate 🙌🏻
I'm starting up my save over at Dulwich Hamlet in the same league as you, Kev! Actually pleasantly surprised at the options available - going for a fancy 5-2-3 formation!
Personally, I’d go 4-4-2 diamond. You keep the four man midfield without needing wingers, to fill the gaps on the wings you can encourage your full backs forward, and then use your CDM to just sit in front of the two CB’s to affectively have three at the back 🙂
Loving the new intro, Kev! I think it might be a long first season and may even turn out like Alfreton last year with no new contract being offered. Hope I'm wrong!
I’m doing a St Albans save aswell, honestly your better off playing a 4-3-3 with khale da Costa and zane Banton as wingers, sambou noble and kamdjo in midfield and then who ever your preference is at striker. Also moyo can play as a back up winger
i m playing with Dulwich hamlet and i have tried 4-2-3-1 control possesion tactics with some tweeks and its working for me till now played 9 matches 6 wins 2draws 1 loss and goal diff of 8 .havent changed the formation till now just little bit worried about wage budget which 130k above
This is almost a Kev team and you haven't even been in charge yet. I'd be shit housing with 5 at the back and a DM but that's how I roll. I'll be catching up.
I was at Concord they sacked me after 4 months. Also with st albans assistant is an idiot training players and I lost 10 out of 12 games could not defend. So I stepped in took over training got players focussing on defending for a while and I got the team back on track, which is where I am at now. Mid table is achievable.
Had me in stitches already - 'we;re fat and not very good, but at least we aren;t bothered about it'
underrated youtuber. the quality and immersion are absolutely class.
Kev you only bought 25% of that flat, you owe like £600 a month rent for the other 75%
Just found your channel with this video. I enjoy your slightly sarcastic straight to the point humour. I've subscribed to your channel.
u mad fam... I subed as soon as donnie pulled out the halifax mortgage calculator
I love that you're doing St. Albans. It's my town, and I always do a non-league to champions league run with them every year.
Buy the land, live in a caravan, sell the land for profit when you move on.
Dropping a like before the video starts, because I know it will be good.
Standard, always top class on here
Dropping?
Daniel Jordan same
Never seen a FM19 vid and glad this is my first. I love RTG career modes on fifa and had a little check of FM19 and love it!
I was Khale Da Costas Teacher when he was at primary school and was his football coach for a few years from u10 level to u11 :) Please play him. He is brill and can play on both wings.

cruiseylee don’t imposter me I taught him from under 10 and 11 don’t even try it
Tomthe BRIT hahaha. Take it that’s a joke? Ask him. He is on Fb. And twitter. I still speak to him. Who are you? He played for me for the school and for Highbury falcons.
@@cruiseylee take a joke mate. But respect to you.
Th' Duck That Cried Woof Please show me how that was an obvious joke by that guy? Looks totally serious him calling me a imposter.
cruiseylee if you want to talk about knowing the team, there is this kid in my year, who’s father owns the whole club, so yeah..
I live in St Albans in a three bed flat. Happy for you to move in temporarily before you can make the move to your own place!
Zane Banton is right there in the squad mate. 42 goals for me in one season in FM18 and promotion with "cough" Alfreton. Had Him as a Defensive/Pressing Forward in a 4-4-2, direct football, he has serious pace and will beat most defenders to the ball. Won't move club in 19. Good luck Kev win, lose or draw mate have fun!.
Also I'd play a flat back 5 with the players you have in a 5-3-2 tbh, playing wyatt at lb and bender at cb
Love your enthusiasm Kev. Definitely one of the best FM content creators. Good work.
Thanks!
SOOOOO EXCITED. Already love the new intro
I was enjoying FM until I broke my laptop. Happy to have your videos to watch though!
What I love most about this save is the first two comments I read are telling us you're personally bankrupt already. Excited to see where you go and any other ways you can spend your hard-earned FM money.
Chris Rowlands haha that literally got me too😂 just awesome. Gotta love non league fm 🙌🏻
I play for st Albans u18's In the EJA league, am also contracted to the club, very good club we had a decent fa cup run a few years back
Do you know the owners. One of them is the father of this kid in my year..

Great Video, first time I watched can’t believe you live just down the road from me! No one comes from these ends
Welcome to the channel!
The return of the series that inspired me to make my own!! Love this looks like it'll be a hard start
Never seen this before, its fantastic. Researching property is immense hahaha
Glad you enjoyed it!

I’m a St Albans supporter and I would recommend 4-3-3 3 mids 3 ST
Haha, that's literally what I'm using right now in my St Albans save, it's working fairly well.
I live in stalbans
I would like to see this series through! Already entertaining!
Did something similar with Chorley last year and ended up winning the champions league after 11 seasons. Unreal feeling
I''m currently struggling for the playoffs in my first season with St Albans. Very excited to see how you get along!
so excited for this series!!!!
I have been looking forward to this. The start of a new Non League to Legend serie. And then my reaction stays out for some 20 hours...

Them garages are literally on my road wow, can't wait to watch this series
Feel free to slide a pizza under the door for me at some point!
Ayy buzzing for this series although I'm late too it! didn't know you were also from Market Deeping
Whoo-hoo! It's back. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you, great stuff.
I did a St Albans FM 2016 save taking them to premiership glory in my 13th season. Ahh good times! You will enjoy.
I hope that happens in real life..
Finally got my lunchtime viewing sorted! Also Kev, 5-3-2 WB is in the default list of formations near the top above where you see "4 Defender Formations"
Looking forward to this!! It’s my local team and I go and watch a few home games every year. Was going to manage myself but you beat me to it hahaha. Good luck.
I work in St Albans and when I saw how much you had for a house, I nearly LOL'd.
Welcome back. Of course this season is Non-league with legend! St Albans are non-league, and Mr KC is an FM legend! 😀👍🏻⚽️
You have a link with Watford and are local with Stevenage I recommend getting Draper and Gergoiue if you can from Stevenage plus see if you can get anyone from Watford all on loans
Woop woop, this is going to be brilliant. Though I am going to miss the ultra-cheesy outro music!
You should play like every other team in this league, including my own beloved Chippenham Town, and go with a goalie, a flat back 8, a linking midfielder on a deep-lying defensive posture, and a lone striker whose only role appears to be keeping the opposition goalie company for 90 minutes. It seems to be working quite well so far...
Oh yeah, and if you get the option to sign James Guthrie... don't. You will regret it!
Tell me about that back 8. Every team has it. So boring to watch
consider an unemployed save for FM20, those can be quite fun, and adds just a bit more realism :) Anyway, will be looking forward to next episode! GO St. Albans!
I prefer choosing my starting club. Once you get past the first 20 seconds of the video it makes no difference anyway, but knowing the club in advance gives me time to plan graphics, etc
Looking forward to this series as always!
*Clicks team report* They weren’t kidding when they said we had nothing on the right hand side of midfield! 😂
im from St albans so I already love this save
_Matthew_ - same here
Also from Snorbans but moved up to Leeds!
Few players I've picked up with Hereford, might work for you...
Adam Dugdale - DC (free)
Michael Poke - GK (free)
Cameron Mason - DM/MC (loan)
Didn't need much else since Hereford had a decent starting squad
Just came across this series. Love it. 🙌
Glad you’re enjoying it! How did you find it?
lollujo looking for more FM19 as I can’t get it till Christmas. First series that came up when I put in FM19. 👍
I think we have diffrent viev of realism Kev. Also enjoy more being a one ma-club. With that said I will still follow along this, since I love lover leagues. Good luck Kev. Though start
As a football coach i love this kind of content
Love it already. I'm doing Eastbourne Borough in mine and when I started I had 3 staff too and one of those was a central defender as well. Going to be a challenge for us both!
Damian Hills any good players at Eastbourne Boro available to go on loan Damian mate?. I’m doing A Save with from the league below.
@@JasonBrookes they are a very ordinary bunch. Ryan Hall a left winger isn't too bad. Probably my best that was at the club when I arrived
Damian Hills oh nice one. I will deffo have a look a that this evening when I get on it. I have a small squad in the league below with a rubbish budget 😂 so good tips like that are very useful. Thanks mate 🙌🏻
Oh daaaamn. That's my local team. 😂 Will have to watch this religiously!
That intro 😍 Great video
I'm starting up my save over at Dulwich Hamlet in the same league as you, Kev! Actually pleasantly surprised at the options available - going for a fancy 5-2-3 formation!
Personally, I’d go 4-4-2 diamond.
You keep the four man midfield without needing wingers, to fill the gaps on the wings you can encourage your full backs forward, and then use your CDM to just sit in front of the two CB’s to affectively have three at the back 🙂
been waiting for this for ages!!!
Let’s go Kev, can’t wait
Loving the new intro, Kev!
I think it might be a long first season and may even turn out like Alfreton last year with no new contract being offered. Hope I'm wrong!
That moment that even YT thinks that you need to go back and rewatch your older videos (This one was in the reccomended) 🤣🤣🤣
good luck kev!
good luck. gonna need some new guys in for sure !!!
Looking forward to trying this save when I get the game
Philip Ginter non league the way to go🙌🏻
*I LOVE THE INTRO OH MY GOD*
If I was in this situation I would probably resign
Ra2orLeaf I wouldn’t because I live in stalbans, lol
Wyatt is the best player at St Albans by far and sambou is really good as well should definitely play them both
As a Swede, I approve of that club crest.
I'm using 4-3-1-2 control possession with Truro started with no center mids ended up it being the strongest part with no money
I'm just watching this until the next episode of non league to legend leamington
I’m doing a St Albans save aswell, honestly your better off playing a 4-3-3 with khale da Costa and zane Banton as wingers, sambou noble and kamdjo in midfield and then who ever your preference is at striker. Also moyo can play as a back up winger
i m playing with Dulwich hamlet and i have tried 4-2-3-1 control possesion tactics with some tweeks and its working for me till now
played 9 matches 6 wins 2draws 1 loss and goal diff of 8 .havent changed the formation till now just little bit worried about wage budget which 130k above
Can you put the player attributes graph on Kev cheers looking forward to this!!! 😁
I feel FM needs to include mortgage calculator and planning application for the manager's kitchen extension when you take charge of bigger clubs.
Love the new intro,
definitely need another GK
Buzzing to see a career with my local side
Hi Kev I’m back watching your videos
I hear Ben Wyatt is a big fan of calzones.
Good luck kev
This is almost a Kev team and you haven't even been in charge yet.
I'd be shit housing with 5 at the back and a DM but that's how I roll. I'll be catching up.
somehow got lost on this channel but YT knows it's destiny for me to return..threw multiple videos in the recommendations lol
you should always live in a caravan! by the end of the series it'll be pimped out to the max.
Yassss can’t wait
Popcorn and coffee, name a worse combination man hahaha
Kev great new intro. About formation please go to Kev's 4-3-1-2
I know a good young striker 'Jarrod Bowen' you should loan him. Also play a 3-5-2 formation.
Yaaayy new series!!! :D
this series is goddamn hilarious omg
Missed this!
I’m from the area, look in Redbourn or Markyate for soemthing a tad cheaper
You could train Khale da Costa to play as a striker maybe?
The road to glory starts here...
It has started! Woohoo! Butter popcorn at the ready! Comence video!
Andy would love Snorbans it has a lovely church
Great start kev! but you seem to have deleted the video explaining exactly what "rules"you are following in the Non League to Legend save.
It’s definitely still there, only posted a few days ago
yessssss it's back
Narrow diamond, perhaps? Could be done with loaning a half decent AM I reckon.
Aye nice i live in burton not far from you Kev
I was at Concord they sacked me after 4 months. Also with st albans assistant is an idiot training players and I lost 10 out of 12 games could not defend. So I stepped in took over training got players focussing on defending for a while and I got the team back on track, which is where I am at now. Mid table is achievable.
East thurrock, the memories😢
A new journey begins. Let’s sit back and enjoy the ride
