Someone who's never watched a Llaneros stream: "How did he get promoted?" Me, who's watched almost every Llaneros stream: "Ummmm... not really sure. He hit continue for a while and suddenly realized he was in a different league."
In major European competitions it can get absolutely ridiculous. Like suddenly when we reached Ligue 1, my Paris FC players wanted new contracts from 30K/month up to 90/120/150k!! I had to sell my top player and half of my team to keep my key players and heavily rely on free recruits to make ends meet. Also I played numerous friendlies away against top teams to get as much money as I could during the summer. I got crushed horribly every time of course, but that 1M€ made in the process helped A LOT.
Dude when I got promoted to the Mexican first division players went from demanding 4500/w to 10-15k/w I tried to meet them somewhere in the middle if they were important and the rest I just told them they could stay or leave and because we were cruising mid table looking for a top 8 finish most of them decided to run out their contract but were happy we were getting positive results. It bought me time to get more tv revenue to sign some experienced free agents.. but I imagine it would’ve turned out different if I was battling relegation
Got Mirko Topic on loan (without paying his wages) in my Greek Superleague 2 save. Totally bossed the league, got promoted and helped us finish 5th in our first season in charge. Halfway through 3rd season, Topic being a squad player back in Vojvodina, and I need a MC because the one I got wasn't that great and I needed a little bit of extra depth. Jan 1st 2022 midnight, pop champagnes for the new year, then call Vojvodina straight away to see if he's available. "Vojvodina would require no wage contribution or monthly fee to allow Mirko Topic to go on loan" Is an elephant heavy? HE'S COMING BACK BABY
Ok, so I'm not sure how this happened but here we go. I'm playing as York City, a fairly local-ish team to me. I got into management with bare experience "this is the first FM game I've owned" and the first season of complete trial and error, I got sacked. Tried again and scraped a playoff win in the National League North. The season following we lost our first game but won the title with just the one loss, a semi-permanent 433 formation with 1 striker and 2 strikers just off as support, A very solid defence and a midfield which bossed games. The season after and were back in the Football League, League Two brought the very little challenge, I won a consecutive title this time completely undefeated, only losing the cups. I was able to bring in a few free players who solved my goal-scoring problem, I finished the season with 122 goals in all comps. Now I was in League One, I really thought that this was gonna get tough. I brought in some new players, including Aaron Morley from Rochdale who proved to be a masterstroke, getting 6 goals and 16 assists as I won the title for a 3 season running in the final day, beating Charlton and Oxford to it, proving everyone, including myself, wrong. Now its the present day and I'm in the Championship, beyond my wildest dreams I'm with some of the biggest clubs in the country and one of the best leagues in the world. And I'm just a small city club from North Yorkshire, currently, 12 games in and I'm bouncing around the playoffs. I really have no idea how I managed to get here but I must say, it feels good.
(*^▽^*) Does runs are awsome! Make back-up safe-files! because it isn't the first time that my safe is bad and does not want to load. I always start off in the LL and the first season in pushing for promotion. Contract are usually running off and i "invest" a lot in Prem rejects, the 18 y/o who are not going to make it but will do fine in the lower league mix that with some xp from the older players in set for the first 3 seasons. Its crazy that, even tho we win in cupgames from higher (1 or 2 leagues) ranked teams in the cup games, by the time of promotion they acting like they can't remember the wins vs those clubs. But make a 5 game run without a lost (I want 2 or 3 wins) and the team will come back in fighting form! Still busy with Bradford Park Avenue to get them in to the Prem (2 saves went bad *.* ) and there is so mutch to win in those first seasons for the rest of the run. And wen u do find yourself in a epic run in the FA cup, don't cheese the board to mutch for money... i got million to spend ... and iam in the VNL-North x"D No-way that iam gonna spend that mutch! I just wanted 10k extra to hold on the players that i wanted to keep and buy 2 players (just for the salary that they ask for) Keep up the nice work! Maybe a update?
@@henkdetank2881 Very nice run my dude. Maybe I should value the cups more like you did. Unfortunately not much else happened. I made it all the way to a 4th place finish which I was stoked about. Beat Brentford to get to the final where I faced Leeds. Lead for around 20 minutes then they changed to a more attacking style of play and completly overran my midfield. My lead quickly crumbled but managed to get a goal in the dying minutes to go to extra time. It was going well just going defensive and get to pens. (My team had a good record of shootouts) but my defense had given their all but to no avail. Quickly went from 2-2 to 4-2. I lost but I was extremtly expressed with the team to get that far. Final meeting I congratulated them and they all went away for their holidays in good spirits. After that I took a break from thr game and then FM21 came out. I never got to the Prem but I was very close. However I have gone York City again and I'm gonna try it again but learning from my mistakes. I was running the finances thin so thats something I'm working on.
@@KingEddo8 Well the FA cup is more luck i think... But wen u have a good run, i now know, u can make bank on that! Ofcourse u got the first games is win or lose and after that u have the best result over 2 games. Winning a shoot-out over a way better team is just amazing.... and then u get your team crushed in the next round \(*o*)/. But it's about the money @ that point. It makes so mutch room for improvement on the field. I keep a look out for the youngters in the prem team. Pull them all on my shortlist and wen there contracts run out and do not find a new club wen the season is started u can pick them up for almost nothing, I do the same from youngster on the championship team and look closer to the BET1/2 if they have it in them (trail, trail, trail all of them!) i also look for the "almost ready for first team" @ that point... sign them for 2 years with a option if promoted @ 2 years. They are so cheap that the money u keep u can spent on players who are the base of your team. Beside that, i do play a formation without strikers 4-1-3-2/4-3-1-2 with 3 dynamic midfielder, 2 attacking on both sides and the 1 behind or in front of the dynamic midfielders. (depended on the more def or atk settings) and always pressing high up the pitch. Eduro is key in this set-up. (and rotation so good for the youghters) And for the big game u want your best preforming players all fixed on winning and good health. I do make painfull mistakes with those yougsters sometimes ... just made a deal for the 2+2 years and he is out all season -.- and i do mis a lot of backbone in my team of missing out in XP players but i keep a look out for some desent and cheap players who can fill that leadership role !
@@henkdetank2881 I know what you mean. Prem youngsters are great untill they get itchy feet and decide to upset the team. Luckily I havn't had much issues with morale because I just get rid of trouble makers. Pretty sure my team has an average age of 23 or something its hilarious.
Yeah, in Italy there's at least one team every season that gets promoted out of nowhere and that goes straight back down the year after, never to be seen again😂 Great video btw
Something I would recommend is taking stock of contract situations prior to being promoted. If you're able to install relegation salary decreases and remove fat promotion salary increases, that can have a noticeable affect on your upcoming wage budget.
When I reached the Prem, I overhauled my entire team at the cost of all my team cohesion. I think the best move would be to sign 1 Wonder kid, 1 league level Important Player, get cheap loans and just bite the bullet on bad value contract renewals for core members, until the second transfer window at least. But I couldn't resist shopping so I cleaned house and got as many scouting gems as I could afford which put my team into the most volatile state its ever been in. I was worried that salary demands would lock me into bad contracts, but in retrospect its probably equal or better overall value than transferring out those roles to new players. Just because team cohesion is a pain to rebuild and you have so much money anyway, you can always pick up upgrades on a whim. Anyway a number of squads in the Prem are so bad that relegation doesn't really seem like a threat regardless of how smoothly I played the promotion. FM2020 is very forgiving...last year my team said fighting to stay up was unrealistic and we ended up winning the playoffs. Who knew praising training could take a football team so far. Also, never knew about senior affiliates thanks m8
Have you noticed that praising individual training, or criticising it improve players' work rate particularly? I play fm19, and i'm crazy about training. And after a few seasons, i've noticed that once in a while (3-4 months) some attributes go up immediately after the praise or criticism, especially work rate. I'm in the 10th season, and some players improved their work rate significantly.
@@prsprsfull some stats are probably not influenced by the training schedule and perhaps work rate etc. have a naturally high base growth to compensate therefore more effected by praising which might increase the overall multiplier. I have no idea though :^)
Bruh i play as AFC Totton (8th leauge) and got Southampton as a patron club... and they refuse to loan anyone plus i cant even loan anyone half of the time, think it has to do something with the fact my club is barely semipro and most of my players have temporary contracts... BUT they allow me to use their youth facilities and training objects... so im an 8th leauge team with "fantastic" and "good" facilities traits while everyone from my leauge and like 3 leauges above has them as "poor" lmao
@@aw2584 I'm pretty a Premier League team wouldn't have a single players whose current ability is only good enough for the 8th league of England 😂 No wonder they wouldn't loan you any players mate! That would so unrealistic if they did
Hey Zealand! I used to live and work in the city Llaneros are from, met my wife there - went to see them play a few times too. Very open stadium, hot as hell!
Currently 10 years in the future with Cheltenham in England. Battled from 4th tier up to the 1st through playoffs with each promotion. 5th year in the Prem and defending champion of both English Cups. Your videos have given me plenty of motivation to keep going. Also great to learn from a fellow American!
Reminds me of my Triestina save were I went from Serie C straight to Serie A and then got completely destroyed until I managed to safe me so narrowly in the last three marches and even got 15th. So always believe in it!!
When I was doing my Beira Mar going from 3rd to Primeira Liga, I started my first season with 2 1st Team players and a home grown substitute keeper. That was it. I had to loan in everybody else, because my wage budget, after reallocating all my transfer budget, was still a third of the second to last team.
That's rough for team cohesion. I also got promoted back to back in Portugal with Trofense, but somehow my board could afford a few decent free signings. I still find that loaning from Porto, Benfica and Sporting, as well as a cheeky brazilian here or there is step #1 to success in Primeira Liga, though.
Strangest Promotion I had was from Bundesliga 2 to Bundesliga. No money, bad team, managed to somewhat turn it around after the 2nd transfer window. Got out of relegation into relegation playoff, and managed to stay up. Although I placed 16th, I managed to win the DFB-Pokal against Borussia Dortmund, who won the Bundesliga. Strange game, won 0-2. Did have rather lucky draws, but it is insane to almost get relegated and then win the DFB-Pokal against the league champion.
I like getting young players with good potential for my first team so that as our team gets promoted the players develop to meet the challenge, helps to keep a winning formula rather than making drastic changes to try and improve
I like to play with promotion pushing Championship teams (Reading for example) and one thing I like to do is get promoted, get a small amount of talent, pot the money, and go back down. Cash in the parachute payments, develop the talents, get promoted again. In FM 19, I somehow used this to make Leeds the richest club in the world after 20 seasons.
Just like you, Z, I took 3 seasons to get out of the Portuguese 3rd tier because there is no champion, just promoted teams. Then the second flight was a wrap and here I am in my 4th season in the Liga NOS and in the champions league playoffs for the second year running
Another awesome video Zea! The save I'm doing has been crazy on so many levels, I took over Palermo (because I freakin love Italian football), promoted them 2 times (2 champ titles) until we got stuck a year in the Serie B. Even being in Serie B money doesn't flow like water (had to sell one star player) because money wasn't enough. It's difficult because I needed two years to get to Serie A (did not win the Serie B though). After that we got 52 million in tv rights (over a year) and financially the team just got healthier each month, until Juventus came calling on my 5th year (I left Palermo on 17th place). It's my chance to win a Serie A title and something in Europe so I couldn't say no. But it's been my longest save in more then 15 years, its been crazy but it is keeping me hooked (even in my 6th year). After winning everything I will probably resign and go back to Palermo. At least that's my plan.
This was me! i won the play offs to get chester into the premier league then ended up with 14 points and just 3 wins. i took it on the chin and am using the money to build infrastructure and a squad with potential. We were set up to fail though, even going 50k a week over budget on wages, my wages were a third of the next lowest and 15 times less than man city. im confident of doing well in the championship and kicking on. 41m parachute payment helps
Hey Z, there is a saying: easier sayed than done :D I am struggling every time (in like 20 saves, same club) to stay up and play SOME football, after promotion, wiining the league, the cup and the SuperCup, after that everything goes down, with more or less same players, good ratings, twicks in tactics and whatnot ..... they just dont play at the same level anymore, every time, i start again, try to see where and what i am doing wrong .... same things happening ...... maybe 1 day you will help me save my save ?! or you, kind sir, do a streaming save with my team, and have your saying about it ;). Keep up the tremendous job your doing. Good health, long life :D
What team you currently managing? I’m managing Coruña and my first year I’ve won the second league , second year placed 4th in la liga, now in my 3rd year I’m a contender for the champions league again
I have taken Forest Green from League two in England into the Prem, which i have just confirmed my 3rd season in a row in the Premier league. Certainly hasn't been easy, but i focused on getting free transfers for my team whilst getting the board to improve our facilities e.g stadium, youth etc.
I've just finished a season where I've taken Chelmsford City on back to back promotions (starting in Vanarama South) all the way to the Premier League. It took me 5 seasons in the league but I've finally won the the top league! Pro tip for Vanarama South, sign Jamie Gray. He hit 30+ in all competitions in Vanarama South and Vanarama National. He was even scoring in the Championship.
Just made it from Liga 3 to Bundesliga with TSV Munchen in 3 seasons. We only made promotion by a hair both times and we definitely do not have the quality for this league, but the Sicilian Defense has been our wings. We are currently hanging in there at 12th after 10 matches.
@@dertatar6951 I never had much money, so I could never change much, but my biggest signings were probably Luka Ilic at SS, Benjamin Uphoff in goal, and Ben Pearson from Preston at DM. Quirin Moll, Fabian Greilinger, and Leon Klassen ended up being useful players for quite a while.
I always struggle more in tier 3 than in tier 2 or tier 1: this year for example I struggled from 5 years in serie C with Turris Santa Croce (a tier 8th Italian football club) and I stayed like only 2 years in Serie B... Same thing happened last year with Eastleight.
I just about to get promoted with Bristol City too! I had to do it in my second season because I started as a free agent and joined late though. It's always weirdly intimating seeing so much in the bank account. Like, where do I begin on strengthening the team?
@@cianomugzy975 I haven't even finished the season yet. However, I have picked up Sergio Díaz for free for the next season. I plan on converting him into a Trequartista in the left AM position. I need a new right wing back now
Going straight up twice with Burton Albion, finished 14th in the first season in the prem. With less than half the wage budget of the 19th team. Tv deals money coming up to buy the 18 years old Greek forward that will go to Man City for an insane amount of money
I once got comfortably (after 2/3 of the season where I struggled a bit) promoted in first place with Sheffield Wednesday in my first season (FM19). My squad was kinda old, and HUGELY overpriced (Imo). I'm a bargain hunter, and man, there were so many bargains... Ended up overhauling my squad (starting 11 in the Championship consisted of 5 loanees), Zagadou for 5M, Van de Beek for 3.2M, Andreas Poulsen for 4M, Grealish for 15M... Etc etc. Ended up making my goal to not spend a single pound in the transfer market (although wage budget got a lot bigger), and made a squad full of promising players that I thought could fit my system (as long as they were less than 5-6M, usually). If I was to get relegated, I wanted a future for the club, with promising players whom could be sold for big bucks, trying to not have a transfer deficit if relegation came (like Fulham did IRL) and other players that could stay for future squads. Ended up finishing 7th, Zagadou was a holy beast, Van de Beek replaced Barry Bannan really well, Poulsen(3.8M) did okay, and had a good backup in Toni Lato (1.2M), Toljan(5.5M) went really well after 6 months, Kishna (0$) was a HUGE surprise, and Grealish wasn't great, but sure wasn't bad (Other Starting11 players were Tom Lees and Joe Wildsmith, whom were already there, and McTominay on another season loan at my club). Then my college semester begun and I deleted the save cuz I was kinda addicted. So I really think that's an okay strat (I really thought it was a good idea, but that's just WITH ENGLAND'S PREMIER LEAGUE) , cuz if everything goes wrong, you're a rich, full of promising players championship side, with money to spend.
Also: if you're somewhat financially unstable but are likely to get promoted, watch out with huge loan increases after promotion. This nearly got to me bankrupt once my Crewe save got to league 1 but the max salaries were bound to the leagues average..
Got promoted in my first season, and first ever FM save, (humble brag) via the playoffs with Birmingham (an absolute fluke, I've never celebrated so much in my life). I'm only 6 games into the Premier League but our record is W2D3L1, despite having a Championship level squad (except for on loan Curtis Jones who is scoring bangers in every game), and not having last season's top scorer Scott Hogan. Birmingham's finances are terrible to begin with but TV money looks to be a massive boost (pretty sure our overall balance was negative at one point), and these tips will help to hopefully keep us up. COYB
Got promoted into the Scottish Premiership today and I am currently a mid table side around halfway through the season. I think the best tip for me was to not make too many signings. Because I only made 3 big signings, I kept up my team cohesion and locker room atmsophere
My custom made team is the first club from Essex (county in England) to get into the premier league. I believe it might be the first time a team from this county has ever been in the top tier in England ever. Aaaaand we’re the senior affiliate for a lot of clubs (we’re not the normal fairytale)
I got promoted with Gloucester City from League 2 to League 1 after couple years, then unexpectedly from League 1 to Championship, then unexpectedly from Championship to Premier League. Just finished the first season like 12nd, which was amazing. I was almost in euro contention the first half of the season but second half absolutely whooped me. Thank FM gods for the Balkans and Scandinavia
Got promoted with coventry city to the premier league. first season 7th place. After that my team struggled for 2 seasons with the amount of matches I was giving due to europe. I am now in my 4th season in top flight and fighting for 2-6 in the league. Big tip - hold your academy
@@khalifomar1845 I'm doing a Birmingham save too, and the finances are really bad to begin with, but I got promoted via the playoffs and was given a £35m transfer budget even though the overall balance was like £3m
They’ve just got promoted with me in my save to the prem via the play offs, me and them were basically playing second fiddle to major money Newcastle led by Deschamps
I got promoted consecutively from 3rd Turkish league to the top flight. One championship and one promotion trough playoff Idk what the the hell I did but I'm blown out by the Money by winning money in the league
I got three promotions in a row with Bradford City and am now in the Premier League. My Senior Affiliate was Liverpool and that helped me a lot throughout these 3 years. However once you reach the Premier League you will lose this advantage. If your team relies to much on loan players the promotion can be very very difficult. Consider this as a warning to players with the same tactic. At this moment our position is 19 and had some seriously bad luck with some of our direct competitors in the latest games.
Can someone explain the sky bet championship I can't see the prize money and I'm playing as Bolton so we broke af and Sharon Britan is trying to sell our club
In my very first season of my very first playthrough with Darlington FC I lost the playoff final. That was the last league defeat in 62 games! Promoted undefeated from Vanarama North and eventually lost in round 16 against a team called Dorking. Figures.
Barely made it past relegation with Bath City in my first season in the Prem after 8 years from the national league. Managed to scrape 15th place and it was smooth sailing from then on.
Got promoted with Nottingham Forest in my first season only player I brought in was Brewster on loan. First season in the PL, brought Brewster back on loan, Ollie Watkins, Ruben Blanco and Pol Lonch. Not the biggest of signings, but I’m 7th.
Needed this because I am brand new to the game and got promotion with Sunderland to the championship my first season. And between finding a couple good signings and a great tactic for my squad, I am looking at promotion again. And quite significantly. I am about 13 points ahead with about 12 games left and I just took down a decent premier league squad in the FA cup 4-0... with my two star backup goalie Anthony Patterson. I also beat Man City in the Carabao Cub before getting crushed by Arsenal in the next round. I've been panicking about how the hell I am going to manage in a league where single players make more per year, I guess some make actually like two or three times more per year, than my entire squad. This is my first time playing more than half a season. I have no wonderkids. My coaching staff is small and so is my scouting staff. And none of my staff are great. So yeah I guess this will be interesting.
Got promoted twice in a row from VNS to the League 2 using a created team. Got most of my main players sold out because of the gap in reputation and the ones that I did reject offers for got unhappy at me and ruined the team dynamics. Stayed up barely though thankfully.
Picked up FM after three years and decided to give St. Pauli a crack. Won the 2. BuLi by scraping results and thought I would get trounced after promotion - but focused on the Team Cohesion side of things. Kept morale as high as I could, kept the important guys onside, and aside from one big (350k) transfer for the first team, brought Jones (again), Brewster and Hoever in from Liverpool on loan. Shipped off all the unhappy fringers on loan and... Voila. Won the Bundesliga as well, with just a single loss to Leipzig all season. Team Cohesion is huuuuuge.
I somehow managed to get Bolton back into the Prem despite being predicted to be 23rd at the start of season. I may need this to have a chance of staying up
i am on my fleetwood save, just got promoted to premier, and struggling to keep above relgation... :/ also the foreigners rules on england man... :/ very helfull video too... all great tips... trying my best to stay up... :D Also from an older scouting video, MAN AFRICA IS A GOLDMINE... :D
I know I am ready to get promoted when I can more often than not beat a team 2 leagues higher than mine, I shoot for 40-50% win rate, because you can improve when you get there even more. When I say, I am not ready, it means if I am losing to Champions League teams whilst in Sky Bet 2, but I am in the playoffs, I will put a player in net and my goalie as striker, not too many goalies end up with 10 goals, but one of mine did, we even won a game like that, so I also had to put all my 18 year olds instead of my first team because in the game I won, we kept the opponent to 0 shots.
Hey, I just took Doncaster from league 1 to the championship and the board gave me 110k transfer budget and currently have 500k balance. Liverpool are my senior affiliate . I will be following your steps here trying to keep the dynamic good and get in atleast 2 experienced players then some loans from senior affiliate. pray for me .
Welp, after being mostly trash as a coach, and forced to languish in Wales for a few seasons, I stumbled into a job in Vanarama South, and took 15-1 prediction Tonbridge to the 2027 title!! Ok, now what?!? I've gotten all the tips, so here's hoping I don't have a miserable Vanarama National campaign getting the hell beat outta me! Anyway, thanks for the video.
Playing as Northampton and I'm fighting for the league two title! Just need to get my finances in check and build up my promising youngsters (Scott Pollock and Sean whaler)
Got promoted to the championship with Plymouth argyl. Last game of the season I won and got into playoffs on goal difference. Somehow fluked it and won promotion!! Will find the step up difficult as the board was asking to fight against relegation that season I got promoted…
it is kinda late, but i just got promoted to the prem with wycombe in my first season without making any signings in the championship. i basically promoted a league one side to the prem. now the odds to go back down are 1001, while the 19th Brentford got 201 odds. mission impossible because anyone who is actually good isn't even remotely interested in joining us. sooo wish me luck.
Took 5 seasons to get promoted with rotherham with no money and some how won the championship and now in a reglation battle even tho I was predicted to be last
I took Bath up to the National League and somehow with the addition of three players I'm expected to win the National League upon promotion. I'm five games into the season and have yet to drop points, but I just had the injury bug bite hard, 4 of my 5 best players are out for at least 2 months.
I just started my next sesaon looking to make playoffs (club wants just top half finish) this time and win them so hopefully I will be referring to this video sooner rather than later.
Im playing right now with Lupa Roma in Serie B and ive let me count 14 (fourteen) ! players on loan. I also dont like that i have so many players on loan, but i have no other choice. There are so many talented players with low wages that i have to do it. 14.
1st season with Exeter City in 4th English league 1st place and promotion (obviosly xd) 2nd season in 3rd league 7th just 2 points out of play offs 3rd season in 3rd league 2nd in the league and gets automaticaly promoted 4th season / 1st season in the Championship after 27 matches currently on 21st position with 3point gap ahead of relegation with 6W 7D 14L in january I spend rly alot thaks to Clause sell of Ethan Empedou for 10m xD that will probably made me to stay up since I have 7 points in last 5 games after like 7 defeats so the changes are visable
So i just tried to get a bigger affiliate to make money but the board who were looking for the affiliate Dident find any BUT THEY AGREE IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDÉ 😭 Why They dont fiind any??
Depends on the reputation of the league, your team and that countries youth rating/usefulness to other sides. I managed in the northern irish league for my save and they'll never find one, I got my team to 5 star rating and by that stage your team is then too big to have a senior affiliate but until then the league simply isn't good enough to benefit anyone else. It sucks I try and get junior affiliate in places like the U.S. or Aus not sure if it actually helps.
My first promotion, I hired a bunch of players for free, played the most boring way for one season and at the end I barely saved myself with a new draw record in the league
Got promoted with Luton have quite a few league 1 and 2 standard of players... we have to now play at millwalls ground cause ours isnt good enough im fucked
Need players? Look at the regens at these clubs: Atletico Nacional, Deportivo Cali,Junior...and the best club that produce wonderkids in Colombia: Envigado Fc.

Someone who's never watched a Llaneros stream: "How did he get promoted?"
Me, who's watched almost every Llaneros stream: "Ummmm... not really sure. He hit continue for a while and suddenly realized he was in a different league."
Lol, we all knew it when he got the achievement!
The worst part about promotion is when it messes up the wage demands of the players and they want 3 times as much even though you cant afford it
In major European competitions it can get absolutely ridiculous. Like suddenly when we reached Ligue 1, my Paris FC players wanted new contracts from 30K/month up to 90/120/150k!! I had to sell my top player and half of my team to keep my key players and heavily rely on free recruits to make ends meet. Also I played numerous friendlies away against top teams to get as much money as I could during the summer. I got crushed horribly every time of course, but that 1M€ made in the process helped A LOT.

Halfway through 3rd season, Topic being a squad player back in Vojvodina, and I need a MC because the one I got wasn't that great and I needed a little bit of extra depth. Jan 1st 2022 midnight, pop champagnes for the new year, then call Vojvodina straight away to see if he's available.
"Vojvodina would require no wage contribution or monthly fee to allow Mirko Topic to go on loan"
Is an elephant heavy? HE'S COMING BACK BABY
Ok, so I'm not sure how this happened but here we go.
I'm playing as York City, a fairly local-ish team to me. I got into management with bare experience "this is the first FM game I've owned" and the first season of complete trial and error, I got sacked. Tried again and scraped a playoff win in the National League North.
The season following we lost our first game but won the title with just the one loss, a semi-permanent 433 formation with 1 striker and 2 strikers just off as support, A very solid defence and a midfield which bossed games.
The season after and were back in the Football League, League Two brought the very little challenge, I won a consecutive title this time completely undefeated, only losing the cups.
I was able to bring in a few free players who solved my goal-scoring problem, I finished the season with 122 goals in all comps.
Now I was in League One, I really thought that this was gonna get tough. I brought in some new players, including Aaron Morley from Rochdale who proved to be a masterstroke, getting 6 goals and 16 assists as I won the title for a 3 season running in the final day, beating Charlton and Oxford to it, proving everyone, including myself, wrong.
Now its the present day and I'm in the Championship, beyond my wildest dreams I'm with some of the biggest clubs in the country and one of the best leagues in the world. And I'm just a small city club from North Yorkshire, currently, 12 games in and I'm bouncing around the playoffs.
I really have no idea how I managed to get here but I must say, it feels good.
(*^▽^*) Does runs are awsome!
Make back-up safe-files! because it isn't the first time that my safe is bad and does not want to load.
I always start off in the LL and the first season in pushing for promotion. Contract are usually running off and i "invest" a lot in Prem rejects, the 18 y/o who are not going to make it but will do fine in the lower league mix that with some xp from the older players in set for the first 3 seasons.
Its crazy that, even tho we win in cupgames from higher (1 or 2 leagues) ranked teams in the cup games, by the time of promotion they acting like they can't remember the wins vs those clubs.
But make a 5 game run without a lost (I want 2 or 3 wins) and the team will come back in fighting form!
Still busy with Bradford Park Avenue to get them in to the Prem (2 saves went bad *.* ) and there is so mutch to win in those first seasons for the rest of the run.
And wen u do find yourself in a epic run in the FA cup, don't cheese the board to mutch for money... i got million to spend ... and iam in the VNL-North x"D No-way that iam gonna spend that mutch! I just wanted 10k extra to hold on the players that i wanted to keep and buy 2 players (just for the salary that they ask for)
Keep up the nice work! Maybe a update?
@@henkdetank2881 Very nice run my dude. Maybe I should value the cups more like you did.
Unfortunately not much else happened. I made it all the way to a 4th place finish which I was stoked about. Beat Brentford to get to the final where I faced Leeds. Lead for around 20 minutes then they changed to a more attacking style of play and completly overran my midfield. My lead quickly crumbled but managed to get a goal in the dying minutes to go to extra time. It was going well just going defensive and get to pens. (My team had a good record of shootouts) but my defense had given their all but to no avail. Quickly went from 2-2 to 4-2. I lost but I was extremtly expressed with the team to get that far. Final meeting I congratulated them and they all went away for their holidays in good spirits.
After that I took a break from thr game and then FM21 came out. I never got to the Prem but I was very close.
However I have gone York City again and I'm gonna try it again but learning from my mistakes. I was running the finances thin so thats something I'm working on.
@@KingEddo8 Well the FA cup is more luck i think... But wen u have a good run, i now know, u can make bank on that! Ofcourse u got the first games is win or lose and after that u have the best result over 2 games. Winning a shoot-out over a way better team is just amazing.... and then u get your team crushed in the next round \(*o*)/.
But it's about the money @ that point.
It makes so mutch room for improvement on the field. I keep a look out for the youngters in the prem team. Pull them all on my shortlist and wen there contracts run out and do not find a new club wen the season is started u can pick them up for almost nothing,
I do the same from youngster on the championship team and look closer to the BET1/2 if they have it in them (trail, trail, trail all of them!) i also look for the "almost ready for first team" @ that point... sign them for 2 years with a option if promoted @ 2 years. They are so cheap that the money u keep u can spent on players who are the base of your team.
Beside that, i do play a formation without strikers 4-1-3-2/4-3-1-2 with 3 dynamic midfielder, 2 attacking on both sides and the 1 behind or in front of the dynamic midfielders. (depended on the more def or atk settings) and always pressing high up the pitch. Eduro is key in this set-up. (and rotation so good for the youghters) And for the big game u want your best preforming players all fixed on winning and good health.
I do make painfull mistakes with those yougsters sometimes ... just made a deal for the 2+2 years and he is out all season -.- and i do mis a lot of backbone in my team of missing out in XP players but i keep a look out for some desent and cheap players who can fill that leadership role !
@@henkdetank2881 I know what you mean. Prem youngsters are great untill they get itchy feet and decide to upset the team. Luckily I havn't had much issues with morale because I just get rid of trouble makers. Pretty sure my team has an average age of 23 or something its hilarious.
@@KingEddo8 Sounds good, give me a update wen you are @ the end of the season :)
Yeah, in Italy there's at least one team every season that gets promoted out of nowhere and that goes straight back down the year after, never to be seen again😂 Great video btw
Pray for Spezia
And then there is Benevento.
F for Perugia
Something I would recommend is taking stock of contract situations prior to being promoted. If you're able to install relegation salary decreases and remove fat promotion salary increases, that can have a noticeable affect on your upcoming wage budget.
When I reached the Prem, I overhauled my entire team at the cost of all my team cohesion. I think the best move would be to sign 1 Wonder kid, 1 league level Important Player, get cheap loans and just bite the bullet on bad value contract renewals for core members, until the second transfer window at least. But I couldn't resist shopping so I cleaned house and got as many scouting gems as I could afford which put my team into the most volatile state its ever been in. I was worried that salary demands would lock me into bad contracts, but in retrospect its probably equal or better overall value than transferring out those roles to new players. Just because team cohesion is a pain to rebuild and you have so much money anyway, you can always pick up upgrades on a whim. Anyway a number of squads in the Prem are so bad that relegation doesn't really seem like a threat regardless of how smoothly I played the promotion. FM2020 is very forgiving...last year my team said fighting to stay up was unrealistic and we ended up winning the playoffs. Who knew praising training could take a football team so far. Also, never knew about senior affiliates thanks m8
Have you noticed that praising individual training, or criticising it improve players' work rate particularly?
I play fm19, and i'm crazy about training. And after a few seasons, i've noticed that once in a while (3-4 months) some attributes go up immediately after the praise or criticism, especially work rate. I'm in the 10th season, and some players improved their work rate significantly.
@@prsprsfull some stats are probably not influenced by the training schedule and perhaps work rate etc. have a naturally high base growth to compensate therefore more effected by praising which might increase the overall multiplier. I have no idea though :^)
That intro just summarized Norwich’s existence
this video would’ve been useful if my Romanian side didn’t concede in the 120+3 min in the promotion playoff game :(
That hurts man. Did you get promoted.? It's been 2 years now.
Yo i just got macclesfield town promoted to the premier league just by loaning player from manchester united and liverpool for 6 season straight lol
Ok
easiest way to go up!
Did that with Salford ended up loaning James Garner for about 3-4 seasons
Bruh i play as AFC Totton (8th leauge) and got Southampton as a patron club... and they refuse to loan anyone plus i cant even loan anyone half of the time, think it has to do something with the fact my club is barely semipro and most of my players have temporary contracts...
BUT they allow me to use their youth facilities and training objects... so im an 8th leauge team with "fantastic" and "good" facilities traits while everyone from my leauge and like 3 leauges above has them as "poor" lmao
@@aw2584 I'm pretty a Premier League team wouldn't have a single players whose current ability is only good enough for the 8th league of England 😂 No wonder they wouldn't loan you any players mate! That would so unrealistic if they did
Put the second channel on Featured Channels Zealand/Reece!
Do the same to both channels.
Hey Zealand! I used to live and work in the city Llaneros are from, met my wife there - went to see them play a few times too. Very open stadium, hot as hell!
Currently 10 years in the future with Cheltenham in England. Battled from 4th tier up to the 1st through playoffs with each promotion. 5th year in the Prem and defending champion of both English Cups. Your videos have given me plenty of motivation to keep going. Also great to learn from a fellow American!
Wow after a whole season and relegation and he still hadn't dried
He was wet again from all the crying
Reminds me of my Triestina save were I went from Serie C straight to Serie A and then got completely destroyed until I managed to safe me so narrowly in the last three marches and even got 15th. So always believe in it!!
I have 0€ transfer budget and 16k€ a weekly salary budget in german tier 3 while other teams pay 10k a week for a single player. It is rough..
As person who lives in a timezone, where your stream starts at 1am, I'm pretty keen for this new channel.
When I was doing my Beira Mar going from 3rd to Primeira Liga, I started my first season with 2 1st Team players and a home grown substitute keeper. That was it. I had to loan in everybody else, because my wage budget, after reallocating all my transfer budget, was still a third of the second to last team.
That's rough for team cohesion. I also got promoted back to back in Portugal with Trofense, but somehow my board could afford a few decent free signings. I still find that loaning from Porto, Benfica and Sporting, as well as a cheeky brazilian here or there is step #1 to success in Primeira Liga, though.
Strangest Promotion I had was from Bundesliga 2 to Bundesliga. No money, bad team, managed to somewhat turn it around after the 2nd transfer window. Got out of relegation into relegation playoff, and managed to stay up. Although I placed 16th, I managed to win the DFB-Pokal against Borussia Dortmund, who won the Bundesliga. Strange game, won 0-2. Did have rather lucky draws, but it is insane to almost get relegated and then win the DFB-Pokal against the league champion.
I like getting young players with good potential for my first team so that as our team gets promoted the players develop to meet the challenge, helps to keep a winning formula rather than making drastic changes to try and improve
Your intros are always top notch Zealand.
I like to play with promotion pushing Championship teams (Reading for example) and one thing I like to do is get promoted, get a small amount of talent, pot the money, and go back down. Cash in the parachute payments, develop the talents, get promoted again. In FM 19, I somehow used this to make Leeds the richest club in the world after 20 seasons.
Just like you, Z, I took 3 seasons to get out of the Portuguese 3rd tier because there is no champion, just promoted teams. Then the second flight was a wrap and here I am in my 4th season in the Liga NOS and in the champions league playoffs for the second year running
It took me decades of therapy to rid myself of Imposter Syndrome only to have it come roaring back after I took St Pauli to the Bundesliga.
Another awesome video Zea! The save I'm doing has been crazy on so many levels, I took over Palermo (because I freakin love Italian football), promoted them 2 times (2 champ titles) until we got stuck a year in the Serie B. Even being in Serie B money doesn't flow like water (had to sell one star player) because money wasn't enough. It's difficult because I needed two years to get to Serie A (did not win the Serie B though). After that we got 52 million in tv rights (over a year) and financially the team just got healthier each month, until Juventus came calling on my 5th year (I left Palermo on 17th place). It's my chance to win a Serie A title and something in Europe so I couldn't say no. But it's been my longest save in more then 15 years, its been crazy but it is keeping me hooked (even in my 6th year). After winning everything I will probably resign and go back to Palermo. At least that's my plan.
This was me! i won the play offs to get chester into the premier league then ended up with 14 points and just 3 wins. i took it on the chin and am using the money to build infrastructure and a squad with potential. We were set up to fail though, even going 50k a week over budget on wages, my wages were a third of the next lowest and 15 times less than man city. im confident of doing well in the championship and kicking on. 41m parachute payment helps
Hey Z, there is a saying: easier sayed than done :D I am struggling every time (in like 20 saves, same club) to stay up and play SOME football, after promotion, wiining the league, the cup and the SuperCup, after that everything goes down, with more or less same players, good ratings, twicks in tactics and whatnot ..... they just dont play at the same level anymore, every time, i start again, try to see where and what i am doing wrong .... same things happening ...... maybe 1 day you will help me save my save ?! or you, kind sir, do a streaming save with my team, and have your saying about it ;). Keep up the tremendous job your doing. Good health, long life :D
Man did you read my mind? I needed this video so bad after getting clapped so badly in the first leg of Spanish Second Division
What team you currently managing? I’m managing Coruña and my first year I’ve won the second league , second year placed 4th in la liga, now in my 3rd year I’m a contender for the champions league again
Loved the intro. Brilliant
I have taken Forest Green from League two in England into the Prem, which i have just confirmed my 3rd season in a row in the Premier league. Certainly hasn't been easy, but i focused on getting free transfers for my team whilst getting the board to improve our facilities e.g stadium, youth etc.
I've just finished a season where I've taken Chelmsford City on back to back promotions (starting in Vanarama South) all the way to the Premier League. It took me 5 seasons in the league but I've finally won the the top league! Pro tip for Vanarama South, sign Jamie Gray. He hit 30+ in all competitions in Vanarama South and Vanarama National. He was even scoring in the Championship.
yeah its super cool when you get good striker in lower leagues and he still scores after promotions
@@mateyv I think his record was 108 in 128 games. He missed almost an entire season so would have been higher.
i signed jamie gray in tier 8 and he had a 50 goal season in tier 7. stayed with me until national league. legendary player
@@shurupack The guy is a legend. I was so sad when I let him go because he wasn't good enough any more
Just made it from Liga 3 to Bundesliga with TSV Munchen in 3 seasons. We only made promotion by a hair both times and we definitely do not have the quality for this league, but the Sicilian Defense has been our wings. We are currently hanging in there at 12th after 10 matches.
I am managing them too! Who did you sign?
@@dertatar6951 I never had much money, so I could never change much, but my biggest signings were probably Luka Ilic at SS, Benjamin Uphoff in goal, and Ben Pearson from Preston at DM.
Quirin Moll, Fabian Greilinger, and Leon Klassen ended up being useful players for quite a while.
@@atomzero1 thanks! I like greilinger and klassen too
Finally! Congrats and greetings from Colombia 😁
JESUSSS just the video I needed, save me a whole day of thinking
I can see Zealand really had fun doing the Intro
I always struggle more in tier 3 than in tier 2 or tier 1: this year for example I struggled from 5 years in serie C with Turris Santa Croce (a tier 8th Italian football club) and I stayed like only 2 years in Serie B... Same thing happened last year with Eastleight.
Good timing because I'm top of the Championship in a Leeds save right now.
Leeds core team is good enough for prem. Just get a good winger, striker and CB
Welcome to the promise land. Enjoy the 70m transfer budget.
I just about to get promoted with Bristol City too! I had to do it in my second season because I started as a free agent and joined late though. It's always weirdly intimating seeing so much in the bank account. Like, where do I begin on strengthening the team?
@@BarkingMadHD Improve your defense first. All the best teams have a good defense
@@cianomugzy975 I haven't even finished the season yet. However, I have picked up Sergio Díaz for free for the next season. I plan on converting him into a Trequartista in the left AM position. I need a new right wing back now
Going straight up twice with Burton Albion, finished 14th in the first season in the prem. With less than half the wage budget of the 19th team.
Tv deals money coming up to buy the 18 years old Greek forward that will go to Man City for an insane amount of money
I once got comfortably (after 2/3 of the season where I struggled a bit) promoted in first place with Sheffield Wednesday in my first season (FM19). My squad was kinda old, and HUGELY overpriced (Imo). I'm a bargain hunter, and man, there were so many bargains... Ended up overhauling my squad (starting 11 in the Championship consisted of 5 loanees), Zagadou for 5M, Van de Beek for 3.2M, Andreas Poulsen for 4M, Grealish for 15M... Etc etc. Ended up making my goal to not spend a single pound in the transfer market (although wage budget got a lot bigger), and made a squad full of promising players that I thought could fit my system (as long as they were less than 5-6M, usually). If I was to get relegated, I wanted a future for the club, with promising players whom could be sold for big bucks, trying to not have a transfer deficit if relegation came (like Fulham did IRL) and other players that could stay for future squads. Ended up finishing 7th, Zagadou was a holy beast, Van de Beek replaced Barry Bannan really well, Poulsen(3.8M) did okay, and had a good backup in Toni Lato (1.2M), Toljan(5.5M) went really well after 6 months, Kishna (0$) was a HUGE surprise, and Grealish wasn't great, but sure wasn't bad (Other Starting11 players were Tom Lees and Joe Wildsmith, whom were already there, and McTominay on another season loan at my club). Then my college semester begun and I deleted the save cuz I was kinda addicted. So I really think that's an okay strat (I really thought it was a good idea, but that's just WITH ENGLAND'S PREMIER LEAGUE) , cuz if everything goes wrong, you're a rich, full of promising players championship side, with money to spend.
Oh and Wednesday weren't financially great in the Championship, so this is why I wanted to be a bit frugal as well
Also: if you're somewhat financially unstable but are likely to get promoted, watch out with huge loan increases after promotion. This nearly got to me bankrupt once my Crewe save got to league 1 but the max salaries were bound to the leagues average..
Got promoted in my first season, and first ever FM save, (humble brag) via the playoffs with Birmingham (an absolute fluke, I've never celebrated so much in my life). I'm only 6 games into the Premier League but our record is W2D3L1, despite having a Championship level squad (except for on loan Curtis Jones who is scoring bangers in every game), and not having last season's top scorer Scott Hogan. Birmingham's finances are terrible to begin with but TV money looks to be a massive boost (pretty sure our overall balance was negative at one point), and these tips will help to hopefully keep us up. COYB
Got promoted into the Scottish Premiership today and I am currently a mid table side around halfway through the season. I think the best tip for me was to not make too many signings. Because I only made 3 big signings, I kept up my team cohesion and locker room atmsophere
My custom made team is the first club from Essex (county in England) to get into the premier league.
I believe it might be the first time a team from this county has ever been in the top tier in England ever. Aaaaand we’re the senior affiliate for a lot of clubs (we’re not the normal fairytale)
Just when you said “You need to make some changes” I got a Health ad about covid that started by saying “We’ve all had to make changes”.
I got promoted with Gloucester City from League 2 to League 1 after couple years, then unexpectedly from League 1 to Championship, then unexpectedly from Championship to Premier League. Just finished the first season like 12nd, which was amazing. I was almost in euro contention the first half of the season but second half absolutely whooped me. Thank FM gods for the Balkans and Scandinavia
i don't even play football manager but i really like your videos
Got promoted with coventry city to the premier league. first season 7th place. After that my team struggled for 2 seasons with the amount of matches I was giving due to europe. I am now in my 4th season in top flight and fighting for 2-6 in the league. Big tip - hold your academy
Yay now I can keep Nottingham forest in the prem
I'm getting shafted by the Birmingham board won't let me sign any players and they started me off with a league 1 player on 30k a week
@@khalifomar1845 rip
@@khalifomar1845 I'm doing a Birmingham save too, and the finances are really bad to begin with, but I got promoted via the playoffs and was given a £35m transfer budget even though the overall balance was like £3m
They’ve just got promoted with me in my save to the prem via the play offs, me and them were basically playing second fiddle to major money Newcastle led by Deschamps
@@calumas How tf did you get promoted with Scott hogan up front. I was top of the league and now I dropped to 3 points off 7th
I got promoted consecutively from 3rd Turkish league to the top flight. One championship and one promotion trough playoff Idk what the the hell I did but I'm blown out by the Money by winning money in the league
I got three promotions in a row with Bradford City and am now in the Premier League. My Senior Affiliate was Liverpool and that helped me a lot throughout these 3 years. However once you reach the Premier League you will lose this advantage. If your team relies to much on loan players the promotion can be very very difficult. Consider this as a warning to players with the same tactic. At this moment our position is 19 and had some seriously bad luck with some of our direct competitors in the latest games.
Absolut legend. Thanks, Z
Can someone explain the sky bet championship I can't see the prize money and I'm playing as Bolton so we broke af and Sharon Britan is trying to sell our club
In my very first season of my very first playthrough with Darlington FC I lost the playoff final. That was the last league defeat in 62 games! Promoted undefeated from Vanarama North and eventually lost in round 16 against a team called Dorking. Figures.
Great timing, I just got promoted with Eastleigh to league one. So I am really looking forward to the tips
hey dude i found you just 1 week go and i loved your content keep it up!
Barely made it past relegation with Bath City in my first season in the Prem after 8 years from the national league. Managed to scrape 15th place and it was smooth sailing from then on.
got york promoted to the prem in 6 years but now im super struggling in the prem in the first year
I got a flook promoter with Nottingham Forrest and I came straight here
I’ve been having lots of fun with Spezia in the Srie B. Give it a shot
Got promoted with Nottingham Forest in my first season only player I brought in was Brewster on loan. First season in the PL, brought Brewster back on loan, Ollie Watkins, Ruben Blanco and Pol Lonch. Not the biggest of signings, but I’m 7th.
I got promoted with Rayo Vallecano and somehow finsihed 3rd in LaLiga in front of Real and Valencia. I just signed free agents and loaned guys though.
Needed this because I am brand new to the game and got promotion with Sunderland to the championship my first season. And between finding a couple good signings and a great tactic for my squad, I am looking at promotion again. And quite significantly. I am about 13 points ahead with about 12 games left and I just took down a decent premier league squad in the FA cup 4-0... with my two star backup goalie Anthony Patterson. I also beat Man City in the Carabao Cub before getting crushed by Arsenal in the next round. I've been panicking about how the hell I am going to manage in a league where single players make more per year, I guess some make actually like two or three times more per year, than my entire squad.
This is my first time playing more than half a season. I have no wonderkids. My coaching staff is small and so is my scouting staff. And none of my staff are great. So yeah I guess this will be interesting.
Got promoted twice in a row from VNS to the League 2 using a created team. Got most of my main players sold out because of the gap in reputation and the ones that I did reject offers for got unhappy at me and ruined the team dynamics. Stayed up barely though thankfully.
Picked up FM after three years and decided to give St. Pauli a crack. Won the 2. BuLi by scraping results and thought I would get trounced after promotion - but focused on the Team Cohesion side of things. Kept morale as high as I could, kept the important guys onside, and aside from one big (350k) transfer for the first team, brought Jones (again), Brewster and Hoever in from Liverpool on loan. Shipped off all the unhappy fringers on loan and... Voila. Won the Bundesliga as well, with just a single loss to Leipzig all season. Team Cohesion is huuuuuge.
I somehow managed to get Bolton back into the Prem despite being predicted to be 23rd at the start of season. I may need this to have a chance of staying up
i am on my fleetwood save, just got promoted to premier, and struggling to keep above relgation... :/ also the foreigners rules on england man... :/ very helfull video too... all great tips... trying my best to stay up... :D Also from an older scouting video, MAN AFRICA IS A GOLDMINE... :D
I got promoted with Würzburger Kickers to the Bundesliga in Season 3 :-) Hope to stay there!
I know I am ready to get promoted when I can more often than not beat a team 2 leagues higher than mine, I shoot for 40-50% win rate, because you can improve when you get there even more. When I say, I am not ready, it means if I am losing to Champions League teams whilst in Sky Bet 2, but I am in the playoffs, I will put a player in net and my goalie as striker, not too many goalies end up with 10 goals, but one of mine did, we even won a game like that, so I also had to put all my 18 year olds instead of my first team because in the game I won, we kept the opponent to 0 shots.
Hey, I just took Doncaster from league 1 to the championship and the board gave me 110k transfer budget and currently have 500k balance. Liverpool are my senior affiliate . I will be following your steps here trying to keep the dynamic good and get in atleast 2 experienced players then some loans from senior affiliate. pray for me .
Welp, after being mostly trash as a coach, and forced to languish in Wales for a few seasons, I stumbled into a job in Vanarama South, and took 15-1 prediction Tonbridge to the 2027 title!!

Easy. Don't promote in the first place.. pointing-finger-at-head-image
Got promoted to the championship with Plymouth argyl. Last game of the season I won and got into playoffs on goal difference. Somehow fluked it and won promotion!! Will find the step up difficult as the board was asking to fight against relegation that season I got promoted…
it is kinda late, but i just got promoted to the prem with wycombe in my first season without making any signings in the championship. i basically promoted a league one side to the prem. now the odds to go back down are 1001, while the 19th Brentford got 201 odds. mission impossible because anyone who is actually good isn't even remotely interested in joining us. sooo wish me luck.

I took Bath up to the National League and somehow with the addition of three players I'm expected to win the National League upon promotion. I'm five games into the season and have yet to drop points, but I just had the injury bug bite hard, 4 of my 5 best players are out for at least 2 months.
I just started my next sesaon looking to make playoffs (club wants just top half finish) this time and win them so hopefully I will be referring to this video sooner rather than later.
No exaggeration, this video autoplayed after a different Zealand video about 3 mins after my promotion with Schalke was confirmed.
Im playing right now with Lupa Roma in Serie B and ive let me count 14 (fourteen) ! players on loan.
I also dont like that i have so many players on loan, but i have no other choice.
There are so many talented players with low wages that i have to do it.

4th season / 1st season in the Championship after 27 matches currently on 21st position with 3point gap ahead of relegation with 6W 7D 14L in january I spend rly alot thaks to Clause sell of Ethan Empedou for 10m xD that will probably made me to stay up since I have 7 points in last 5 games after like 7 defeats so the changes are visable
So i just tried to get a bigger affiliate to make money but the board who were looking for the affiliate Dident find any BUT THEY AGREE IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDÉ 😭
Why They dont fiind any??
Depends on the reputation of the league, your team and that countries youth rating/usefulness to other sides. I managed in the northern irish league for my save and they'll never find one, I got my team to 5 star rating and by that stage your team is then too big to have a senior affiliate but until then the league simply isn't good enough to benefit anyone else. It sucks I try and get junior affiliate in places like the U.S. or Aus not sure if it actually helps.
Captain McClutch swedish second league 🤣😭
My first promotion, I hired a bunch of players for free, played the most boring way for one season and at the end I barely saved myself with a new draw record in the league
In my first season I was managing a team in the national league north and beat a league one team 2-1
Got promoted with Luton have quite a few league 1 and 2 standard of players... we have to now play at millwalls ground cause ours isnt good enough im fucked
Need players? Look at the regens at these clubs: Atletico Nacional, Deportivo Cali,Junior...and the best club that produce wonderkids in Colombia: Envigado Fc.
has it ever occurred to you that some club has asked you to be his "affilitate"?
