My brother is intelectually disabled, he is 32 years old but behaves like 5 or 7. He grew up watching me play Championship Manager and wanted to play himself but struggled with all the finances, tactics, squad management, etc. So I taught him how to add a new manager to the next opposition, move the goalkeeper out of position or put a field player on goal and voilá. He became succesful and enjoyed the game ever since. He still plays the 03/04 game and refuses to try new versions due to their complexity. Some might say he is cheating but all I care is that he is having fun watching his teams win 34 - 0. And that's all I care. Great videos, keep up the good work!
To be honest I don't know how people either new to Football or new to the Football Manager series even manage to enjoy playing as there are so many options and little things that could stop a team being successful. I've played since early Championship Manager (even remember one early version that was just the Italian league). If I hadn't played most year's versions though and just jumped straight in then I would be confused as anything so I understand why someone would enjoy Championship Manager more regardless of if they are mentally disabled or not as it's a lot more simplified. As you say, the main thing is your brother enjoying the game though and really if any manager had the power to move the goalkeeper out of position and ruin the other teams tactics when they played them they would so your brother is making some rational decisions if you think of it like that.
Grealish is pronounced - Gray-lish - Irish name, he played for Ireland until he switched over to the old enemy, it's every British commentator and pundit pronouncing his name wrong - like many Irish names, such as Gallagher, pronounced Gall-ah-her, (g is silent) and Cahill, pronounced Cah-hill, emphasis on ah, as an Irish man hearing the British sports media butcher Irish names is like nails on a chalkboard, love the channel by the way, great stuff 👍
Feel like Big Sam has become, somewhat unfairly, synonymous with playing route one football. Plus, lets not forget Leicester won the league launching hoofs over the defense for Vardy to run onto.
Wasting time for me is useful during the parts of the season where we are playing 2-3 games a week. It seems to help manage fatigue better than having them constantly running end to end.
For the match engine, I would agree with you, especially at a professional level it shouldn't happen at all, except, it does sometimes because humans are crazy stupid and ineffective with their brains and at this level, a moment of hesitation, a moment of doubt, a moment of uncertainty actually does mean that this happens. Especially when it's a pre-season game that no one cares about. So it's frustrating but not totally unrealistic
I manage all my friendlies! The AI is notoriously bad at ensuring all the players get match sharpness etc. Plus good team talks to up morale. So I always manage them. This will improve your performance.
So when I finally win the EuroMillions and decide to buy my local football team, I'm definitely going to hire Zealand as my general manager, or at least lead data manager...
i've managed every single friendly match of every save I've ever done on any CM or FM game. since 1997😂😂i had no idea i was a psychopath loool. maybe I'll trust my assistants from now on haha.
Yeah I did British steel challenge won league and CL with Leicester after 6 years. It's a fun challenge but frustrating as hell when for once you get good youth intake players but there Portuguese so have to let them go.
Right I don't quite understand the Allardyce bashing. Plenty of relentless passing tactics are dull af. He simply wants to be the most pragmatic and efficient at getting results. Have we not all thought along that mindset at some point playing FM?
"Only Psychopaths manage all their friendlies..." Emm so what do you call the person who for some weird game/database reason also has to manage and watch all their U23 and U18 games too? That's right for some unknown reason in my save despite having staff hired and set in the responsibilities section, the game is making me handle every single match day for the U23s and the U18s, this is making playing one season take about an eternity.
These set piece tactics are borderline cheating like the old corner tactic in fm13. Not convinced Zealand is that good on this game either without using those.
Ollie roleplaying Brexit football perfectly: don't look at whether the player is injured, attempt to force through a deal, then complain that it's the board sabotaging you when things go predictably wrong
never in my entire life would i ever expected to see this crossover
I am just as shocked as you my man
Literally(I got the reply for this year)
He's throwing a water bottle at his players in a FRIENDLY 🤣🤣
Typical Ollie
Assert Dominance. If they think you're crazy, they won't step out of line.
the whole point of the save is aggression

As soon as Ollie starts talking about Zealand.
*Ego Expanding*
This is the collab of dreams, thank you ChrisMD
It’s a more kinda joke series compared to the normal fm save. Going against the norm Ollie. We love it. Rule Britannia
Brexit is no joke. Only the mighty english👊💪🏻🍺🍺
@@MichaelJones456 Only the mighty english... shoot themselves in the foot and call it a perfect hit.
ChrisMD, Ollie and Zealand? This is crossover
Zealand teaching Ollie the difference between Foster and Forster
Ollie: So the Aussie Beer plays for Watford right?
Zealand: (double face palm)
I can't lie, that long throws tactic it OP. Thank you Zealand
(The face he pulls at 10:29 knows it too)
I can't be the only one that just learned about match review... Right?
You dragged me out of depression with this video somehow

@@radiusone216 Thank you for understanding
A yank teaching a brit about football, never thought I'd see the day
This is an iconic duo 😂
10:58 Look up a You Tube compilation of all Stoke's goals from Rory Delap throw ins Zealand, you will see many worse real life atrocities than that...
He actually threw it 60 yards into the net once because the defenders and goalkeeper missed it. No goal as per the rules.
I feel personally attacked by this amount of luck.
OH MY, THE CROSSOVER I DIDN’T KNOW I NEEDED
Can't believe i'm watching a 100% ironic FM series being critiqued
Roster building ideas: Ollie is worse than Arteta
Tactics: This guy makes Arteta look like a beer league manager.
Arteta is good now
This feels very Mike Bassett "Four four fucking two"
Long throws was literally the corner stone of the most legendary brexit teams ever
2010-2013 Pulis Stoke City
Zealand is now two contacts away from the sidemen
I'm a simple man, Zealand uploads a video. I watch the video.
I didn't expect a very fun collaboration with Ollie. As he played this game very well but oh boy did he just managing friendlies.
This is the crossover we deserve
I knew who Ollie was because of ChrisMD, never knew he played FM 😂 brexitball looks like a fun time though
Id love to see an online save with these 2
Zealand you are the best RUclipsr ❤️

Some of Big Sam's teams have played fairly slick counter-attacking football, especially when there's no big lump upfront to punt it at.

Realising that Ollie has more subscribers than Zealand 😂
I think 4-4-2 direct is the best counter to the gegenpress tactics, so it should work very well in the premier league
how are you gonna press a team that hates having the ball?

New to the channel, love the videos Zealand!
I’m not sure if Zealand understood the sarcasm 🤣
Zealand, you are hilarious!
this crossover is more ambitious than avengers endgame
I'd love to see you review the start of one of Doctor Benjy's seasons
The beer reactions has me rolling.
So when I finally win the EuroMillions and decide to buy my local football team, I'm definitely going to hire Zealand as my general manager, or at least lead data manager...
I know why he brought Foster because he has a crate of Fosters before researching who the hell Frazer Forster was!
Think you took this abit to seriously 😂😂
I was drinking a beer at 11 am who knows
9:35 for the longest time I thought they had the same last name. I could have sworn. Definitely the "Mandela Effect" conspiracy theory at work.
tbf I signed David alaba thinking it was alphonso davies
He would have tore up the Vanarama North with those tactics.
It's interesting that a "Brexit" Team is only english players. Shows a lot.
Scotland and Northern Ireland voted against leaving, but he could have had a token Welshman in there.
guess what country west ham are from
@@lewismoffat918 isn't west ham from London?
I suspect that’s very deliberate.
You may have realised by now... That's the point
Thought it was Ollie Ball for a minute
So if I manage west ham, I can drink whenever I like?
Gotta love Zealand
Love that you have no idea who ChrisMD is. Don’t get caught up the RUclips personality nonsense just stay good at what you do.
Honestly surprised he is the only defensive/anti-football series maker on RUclips.

Please do a part 2
But everyone in england has healthcare

Haha, I do manage all my friendlies xD
1 Out of 10 for Ollie's Top
And the only time to wear that Hat is if you're extremely drunk!
7:50 yup.. Still not fixed in Fm22.. You know it better zee....
Rory delap is proud😂😂
do mark goldbrige next!
7:12 TIL I'm a psychopath...
Ollie needs to adjust his roles to the players he has, or he's going to get rekt.

How do you not know who Chris MD is
Did you not establish that it’s a joke?
Init😂
What do u meeeeean i play all my friendlies to refine the tactic and make sure its good enough to use or to make any tweaks
ABOUT A WEEK AGO, WEEKAGOOOOOO
Pls become FM's Pokemon Challenges
At this point I think Zealand is more English than Ollie
ChrisMD's cousin
Phil Jones... my God.
Foster - Forester - Friggin English names sound all the same!
Ollie in streamer showdown??
Omg i watched his orignial brexit fc series
These set piece tactics are borderline cheating like the old corner tactic in fm13.

Do ya want relish with ya Grelish?
4:38 hahahaha
Is that Chris md cousin
How has this happened
ABOUT A WEEK AGOOOOO
How tf did he made that throw?
his voice does not fit with his body.. its just me feeling that?
I manage all my friendlies... :(
Its Florida bruh, drink whenever you feel like it
Too bad those long throws don’t really work anymore.....
he knows more mr Z than he’s letting on
How is big Sam anti football?
Ollie roleplaying Brexit football perfectly: don't look at whether the player is injured, attempt to force through a deal, then complain that it's the board sabotaging you when things go predictably wrong
Also Foster/Forster just as easy to get mixed up as European Union/European Court of Human Rights
