5 FOOTBALL MANAGER TIPS YOU NEED TO KNOW! 

One thing tangentially related to the first point. Whether your tactic is considered fluid, structured, very fluid, etc. is based entirely on the mentality of your roles (I.e. attack, support and defence). Generally speaking, more support duties = more fluid. The role doesn’t matter, a BWM on support will contribute the same amount to fluidity as an AP on support will, despite their being completely juxtaposed midfield roles. A more attacking team mentality will also require fewer and fewer support roles to be considered fluid. But, your players have individual mentalities, which you can see by clicking on them and going to the personal section on your tactic. An attacking team mentality will essentially make every support duty player have a highly attacking mentality.

When changing playing time staus, its good to take the discuss option. Tell the player you are changing the playing time because there's a lot of competition in your position 😉. Works almost every time, plus the occasional time it doesn't you just back down. No harm done.

Great tips, I’m definitely guilty of not changing contract renewals to start end of season as I’m normally in autopilot. Changing the players playing time is a great way to keep players happy before they come to you complaining, I usually go to player overview, happiness and then playing time, you can then see all options in a list and select each one, once you get too low you get the same message warning you a player may become unhappy, this way you can set a players playing time usually lower then expected most times, makes them delighted when they play more than expected.

Your videos are quality. Think I've liked about ten in a row. Some longer format videos would be good. An hour long one on traits would be welcome.

Good video and good tips. One point on the final tip, if you select “End of Season” for the start date, you effectively gain an extra year. When a 2 or 3 year contract starts in January or February, the first year runs until the end of the season, then the second year starts. My other preference is to include an “Optimal Year by Club” especially for young players.

Thanks for the consistent quality! Respect 👍

Also for the 2nd tip keep an eye on fatigue

Thank you for the tips. How do I get the "agreed time warning" back? :)

It would be great to see a video on balancing budgets. I am always under the wage budget but the expenses keep going up. I monitor the scouting expenses closely, and handle all the assignments and I keep the shortlists from being always updated but I find that the budget is still way off.
