Saving a Save I Already Saved 

For the first guy, people often overlook Community Outreach, and foreign friendlies as a way of expanding your team's international reputation.

"I got suited and booted up for the boys on Discord, and we lost 4-0" must be the most FM sentence I have ever heard

This is a great idea. You should do what Gordon Ramsay does in Kitchen Nightmares where he goes back a few months later to see if things changed

Guy managed U20 Ghana, I'm not sure whether this is mental or genius

EVERY TEAM, EVERY YEAR is in danger to be relegated from the 2. Bundesliga IRL. They also ALL have hopes to get up to Bundesliga. That league is ridiculously level every season.

Z saying about the german league "make as much debt as you can to go up" I can already see german football fans starting to riot infront of Z's house

This should definitely be the format going forward, I like they have the ability to ask follow up questions etc

The first guy should try to put a "profit from next sale" clause. He could get easly 20-30M selling the clause

Overpromising on players is a good strategy. You can always lower their playing time later, and if you do this when the coaching meeting prompts you to, you typically get either no response or a resolvable chat

The game should be called Reputation Manager. Reputation is the single most important thing in this game.

The last guy has potential to be a streamer, i found him really entertaining and endearing

Still my favorite segment. Bundesliga a bit weird. Lots of money but you never feel rich with the TV money.

"Plătică" is pluh-TEE-cuh. Romanian/Moldovan spelling rules work just like Italian, aside from the special characters (ă = "uh", â/î is a sound that doesn't exist in English but it's similar to the "e" in "roses", ș = "sh", ț = "ts"). Emphasis is usually on the second-to-last syllable if it's a name of Romanian origin. The only other exception is that "i" usually isn't pronounced at the end of words (it works like the soft sign in Russian).

10:18 Holy mother of god, today is the day Zealand advocated against (too many) loans!

im so happy to hear you say the potential stars this year are a bit less accurate, Ive had so many 5 star potential 18 year olds that have seemed quality and now at 21 theyre apparently worth 30mil but I cant even sell them for 3

Ah, yes, Zealand getting his comment section raided by pornbots.

6:57 the guy's personality is "Mercenary". No chance he was ever gonna accept less than what was promised to him.

The main thing that i would say to the first guy is understanding that when you manage in such low reputation leagues, You are responsible for the whole of it. You need to make the other teams a lot stronger by loaning your players out to them and making them better. You need to build the nation. Second Yellow Card is a great channel to watch and learn from.

We need that last guy on for a 3rd, 4th, and 5th time.

It’s the Den Bosch guy. AGAIN. So we’ve got a 34 year old Jeremie frimpong on a free for £700 p/w. Next season is where we cook I promise. 1 day lads 1 day

11:30 Shanu my man, if you still have Tobias Sippel, Benedikt Saller, Oumar Diakhité, André Hahn and Marvin Ajani in your squad, in 2025 may I add, you kinda deserve to be in a relegation dogfight.

Facing simialr issues to the first guy in my Andorra build a nation. Sell on clauses are your best friend. I always lock in 40% of next sale whenever the decision isn't taken out of my hands by the board.

Zealand: Potential Ability is LYING to you Also Zealand: just sort by PA

The hack for getting players who want to be a star player etc to accept playing less is to reduce their playing time 1 place (Star Player to Important Player, Regular Starter to Squad Player etc) and when they complain you use th "I just dont think you're quite ready for that much playing time" option and they are cool with it 95% of the time. Do that 2 times over the course of a season, and you're sorted.

The guy with the Den Bosch shirt in the background brilliant shirt.

I had the same problem as the second guy in my fm22 save. I took my home town club Eintracht Trier from the Oberliga (5th tier of german football) all the way up to the 2.Bundesliga in only 5 years. Ive felt like my squad was really weak because I got promoted so early but I was able to reach place 14 in my first season there with only some small changes in my team. But after a bigger budget and a bad start in the second season I panicked and made too many changes and signed to many players so everything went down. I finished the season as dead last and this was my first and only time I got sacked. But in general the 2.Bundeslga is very competitive and in my opinion it is the best second league in the world. There are always some huge clubs with a big budget and an even bigger reputation. But you should still be able to compete against these teams with your freshly promoted third league side, so dont panic and dont make the same mistakes like I did.

You should do a SAS spinoff where catch-up for past SAS participants

Not getting attached to your players is harder than it sounds, but watching these videos has helped me lol. I sold a my striker called Henrik Bek Hensen, 29yr-old, winner of the last 3 ballon d'ors, to Real Madrid for €109M. He was in his final year and I was tempted to renew his contract like I always do. I already spend a ridiculous amount of money and he wanted to dpuble his wages. Sold him and freed up space to a guy called Michal Hudak, who is 21, better and I got for free lol Pissed my goalkeeper in the process, but he will be shown the door soon lol

I'm honestly devastated that I just got fired on a steady rise with St. Pauli. I led them to the Euro League in the second season, finished 3. only behind Bayern and Leipzig back to back and then got fired on a losing streak 10 games in the season.

He didn't yell the "next!!" That was the funniest part of the videos

More SYS videos pleaseeee. They are so fun and helpful. Definitely my favourite type of video you are making (nevertheless, other ones are also great)

I have no idea why these saves don’t just absolutely tank scouting South America - excluding Brazil - there’s so many wonder kids you can get for 5-6 million from Argentina who will be superb and then add in Columbia/Uruguay

I’m playing my den Bosch save while playing this

14:29 Waldhof Mannheim mentioned 🔵⚫️ AUUUF LONGA AUUUF

About halfway through the video I realised the get lucky instrumental was playing and after that I didn’t hear a single word that was said, was judging vibing

Really enjoyed this as a 65 year old blyth Spartans fm 24 manager😊

BRZ and FRS are different because BRZ is the only car ever produced that is capable of running on Gibbity Goo Gas from factory.

25:42 this is a great young full back to have. He’s got every attribute needed to succeed. People need to realise that full backs require mocha less technical attributes than other players. Physically good. Mentally great. Technically has decent tackling and positioning and good crossing for a full back. Also good touch. For the position he’s in with his club, he’s a superstar. Zealand is blind.

"Be Brighton" Common Zealand W 😎

4:23 Since Romania and Moldova both speak Romanian and I'm Romanian, I can confirm the a's with hats (that's what we call them for fun here) are pronounced like uh. So his name is pronounced roughly as Pah-vel Pluh-tee-cuh.

The leap from 3. Liga to Bundesliga 2 in Germany is NOT 'going from one bad league to another'. Some of the old giants of German Football are lurking in the second division like Hamburg, Kaiserslautern (with their 50,000 crowds), Schalke, Nurnburg and Hertha. Coming from a league like the 3.Liga with Munich 1860, a few B Teams and semi -professional clubs is a massive gap to those other teams I mentioned.

Simmilar to irl the german 2nd league is actually very close and a short bad form can ruin your season.

Random but a theme i get from SYS this year is that I notice mentions of a lot of players I signed myself in my saves but they're nowhere near as good in other people's saves

2:10 "six million pound offer" while the screen shows it's a lot more damning than than. 6M dollars.

1:47 disrispect the best team in the world

Great idea, you should do this for every SYS you do

I was waiting for it for so long

Currently in my first save at ADO den haag. Third year and we play europaleague. I Think i still need to learn mucht and I have it difficult with transfers. But What is an easy way to scout a wonderkid or good player? What are some good scout instructions?? Thanks for Reading guys :)))

The stars lie. I'm doing a Leicester City Save and in season 23/24. Dennis Praet has only 2.5 current ability yet playing as a simple central midfielder he is a mile ahead of KDH and Ndidi. A tonne of assists and a handful of goals. He is undroppable!

love the interactive concept!

It would be nice to see Zealand help someone who has constantly failed and is in the VNN/VNS or even lower, with no money, is over their wage budget and has upset all their players.

Quick question - Why don’t players values go up once they get promoted? I’m doing a Create a Club save in England and just got promoted to the Prem. I have one of the best players in the league, so much so he’s in the media’s 11 and in the key players part of the Season Preview. But every offer doesn’t go over 20 million. He’s 24 and just came off a 20 goal and 15 assist season. But new players I buy for like 2 million are worth the exact same or even more despite having never played a game. Why is it that a new player who never plus a game can go for more than one of the best players or one of the most influential players in the league?

doing these with the person in a discord call is genius

Hello Zealand, or any of the people looking at this comment right now, I've got a problem, I'm in 2 season of my 1st save on fm, its a Colchester United save, in my 1st season we got promoted through play offs, with the star being an academy graduate, the goalkeeper ted Collins, scoring in the penalty shoot-out, and also saving 4 pens in the penalty shoot out, and also saving one in extra time to keep us in the game, we now find us 18th in league one with only a couple games in, only 2 wins, and I have no money due too the board not giving me much, and not giving me any more, especially my wage budget, I'm stuck with what to do next since I don't have the players I want, or need

I'm not sure if this is common knowledge, but apparently at least a couple of young Argentine players start with less than 6 months on their contract.

SM Chenry is CRAZY

Overall balance never bothers me now because as long as I meet leagues FFP keep doing what you can

First guy, Hafid is mercenary, which mean he will always look for money high ambition low profossenalizm low loyality and you are managing in low reputation league and you sigh him just becasue he is good and you have no place in registration great mate!

i have only 10 of 12 scouts, but i cant find any scouts that are above 15/15/15, an i usual dont go below it. is it better to have two bad scouts than no scouts? im scared to waste money on talents rated by bad scouts that then flop

hey zealand, i know you may not see this, but i play fm, but i am on xbox, and i dont have access to a computer. i find it more difficult to do a successful save on console then it seems to be on computer. any tips on how to make it seem easier or faster on console?

zealand in 2 seasons, i've won the bundesliga, dfb pokal and 2.bundesliga. is that any good?

The first guy is something I've run in to and it feels game breaking. Signing a guy for £5mill, and the board accepting £6mill because to good to turn down, and I'm sure the same player would say the same is ridiculous. It's based on reputation obviously, and the player has made the team's finances outgrow the reputation. But still, I've bought players for 10mill, and they're upset a year later because I won't sell them for £500k. They should have some understanding of the situation. If you think you're good enough to play in a team competiting for the PL/CL titles, then surely you think you're worth more than 500k? Can't have it both ways, you're either good enough to win the PL as a leading player and command a fee of tens of millions, or you're worth 500k and should be playing for Carlisle

First guy is spending way too much on salaries, spending 50k a week on Son when he isn't even registered for European comps is horrible for team in a bad league. His board wouldn't be selling his players if he wasn't spending so much of his Champion's League money on wages.

You just Got a follow love this videos

Have you actually been to the Island "Zealand"😂

My League One Bath FC had 4 strikers better than Didier Guillet....well we're not League One now or that would be a worse reflection on me than on Didier😆

How do I get him to save my save coz my Cardiff one is in the mud 😢

as someone who has managed in Germany, you just need to over perform to get past Bundesliga 2

so for you to be in this video you need to be subscribed to Zealand on twitch, which means you spend actual money to watch him do this exact stuff he talks to you about and then you are UNABLE to do THAT SAME STUFF on your own and you need him to help you on a discord call even tho you are subbed to him which means you watch him play the game? that is actually mental to me

Anyone else wondering why tf frankfurt are in the second division

Zealand, are you aware on there being like no money in the Belgian league? I’m doing an RFC Liege save, I’m 2 million in debt and I presume the only way to make money is getting to CL (I’m a relegation favourite)… what can I do?

Can you please save my Elgin city save. Second season in the premier league and my budget is so small so struggling to compete. Can’t stop conceding no matter what tactic I’m playing

My main advice for the "Hallescher FC" guy to save the save: switch the club. I am in Halle right now and believe me, you dont want to be with this fascist cklub :D

Waldhof Mannheim🟦⬛️

Wher dose he gett save like it dose he have a Discord server??

McCooooteeeey!!!!! 💦❤️

'You have to be Ajax 10 years ago in the Netherlands' uhh they werent even dominant. PSV has been more dominant in this century. For what you mean to say Ajax is a terrible example. Should have said Bayern 5 years ago or Man City now

if you want to pronounce "Plătică", it's pluh-tee-cuh

The line of thought appears to be really logical, and Gary, you're doing a great job of spreading the word. What's the counter argument to this? Basically, what's stopping the government from implementing a wealth tax?

Selling the best player just to get money won't help anything because he can't perform well in big matches. Besides, when will his team even play big matches anyway?

you people watch him play the game, how hard is it to just mimic what he does? how many times can he tell you "scout international tournaments", "sell this guy, he sucks", "hire your staff", "get loans"?? I would understand if you asked questions about the tactics or training or player development but come on... you spend money to subscribe to him, how hard is it to just mimic the basic stuff the does without feeling the need to go on discord and make him sing the loan song for the 249th time?

lol wtf is this comment section

Geographically speaking how is a Central Asian country in UEFA? I don't understand how it's considered Europe

inb4 bots come back with P P I N B I O S E N D M O N E Y posts

Can somone add me to zeland discorf i had a ban

That last guy is amazing, i recognize our accent anywhere. COYW!!!

my parents are gonna buy me fm24 in 2 months im so excited, i've been playing the demo and i keep starting a new save after 6 months in game time

“You need to be Ajax ten years ago in the league” Oh great, so 2nd place?

26:02 Big Weeks

oi zealand. did u see the goal i sent u on twitter. the best bicycle kick goal ive ever seen. u made such a big deal when u were sent one last time. this was better,.

1:39 the bar moves everytime with you my guy , sometimes it's the quarter finals, sometimes the round of 16😂😂😂😂😂😂

I actually figured out, if you talk a lot with the players, always praise/criticise for training, praise good form and performances and son on, you can actually lower their playing time status and they won't get mad at you, if you explain it. I promise them, wahtever is needed, and lower their playing time 6 months later if neccessary, and no one gets upset, cause I talk t them a lot

'Be like Brighton' unfortunately Todd Boehly has been taking your advice.......................👀

Am i the only one that hasn't had the board accept a offer against my will? All they've done to me is block a transfer out because they think they can get more for the player.

Zealand is still denying the Pace meta lol, Mateo Krecak with 17/17 pac acc is easily good enough to win the champions league with, but according to zealand 'not good enough'

at least have one guy from kazakhstan, c'mon.

No loans, I don't loan IRL and I certainly don't loan in FM

1:58

Just got my 2nd consecutive promotion with Wrexham and now things are really heating up. I may need another season to maybe be able to get a promotion to be with the "top dogs". It's a fun save to play with Wrexham.
