There is a plague in the FM community that has haunted it since Football Manager was released. It is the FMing. To get FM’d. To have received the FM cheese. To be Fm’d. The painful experience of playing a game where you control the tactics, the training, and the player selection but you do not control what actually happens on the field, and sometimes it just isn’t fair. Or at least, sometimes it does not FEEL fair. A late goal to lose after dominating an opponent is your worst FM nightmare. So, here is how to stop it.
I always remind people that this sort of stuff happens in real life too. On the day your collection of wonderkids can just miss every shot they take, while the Football Manager equivalent of the local YMCA happens to score an abs5olute screamer. It’s what makes FM accessible even if you’re bad at it -- you can always win. Even if you’re wrong, you can still send the team out there and win. The downside is that the perfect tactic can still lose. BUT, there are some things to look out for to save yourself from more FMings than you have to endure.
Much Love,
The Zealand

@@ZealandonYT lol
@@ZealandonYT Zea, make one video on a team that has good players but average tactics and one that has average players but good tactics please 🙏. I wanna see it 😔
My worst fm'ing was in the Italian cup against ac Milan. I lost 1 0. I had 23 shots with 13 on target. They had 0 shots and 0 on target. Their only goal was from my keeper kicking the ball into the head of my defender and scoring an own goal.
It wouldn't be weird if the game "accidentally" crashed if you know what I mean ;)
@@stefas17 yeah, its kinda weird how all my players suddenly got 20 on all their attributes ;)
Sorry, but I laughed hard here.
When that happen (more frequently you know) i say "Typical... (insert name here of player of that blooper) SUCK!"
Trying chance traning..add.chance creation and excute..match prepartion is attack move...look in coach assiment who assint to traning attack?My lost match we have 2 goal and missing penal and win 2:0 and have so many chance ..playing awa and we had no favorite..
The goalkeeper situation drives me nuts. I have a world-class keeper who you'd be forgiven for thinking he's blind. More often than not, he only faces a couple of shots and he'll let one in or even both. Meanwhile at the other end, the opposition keeper who stat-wise, isn't fit to clean my keeper's boots, is leaping around like a salmon saving EVERYTHING and ends up MOM.
It’s based on his concentration stat. Their keeper doesn’t need to concentrate because he’s always getting attacke d
@@daraghmcquaid3277 I'll have a look next time I play but I think it's high. All his stats are crazy high I think but I'll check. Cheers.
Whats the xg like? Your team may have bad chances while the opposition team focus on creating very few but really good chances.
@@finding_aether yeah I always check the clear cut chances and their keeper almost always saves more than mine.
@Ben Johnson I think you're right, it sometimes feels more like an adventure game than a football management sim!
Not even gonna bother watching this one. Been playing FM for 13 years, there is no way to avoid being FM'd.
Was already a thing in championship manager! Remember cursing at that freaking Toldo a lot ! Been playing since cm 00/01
Literally the first game I play in FM today after watching this video, I go up against a team with that low block 4-5-1 formation, and it's 0-0 at half time, even though I'm in control and they don't have a shot on target.
I applied some of the tips from this video (both FBs on attack, less direct play, play out wide instead of through the middle) and it worked!
One goal from a cross from a fullback, and then a through-ball through the middle because their defense was stretched out.
10/10
yeah i out of nowhere managed to beat a team way better than me in the bulgarian league but i had to delete some clips to save my game but accidentally loaded my brazilian game
Formation is not critical in football..if you go to draw or you losing game formation not is quilty fot that reason..My expirence is if you go wrong mistake is very simple ..you have look theise 1)TI ,I have problem we connect so many goals,problem is it we have slowly defenders and playing hig def.line,problem isolve def line go to normal2)I dont scoring more 1 goals..we playing with 2 strikers but scoring one very ralery 2 goals..what i doing traning...traning chance creation and chance execute match prepartion attack move..and problem going ..no change formation never
'Don't sleep on the gouda' Was that an intentional HIMYM reference? If so I'm impressed!
It's finally clicked who he looks like. I am slow
Yep - I get told I look like Marshall a lot so like everything, I lean into it
Marshall, and Jason Segal in general, is the best! So that's pretty decent..
You also have shades of Jim from The Office, mate.
Love you Zee, loved the intro T&C's
@@ZealandonYT Andiamo fratello non mantenere tutti i fynyuns
@@ZealandonYT now that u say it I see it😂😂😂
I can’t remember the last time I beat a relegation candidate away from home
Drop your lines back and turn off the offside trap. You are likely too compressed and don't have any way to generate space against teams with 10 guys back. Also turn on early crosses and turn off counter, consider regroup if they are cutting you open with over the top balls. Make sure you can build up play, turn off pass into space.
Hi Zealand. My question is how do you decide where your facial hair ends and your chest hair starts...
🤣🤣🤣
Zealand: making it hard for them to score a tying goal in the 92nd minute of a 3-3 match, making me fall into a pit of self-loathing and remorse, slamming my desk, nearly breaking my keyboard
Me: all of a sudden I'm in the mood to play some FM!
this game is a curse
Yeah haha.
"you see teams do this irl"

The one's that bug me is when it seems like every shot at goal hits the woodwork.
One of the best in-video ads I've ever seen 🤣
Worse one for me was fa cup semi final as Villa against Burnley missed 2 penalties and had an xg of 3 and Burnley won 1-0 with 1 shot on target
That actually made me angry.

You keep outdoing yourself with these intros man. They're hilarious af
When the referee adds on 6 minutes 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Don't sleep on the 'stay back if needed' instruction as a safety measure on set pieces. I always have one set to do that in addition to the standard pair on 'stay back'. If the opposition leave two men forward, I have three men to defend against counters. If they only leave one forward, I have an extra man in the box, essentially on the 'get forward' instruction that most people would probably have him on anyway!
This is a proper good tip mate, I've been playing fm for decades and never thought about that lol
Well when Zealand inevitably commentates Super Bowl LX presented by Raid: Shadow Legends he'll be great at doing all the product placement stuff.
Zealand is so creative with his videos that I didn't even skip the ad part haha
I watch for the intros and stay for the ads (never thought I’d say that about an ad) . The ad on this and 20 Good Minutes podcast with Ben Carr are both priceless. One day we will need a compilation vid of just ads. 😂🤣
I feel like working the ball into the box doesn't work against low-blocks, your players just run into a wall. I just untick it and leave more options open for shooting from range and early crossing
Or play for set pieces if you have good corner/free kick taker.
From what ive seen in this fm, work ball into the box is only useful if you have extremely good players, otherwise u ticking it is the best idea, my midtable teams are incredible without it
Big target man. Wingers run at defense. Done.
That has to be one of your best technical videos ever!
Just finished watchimg Zealand live and now a main channel video. Best day ever
One of your best videos. Certainly one of the most educational :) I find the in-game tactical tweaks essential.
Video idea: how to set up your team to counter/exploit common opposition formations. Like e.g. what's the best way to nullify a 4231 and what spaces should you be looking to overload
The thumbs up at 2:09 just get better and better every time I watch them 🤣🤣🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i also find team fluidity is important to consider, usually i find against low blocks being structured works much better, especially as this usually just means changing some support duties to attack. Being fluid against low block teams seems like your players are trying to find space where there isn't any, where as with structured players don't roam around and the ball is progressed more as you instructe.
Also: if you're a team looking to mke the next step, getting elite center backs is huge, i just had a summer transfer window where i did this and now i hardly ever concede a shot on target
This man has the best intros I have seen on UA-cam I swear
This is the best intro from a Zealand video EVER!!
But we will be FM'ed again... Again... And again...
great vid! definitely helps me look at my Dresden save a bit differently. Hopefully we can hold on to a few more games now. Also.. love me some smoked gouda!
Honestly one of the best Manscaped drops I’ve ever seen.
but are batteries included with Zealand?
No
After watching this, i went back to fm and did some tactical changes-> Scored 11 goals in the first game
Thanks Zealand !
I remember ODFC v Man City on yesterday's stream😢
BRUH! Unreal
Dont spoil it for youtube plssss 🙏
Thank you have a good day too Zealand
just the video I needed today
Loving the update times atm, perfectly in time with my breaks
one additional thing that is very important and maybe was only hinted at here is this: Tired players make more mistakes. Especially if you're playing some varity of gegenpress and your guys are sprinting around the pitch like Roadrunner, come 70/80 minutes you're going to see some guys who are dead on their feet. if you're playing a high pressure tactic i've found Fresh legs make a massive differance late on.
last time I was this early, the bottom league table team had scored one goal at 20 seconds in
Best way to keep a lead is to keep possession 😊, pass the ball a lot towards the end of the game and set the play for set pieces instruction, you might as well as get another goal towards the end.
In the first half of this video, before the ad, you talk about being FM’ed but I totally saw that situation irl in the final game of the Euros. I think this happens irl more often than you think.
Extra advantage of the more controlling tactic once you are ahead. It should be lower intensity so it keeps your players condition higher. I generally have that one as my second or third tactic pre loaded, including the set pieces. And yeah the main focus is not let's go defensive it's much more focus on retaining possession and slowing the game down. My rule of thumb for when to switch is 90 mins - (goal difference -1) x 10). Also always leave a third sub for extra time if you can. In case of injuries or in order to waste time with the sub.
I will lower tempo and put on wasting time often if I am 2:0 up in the 60-70th min. And use shouts often and well to keep your players hyped up
@@nickfury8973 Yeah depending on the FM and my mood its just - goal difference x10 so even if 1-0 up, I do that
in the 80th. For me it is lower tempo, more disciplined, no risky passes on everyone and max time wasting, plus more defensive set pieces. And move some players back a little/ change roles.
@@Hyde_Hill I will play double DM and lower the lines. But I don’t move my attacking setup because i want to keep pressure on and counter attack if there is an opportunity.
Just started my first save and have been repeatedly FMed so this should be helpful
That intro was legendary 🤣
Your intros are always Bob on I don’t know where you come up with most of these ideas I’m assuming you don’t sleep much zea
my only problem with extended highlights is how many times you have to watch your players shoot the ball straight into a defender two feet ahead of them. If that could get toned down a bit (I don't mean the incidents, I know it happens a lot in real life, I just mean the amount of times I have to see it per game on extensive highlights) then I'd be more inclined to watch increased highlight options.
Could you make a video on substitutions? Idk how those work best :)
One more tip that I learned recently: every time the opposition makes a sub, don't forget to opposition instrctions (can I make it a verb though) him.
Recently I was playing against Man Utd, dominating the match, then they brought on a regen with 19 dribbling, 18 acceleration/pace and whatever against my wing back on attack. Two plays later and I got knocked out of the Carabao Cup (who cares about it though lmao). Valuable lesson learned.
The intro alone deserves a like
happens to me quite often, my team gets off 15-20+ shots and my opponent less than 5 and they score lol to either come away with a point or snatch a 1-0 victory lol
I've learned (?) from your videos for next level FM plays you need to rely more on changing individual instructions, rather than team instructions / mentality. Will be hard to figure out completely but I'm having results from watching more of your videos! Thanks lord zealand
Many of us got FM'ed and finally this video is the solution of all and it explains everything along with Manscaped. So many thanks for that.
One thing you didn’t mention is the opposition keeper turning into a physical brick wall
Whenever Zealand uploads, I feel the urge to play FM.
Well done, sir!
I have never seen a formation like that. One of the key attributes is decisions. I like my players smarter than I am and with a great assistant manager, I can spend most of the match day watching UA-cam videos. Seriously, smart players with 15+ decisions which come from mentoring from a few smart old duffers in the B team or wherever.
Decisions, anticipation and off the ball - that combo is beautiful
HIMYM reference? Didn't expect to see that here of all places
How about a video on chasing goals wheb down near the end of the game?
I had a game against one of the worst teams of the league. Their keeper ended with 8,5 of rating. I think it's just unluck
Tell me about.
And your world class goalkeeper can't save a simple shot.
Luckily I'm experiencing the other way around
My latest save features Fulham in 2025 (FM 19 tho, but I don't think it's much different from the latest installments), I managed to reach 8th place, 1 point away from Arsenal (which eventually won FA Cup so overtaking would have been uselees), the season had its ups and downs but generally solid performances from the defense and a lot of creativity in the offense
My go-to tactic is Willems leading the action as complete left fullback and looking for the far post where Wilson (the Welsh one) either strikes or looks for one of the two attackers (Mitrovic, still the captain, and Colidio, from Inter Milan Youth), or it's basically a long pass from my box to Colidio
This guy in the last two games scored the winner in recovery time against Chelsea and Liverpool, after more than one the month without scoring
Didn't win any trophies but at least this was a glimpsw of hope for the next seasons
Guys playing old versions of FM are weak. Unable to adapt. You are not a real football manager my friend
Just played wolves in the carabao cup as Southampton, went down 3-0. Came back to 3-3 but conceded a 94th minute goal from a corner
Heartbreaking 😔
How much do training rating and Form impact your decisions on who to start?
I guess what I'm asking is ...Do these stats actually carry bonuses/penalties into a match? Or are they just after-the-fact statistics that don't influence future performance?
this intro
love the jersey man
Thank you good sir.
HIMYM reference. Nice
My worst fming was when in season 1 with West Ham against man united.
I had 31 shots, 16 on target and lost 1-0
Zealand, i want to ask this question: Since the in-match analysis disappears in FM21, how can you still analyse and make changes during the match like in your video about analysis in FM20? Hope you can release a video about this stuff, thanks!
Good tips. But yeah, we’ll all continue to get FMed anyway because it’s programmed into the game. When you’re running away with your league, FM manipulates results against you. That’s just the way it is. It’s still easy to win the league most seasons, despite FM trying to slow us down.
I just watched this video and an hour later for fm'd. I'm about to cry.
I think the world record for losing with most shots away is Atalantas, 24-1 ... happens regularly in FM.
I remember you at 9k followers....you're now on 121k....you smashed it 👌🏾👌🏾
That was good :D
Can we see some testing of manscape products on your chest? Just a suggestion? Give the people what they want!
Do you have one on squad rotation?
Does it make a difference if i select my team and change to the 2nd tactic the day before a game? (Compared to say, a week in advance)
Coincidentally i have also just drew with nacional who is last place whereas im in first place banging 6-7 goals until this match
Do I get a money back guarantee on my Zealand and what interest rate am i paying on my Zealand?
Replayed a typical 0-0 game (1.21 vs 0.50xG) with Z's ideas, his tactic was almost identical as mine except for an inside forward instead of his deeplying forward, game ended 5-4 with 3.53 vs 1.97xG. Not sure it fits me as a defensive coach lol, but at least it gave me ideas for the future when i cannot break down the opponent again.
yes recently lost my job because of this 1 one month after coming 3rd in the world cup with Australia 3 days to late :(
Make me wanna throw keyboard at the monitor.
Top tip: update your opposition instructions when they make a substitution. That 19 year old 4 star advanced forward wonder kid with 19 finishing and 17 accelerationthat you were tightly marking, had now been replaced 32 year old 20 shot dude who just kills it from outside the box. Update your instructions!
Got FM'd as I watched this
the himym reference
2-0 up as villa in FA Cup semis. Concede twice in last 5 minutes, concede another two goals in extra time.
They had 4 shots in the whole game
"Smoked like gouda"
I have a Brighton save and I was in the quarter finals of the carabao cup vs villa. 21 shots (16 on target) compared to their 3 shots (2 on target) 2-1 😐
Considering you were Brighton, that sounds pretty realistic
In fm 21, I had a brighton save, was gunning for the title. 4 games left as we face 19th place West Brom. Vlasic scored and we went one nil up. Pappeti toes sliding in on Diangana and Cyle Larin scores the pen. 35 shots later the game ended 1-1 with Trossard hitting the post twice.
Brighton Shots: 35
Brighton Shots on target: 16
West Brom Shots: 2
West Brom Shots on target: 1
We placed second by 4 points after our momentum was ruined
It worked!
I played three matches and kept 3 clean sheets.
*proceeds to get Fm'd*
If only Deschamps listened to that advices...
Ah yeah, those counter corners still hurts... What I hate even more is when they just get a free kick and boom, goal. Especially when they are the better team, ofc their set pieces are fcking dangerous. Last time against Inter, 4-0. Only set pieces...
Got recommended this video immediately after watching oriental dragons lose 5-1 with an xg advantage on the final match day of the promotion play-offs (first season of save).
16:21 England in the Euros final
Hi all, been watching a few of these videos (love them!) and was wondering if there's one you could point me to that might help me. I've established myself (Eintracht Frankfurt) as one of the best 3 or 4 teams in the Bundesliga (I even won it a couple of years ago) but we're finding it increasingly difficult against the other good teams (Bayern, Dortmund, Leipzig and, of late, Hertha). I usually play a really agressive and direct 4-3-3 sort of ala Jesse Marsch/the BR philosophy, but I'm increasingly pinned back by the other good teams and can't get out. I'm having very few chances, they're doing to me what I usually do to the opposition despite my team being pretty much as strong as theirs. Any tips on how to edit my tactic slightly to deal with these games where I'm not by far and away the best team? Or a new way of playing for these games? Thanks.
DO NOT GO INTO A SHELL TOO EARLY, are you listening Gareth?
I managed to both get FM’d and FM another team whilst watching this video
Fm'd since 1999. 20 mouses and 30 keyboards destroyed
I let a 3 goal lead go in 6 mins when I was Kilmarnock against QOS
At this juncture, I have not bought FM since FM17. I want to get back into it. Is it worth it to get FM 21 now OR Wait for FM22? I am open to getting both too but leaning towards one.
i concede in the first minute more often then not
10:57 top quality ASMR.
