Just finished my first season, just missed out by a couple of points, but Plange was the leagues top scorer with 28. Can't wait to see where this journey goes!
This series looks like it’ll be fun! You’ve really missed a trick with the club fines. Should’ve set them all to max and you’d have been out of admin within a month with Ravel’s fines.
best of luck to ya derby fan. I'm a luton town fan and we had TWO SEASONS IN A ROW of points deductions. took us into the conference lol. hopefully you guys fair better in the coming years. never had any beef with derby.
Poor Jason, he really cares doesn't he? Pull your finger out Pond, find a buyer and get a smile back on that boys face. Looking forward to the series Ben!
Great episode Ben, laugh out loud funny! Just wanted to say it was great seeing you clearly enjoying yourself, not that you didn't doing GH. I can't thank you and your crew for getting me deeply invested again in FM and the twitch community around it, you've given me a goal to aim for in one day taking part in a showdown lol. Keep up the good fight buddy, you are brilliant!
Benjy is the onlyFM streamer which I’ll actually laugh out loud at. This is bringing back good memories of the Thames save last year. Which was absolutely brilliant.
Liam Rosenior is one of the best guys in football. Came to Brighton and was a model professional even if he didn't play that much because he was behind Bruno. Became a key part of the dressing room then went on to be a top coach in our youth teams. Went to Derby and was a coach before becoming assistant manager to Rooney. Every appearance on Sky Sports he massively improves the quality of the broadcast as he's so knowledgeable about the game.
the dude was literally born into the game he loves. can always remember the name rosenior as i was growing up 90s-00s. his old man is very knowledgeable also. and i agree 100% with your assessment. not a brighton or derby fan.
I worked at Derby County for 10 years, seeing them through administration and the new owner coming in. This is amazing. It is just like real life. Asking where the administrators were and what the hell is going on 😂 going to watch this entire save. 🐏
I recently did this same thing and really enjoyed it! Managed to keep them up with ease but the 2nd season was tougher. I sold anyone with value to free up wages and managed to get a takeover in the last few days of the window before I tried to sign anyone I could.
I bought Bielik in my Sunderland save this year, as a sort of mid/upper Championship option - very handy indeed, but the most injury prone player I've ever come across on FM. Recovered from a broken leg and in his VERY FIRST DAY of pre-training tore a hammy. Missed 90% of the season.
Tough taking this on after the winter update. Takeover won’t happen until transfer window is closed I bet. Didn’t happen until October in mine. Cracking first video.
Hopefully max bird becomes a many stay in this team so I can say I’ve marked a top derby player in your save..... admittedly it was on the field in the year 11 vs 10 derby but I’ll take it
Save I absolutely need now that derby are almost confirmed as relegated. Need to go on a ridiculous run of form to avoid the drop and try and get the club’s future solved
If you look that season when they were relegated from championship and add 21 points that were deducted from them ,they would have finish with 50-60 points and be safe in the middle of championship table. Hope this year they return to championship, they were always mine favorite English club.
Could we have another Zealand “Saves your saves” collaboration? Z-“LOANS!!!!” Benji-“STFU! We’re in administration! This isn’t America where the government just gives big corporations bailouts” Just find me 40 million £s”. This looks like a great series
Wait until deadline day when top flight clubs are desperate to loan out their players and ease their wage demands. Offer for as many as you can with whatever wage you can afford and set it to non-negotiable while the playing time is set to Key Player. You may be able to bring in players like Liam Delap or Dane Scarlett on 0 wages who could really help your season. Also, 532 with a DM and two wing-backs is a safe bet in this league, and your wing-backs can be shit as long as they have pace. Good luck
Hoping you have better luck than me on the financial front. All I got was a debt restructuring 3 times, which was fine, but no takeover meant no money invested unfortunately.
As a long suffering Derby fan, I'm very excited for this series! It's been really sad over the last year to see the big clubs come and pick out our best youth talents for next to nothing as we struggle to survive. Liverpool took Kaide Gordon, Man City took Liam Delap, Chelsea took Dylan Williams, Man Utd took a flock of our U18s not long ago, all for derisory fees. It's brutal to watch a 'golden generation' leave for peanuts when the club is still in danger of disappearing entirely. Right the wrong! Don't part with Bird, Knight or Buchannan for less than £15 million each! Also, look out for Cashin. Not sure what he's like on FM but he's keeping Stearman out of our side right now.
In am in the 2033/34 season and it doesn't get better, even when things are going well there is always the niggling "how can this go wrong" in my mind, Derby are the Mr Bean of clubs.
In my latest Oxford City FC save, after we got promoted to VNN, after I had sold a bunch of players who were not good enough, our owner retired, so I started the VNN with no goalie, just an AI-generated garbage one. Any shot on target went in. I still won one game, drew 2, and lost 4 before an owner came in and I got a goalie, couldn't find a good 2nd one, so f me when he gets called to the Iceland team and I have to scramble to sign someone again. I hate administration lol
I see so many comments talking about how this is like Old Benjy. Does that mean you’ll start singing On My Pond for the administrator or is that too old?!
Most I've laughed at one of your vids for a while mate, you're always funny but this was a real proper laugh. Excited for the journey!
the introduction to the press had me in stitches
The way to fix the squad depth, as a wise American once said, "LOANS, LOAAAANS! LOANNNNS"
Well, it seems loans are not allowed either even if they are for FREE...makes no sense.
@@BlueWoWTaylan Administration really sucks.
This has the feeling of a classic DoctorBenjy series already, intro reminds of Salford. Very exciting 😁😁
100%
Norwich vibes
Kudos to you for taking on the Derby challenge. I thought about it but decided it was just to much for me. This was funny as hell man, have a sub :D
I have to say I think this is your best video since the original Thames. You had me chuckling all the way through!
Just finished my first season, just missed out by a couple of points, but Plange was the leagues top scorer with 28. Can't wait to see where this journey goes!
It's my first video I've watched from you. Very humorous and exciting. Will definitely come back for others :)
This series looks like it’ll be fun!
You’ve really missed a trick with the club fines. Should’ve set them all to max and you’d have been out of admin within a month with Ravel’s fines.
Love it Ben, huge derby fan and have been season ticket holder since I was 6, hope you are able to pull it off
Are you ready for league 1?
best of luck to ya derby fan. I'm a luton town fan and we had TWO SEASONS IN A ROW of points deductions. took us into the conference lol. hopefully you guys fair better in the coming years. never had any beef with derby.
Poor Jason, he really cares doesn't he? Pull your finger out Pond, find a buyer and get a smile back on that boys face. Looking forward to the series Ben!
Super excited, thanks for the amazing content Ben!
COYR, Plange is on loan as we sold him to palace this season, and the EFL allowed him to come back on loan.
Great episode Ben, laugh out loud funny! Just wanted to say it was great seeing you clearly enjoying yourself, not that you didn't doing GH. I can't thank you and your crew for getting me deeply invested again in FM and the twitch community around it, you've given me a goal to aim for in one day taking part in a showdown lol.

Been AGES since I've seen one of your vids Ben, excited for this. You popped up in my recommended and I'm very gassssed. Lets go
Benjy is the onlyFM streamer which I’ll actually laugh out loud at. This is bringing back good memories of the Thames save last year. Which was absolutely brilliant.
Excellent 1st video cant wait to see how this develops! Going to go do my own derby save right now!
love that the intros are back and you have used your new camera for it too!
Ben this was an absolute delight. Really looking forward to this series. Great work
Glad you enjoyed it!

Never laughed as much. You just know its classic Ben when you can laugh as he comes across a stumbling block. Looking forward how this goes.
Great first episode mate, the interactions you have with background staff in these videos always has me in stitches.
Really enjoyed it Ben, it was old Benjy which I love! Loved the amount of sass you had aswell
Forsyth tends to get big injuries and retire quite soon too. Not consistent and has an error in him. Just a head up haha
Love your energy! Keep up the good work mate!
I worked at Derby County for 10 years, seeing them through administration and the new owner coming in. This is amazing. It is just like real life. Asking where the administrators were and what the hell is going on 😂 going to watch this entire save. 🐏
very seldom leave comments on videos but in this you genuinely seem so much more yourself; I’m glad you took the decision for yourself!
I recently did this same thing and really enjoyed it! Managed to keep them up with ease but the 2nd season was tougher. I sold anyone with value to free up wages and managed to get a takeover in the last few days of the window before I tried to sign anyone I could.
GET IN!! I'm buzzing you're doing this series
So glad to see my favourite FM youtuber doing the team I support!
I bought Bielik in my Sunderland save this year, as a sort of mid/upper Championship option - very handy indeed, but the most injury prone player I've ever come across on FM. Recovered from a broken leg and in his VERY FIRST DAY of pre-training tore a hammy. Missed 90% of the season.
Colin Kazim-Richards at the blades was unmatched Ben! Love the new series, keep em coming!
So excited for this Ben! Gonna be a great series
i am buzzing on this one .... i asked for u to do a save with derby to try and save em couple months back... looking forward to this one mate
Brilliant video Ben. Really looking forward to seeing how the series progresses.
As a derby fan, Im looking forward to living in this save instead of real life 😂😭
Are you happy that after sorting out the issue with Steve Gibson, after he solely tried to destroy the club?
Tough taking this on after the winter update. Takeover won’t happen until transfer window is closed I bet. Didn’t happen until October in mine. Cracking first video.
Hopefully max bird becomes a many stay in this team so I can say I’ve marked a top derby player in your save..... admittedly it was on the field in the year 11 vs 10 derby but I’ll take it
If anyone can save my club Ben can! 😁( p.s Ebosele is the Irish Adama Traore)
You seem to be enjoying yourself an awful lot more here. Loved it
This was a hilarious start and I am 100% up for this series
This is the Benjy content we've been wanting... Yes!
Pumped for this, nice one Ben
i love those scetches amazing how you bring the band back together
Im just happy that huddersfield have been mentioned in a video, class video aswell btw cant wait for the rest, and especially the game against town😂
Nice work Ben looking forward to seeing some little scenes
Fantastic episode , really enjoyed , Brill work as always Big big thanks
Derby fan here, we lost about 8 players in January so playing the most recent update has definitely made it more difficult!
Save I absolutely need now that derby are almost confirmed as relegated. Need to go on a ridiculous run of form to avoid the drop and try and get the club’s future solved
If you look that season when they were relegated from championship and add 21 points that were deducted from them ,they would have finish with 50-60 points and be safe in the middle of championship table. Hope this year they return to championship, they were always mine favorite English club.
This could be properly chaotic. I'm ready for it
This already feels like DoctorBenjy at his best
After Thames ended I am happy to see this kind of season campaign again!
Loving the new camera Ben!
What a great start, looking forward to the next one! I think rosenior needs an arm round the shoulder.
Been watching you for years and never expected to see the Rams as a save. Sad circumstances, but hopefully you do the job 🐏
Great start Ben!
Prime Benjy is when the save is absolute chaos. So much more entertaining than just a standard save 😂😂
Fantastic, great start. Will watch this series.
Could we have another Zealand “Saves your saves” collaboration? Z-“LOANS!!!!” Benji-“STFU! We’re in administration! This isn’t America where the government just gives big corporations bailouts” Just find me 40 million £s”. This looks like a great series
As an avid derby county fan. I’m really looking forward to this save Ben, good luck! Also, make sure you keep Louis Sibley…
Classic Ben to mention how long every players has been at derby apart from Forsyth who has been there for 10 years
Good luck with this mate
Fantastic video. Love the silliness. Keep it up
YESSSSSSS. LET'S GO!!! Also that intro was absolute fire!
Excellent video Ben
Tough at -21, looking forward to this! Good luck!
I'm back watching you on this new save Ben, looking forward to some new creative content too buddy as u promised. !
Wait until deadline day when top flight clubs are desperate to loan out their players and ease their wage demands.

Fantastic stuff Ben, loved the first episode 🙂
“The first thing I want to fix is Liam Roseniors confidence” 😂😂
'Where can I talk to this administrator'. Great question, been stealing a living for months
Episode feels like retro/old Benjy. (And I mean that in the best possible way).
Really excited for this one!
Video got a like just from the Rooney intro - Keep up the good work!
Hoping you have better luck than me on the financial front. All I got was a debt restructuring 3 times, which was fine, but no takeover meant no money invested unfortunately.

Classic old school benji intro 🤣 love it
This is a bit of fun and I'm looking forward to watching, a little on the nose for Derby fans however 🤣
Ah this was a great vid, can’t wait to see this more! :)
Knight, Ebosele and Cashin are three of the best irish prospects in years
You sound back on your game, looking forward to the series.
Wow! Squad is small and the injuries are serious! To say nothing about the -21 pts
In am in the 2033/34 season and it doesn't get better, even when things are going well there is always the niggling "how can this go wrong" in my mind, Derby are the Mr Bean of clubs.
really good into matey!
Think Liam needs to talk to Schouten that might perk him up a bit.
This is great, might try this myself I need a new save.
The madness is that they could still potentially manage this in real life.. usually for the player than real life so think this is defo achievable!!
Going to be tough given the run of fixtures remaining and the away form is rubbish
How do you get the updated team? When I started up I still had Shinnie and Jozwiak.
Love to see a new series
In my latest Oxford City FC save, after we got promoted to VNN, after I had sold a bunch of players who were not good enough, our owner retired, so I started the VNN with no goalie, just an AI-generated garbage one. Any shot on target went in. I still won one game, drew 2, and lost 4 before an owner came in and I got a goalie, couldn't find a good 2nd one, so f me when he gets called to the Iceland team and I have to scramble to sign someone again. I hate administration lol
that Irish winger is joining some Italian team in the summer I believe
Love it mate
This will be fantastic!
12:12 most of derby share the sentiment about the administrators
You could always buy a shirt from the team store. I think they have a special right now, buy 2 get the club free.
excited for this!
I see so many comments talking about how this is like Old Benjy. Does that mean you’ll start singing On My Pond for the administrator or is that too old?!
Too bad you can’t get Rooney to start for you! Might cheer Liam up a bit at least. Great vid.
Love the first ep, bring in a Steve McLaren as DofF please
I like the idea Ben I'll join you with my own save at Derby County =D
