Great choice for a challenge. Prefer finding mid-high level players for decent prices and slowly building a trophy chasing squad. Looking forward to this 🙌
Almeria is a great choice. Tick over in Spain bit later ...I think it's July 12th. Also it's piping hot all year round. Be a great retirement home for legends! I'd sell everyone complete rebuild get loads of cash in and get a mix of legends and newgens. Be a lovely time.
Almeria was left field but i am glad you went there. They are my team in Spain essentially because i managed to take them into Europe in an FM game a few years ago.
No matter how Spurs does after your departure, it can't possibly turn into a bigger dumpster fire than it is in real life right now. Either way, onwards and upwards! Always love starting at a new club. Curious to see what you turn this squad into. Love the Gudjohnsen pick, always liked him as a player. As for a goalkeeper... Colon SZN?
it will be interesting to see how long spurs can stay prem and ucl title competitive and how much more they win before they naturally return to being similar to the rest of the top 6. i wonder how long before they sell their stars like sesko, pino and bellingham and who they bring in with that money.
Excited for this save Clayts LET'S GO!!! On a side note, it's pronounced Almeriiiiiiiia, with emphasis on the i (in case you didn't understand it haha), can't have the DOF not pronouncing correctly the name of the club he directs 😅 good luck with the series can't wait!
You really inspired me, but what instructions do you when a match starts? Go on holiday? And how are you deciding which tactic the club is training on? These are the thing I don't know what to do.
Thank you for not doing dortmund I was one of those saying that would be to easy I enjoy the seris going to a massive club wouldn't be fun (No spurs fans you aren't a big club) 😂
Don't think you should sign chaves, for that sort of money for a year you could probably pick up someone similar that would be yours to build a team around like you did with the lad from partizan
Great choice, really excited for this! Do you not still need someone to cover the right hand side though? Or are you relying on Vella adapting to there? Otherwise I'd say the squad looks in decent shapes, just clear some of the unneeded players and maybe use the free wage bill to get some exciting youngsters for depth I'd say
Me watching the video: "I hope he pronounces it 'Almería' and not "Almeria" Clayts: "Welcome to..." "AHLMEERIA" Me: "Oh my God, he can't just... bless him" BUT, ironically, he pronounced "rojiblancos" almost perfectly.
So, after watching up to here Some comments 1. As soon as you set one tactic "just to show us what the manager will probably play" the players are actually training with that tactic set as the Primary Trained Tactic which means they are likely to play it 2. You can try and change the preferred formation of a manager by setting the tactic (as in comment #1) and then seeing him play that formation - especially when his 2nd favored is something you might actually liked.
Yep - which is why I go with the tactic that is already the preferred one - and a preset version of it so as to influence as little as possible. It’s a workaround game mode and we have to work with what we’ve got
Any registration or game day restrictions re. foreign players or homegrown players in Spanish league? Something to think about as you’re doing your transfer business …
Varane is not worth the purchase at all. Could look for defenders with similar attributes and max value £2m-£10m (with good physical attributes too 😂) The squad can do with a complete revamp. Maybe keep players for the club series (see how they develop till the end of the series). Vella looks like a beast Definitely should focus on players age range for the squad progress. The value and potential of players should play key to Almeria’s development. I’m intrigued to see the talented pool of young talents under 10m value and max age, 20. Including any young talents at Tottenham to shortlist and pursue once the club establish themselves financially. Would you consider scouting the staff across La Liga? I believe improving the backroom staff will bring a massive boost to Almeria’s presence in the league and Europe also, plus you can weaken your rivals.
Charles Vella is a bargain at that salary. It's way lower than some of the contracts you inherited for players who are older, lower potential, and no better right now. Plus if he's only worth the low end of his value at £39 million he's worth it. You paid £4.9 million and you're paying him about £3.4 million per season, so worst case he doesn't improve much, you can cash in and still make a tidy profit after taking salary into account.
Would recommend M’bala Nzola, was the top scorer in the league and for Vallecano in the game and has been extremely reliable as a striker for me over the last couple of editions of FM
I would start looking at the ageing players that I want to sell by next year and recruit in those positions. I think there are valid arguments to try to sign a really good cb or winger (which you've already done) to influence results but with two gks over 34 you absolutely have to sign at least one gk (which you've also done) since you'll need one or two more next year. I think I'd focus on a cb to move varane out of the team asap and start looking at which first 11 players can become squad players either now or next season and be improved on.
Was buzzing when I seen the reveal. Currently in 2030 with Almeria - searching for that elusive UCL, just after winning my 6th la Liga in a row. Clayts is the goat. Really looking forward to this.
How long to realise you can only register 25 on a somewhat strict wage budget? 😅 Good choice though, I think this is a great club to work on, to see how far they can get.
Thoughts on utilising some young players discovered at spurs? Can make use of the efforts in scouting them. Probs also have more game time with almeria
stop telling me how to say almeria and subscribe
NO!! XD I'm subscribed already, I can only criticise your pronunciation
😂
The brazilian defender involved in the drunk driving incident wasn't Kaiky. It was Renan.
That’s it! Thank you ❤️
I've literally just signed Renan in my save. Was wondering why he was so cheap...
You are in Spain now so you have to change currency You cant use pounds. Also leran som spanish
No. And I don’t want to leran som spanish.
Has Varane got non-playing attributes, he could, in time be an assistant manager perhaps 🤔
Al-meh-rea 😘
Only here for this
Noted.
Ha yes that was my first thought. Aal-mr-ee-uh
Great choice for a challenge. Prefer finding mid-high level players for decent prices and slowly building a trophy chasing squad. Looking forward to this 🙌
dont sleep on Jerdy Schouten. So very underrated on this game and a fair player for the rossoblu in real life!
Looking forward to this. Almeria became really good on my la liga save so hopefully you can replicate it!
Calling Gudjohnsen the Iceman when that's Bergkamp's nickname and he was the other option is a major meme moment
Tbf Gudjohnsen actually did have that nickname too
Your assistant manager has a son on the game (Andri Guðjohnsen)... i think you should try to sign him...
I like it!
Need to clear out that squad… So much deadwood! Varane also needs to go, 9 strength and awful pace 🤨
He's also only got his continental A licence. Develop him to the pro license and roll the dice that some of those attributes may improve.
Can't believe you turned your nose up at Dennis "The Clog" Berkamp. Can you #ClaytsOut a DoF?

Colon is still the dream but we need to get to a point where we have £84m in straight cash to spend because of his release clause
Can't believe I've just found this. Never thought I'd see my team on FM UA-cam...
"Lucas Chevallier who played for Lyon" *points out toward Lilles emblem*
Excited for this save Clayts LET'S GO!!! On a side note, it's pronounced Almeriiiiiiiia, with emphasis on the i (in case you didn't understand it haha), can't have the DOF not pronouncing correctly the name of the club he directs 😅 good luck with the series can't wait!
Hate to be THAT guy. But that accent tells you it’s al-mer-EE-a. Love the choice though. Who else has managed them?!
You really inspired me, but what instructions do you when a match starts? Go on holiday? And how are you deciding which tactic the club is training on? These are the thing I don't know what to do.

Love that you chose Almeria. Curious to see what you do here. Please tell us which signing did Gudjohnsen recommend?
He didn’t ever get back to me 😂
What other teams did you consider becoming dof for?
goal keeper, winger and center back should be the targets
Me watching the video: "I hope he pronounces it 'Almería' and not "Almeria"
Clayts: "Welcome to..."
"AHLMEERIA"
Me: "Oh my God, he can't just... bless him"
BUT, ironically, he pronounced "rojiblancos" almost perfectly.
Yeah - we talk about that in future eps don’t worry ❤️
Next challenge needs to be a youth to gold as the DOF.
This is a good team to try and beat real and Barcelona , lets go
How do you buy 40mil player for 4.5 mil?
Im icelandic so i love that you got eiður smári gudhjonson
Uros Spajic ,pretty good CB for free
So, after watching up to here

Have you tried looking at any free agents?
Its read it wrong .. its Almeriya
Good choice they always do well on my files
Any registration or game day restrictions re. foreign players or homegrown players in Spanish league? Something to think about as you’re doing your transfer business …
3 non-eu players only!
Fm mobile game is essentially d.o.f
Player you isolated was Renan!
Definitely a goalkeeper and rw needed
Varane is knackered lol you need a cb
Varane is not worth the purchase at all. Could look for defenders with similar attributes and max value £2m-£10m (with good physical attributes too 😂)
The squad can do with a complete revamp. Maybe keep players for the club series (see how they develop till the end of the series). Vella looks like a beast

looking forward to this!!
Can you make a small video or reel of how you set up for a DOF saves, not sure if he’s done it yet but yeah
Yes I will do that
Almeria got champions league football under Fernando Torres on my save. Ex Chelsea strikers seem popular!
Charles Vella is a bargain at that salary. It's way lower than some of the contracts you inherited for players who are older, lower potential, and no better right now. Plus if he's only worth the low end of his value at £39 million he's worth it.

As someone who supports Lille I'd like to say that Chevalier is an awesome goalkeeper, he's been amazing at Lille, great signing!
Tremendous business
Was buzzing when I seen the reveal. Currently in 2030 with Almeria - searching for that elusive UCL, just after winning my 6th la Liga in a row. Clayts is the goat. Really looking forward to this.
Good choice of club Clayts 👏 looking forward to this chapter
Pronounced “Al-mar-eeee-ah”
Goalkeeper, wingers and center backs for sure!!
Almeria seems like a fun choice with the possibility of big money in the future with their owner.
Let’s go
How long to realise you can only register 25 on a somewhat strict wage budget? 😅
Good choice though, I think this is a great club to work on, to see how far they can get.
Strict budgets - right up my street…😂
@@Clayts Just a hint to check registration beforehand 😜
Oh I have, it’s all good 👍
Definitely need a new goalkeeper but you can tell its gonna be a good series
Nice vid!
I'm not really that impressed with the new GK
Stefan Ortega was playing in India in game wow
9:01
Thoughts on utilising some young players discovered at spurs? Can make use of the efforts in scouting them. Probs also have more game time with almeria
Absolutely - already started with that!
Oh yes Sorry I did see that. My badd, didn’t get to watch this live.
Ps: liking the challenge btw.
Love this series so much.
First
nope
