If you want to get in on this super early you can use the player search filters to search for players that have expiring contracts in 12, 6, or 3 months. I usually build a short-list for the next window as soon as one closes. Mainly important for the July window but you can get some good South Americans in January
A missing tip is you can also add in a shortlist view if the player has been 'set to release' which the AI does as one in bulk some time I think in May, and because of that status you can start negotiating to sign them straight away without having to wait until the last month of the contract.
TRIALIST TIP: do you have a reserve or youth team (obviously not a guarantee at lower levels)? dump your trialists in there and mitigate the effect on your senior squad's training
I haven't played FM for a long long time but.... this video reminds me of how, back in FM2010, I signed J-P Papin to my team... Avarta.... in the danish 2nd division. He was well into his 40s but could still hit the back of the net!
In FM 08 or 09 i signed Rivaldo to my Stoke team. he scored soo many damn free kicks and helped Ryan Shawcross score 20+ backpost headers from corners.
@@ivankut I imagine that the Free Kick level stays high even when physical attributes decline dramatically. Papin's finishing was still like level 20 or something even when his pace had faded to nearly nothing!
I got so many contracts in my squad. I got 99 problems but a loan aint one. This feeling in my heart, this itch in my brain That this year those loans gonna gime gain This feels excited, it feels real good Gotta bring loans back to the hood
I signed Anthony Martial on a free in the National League...he'd been released on a free by Man United 2 years previously and been without a club for 2 years, but looked like he could do a hell of a job for me still, and was willing to play for a surprisingly low wage. And he could...for the 5 or 6 games in the whole season he wasnt injured
I like to use the prompt about my own players contracts expiring to jump on the fact that other teams will be having this as well. Typically at the end of December you can search for contracts expiring in 6 months and get a lot of people in Europe on that list. Similarly, when the prompt shows up in August you can find the same for South American players.
I love you’re taking a local town club to the prem haha. Taunton is about 30 mins from me. My current save im taking Stockport up. Back to back promotion had 3 season in championship. Made playoffs every year and lost in semis 3 times in a row. Going for auto promotion this year for the prem with no money and I’m freebie signing genius.
When you're in the All Players menu, you can click the drop down that says All Players and select Upcoming Contract Expiry Dates to filter out all the ones that aren't about to expire.
Rejected youth players are even better, because they might be strong enough to play for your crappy team already and due to the massive amount of playtime, they improve so rapidly that they're still a starter two years and two promotions later.
Great video Z. Not sure if it's helpful on 23 because I've stayed on 22 but I've had some success adding a step prior to this of using team reports on u18s and u23s of prem and championship. Gives you a vague idea of who to target and if started after intake day means you can cover a lot of players with 1 scout and normally means I can get early offers on the premium guys (although still has a low rate of success)
Using just one default shortlist reduces the time you need to place and remove them significantly, I wouldn't be surprised if you save an hour per season. You can always filter within the shortlist for what you are actually looking for: expiring contracts, free players etc Or even better, search through "scouted players" screen (without putting almost everyone you might potentially maybe one day be interested in on a shortlist) and save even more time. Putting a guy on a shortlist, tracking in inbox what's happeing to him, removing him when he signs elsewhere times 500 or more players. It seriously adds up.
I think it could be useful to an extent for me because sometimes I'll see a player and he'll be kind of yeah, I definitely want you but I dont have a chance right now? I forget names a lot lol One thing on loans though, and I'm aware this probably sounds creepy! but is there a way to get told when a player turns 17 and thus could generally be available for loan?
@@mattjames6349 Create a note for the player. You can set up the reminder date on exactly the day he turns 17 or whenever you wish. As for shortlist, I'm not saying don't use at all. But rather not adding every single player that comes through the scouting reports, because that's actually what the scouted players window already does. And you can easily put them on the default shortlist.
@@Draddar yeah I knew about setting a note, I just wondered if there was a more efficient way but it doesn’t sound like it . I got what you were saying. I don’t think I could play it quite like Zealand does . I take a pretty laid back approach to scouting throughout the year (unless I have a crisis !), and then start ramping it up as the season ends and hopefully I have more of an idea what division I’ll be in. I kind of feel like if I get into scouting during the season too much then there’s a chance I’ll get tempted to buy someone I really didn’t need to !
im very bad about cleaning shortlists, so i have a loose one where i just remove them if i dont see a usefulness, but i use the scouted view all the time to look for players. also if you have good scouting knowledge, just plain old player search and assign to the scout for that country.
@@piersonjamesa I did realise something though . Ignore me for this because obviously everyone hopes to be in a position to sign players they actually want long term , but if you want a guy who’s just going to offer you stability but not take you to next level then offer him a non promotion release clause of zero. He’s happy, he thinks you give a crap about him ? I only suggest this because someone came in for my sub right back and I had to do something on deadline day
my favourite way of getting players who are far better than your club in the lower leagues in FM is to sign the guts from america who are 18/19 who have no contract. Works very well in the likes of Scotland as there is no 20k fee for work permits.
Greetings from Portugal, checking the video since got FM24 for free from Epic and will finally have a bit of time to go and play. Big thanks for your content and keep rocking Portuguese club jerseys!
I'm not sure if it's league based, but once I get the 30 emails that trialists join, it allows me to invite 30 more trialists so I can get up to 90 a day trialing. Just had 250+ trialists in at the same time. Made finding the free guys easy (and training useless)
Anyone else noticed how random the match engine seems to be this year? Just to test it, I tried reloading a few games without changing any tactics and ive had 2-1 losses turn into 6-0 victories... kind of feels like our tactics don't matter anywhere near as much as we think with this level of randomness?
I wanted to add that you can actually go arround de 30 trials limit, you wait until the moment they are in the time and then you invite 20 more, and then you confirm and wait until the moment they are in the team, and you invite more.... in my pentagon challenge i've had more then 300 players in trials for 4 weeks in the youth team and evaluate them at the and of the trial... that's i've got a lot of team improving players to horrible teams.....
Idk why but that weird accent he used in the beginning sounds like he was auditioning for the now empty spot play the VA for Morty from Rick and Morty lol
i actually managed to get promoted from the 6th tier to the 4th in two seasons with Hampton and Richmond, but now i have 0 money to sign players for the 4th tier, probably going go get relegated lmao
My issue with the 1st point, the Scouting Centre and putting these players in your shortlist is that they sometimes are from other countries. Since I want to keep "updating player information" enabled, they automatically use a lot of my scouting budget just for that if I put them into a shortlist. Should have said that I'm playing with a danish team, currently in 2nd tier.
I started unemployed took over banbury in vanarama north didnt sign anyone and waited for majoirty of the squad to leave so i csn rebuild. Players who i wanted to keep want 3 to 4x the salary they had the previous year and nobody will talk to my club becsuse we lack the financial power? Help?
Zealand i downloaded and applied your skin onto my FM23 and the touchline panels between highlights have mostly gone and now i only have one thin panel on the right? is this what it is meant to be like
How do I reliably scout for loans if im in Serie D? I try to raid the U18s of the top teams but none of them ever accept a trial, and scouting them takes forever

I usually build a short-list for the next window as soon as one closes. Mainly important for the July window but you can get some good South Americans in January
I even add a contract expiring stipulation to my scouts assignments too.
I love how Zealand is in a noticeably worse mood after suffering through non-league football in FM, very relatable
Best loan song yet
I clicked the like just because of that loan song
I finally started playing fm because of this channel. Starting with 20 to get acclimated.
I have loans.
A missing tip is you can also add in a shortlist view if the player has been 'set to release' which the AI does as one in bulk some time I think in May, and because of that status you can start negotiating to sign them straight away without having to wait until the last month of the contract.
It normally happens around the time the game asks you in may to decide on expiring contracts for your team
ty did not know this.
One of the best ones.
TRIALIST TIP: do you have a reserve or youth team (obviously not a guarantee at lower levels)? dump your trialists in there and mitigate the effect on your senior squad's training
Also using this tip you can raise the amount of trialed people up to infinity

It may. Once he's 42.
@@TheCapitaineCarnage and still he choose to retire
Nikola Sekulov is clear🥱
Fr I'm so disappointed 🙁☹️
The non league jungle is absolutely painful to cross... I usually spent several hours for the scout/trail/deal/reject process. SO much fun love it.
@10:28 just go to your team selection filter by either potential or ca stars select all below 3.5 and terminate trial its way easier
I got so many contracts in my squad.

good job staying on 22, 23 is awful lol
Good to see Bournemouth now playing their games at Bristol City
That happened in my save lol
Perfect timing for me after my Oldham team just drew 1-1 with Scunthorpe. Bottom of the league and they haven't won a game since 1974
That hair on the back of Zea's head swinging back and forth was... hypnotising

Gorgeous jersey! 🐉💙
When you realize youre the teacher of an awesome life elective called fm23 and all your viewers are failing the class miserably
Best is to loan players from bigger clubs.... Often you get players so good that they often become superstar
Great video mate enjoyed that, especially the singing 😉
Came for the loan song left a changed man
Am I the only one who clicked on the link and assumed it was going to be Zealand singing the LOANS, LOANS, LOANS song for 14 minutes?
PORTO T-SHIRT, LOVE YOU
Zealand, i swear to god if you don''t make an actual full three minute loans song I'mma lose it.
You crushed my heart when you took my cookie

I love the loans song so much...
6:20 can’t you do this in Player Search, by filtering “Contract Expiring in 3 months” and setting their club to “Based in Premier League”
Portoooo 💙💙💙
Zealand is Taunton us
Came here for the tips, stayed for the loans song 🎶
Great video and an even greater kit
Never play or understand FM & I still watch the video 🧐
Loan song was magnificent
Frees are definitely worth keeping an eye on psg managed to get vini junior in season one on a free from real Madrid on my save madness lol

You have Ryan Reynolds energy for FM and I love it.
What a shirt 🔵🤍😁

Yes it is

amazing shirt btw
How to send a big batch off players to your shortlist at once? Like you did with the blue select thingy
My issue with the 1st point, the Scouting Centre and putting these players in your shortlist is that they sometimes are from other countries. Since I want to keep "updating player information" enabled, they automatically use a lot of my scouting budget just for that if I put them into a shortlist. Should have said that I'm playing with a danish team, currently in 2nd tier.
Give him all the Grammys already.
Good to see anotherfootball maanger video, I was starting to wonder if this was now a football politics channel

me wathcing this video after spending 200 millions on mbappe sadge :/
10:27 zealand... honey... you can do this by batch, just select them on your squad view and do them all at once
When you are in League Two don't forget to search for loans after you find free players that will promote you to a higher league in this season.
That's a freakin' banger
Ryback seal of approval, FEED HIM LOANS!

Doing a forest career 3rd season in and I've got 903 pound to spend not been given anything
how do you get it to give you a number values for world reputation mine only has good etc
