FM is so extremely random that you probably should do the summer transfer window then simulate to the end of the season 10 times for either path. Also, taking the strongest team is odd because you can probably win the league 8 times out of 10 without any transfers.
8:05 “Live footage of me huffing copium.” My understanding of FM is in the stage I would call pre-beginner, but you’re so energetic and funny that I actually watched the entire video! 😂 Thank you for the entertainment!
Would be interesting to do something similar with loading up you and the AI with the exact same team, any transfers forced through on the other save, and see who does better on the season.
First of all your videos are amazing and holds a perfect standard, thank you for entertaining us! And I also would like to ask you about your thoughts on the whole Saudi situation and how you think this will affect the future of football and FM, will Saudi buy all of our players who have a good reputation or what do you think?
I would postulate that it has nothing to do with the transfers in. You blew up the starting XI; dynamically that would do so much more than bringing in new players while the AI left the starting XI in place, made a few smaller roster moves, and boom.
Another classic reminder, as well, that Manchester United are one of the most overpowered teams in FM when playing against you. How can you go from 8th in 1 save to winning the league in the other????
Hey Ze any idea if FM24 is going to have a realistic dead wood Saudi option built in? I would like a free $600M to play with if I am any top team in the Prem
With smaller team, it wont be a close match. The 100mil will just buy anyone that can boost their strength. The $1 couldn't even win, cant sell anyone because their players is suck, then can't buy anyone because they dont have money. The perfect scenario is using mid to top (but not exactly the very top) team. Wheres managing funding actually matters. Top of the top it matter less because he can just sell players for money, the bottom it would be too much of a gap that he doesn't even have options or chance to win. Try Spurs or Liverpool.
@@refkiriswansyah2830 As someone who only plays two kinds of FM saves (journeyman and park-to-prem) I can tell you that in non-league football money is meaningless. Good scouting and pick up the best free agents - boom, you have a VNL-winning squad. There are very few players that would be willing to join you if you had the money. But then again, we're talking about wage budget and not transfer budget.
I'm confused. Why was there a need to sell and buy players? With no budget you could just use the existing squad and win the league. All that selling and buying just kills team cohesion. Or was selling loads part of the experiment?
I could be completely misunderstanding this, but I think he set himself the challenge of starting with one dollar and seeing what team he can build from that starting point?
I’m confused….. So you have a $1 transfer budget but with a club that has the most expensive team in football that you can just sell to give yourself an endless budget to play with? I may have missed something?
I've got a question probably not connected with the video. So I am in my Tottenham save in like 2026 summer transfer window and I've spent most of my transfer budget with only like £20M left from some late sale. I wanted to buy some more players and my scouts recommended me Jurrien Timber to replace Romero who left and obviously this was impossible due to lack of funds but then I clicked the option to interact with board about buying a player who was worth £76M and Chairman decided to takover negotiations over him and bought him for me. And somehow the club managed to buy a player worth £76M with £20M available in transfer bugdet. So my question is, is this transfer gonna have a drastical effect on my transfer budget in the future transfer windows ?
So from now on you will always wear Man City t-shirt to show us your true love towards the one, and only club? :D An alternative may be getting a t-shirt with the photo of the owners of Man City. Capitalism for the win. Option number three is Man City T-Shirt and the printed photo of the owners on the desk where you record, with you showing us their magnificent visages to our eyes? :D
did you leave the team pre selected when you went on holiday? cause that's what might have killed your ability to win. I think that if you did this while doing the annoying task of being there before every match and auto selecting the team, and simulating the team (And being there for crisis meetings), you'd have won.
I don't get how Zealand wins everything with small clubs but still manages to ruin Man City lol. Sold great players for cheap and bought other ones that were worse (although Musiala is amazing)
Wikipedia says: The club was formed in 1926. They are based in Bulawayo. They are first in the Zimbabwe Premier soccer league. Nicknames (I thought nicknames were usually shorter than the actual team name): “Bosso, Bosso Tshilamoya, Amahlolanyama uMantengwane Ezimnyama ngenkani.” “ founded in 1926 as lions football club, composed mainly of boys born in Makokoba (Bulawayo’s oldest township) by two of the Ndebele King Lobengula’s grandsons, Albert and Rhodes, who were sons of Njube. In 1936, the players changed the name to Matebeleland Highlanders football club.”
On a previous Man U save i had, i deliberately signed players on future clauses and the team was repeatedly in hundreds of millions of pounds debt, but those sponsorship deals kept coming, feels cheating lol
What is this database? I can see it starts in the 2023/2024 season, and I really want a database that starts in the new season. Does anybody have a link to the database.
Its almost as if the AI didn't know that the terms were a 1 year save where you can just buy 37 year olds that can do a job on a 1 year deal. Weird. Think anyone with even a peripheral knowledge of FM could do this challenge.
Use this as an ‘I made Man City worse’ button
Please Do This With Manchester United
Don’t know how you use outdated face cutout’s 😂
Barca messi?
Try it the other way around, give AI 1 dollar and yourself 100M ;)
Try doing this with Betis. The squad is better than their reputation and have no money, so improving the team in 1 season is hard
Good to see that FM is realistic and shows how La Liga president Tebas is Handicapping his own Clubs... Look how trash the offers from Madrid were😂
love the chaotic energy on this video, but it makes sense it didn't go so well after the transfers probably killed the team cohesion

Thank you for the entertainment!
How about Luton Town? Try and see if you or the ai can keep them up in the prem.
I'd love to see you do this with a League Two team..... Can FM instincts beat pure money in a much lower level of football
Saw your tweet about the team from Faroe, next save could be you managing a team from country whose team haven't qualified for group stages.
Would be interesting to do something similar with loading up you and the AI with the exact same team, any transfers forced through on the other save, and see who does better on the season.
I love how this vid inadvertently exposes how flawed the AI's negotiation is in the game
YO ZEALAND IS WEARING A HIGHLANDERS JERSEY🔥🔥SHOUT OUT FROM ZIMBABWE

Do it with Barcelona! Sure that tangle of financials would be fun to tackle
Will never see more realistic game in my lifetime
Another classic reminder, as well, that Manchester United are one of the most overpowered teams in FM when playing against you. How can you go from 8th in 1 save to winning the league in the other????
I feel you on the psg negotiations. I negotiate 1m extra and the offer is immediately withdrawn.
Use Brighton, but the rule is you're not allowed to spend over $25 million on players in the transfer window
I would be interested in seeing this with Ajax, I think they are in need of a rebuild.
Hey Ze any idea if FM24 is going to have a realistic dead wood Saudi option built in? I would like a free $600M to play with if I am any top team in the Prem
Imagine bringing in Pepe and Wijnaldum and feeling like you've improved City's current squad....
And current messi does not improve the top teams anymore.
Yeah I was so confused by this experiment. Like if they made no sales, they'd still have a better squad
Newcastle would be interesting, the selling aspect would be extremely challenging!
It will have been cooler if they were in the same save. Like a Man City vs a Men Ziti with a shield draw in paint.
Man City vs Men Town
@2:13 how is there the option to adjust budget ? makes no sense
One thing is Man City, but it could be fun to see on a lower ranked team, or a lower ranked league too.
With smaller team, it wont be a close match.
The 100mil will just buy anyone that can boost their strength. The $1 couldn't even win, cant sell anyone because their players is suck, then can't buy anyone because they dont have money.

How do you have the updated data of players that moved in this transfer window?
what is this mod that makes players 3 times cheaper than they actually are on fm lol, except for dybala he does have that release clause

I may have missed something?
And the Ai has 100m and the whole squad so the ai has 100 million extra, thats the point
Fun concept!
do one with juve. they literally on $1 this window
Do this with Vancouver Whitecaps! For the memes!
So basically Manchester City vs Manchester United management 😂😭
Why not try United. With all the underutilized players we have like van de Beek, you could turn a pretty penny
How do you sim games in fm23?
Zealand im loving the Highlanders Jersey 🔥
Bro you should do Arsenal for the next one. Really interesting team for the challenge.
The AI should have the $1 and see what happens.
I've got a question probably not connected with the video.
So I am in my Tottenham save in like 2026 summer transfer window and I've spent most of my transfer budget with only like £20M left from some late sale.

So my question is, is this transfer gonna have a drastical effect on my transfer budget in the future transfer windows ?
The context i needed
You had the Man Utd with the Qataris, the AI got the Man Utd that is still with the Glazers 😂😂
Legend, what about with Barça? loads of £££££ in that sqaud to play with?
Is this the transfer update which is this years?
Lool your british accent is spot on. Best ive heard from a yank.
Why is the charity shield against united?
Glasgow Rangers. Can you do a better rebuild than current manager Michael Beale. Probably 😢
do Luton town!!!!
messi for 10 million, seems legit. Even if it is because of his age, his name recognition makes your team incredibly profitable.
2:35 I love how Zealand’s British accent is better than mine, an actual British person.
So from now on you will always wear Man City t-shirt to show us your true love towards the one, and only club? :D

Option number three is Man City T-Shirt and the printed photo of the owners on the desk where you record, with you showing us their magnificent visages to our eyes? :D
He should do this with Chelsea
Recommendation: do the same with Dortmund and have them win the Bundes
Annual wage budgets?!? 😭
Do the monthly meme video already
did you leave the team pre selected when you went on holiday? cause that's what might have killed your ability to win. I think that if you did this while doing the annoying task of being there before every match and auto selecting the team, and simulating the team (And being there for crisis meetings), you'd have won.
These are very helpful tips, thank you!
I don't get how Zealand wins everything with small clubs but still manages to ruin Man City lol. Sold great players for cheap and bought other ones that were worse (although Musiala is amazing)
Do This with Birmingham City
We've got new American Owners why not a New American Manager
Zealand, my man, you made the Man City roster worst with your transfers.
You sold Bernardo and Alvarez way below their value !
What is Zealand actual favorite team?
Do chelsea next :)
What kit is that zea?
I’ve been reading through the comments, and it seems to be a team called Highlanders from Zimbabwe!
Wikipedia says:
The club was formed in 1926.
They are based in Bulawayo.
They are first in the Zimbabwe Premier soccer league.
Nicknames (I thought nicknames were usually shorter than the actual team name):
“Bosso, Bosso Tshilamoya, Amahlolanyama uMantengwane Ezimnyama ngenkani.”
“ founded in 1926 as lions football club, composed mainly of boys born in Makokoba (Bulawayo’s oldest township) by two of the Ndebele King Lobengula’s grandsons, Albert and Rhodes, who were sons of Njube. In 1936, the players changed the name to Matebeleland Highlanders football club.”
@@dronesclubhighjinks damn bro thank you 👍👍
@@LiamAt15 you’re very welcome! I think he said the sponsor of this particular video sells kind of obscure and difficult to find kit. 😎
@@dronesclubhighjinks ah I’ll give the video a second viewing to see, much appreciated my friend 👍
On a previous Man U save i had, i deliberately signed players on future clauses and the team was repeatedly in hundreds of millions of pounds debt, but those sponsorship deals kept coming, feels cheating lol
ive never played as Man City. Do the board really just give you another 98 million to spend in January 😂
Release the MEMES!!!
What is this database? I can see it starts in the 2023/2024 season, and I really want a database that starts in the new season.
Does anybody have a link to the database.
Just google "fm23 update database"
same here, i want that
Could you take some bottom prem team, only get UK and Ireland players and see if u can outperform the AI
be fun with luton
Team cohesion...
I would argue you made the team worse with Messi and Pepe and Wijnaldum Leviosa
You got me to look up whether there actually is a player called Wijnaldum Leviosa! 😂
Selling Bernardo for anything is where you lost
Do Barcelona
Try this with psg
this isn't realistic. you have got that leeds player phillips playing. he doesn't play for man city.
I'm so confused. Are these in different saves?
one save Z manages Man City, other is by AI.
@cv_luke while I appreciate the effort, you somehow missed what I was asking. The answer is yes, two separate saves.
@@jondubourg5390 Well you're pretty thick for asking a question that logically can only have one answer.
@@drillz1288could clone city and have 2 in 1 save
@drillz1288 well I assume you could clone a team and have it in the same league...
Celtic!
do it with spurs. I dare you
100 million not enough ..that is 1 player sill vid
Skin?
I actually can see that zeeland doesn’t understand football
Do arsenal
Leeds United
highlanders 🇿🇼
Instead of simulating 😂 😂 😂
Just go on holiday for a day using your set tactics 😂 😂 😂
That simulate option is shit
😂🤣
you need to learn how to prenouce Pepe and Pepê
Its almost as if the AI didn't know that the terms were a 1 year save where you can just buy 37 year olds that can do a job on a 1 year deal. Weird. Think anyone with even a peripheral knowledge of FM could do this challenge.
Ronaldo is the goat
whos here before 100 views??
WEEEE first comment :) Zealand top :D
