Hey Matt, as a reasonably seasoned FM player (and a bit of a tactic connoisseur), I'm noticing a few things that might help you out a bit. As a starter of the game, you're really quite good, I'm sure your previous Fifa experience has allowed you to make the transition easier. With regards to recruitment, you'll often find that PL players are VERY overpriced for the quality of player you get. Looking in Portugal, France and Italy are some really good players, which will be available for much less. In addition, these players will be more difficult to sign later on, with an imminent Brexit requiring work permits for them. Obviously, you'll want to get in as many of these guys as possible before it becomes impossible to sign them. In your tactic, I see you're playing an AM behind an advanced forward with inside forwards in support. This is really quite a good system in FM -- it allows your midfielder to augment the midfield, and hand the ball off to the IFs who will carry it forward. However, with a player like Almiron, I'd consider using him as a second striker in your 4231 behind a Poacher. What this will allow is the Poacher to put pressure on the opposition defense, and hold up the ball for Almiron to run ahead of him. That way, you can involve Almiron (as your best player) much more and have the poacher make late runs into the box in case of cutbacks, rebounds or even dragging away defenders. The other option you could use is changing your formation slightly to a 4123, and use Almiron as a false 9 or trequatista. Then you would be able to switch the two attacking CMs to a Mezzala and a DLP. This will allow the inside forwards more freedom to run ahead of Almiron, and he will be there to either dribble at the defense (which will be distracted with the inside forwards driving at them), or hand the ball off to an onrushing inside forward for an easy goal. I'd convert the defensive midfielder to an anchor or a DM on support (depending on who you are playing). With the DM on support, I'd utilize Almiron as a F9, since you will already have more players in the attack, and don't necessarily want too many people directly attacking the box. The DM on support will push forward as an extra midfield option, and will allow you to "camp" in the opposition half. This allows your team to patiently seek an opening against weaker opposition. An anchor man will allow more security to your backline against tough opposition, and will make the transition much more difficult for the opposition to start counter attacks. With this, however, you will lose some midfield muscle, and so you will want to maximize movement up front, making the trequatista perfect for dropping off or driving forward. It is for this reason trequatistas have to be very mentally strong players -- they need to know whether to drop off or continue attacking, which Almiron is. If you do want to use this system, you should switch the wingback on the side of the Mezzala to an inverted wingback on defend (something I would recommend anyway, and I'll discuss this more in my next point). An inverted wingback will drive into midfield, and create space for attackers to move forward. In your current 4231 system, you have Shelvey -- a fairly attacking player in a fairly attacking role, an inside forward and a wingback on attack. In the transition, you're going to find that this side turns into a bermuda triangle -- your players are going to go missing, and create easy counterattacking chances for the opposition. With an inverted wingback on defend, your wingback will fill the gap in the midfield held by Shelvey, providing a passing option, and allowing your players to get forward with more security. Alternatively, if you do not wish to utilize IWBs, you could switch Shelvey to a carrilero, who will not get as far forward, but will provide an effective midfield transition, sitting slightly wider and shuttling the ball from your DLP to your AM. Since I have a bit of a love affair with IWBs, I'd still use one here on support duty, and tell him to overlap. This would allow for him to select the best option, whether staying wide, or cutting inside to drive into the channels rather than being a rather one dimensional wingback. With your GK instructions in the tactic, personally, I prefer having none at all. With most teams in the PL enabling "Prevent short GK distribution", your goalkeeper will find it hard to distribute the ball to your center backs, leading to possible mistakes at the back. I prefer not giving my goalkeeper any guidance on where to distribute, as often, he is the one with the best view of the pitch and can make his own decisions. Sometimes, CPU teams will notice your goalkeeper distributing to a certain area, and mark those players, which is why you should allow the goalkeeper to select his own areas to which to distribute. Lastly, you should not rely too much on the circles stating players' "role suitability". Those are created by your assistant, and very rarely illustrate the players' best role. The best way to see if a player fits a role is to enter the player's profile and use the dropdown to select the role in which you wish to play the player. It will highlight the necessary attributes for that role, and give a better indication of his real suitability. BustTheNet, a great FM resource, refers to the assistant as the Assman, because the suggestions he gives you will often be quite asinine. Anyway, these are just my suggestions on how you can improve your tactic, you obviously do not have to follow them. I'm really looking forward to watching your progression through the save, and I think you will truly understand the satisfaction when you win the champions league with your team. It definitely never gets old!

Mate you’ve cheated by adding a new chairman 😂🙈. Should have left it with Ashley and work with limited resources

He never said it was going to be realistic, this can work as a what if scenario, what if Khalid bought the club, separating it from other gameplays and the real timeline.

First signing should definitely be joelinton as it has happened and Newcastle are linked to Alan Saint Maximin

I've only watched the first 3 minutes so far Matt but I think you should've let the takeover happen naturally in game. And just to let you know, never expect a lot of money when you start a save on FM. It starts at the beginning of the season when irl all teams have done all their business, so its realistic that you'd have little to spend. Love that you're doing FM!

bring in Joelinton as they have bought him in real life.

Get Joelinton as he recently signed for Newcastle

Just a tip, you can click on numbers when making offers. So for example if someone has minimum release clause of 10 million, instead of manually typing, you can just click on that number where it says how much his clause is, and it will put that number in your offer.

This save has come at a perfect time! Just taken over a championship Newcastle a few years in the future and just got them promoted!

MGH's energy seemed depleted doing Fifa in the last 2-3 years, i'm happy we can have a new career on FM that we can get behind because you can wonders with the depth of this game

He’s literally Steve Bruce 😂

Imagine using the editor to cheat by getting a takeover that never even happened. Shocking

Matt loving your content as always. One tip I would recommend you not to use the in game editor. Would not want people to accuse you of cheating on the game. Also manually set training for all your players. Make sure they are training and improving the right areas.I would recommend you see and support other FM content creators. Two FM creators I think you may enjoy are Bood FM and Loki Doki. Hope to see you more involved in the FM community. On behalf of the FM community welcome to the family.

See if you can sign Joelinton

Me: reads some comments before video loads Damn these guys are toxic Also me 1min into video: lul

Hi Matt, I've been watching you for quite a few years now and I enjoy your content, but as a Football Manager fan, I can't stand you using the in-game editor. You'll never learn or get any better if you keep using it to get more money, a new owner, etc. Congrats on your wedding btw!

So true

Then why not take Sessegnon as a left mid/left wing , if not left back To big of a talent to pass on him

Waiting for mgh to realise onyekuru won’t get a work permit like...

I voted Newcastle cause it was gonna be a struggle with Mike Ashley :( btw if you dident know financial take ower can hapen in game by playing like if you did the same

This is honestly way more enjoyable than Fifa

You need to sign up an assistant manager and have them run your first team training

Bring in joelinton as he has signed irl

Holy shit dude how many saves are you juggling bruh 😂

Sign joelinton considering Newcastle just signed him in rl

my god, you're terrible at this game, you've overpaid for this player!

JOELINTON

Congratulations on the marriage, that's big!

Take a look at orbelin Pineda he can play as a winger and center midfield

Can't wait for more of these. Gonna be brilliant.

All players in spain have to have a release clause as part of their contract

If you select percentage of next sale and percentage of profit of next sale and then remove and exclude from negotiations before placing your bid then the other team can’t add it. Found it a good habit to get in to

One tip I can give you, >600 hours, you DONT need a goalie on the bench, only a little thing

Look at Allan Saint-Maximin as a marquee signing and a striker to take a look at is Alfredo Morelos from Rangers (pretty sure he speaks English too as he is in Scotland)

Great video, absolutely buzzing for this series fella

sign Christian Pavon for the wings. Cost me 3m at Arsenal and was the top assister with 14 assists for me in season 1

The most waited video of your channel this year. FINALLY !

because you made ihenacho a key player, it allowed the agent to ask for more wages, based on a higher role for ihenacho. the lower the role, the lower the wages.

Congrats on ur marriage Matt! Looking forward to this series!

MGH, will you sign Joelinton (realistic signing and a real life signing) cause I bet he'd be a good player in-game too

Yesssss it’s like what I was mentioning to you on stream GREAT VID MAN

23:02 Michael Jackson is back as an assistant manager

Yes thank you Matt my boredom is resolved

Been asking for this for waaaay to long, years upon years. Glad to see you doing one with a fun team as Newcastle!

Get Joelinton and Saint-maxamin from Nice as he will probably be Newcastle' next signing

Thank god, if been busy and haven’t been able to see your streams. This has made look forward to something. Love you MGH!!

Buy Connor Goldson from Rangers, 10.5m also buy Jack Butland 9.5m, really handy signings to start off with as Butland is a powerhouse in goal.

Yess, been waiting for an fm career mode on your channel

FINALLY!!! Love to see you finally commiting to a “real” manager role! I Think this could be you new thing! Cant wait to follow🙌🏻

NEVER CALL A FM SAVE A CAREER MODE

Daniel Hoyes the mode he is on is literally a career mode

Ollie Watkins from Brentford is a young cheap inside forward that would suit your left wing spot

Welldone mate

I was literally praying that you would do a FM series on KZread. Keep up the great work!

Yessss excited for this series

Finally been wating for him to do a series on FM19

I'd definitely make a bid for Sassegnon. As both DL and AML he can cover two of your weak spots and over a long season it is a good thing to have a a good amount of flexibility. Also I can recommend Vassoman (sp?), a very young Wingback that plays well on both sides.

Get joelinton

Only me who miss fifa career mode from MGH? Ik FM is much better but i enjoy his fifa videos more

And saint maximum

gonna love this series

Matt I don’t want to sound like everyone and say your overpaying but on contracts you can definitely cut back on parts. For example with bonuses drop them down a thousand or so and if they come back raise them slightly, this can apply to wages and signing on fee etc aswell. Just saves you that extra bit and allows you to try out negotiating a little bit more.

Joelinton of course! ASM heavily linked

Congratulations on the wedding! 🎉

just bring joelinton in on the editor

In addition to looking at their stats you should really pay attention to preferred player moves/player traits. It makes a massive difference when you are trying to play a system and your players have traits that naturally work against whatever it is you are asking of them

Sign Joelinton! He’s just signed for Newcastle IRL for £40m!

Even sessengnon as a left side winger for 9mil is an amazing deal

What’s with that Nazi Salute😂😂🤦‍♂️

It's so interesting to watch you. Great video.

Sessegnon for £9M is a steal. How about Tierney for about the same?

I really like this career mode. And congtatulations with your marriage

Love the video keep FM going

Good luck lad, you'll need it!

Bro I appreciate your content

MGH you should use the work the space skin,it's designed for KZreadrs because the text is a little bigger and way easier for us to read

good for you for starting something other then fifa carrer mode, great stuff

Yasss , was hoping for this

Loving this !!

Waiting for the tactics! Good job so far mate👍

congratulations on the marriage bro

I am brand new to football manager so thanks for putting out this series :)

Dwight McNeil might be a good shout for a left winger for the future, from Burnley

Chuffed that you're doing an FM career! 👍

Sell the players like Joselu that actually left in real life and bring in Joelinton

Petition for mgh to do a video without a SnapBack on

just a tip, when you go to sign a player, to place a bid (either release clause or valuation) you can just click the release clause or valuation number and it will put it in instead of having to manually out it in. You could've just clicked 925,000 in Morilla and it would have put it in

Is Adam Lallana a realistic signing for Newcastle United???

Congrats mate!

As a toon fan and a hardcore fm player this is fun to watch.

holy shit glad you got married been watching you since fifa 13 I think or 14 but congrats!

Congratulations Matt!!!

Get joellington. Change almiron to shadow striker or change his individual training to attacking midfielder.

Last thing players with work permits. Be very careful when buying them because it’s done on the transfer fee, player profile and other stuff and one this game it’s a pain in the arse. Just be wary incase you can’t get one. One mine I have fucked that up so I have 3 good signing who I can’t use because of the work permits
