Crazy Tip to Get Wonderkids First

THAT 80'S BACKGROUND CHARACTER REACTION!

Video start at 5.00

..but if they're on the shortlist it informs you if someone makes an offer? I just shortlist pretty much everyone scouts find until they're fully scouted

Why arent you teaching people to play with atribute masking off, and why arent you teaching people how to use search parameters in the blooody game? Its not cheating. Its just time consuming but seven times more efective.

Siyabonga Mofokeng is probably the most accurate South African name I've seen on FM.

I've used this piece of magic to boom AND BUST
......




All over your mom

Love that you scouting southern Africa. Would love to see someone try win Africa champions league with someone like Polokwane City

Fariñez?? In spain fariña stands for cocaine and the -ez ended surnames means son of so that guy is literally crack

I once signed a Brazilian RB for 50k (out of my 85k budget) in the Scottish championship because he was wanted by PSG. he won 7 Ballon d'ors for me

Don't know about you all
But in my save PSG are the biggest bottlers possible
They have Mbappe and Haaland with Camavinga and a computer generated player who scores 20 goals a season and is 21
It's 10 seasons in the save PSG are yet to win even one UCL
Ffs Stuttgart have somehow won it 😭😭

Like every transfer I do is one week of scouting. From less than a mile to 30 mil transfers lol.

how do you have so many scouts im allowed 4 and can only look at uk

I always feel like I need to do more when playing FM, then Zealand makes a video doing something I have been doing that I picked up myself. I set scouts out to find only the highest potential youth players around the world and there is nothing better than seeing "compensation - £XYk".

In my current Wolfsburg save I've been picking up a lot of these deals and filling out the U19s squad and B team. Even when they come in with 3-4 potential I'm okay with it because invariably they have cost below 1mil and I know there is profit in them.

The biggest success I've had is picking up a Dutch wonderkid from Ajax aged 15 for £1.1mil. He's yet to turn 17 but he has some great attributes already, and is a very technical CM/Winger. Another is Jose Quiroga a CM/CAM from Argentina who cost me £675k and is (after a 6 month loan) pushing to be a starter for me after selling my AP to Hertha for £70mil (£60mil profit from 2 years earlier, after Barca listed him)

When I played as Lyon every season I would get so many blind buys I had to stop myself. Now that I play in the Premier League there's a 6 U21 cap per season so it doesn't work anymore. Does make the game a little more fun, not having a ready-made wonderkid to replace every player you sell.

Yep that’s exactly what I would do when scouting. I just switched the filter to show wanted players first. If the big clubs want him, I try to close the deal as quickly as possible before they sign the player.

BARAJAS AND ZIVKOV BOTH 4,5 ★ REGENS THAT I HAVE AND NOT PSG 😹😹😹😹

Oh no, the zoomers say "Steph" instead of "Kobe"?!?!?!

Love how you got stoked for your roommate. Congrats for her

So how does one 'wire the world'? What instructions do you give your scouts? To begin with how do you choose your scouts? I dont think I've ever been suggested a player like those you've mentioned in those price brackets!

What I got from this video: South Africa will become World Cup Winners in your save

My pipeline of Brazilian youth to 50m sales ended up bagging my club close to 1billion in profit. Currently have 700m in the bank as its so steady.

I'm new to FM and I think this game is super complicated! I recently stumbled on your channel/videos and I've been binge-watching ever since... Your content is extremely useful for newbies like me! Keep posting great content.

Very subtle... But Zealand appears to be an 'ape'! Nice big short reference, haha

I usually get my contract offer in fast when there’s interest in the player, then if they accept my offer and reject any others, i delay the transfer while finishing enough of the scout report to see if confirming the transfer is worth it.

My super dark art trick is that if you can sign someone on a free/pre-contract, your DOF and their agent will have suggested squad statuses when you approach to sign them. If their agent wants squad status but your DOF wants future prospect, that's a pass. But if both want important player, I usually sign the person, even with 0% knowledge, if it's an 18 year old. Also asking agents about availability is a welcome addition to this year's game but almost functions like an instant scout, if you're willing to trust the agent's assessment, and seems a bit cheesy almost.

Was with Reggina, just got promoted into Serie A and saw this one lad from Sud-Tirol called Pierpaolo Morat who seemed to have great potential. I didn't expected him to play this seasons as he was only 17, but tired of my shitty strikers never scoring, i decided to give him a chance, and oh god was I right. This mad lad ended up scoring 28 goals in his first season at the club and even his first season in professional football. bought him for 130k, might sell him for around 70M.

Signed a guy from York in my Barnet save for 1.8k at 16 after coming up in the scouting centre. Was top scorer for me from League 2 to the Prem and last night banged in 4 goals against Crystal Palace. In the summer I turned down a 70mil bid as he is worth more if he keeps us in the Prem. Signed him after a single scout report noting his 5 star potential and it was the best decision I have ever made in my life, even outside of FM21 and I have kids.

Am in a current transfer window where i have lost a striker, a left winger and a centre back... All 21, 21 and 22 years respectively to Man City , United and Liverpool on negotiations ..... I offered them larger wages , higher squad status and they still didnt come to me despite me finishing 4 th on back to back seasons with Telford FC

I do this all the time. Many busts obviously. but also some players that were loaned out for years, never made an impact and finally sold for a fortune. Impact players from this strategy for me were mostly defenders and a goalkeeper. My offense can score and the young guys at the back develop.
Once I went fast on an 18yr Belgian wonderkid. Popped up, 19.5mil, never seen before, looked good. Took a shot, played every game. When I sold him, I checked: 199 CA, 200 PA. Then there was sadness, and a lot of cash.
Quick decisions and being early can really pay off.

I got a challenge for you bro. If you could only scout from 5 countries what would they be? and can you make a save of young undiscovered talent from those countries only? My 5 are, Kosovo, Georgia, Algeria, Spain and Brazil. I'll submit my save. Spoiler alert: They're all technically gifted ballers lol

Sorry Zealand I missed what you were saying in the first half of this video because I couldn't stop laughing at the name "MOFOKENG" 😂😂😂😂😭

Do stuff like youth facilities, coaching staff or mentoring groups help players to develop into their full potential or the extra white stars are misjudging from your scouts ?

Greatest story of this for me was FM18. Carlos Castro, a January deadline signing from Costa Rica. £35k. 3 1/2 years later he’s got 2 Prem golden boots and broken the club scoring record. Greatest punt I’ve ever taken

A 12 minute video to say "dont be afraid to gamble on youngsters if you can afford it" lol

Hey i was wondering does anyone here know if there's a person that creates custom kits ?

Luke Edwards gang

How come you didn't show Luke Edwards? I'm disappointed...

Didnt go so well with Luke Edwards did it Z.... KEKW

LUKE EDWARDS

the fact he didn't show luke edwards in this video shows how much of an underrated superstar he is

MUCH LOVE FROM SOUTH AFRICA!!!!!! btw love the way you pronounce south african names lol

You are so right about 🇨🇴 in my FM19 save I found a 5 star potential 19 year old capped for them for a release clause of under 6 million at premier league level.

You should see my Leeds utd 2002 save...lol

Once my team starts getting north of 10M in the transfer budget, I always bring some 15-20 players aged 17 or younger every transfer window. Most of them end up in nothing but even those can be sold for a profit because they all cost me less than 100k. But there is always someone in the bunch that is good enough for the 1st team and even becomes home grown at club. Just do constant searches for players bellow 17 and make bids on anyone with a scout rating of 70 or higher that looks interesting enough. Guaranteed to find a gem almost every season and no risk whatsoever because even if you sell one of those lesser guys for 5M you already made your money back with interest, even accounting for wages.

Do you have to load the league into your game to search these players?

i got 4.5 star potential Australian winger named Zmood. Save to say that it was a zmood move

You're scouting so many South African wonderkids lmao. And oh my days you are butchering our names. The "X" in Devon Xulu is a click and not a "Z" like you would say xylophone btw.

once had a Danish central Defender on a free in I think League One (maybe even Vanorama National), who pretty much got me promoted a couple of times up to the championship (with him still at 4 star current ability), and I think that is were my save file went corrupted. Never to be seen again. Will never know how he would've done in the PL, or even if we could've kept him at the club..

Siyabonga Mofokeng has to be from South Africa lmao. I know so many people with either that name or surname. Glad to see my fellow South Africans going international
