How I Find Players in Non-League in FM21 | Football Manager 2021 Transfers Guide

Okay... so I am FC Dallas. We have an an Affiliated Team in FC Dallas Jrs.

For Friendly Match it cost me 2.95K. Revenue should be 26.6K. That's 23K or so a Match, I'll take that.

And this is getting my Jrs a lot of Game Experience. It seems like a no-brainer. Make 23K each, get a stupid amount of Matches with the Jrs...

So what is the obvious negative I'm missing here? I've checked, and the better clubs leave about the same amount of Profit... so why is what I'm doing wrong (I assume it just can't be this easy).

played FM for years never knew that trick

You can have up to 60 trialist, and probably more.
The trick is to invite 30 trialists, then send all 30 to your reserve team. You can then invite 30 more trialists. I suppose if you have a U18 squad, you could send any 18 and under trialists there, and you then could invite in total, over 60 players.

Currently doing this at Portstewart in the Northern Ireland 3rd division.
You simply make sure you place the 30 best looking trialists on your senior roster.

Just put in the none league file into your folder lol. And you can play any team you want as they become playable and not just find the players

Aw me (James Taylor) isn’t good enough :(

How do you get so many offers for non league players? I can offer up like 10 of mine to clubs will all get zero offers. :(

I playing with non leauge team but when playing in championship we dead .we dont have good players for higher division

I got automatic promotion in my second season of Vanarama North using these tips. Great tips.

Excellent info. Thanks, Kev!

Good video. If I get promoted, what date does the new division star rating kick in please?. In Vanarama National, maybe going into League 2 ; so I want to sign L2 quality at least players`.

Top material

Will there be an FM22 version of this?

May Team report filter not consider "white stars"? What are those BTW?

Happy to scout for you on FM22. £5 million or less 5 star potential from a natural gold badge scouts.

After the DOF suggested players, you can just select them all and then offer trial. You don't have to go trough each one individually. Saves a lot of time

How do you get the squad list viewer like you have it? With the player ratings, wages etc?

Heres a great free tip for you lower league lovers,

*Go to the league table screen
*go to league above you at least 2 levels
*on each of the team right click on it,and choose get team report and assign your preferred scout
*this will get you a selected few players that the club are willing to let go to you for loan,plus a star rating as well
*try to get a loan that has no wage paid if u can,as it have will the most ideal scenario for ur financial
*another tip in the lower league is,wages are >>transfer budget,so always make sure u have + wage finances.

Happy playing 😀

I'm in my 32/33 season with bath, we just qualified for EC after we finished 6th in the prem last season.

Do you use the same strategy to sign players in tier 9 and below as you used here? I started in tier 11, won the league, won tier 10 in season 2, came second in tier 9 season 3 (only champions go up), and we're struggling in season 4. I can't seem to find any players better than what I've already got that are willing to sign for us. Any advice?

love this

Great video which will assist with my Grantham Town save.

Hey everyone, I'm curious to the see your best regens. Follow me and send me your top players 👉 IG : yourbestregens

playing in the northern Irish champion with Knockbreda, started with a wage budget just shy of 800 pound its my third season and its up to the high 800 pounds, still in the champion lol absolute nightmare trying to get decent players to get me out of the league, first time ever playing a FM game but I'm hooked and I love it, managed to get them to forth fighting for a playoff spot in my second season, but this season the we're back to struggling again, I'm just messing around with tactics trying to find something that'll give me an edge giving that the actual team Knockbreda is a underdog team and we still are but we get results we shoulded get, hopefully i can get promoted in the next 5 years...

will this work for league 2?

How do you sign so many players? Every time I offer contract & they accept, they just end up going somewhere else.

Awesome video for finding the players but I've tried this method with a number of clubs and, every time, each of the players I've negotiated contracts with have joined other clubs. I've yet to be able to get a single player to join the team I'm managing. Any further advice?

Need to watch this. Just come out on Xbox game pass and want to do a non league to legend myself

Please for the love of god, use SHIFT-CLICK and Mark all and then trial. My mouse arm hurts from just looking at you right-clicking each player separately.

This is a great video. Haven’t done a lower league save in years and this is by far the most helpful. Cheers Kev

Great video .. Thank you

Kev or anyone I don’t know how to give a player a trial can you guys help thanks



Edit never mind sorry lads

Yes !! I hoped you'd do something like this for a while, Thanks!

This man recruits like Mike Bassett 😁

Well I wish I knew this sooner!!! Just spent 2 irl days getting in over 300 trials that have all been useless and I do this for one position and get 3 4 star rated players. Insanely good and very helpful

Kev, what exactly is "realistic" about farming trialists at a higher rate than covid infecting care homes?

I’ve been playing for like 4 months & didn’t know you could ask you dof for suggestions lol. Thanks. Take my like

Useful stuff! I just jumped from a massive long career on FM17 to starting again on FM21, so this is really useful, especially down in the Isthmian League north with Coggeshall Town.
I've probably bought too many players and have exhausted the wage budget, but not even loaned anybody yet as I'm still in the first couple of weeks and there's no one available to loan yet.

Can you do the DOF suggestions on Xbox edition?

What is the plan after the first season if you get promoted? most people signed are on a 1 year deal. Do you find new players on second season or offer the old ones another 1 year deal?

Great Video! Thanks.

New to FM and loving it! Really like the vids been really helpful, playing on Xbox but can't find national teams 🤔

Kev's attempt to calm us down massively backfired and ended with the words "You either get promoted or sacked at the end of season 1"

You are amazing keep up!

I love this vid because I get an under the hood look of how Kev gets out of the VNL every year

Watched this, got all excited, went on FM21 touch and non of it applies 😔. Only version i can play as my 11 year only laptop sounds like it's going to blow up just loading normal FM21

Can I be stupid and ask where you got the facepack from?

A magician should never reveal his tricks....
