Un nouveau chapitre
Shortly after starting the project about the multi-team save, I realized this was not completely something for me. It was all fun, but mentally I struggled to focus on multiple clubs at the same time as I will always «the one favorite club» which I would invest much more time to improve it. Clube…

Going Global
2040 – that is the year I have managed to reach on my latest #FM20 journey. After staying around 13 years at Racing Santander in Spain to bring them to the top of Europe, to finally win the UCL in 2032, I have moved to another continent to play for a brief number of clubs: 2032 - 2034: Everton de…

Goal Chains – postprocessing an amazing book
Starting the save at Everton got me excited. It was something completely new, as in term of FM I haven't played in Southamerica on a proper save, and actually never managed in Chile. I was always managing in big countries/leagues like Brazil or Argentina. Chile was something different, as it's a…

(For some) a surprising move
After managing Real Racing Club de Santander, S.A.D, for some seasons. There were actually 12 of them, before I managed to win the UCL in the dying miuntes, just before overtime. Time went by flying and I was all fun. I felt I needed a change. Don't get me wrong bringing a club from a bad financial…

FM Twenty
With this year's FM Edition I struggled way more to pick a club than in other years. My first Intention was to do something different that year as I've already managed in Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain and Holland over the last few years. One of the first ideas was going to Austria, but in the…

How to remove percentages of a future transfer
Personally, I hate when the selling club requests a Percentage from a next sell as probably I will sell players for big money and on a long run it will probably be better to pay a bit more when buying the player instead of giving 20% or more from a future transfer. The problem is that these clauses…

keeping it up
A lot of time has passed since I released the last blog post. I was playing a lot of FM during the last two month and I managed to play over 6 seasons. Thanks to that I'm now in the 10th season as AZ Alkmaar manager. Actually, there weren't any ground-breaking changes in my save. We kept on winning…

A circle of AZ
After we finished our second consecutive season as Dutch champions, the transfer started with a huge offer from the UK. West Ham showed up with an offer of 20M, including 40% of the profit from the next sale, with additional clauses increasing the transfer deal up to 25.5M for Alexander Isak: What a…

Affirmation Time
After some amazing results in the first 12 months at the AFAS Stadion, including the first league title since 2009 a Dutch Semi-Final qualification, and just losing out to a really strong AC Milan in the 1st Knockout round of the Europa League the time to affirm the amazing results has come for the…

De Kaaskoppen
"From wonderkids to world-class" with that small statement Sports Interactive launched the release of the latest version of the Football Manager with a lovely trailer, maybe even one of the best from the last few years. But wonderkids aren’t just something for trailers, my goal is to have a fair…

Restructure scouting
Some of the guys who are following my #FMSlack channel might have already noticed, that at the time I released the blog post about managing expectations I wasn’t managing Valencia anymore. Sorry for all the confusions I've caused! Actually, I left Valencia after the second seasons with a surprising…

Managing Expectations
After the last save at Betis Sevilla, which ended in a quite harsh way after managing the first treble in the club history. So, I decided to start this blogging save with Valencia CF as in general I really enjoyed it so much to manage in Spain. In general there are so many interesting teams like…

10 Años
It’s been a long time since content was on this site. In the meantime, I was playing like an addict. 10 years or over 3650 days have passed since Nestor Subiat had joined Betis Sevilla. But what has happened since then? Subiat is a now a club Legend, alongside with his players Mikel Barbero, Gaston…

La Magia vuelve
36 of the total 38 games have been played of the 17/18 season. The supporters of the Verdiblancos were living their dream: 2 games before the season was coming to an end, they were lying on a wonderfully 3rd place. A 3rd place that would have seen them qualifying directly to UCL Group Stage.…

Preparing Season 1
Just after joining Betis Sevilla on a lovely 3th of July 2017, one of my first actions, after the mandatory introduction by the president, was to meet up with my Assistant Manager Eder Sarabia. I was shocked when he introduced me to the first team staff at the club, it was so tiny. There were only…

Onboarding
The season 2017/18 will be just the third season in La Liga after Betis managed an instant return from Segunda División in the season 2014/2015 after being relegated the season before. After the promotion Los Béticos managed to secure a 10th and 15th place. So, where do we plan to finish in our…

Los Béticos
Normally I rarely redo a same team in Football Manager except some of my real life favorite teams, but now it's time for a comeback for me. Back in the time I enjoyed the save on FM13 with Los Béticos so much, that Nestor Subiat will be joining Real Betis Balompié for FM18. My first thoughts were to…

De donde saliste? (Where you from)
Which club (or regions) have brought up the most players for the senior squad of La Albiceleste, the Argentine National team? Do the big clubs of Buenos Aires like River Plate and Boca Juniors dominate in the current National team like they have done in the league? No, they don't. As you can see in…

Money Making
In FM16 and FM17 and a tried to reproduce the financial success I had with Barcelona in FM13 (having over 2 billions on the bank). As Barcelona did make a profit of around 200 million every season in case I didn't spend it all on new players, it was quite easy to so much money on the bank. Achieving…

Los Albicelestes 1.2: Doubling the blue and white
After some successful football in the first months as manager at Malaga we reached the winter break on a 3rd place. After a two-week break, it took us to play against Villareal in the 5th round of the Spanish Cup (after beating Valladolid one round earlier). Unluckily we lost the game on penalties…

Adapting to new Roles
I think every Football Manager out there has tried to retrain a certain player to a additional player role in his footballing career. Reasons can be to make sure newly signed players fit the own tactical formation or you want to add some player roles in order to have some backups when injuries occur…

Les Gones 05: Money & Medals
Isn't Money and Medals all we desire as as Football Managers in a long term save, besides amazing Regens? At Lyon we don't have much money nor did we win big titles so far, but this season there as been a change. The first words are not going to be about the beloved Olympique Lyonnais, more I want…

Les Gones 04: One Season Done
12 months have passed away since I started the save at Olympique Lyonnais and I think it's time for a short review of the season. The first months at the Parc de Prince of the season couldn't start be better. After we did all the transfers, like mentioned in the last blog we headed to our first…

Les Gones 01: Introduction
I'm really excited about the new project for Football Manager 17, as it will be at a club or even a league I've never managed . In my view one of the most exciting parts of FM is to develop young players from your own youth intake or the ones that have been brought to your own club at a very early…
