Beginner’s Guide to FOOTBALL MANAGER 26 - Start Your FM26 Save the Right Way!

I came here in the hope of getting to grips with 26. As a lifelong player since Champ Man 98/99, I have found FM26 to be the absolute worst. I haven't given up though. Will give it a fifth attempt...

I know not all options will be the same fro PC and console of course, but I'm a bit concerned about the coaching philosophy section. That's an integral part to a manager, yet on console I've either skipped that somehow, or that section isn't available on console which I find really strange, can you or anyone here confirm if this is correct please?

Where’s the video for the custom database size?

@jhunnyx263

this is really useful as although i’ve played FM before fm26 is still really tricky to get by

@moze2324
@

anybody know where the squad planner is in 2026

@gavinbillington7193
@

I picked unemployed on my save. Probably shouldn’t have done as it was my first ever game. I did get a job in Wales. After accepting that and pressing continue the game crashed. I am on an iPad. I did it a few times. Always got the same club, crashed every time. I am now go to quick start following your recommendations

@bazcurtis178

Warning: You should not set up with real world and locked transfer window if you play in lower leagues because it will be locked there too, even though the transfer window should be open. I'm in Enterprise South and can't sign anyone, not even free agents, because of "No transfer activity is allowed in this transfer window", whatever "this transfer window" is.

@brakara360
@

On the transfer mode, I think they should have a 4th option that is a combination of Real World and Your World. So, players start at the clubs they were at, at your start date. After this, clubs buy the players that they did in real life, except for your club. You can choose to buy or sell who you want but your bid on a player that your club bought in real life is more likely to be accepted than it would be otherwise, and similar with selling your players to other clubs. And you can also try and buy someone else instead, even if another club bought them irl, with it then being treated like any other transfer in FM. Just a thought.

"It will be fine ... eventually" :D

Game sim graphics & cut scenes are nice but they stuffed everything else up. Has Some bugs also. Glad I still have fm24.

@BongChoke

Why can’t I see the coaching badge or style section?

@GothamXDEdits

Why do you have a beginners guide for a game that you think is a 0/10? Seems weird

@lordbastich
@

I still have no idea, you are telling me all that i already know,

@fjols1991

Here are the five simplest, most useful tactical tips for newer FM players:


1. If your squad’s got slow centre-backs, don’t play a high line.
2, If your striker can’t pass, make him finish, not link play.
3. If your midfield lacks creativity, use width and overlaps instead of forcing play through the middle.
4. If your defenders can’t head, don’t sit deep and invite crosses.
5. If your team’s struggling for form, keep it simple with a balanced mentality and short passing.

How do you make your own team on FM?

Thank you kev 🙏 Do you know ennything about training schedules ?

@Kawamoto84
@

Will coaching badges be on console edition?

@CATMAN3471

Nice to know you're Armenian 😂
Seriously, great video, thanks

@largsgeoff
@

Man I wish I could save my squad selections...it's my only gripe 🤣

@Trousers_McGrew
@

This is genuinely useful as someone who’s wanted to play for years but has felt a bit intimidated by the game.

@chrisdixon5447
@

Ive just bought the game, if I start a save now will it automatically update when the patches come through or do I need to start a new save?

@samgreen2825
@

Hey 👋 from Kenya here....how come the mobile version has no 3d matches cut scenes 😕😕😞 then no sounds from stand's and the goals scored?

@GeorgeJude-r9i
@

Kev, thanks for the video, very helpful! Will I still get newgens from other countries if I only have the top 5 leagues as playable and then the rest of the countries in the world as view only?

@alexidanjian315
@

Great video Kev. Thank you 👍

@OldMoanyDad
@

Best way to start your fm26 save is to uninstall it and load up fm24.

@alexwallach7683
@

In FM24 I always found disallowing first window activity just makes teams sign players on loan which is really odd

@parryrovers22
@

Great tutorial Kev, I'm looking forward to the next one! I appreciate your objectivity about attribute masking. That must have been hard 🤭

@FieldMedic4077
@

Hey Kev how many players would you recommend to load up when starting a game?

@paulwitheridge113
@

Thanks Kev hope this helps me to finish second in the league and bottle the Champions league 🤣

@TheRealDannyF
@

Have you done your squad view again this year as love it

@nick46207
@

I take I can definitely take a fm24 team onto fm26?

@PeterSL1UK
@

If you switch from managing, for instance, a bottom half Serie A team to a National League North/South team or unemployed start (as I plan for Beta and Full release) do you have to set up different manager profiles for each to make it more realistic?

@paulmortimer1398
@

3:00 no sound. Must be like playing in a morgue when not recording

@matthewcrowther3698
@

What's the reason for choosing leagues? Does it mean if you don't choose Spain, you can't see Spanish players/teams or play with those teams?

@jordlufc1919
@

Nice one Kev. I didn't realize the women league's load as well as men's ❤

@Possessed_Beats

Is everyone here a Karen or what? The game isn’t bad at all, stop being sheep.
