5 Star Potential | A Football Manager Podcast

This week we return to France one final time as Madd's time with Angers comes to an end, he also informs us of what he has planned for his next save. We then take a look at the striker position and discuss how we each use the roles and duties differently to one another. There's also a quiz from Madd too...

With the Premier League announcing their first Hall Of Fame inductees, Dave, Madd and Doop look at various players, teams and saves which would enter their personal FM HOF. We also chat to Doop about his latest FM journey, heading to America and MLS.

This week we start off by peering into the first season of Curty's journeyman save where he's started off at Wealdstone. We then switch our focus to how we'd prepare for a cup final if we were in the shoes of Ryan Mason (we're not a Spurs podcast honest), who has been given the thankless task of replacing theoutgoing Jose Mourinho at very short notice. Madd's on quiz duty once again too. Dubbed Th...

We have a cross-country save update from Doop this week as his time with Red Star FC might be coming to end (or not). He also goes into more detail about the MLS leg of 'achievement hunter'. We then move onto football media's favourite new toy the 'free eight' role and how we'd go about recreating it in FM (before SI put it into FM22 anyway...). Madd's on quiz duty again too! Dubbed The Next - Den...

We're back off to France again for our save focus as we end up hearing more about Doop's exploits against PSG than we do about Madd's Angers save. We then shift our eyes towards those tactical systems that we've always wanted to implement in FM but for whatever reason we can never get it to work (question courtesy of Mrs FridayNightFM). Madd's also on quiz duty this week, he had a lot to prove aft...

It's another Dave heavy week this week as he brings us up to speed with his new Sporting save that's he's started on Twitch this past week. We then switch gears and talk about how we would make Spurs less, well, 'Spursy' in FM21 as even the maestro of defensive pragmatism seems to be struggling to accomplish the same feat in real life. We finish up proceedings with an Easter themed quiz with less...

This week Dave introduces us to his new Journeyman save where he's started off in the doldrums of the Conference North before we dedicate the remainder of the pod to answering YOUR questions!  Euro U21s Players To Watch: https://www.westreamfm.com/blog/euro-u21-championships-8-players-to-watch Dubbed The Next - David Beckham: https://www.westreamfm.com/blog/dubbed-the-next-episode-7-david-bec...

We head off to France for an update on Doop's current leg of his Achivement Hunter escapade, where we hear about his burgeoning Ligue Un season with Red Star FC. We shift out focus onto our trusty (or not so in some cases) number twos, where we delve into the ins and outs of how we approach recruiting and using assistant managers in FM21. There's also a belated St Patrick's Day-themed quiz by Curt...

This week's pod has a look back over Dave, Doop & Joe's network save in Italy after they decided to call it quits as Joe has basically won everything bar the Champions League at this point. We also find out where the trio are collectively heading off to next. We then switch our focus onto assymetric tactics (they're a thing) where we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of using tactics that a...

Inspired by recent real life events, Inter now see themselves in a perilous financial situation so we thought we'd cover how we'd try to steady the ship if the club we were managing in FM started leaking money faster than we could bring it in. There's also a save focus from Matt's Bournemouth save who are just about to finish their second season back in the Premier League after a solid 10th place...

We continue our trips around Europe as we return to France to hear how MaddFM's career at Angers is going.

It's time to head back off to Italy for a big old update from the three-way network save between Doop, Joe and Dave. We then move onto how we each handle transfers and how our own individual approaches diver to one anothers. Some juicy little transfer tips are hidden in there too if you struggle a little with player recruitment in your own saves... Dubbed The Next - Raul by https://twitter.com/Mat...

This week it's Matt's turn to be the save focus after deciding to see if he can do better than Jason Tindall at Bournemouth, if you know, you know. If you don't, you will shortly. Our Spotlight takes a look at how we each manage morale in fM and how we've fallen foul of certain situations when nothing seems to go right.

Following the last couple of weeks of discussion regarding set pieces, we decided to discuss whether long throws in their current guise are an exploit or an advantage.
