This year I’ve been loading every league on View Only with only top 5 European leagues plus Brazil and Argentina on playable. Plus loaded all players.
I’m now 7 years into my Hamburg save and the only time I get any real lag is Transfer Deadline Day.
Only gripe I have is the view only leagues don’t hire new managers after they sack them

Can’t recommend Germany enough, the constant battle to topple Bayern is always fun. In my current save they are close to signing Haaland which will make an already overpowered squad unbelievably good.
Dortmund always do well in my saves over there also. Fun league with not much fixture congestion. Plus the Cup is extremely fun and something I’ve always gone for every save.

Hi folks I'm.about to start a hamburg save just after ideas on signing tbh thinking about signing lower league players who can train up any ideas would be helpful cheers
Morgalla from 1860 Munich is a must if he's available. Still playing for me now in the 6th season

Season 5 update. So close yet so far to stopping Bayerns path of dominance. We fell in the final 3 games.
The Real Madrid job has become available as there manager has moved onto Man City and after the interview process they have offered me the job. With Bayern now linked with big money moves (Haaland being the major one) i just don't know how i will keep up. So many big clubs after my best players now but with 75m to spend maybe we can carry on. Long think needed about this.

Neuer just retired in my save at age 40. I think they have this pretty spot on.

Season 4 is done. What a season this was. Lukas Nmecha bringing us much needed goals as Glatzel has gone off the boil big time. Endrick (of course he was signed, it's the thing to do before the update) has been hit and miss but will be getting more game time as a striker this season.
Looks like Seimen will be off for his RC of £62m. I need to find a new GK for our Champions League campaign next season. There is plenty of interest in Nmecha also from Real Madrid which is worrying. Plenty of work to do in the summer.

Season 3 is done. What a season we had but I'm still so disappointed. We missed out on Europe on the last game of the season and got knocked out of 2 semi finals. Plenty of work to do be done in the summer. We must improve against some of the smaller sides!

After moving up to the Bundesliga suddenly all my players are wanting new contracts.... That's so annoying!
Yes everyone of them wanted improved deals with me also. Hamburg are paying low wages in comparison to lot of BL clubs.

And now he has a 2 year doping ban IRL 😂

I'm almost at the end of 2024-2025. Mario has been brilliant for me so far playing as a CB. I feel he has developed into an all rounder. Would his future be better served in a midfield role? I have a chance to bring another CB (Arrey-Mbi) who has great physicals, to go along with Morgalla and Thiaw. I also have Agyekum who is developing really well. Should i pass on Arrey-Mbi and keep Mario where he is or move him into a DLP or even a B2B?
Thoughts?

Second season is done. Fantastic season all round. European football next season and a cup win!

That's great man!
Jatta was quite annoying asking for more playing time, had to sell him lol!
You're doing great! What video is that?
Glatzel has been great for me so far.
Glatzel is a beast. Get him signed to a new contract asap. Always big clubs fishing around him.
this video,
he used Norwich so it’s a good listen and goes over the 1st 5 seasons so you can see the evolution of the tactic. I’ve started adding my own tweaks now to suit.

That's nice to hear man!
I've played with them a couple editions back, it was one of my nicest saves.
How did you setup up your team on first season?
I sold Moritz Heyer and Jatta.
Jatta is brilliant. His Physicals mate up for his lack of technicals.
Started as a 4-3-3 DM using RDFs 4-3-3 video he put up recently. It explains the evolution as you go up to a top league.
As you can see below, heart-breaking.
Morgalla at 1860 München is a must buy. Also Miklebrencis develops well as a Wing Back.
Onto the final run in of the second season now. Lots of the 1st season squad remain, managed to get Amiri on loan from Bayer 04 who has been brilliant as a B2B keeping Reis out. My DOF has managed to get Julian Draxlar and Diego Demme on free transfers for next season to add some much needed class and experience to my side. On the look out for a top centre back to partner Morgalla going forward. Looking to move Vuskovic to DM as i feel his attributes fit the role as a more all rounder, but he may struggle to get infront of Demme. Really enjoying this save had some fantastic results this season, beating Dortmund 3 times and coming from 2-0 against Bayern to win 3-2! Now onto the final league games and another semi in the Pokel!

So, after the winter update I started all over again but this time managing Hamburg.
The squad quality is more than enough to get promoted to the Bundesliga, the biggest challenge is going to be the next season.
Anyone playing with HSV too?
HSV is a brilliant save. I’ve done one on the past 4 FMs.
I started again after my previous post (pre-update) stormed the 2. Bundesliga and made it to the final of the Pokel, only to lose 1-0 in the final to Bayern in the last min. Heartbreaking.
Second season going really well so fair. Current in 6th place in the running for CL. Fernandes just picked up a 6 week injury right as we are about to hit the final run in, hopefully Raab can step up. Paul Wanner on loan from Bayern is a great pick up if you can get him.
I will post some screenshots later.

What sort of budget did you get in the second season?
Got £7m in the second season. Most of the current squad have promotion wage increases so it does send you wage budget sky high

Gone back to my yearly Hamburg save. Currently sitting top at the World Cup break.
Jatta has been my star man so far, only problem is that RB Leipzig have now matched his release clause of 2.5m. This means he will be moving on. Unfortunately i had to put the clause in at the start of the season to get him signed to a new contract or would of upset the dynamics.
I'm pondering to replace him or use the funds for elsewhere.
Managed to get some good free transfers in, William (ex Wolfsburg) has been gold so far, Lino has also come in as my new 2nd GK with a view to him being my 1st choice.
Ended up getting promoted as champions with 80 points (24 ahead of 2nd). Unfortunately suffered a loss during the season.
Currently planning for a hard season in the Bundesliga, looking like I may lose last seasons top goalscorer Glatzel. Looking to replace him with Selke at Herta (who went down) but they want the £7m release clause and he’s looking for 70k a week in wages.

Glatzel is now demanding a new contract. We don’t currently have funds to offer him one. I’ve got over the this a couple of times now and it doesn’t sit well with the rest of the squad. Any advice?
thinking about just selling him but could be hard to replace

After having a year off FM i finally got back on with this years instalment.
After much success with Hamburger SV in previous editions (FM19 - Winning the Bundesliga in my 3rd season before moving onto Real Madrid & FM20 - Returning the club to the Bundesliga winning the DFB Pokel 3 times in a row even as a Second Tier side) i decided to try my hand with them once again and be the manager to finally raise this giant from the ashes.
Just finished my 1st season, absolutely gutted to not win the league but promotion was priority. Heidenheim were unstoppable at times during the season, once leading us by 12 points, to get this close on the final day was heart-breaking.
After an up and down start to the season in which i changed tactics twice (started with 5-3-2 vertical tika taka changing to 4-3-3 gegenpress) i finally settled with a new tactic. See below with my preferred starting XI:
After settling on this just before the mid season break we didn't lose a game for the rest of the season in the league
No signings were made at all during the season. Key players are as below:
Amaechi was fantastic on his return from Bolton playing as an inside forward on the right, just like a new signing! Looking forward to hopefully developing him in the Bundesliga. Wintzhiemer may become the main man up top soon depending on if Glatzel can make the step up.
The Under 19s also won the German Youth Championship by beating Bayern in the final. This guy will be getting some game time next season:
49 in 41 is an insane return for a youth player. Hoping he can develop, shame about his work rate.
Hard work starts now to try and avoid the drop 1st season. Germany normally has alot of players that run there contracts down so hoping to pick a few gems up for free. I'm sure this side could survive as it stands though.

Really itching to get a Hamburger SV game started. Hoping to have similar success as FM19. Going up we champions and winning the bundesliga in the 3rd Season (Bayern were shocking)
Only thing holding me back is the data issues reported already (Vagnoman being left footed when he’s right footed and Hamburger SV III should be another U21 development squad for HSV)
When do we normally get the 1st data update?
Hamburg have a very interesting squad this year, looking forward to developing Vagnoman, Van Drongelen and David again.

Leipzig are an extremely interesting save, as is the whole Red Bull football family. Been thinking of doing a sort of Red Bull challenge myself to bring them all to the top, but currently too busy with my Austria Wien save.
