Episode 4: Cracking the Code- Deciphering the 3-5-2 Formation in FM24 feat. Inzaghi's Inter

4/7/2024
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. After being blown away by them in person, Simeone Inzaghi's Inter have been one of the most exciting teams to watch in Europe this season. Their interpretation of the 3-5-2 is but one example of how prominent this shape is becoming again in football. This week, let's dive in to how it works, what key considerations are needed to develop your own, and what lessons we can learn from Inzaghi's Inter side.

Episode 9: Damien Duff - A Manager in Focus

2/17/2023
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. From flying winger to divisive Head Coach, Damien Duff is cutting his managerial cloth at Ireland's top level with Shelbourne. Taking over from a side fresh from Promotion, Duff turned Shels into the League's grittiest side. But with his ideals, Duff has needed to be pragmatic as well. What can we, as FM players, learn from Duff's first season in management? And why should we be watching his second season closely? Let's get into it! If you want to take a deeper dive into Duff's Shelbourne, check out: https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/damien-duff-at-shelbourne-2022-tactical-analysis-tacticshttps://totalfootballanalysis.com/video/video-damien-duff-and-his-tactics-with-shelbourne-tactical-analysis-tactics Just before you head off, why not subscribe (if you haven't already), leave a positive review, or share on your socials with your followers if you’ve enjoyed the podcast?

Episode 8: Recruitment

2/14/2023
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. Finally back from a Bundesliga-esque Winter Break, I've managed to waffle on for 50 mins about Recruitment - The steps I follow to identify a new signing, the process I take in doing my due diligence and how I try to not break the rules... There's some fantastic FM23 content on Recruitment out there and here's some of my favourites: https://www.footballmanager.com/the-byline/how-use-new-recruitment-focus-fm23?utm_source=pocket_readerhttps://www.viewfromthetouchline.com/2022/11/28/recruitment-and-scouting-on-fm23/?utm_source=pocket_readerhttps://dictatethegame.com/football-manager-2023-recruitment-breakdown/?utm_source=pocket_readerhttps://www.footballmanager.com/the-byline/top-tips-youth-recruitment-fm23?utm_source=pocket_reader Just before you head off, why not subscribe (if you haven't already), leave a positive review, or share on your socials with your followers if you’ve enjoyed the podcast?

Episode 7: FM (Out of) Touch

12/4/2022
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. It's here! FM23 Touch is a thing again, and we should all be delighted...shouldn't we? After a one year hiatus, SI have released FM Touch again, but this time it's for Apple Devices only (sorry Android users), and then not all Apple Users, but only for those paying for an Apple Arcade Subscription. Have SI scored an own-goal here? Have they made the game more appealing? Or, is it a case of FM being out-of-touch?

Episode 6: The Front Line

11/21/2022
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. Goals win games. Attackers win Awards. So, how can we make sure we have the best front line in the game? How can we go about making sure our attack is balanced? And is a 4-2-3-1 a four-forward tactic? Let's get into it!

Episode 5: Positions v Roles

10/30/2022
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. In FM23, we are all starting on a blank tactical slate. Tactical creation begins with positions, roles and instructions, some of which have been slightly tweaked since we loaded up FM22 for the first time. So, what do we need to think about with our new tactics?

10/22/2022
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. In FM23, I'm shunning Attributes. It's all about Stats for me. It'll be Stats for Scouting and Stats for Coaching, but with the Beta now in the wild, how am I feeling about Data now the time is upon us?

Episode 3: Dynamics, Hierarchy & Club Culture

10/15/2022
Welcome to the Technical Area, your FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo. Planning for FM23? Ever consider how important your Dynamics, Hierarchy & Culture are to the development of the club? I haven't spent much time thinking about it before, but after seeing an image of the whole squad in one Social Group, it got me thinking...Ability may mean success on the pitch, but is adding the most talented player the best thing for your squad?
