On this week's pod Doop and Madd take a look at ways to get you back into FM24... With the Summer Transfer Window nearing the close, and saves coming to a end they discuss a couple of idea to get you back in the mood for FM. 5 Star Pod FPL: https://t.co/zzbihRHQgo code: prnmep 5 Star Potential - www.twitter.com/5starpod - www.5starpotential.com DaveAzzopardi - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/daveazzopardi Twitter: twitter.com/daveazzopardi FMDoop - Twitter: www.twitter.com/fmdoop - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/doop MaddFM - Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaddFM_ Website: https://maddfm.com/

On this week's pod Dave will be giving us an update on how the Penty is going and if he’s still pushing for that fourth trophy and Doop will give us a Cirencester update and maybe even some news about a Champions League final... 5 Star Pod FPL: https://t.co/zzbihRHQgo code: prnmep 5 Star Potential - www.twitter.com/5starpod - www.5starpotential.com DaveAzzopardi - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/daveazzopardi Twitter: twitter.com/daveazzopardi FMDoop - Twitter: www.twitter.com/fmdoop - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/doop MaddFM - Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaddFM_ Website: https://maddfm.com/

On this week’s pod we’ve got wonderkids on the brain with Football Manager recently tweeting the most signed wonderkids from the last 6 versions of FM - we are going to go through the nominations and chat about our own favourite wonderkids of recent years gone by, crowning our Wonderkid of the Year for each version including most recently FM24, before deciding who will be our official 5 Star Potential All-Time Wonderkid from the last decade! 5 Star Potential - www.twitter.com/5starpod - www.5starpotential.com DaveAzzopardi - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/daveazzopardi Twitter: twitter.com/daveazzopardi FMDoop - Twitter: www.twitter.com/fmdoop - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/doop MaddFM - Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaddFM_ Website: https://maddfm.com/

On this week’s pod we will be diving into both of our respective save updates seeing as we were both live this week with very mixed fortunes across our respective adventures at Cirencester and South Shields and seeing as we are on a roll with the quizzes lately, there will even be a MaddFM quiz special!! Everything, here, all at once.

It's a special episode with Doop and Dave giving us their bumper save updates! Is Dave any closer to getting trophy number four in his Pentagon Challenge and are Doop's Cirencester continuing their strong form?

On this week's show we regret to inform you that we won’t be doing save updates but we do promise a BUMPER save update pod next week when the full squad are back with us. Instead - continuing our theme of having FM25 on the mind, we’ve pulled an article published by our friends over at FM Scout which breaks down a number of new feature ideas and change suggestions for the new game in a few months time, and together we are going to break down each one and decide whether it gets our 5 Star Potential seal of approval.

On this week’s show we will be bypassing our usual save updates as we have FM25 ON THE MIND - instead we will have an in-depth chat about Centre-Back roles and pairings in Football Manager seeing as every club seems to be on the hunt for defenders this window, from which we will speculate as to whether we think there will be any new CB roles in FM25 (eyes emoji) and if there is time we may even have a quiz so I can show Dave HOW IT IS DONE.

After we dived into the big FM25 update last week, the squad jump into their save updates. Is Dave any closer to winning another trophy, is Doop as far as he can go with Cirencester and how is Madd's non-league adventure shaping up? 5 Star Potential - www.twitter.com/5starpod - www.5starpotential.com DaveAzzopardi - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/daveazzopardi Twitter: twitter.com/daveazzopardi FMDoop - Twitter: www.twitter.com/fmdoop - Twitch: www.twitch.tv/doop MaddFM - Twitter: https://twitter.com/MaddFM_ Website: https://maddfm.com/

On this week’s show we will be bypassing our save updates for this week as instead we will be diving into the big FM25 Dev Update announcement blog from Sports Interactive, which included our first ever glimpse at some concept design screenshots of the brand new game along with some big changes coming; we will also have a topical chat about PSR in Football Manager (sigh) and if there is time (there’s always time) we will have an epic quiz from MaddFM!

On this week’s show we will have to have a quick discussion on how we would effectively “rebuild” England in FM having just watched a highly disappointing performance against Denmark; we will have a bumper save update having not chatted about our respective adventures for a couple of weeks now and assuming that doesn’t take us all night, we will also have a Euros wonderkid quiz to round things off!

5 Star Potential Podcast #336: It's Never Cloudy On FM

On this week’s podcast we’ll head to Japan to see how Doop's doing in the Pentagon Challenge, hopefully Madd has been back to Ikea & Dave’s still wondering how to pronounce Mr Peter’s first name. After last week’s Golazo list we thought we’d actually take that look at Matias Soule and with a bit of luck we’ll have tangents galore to fill this hour!

It’s a new week and there has been more exciting news released about FM24; there’s player targets, better interaction and we’ve seen some gameplay in the form of truer football motion, match authenticity and positional play so we’re going to dig into that

There’s no better place to start this week’s podcast than talking about the FM24 news and if you’re listening to us on Monday 18th September when this podcast goes out you haven’t got long until you find out what the team at Football Manager mean when they say ‘Smarter Transfers, Squad Building & Finance’ and ‘Introducing Intermediaries & Offloading Players’ that news will be out today/Monday with more news to follow. But, as we’re not time travellers, we’ll talk about what we do know and give you our interpretation of what that announcement video tells us.

Save updates and this week we’re going to the Netherlands and Madd is going to tell you all about his pick of the week - a Dutch midfielder who has started the new Eredivisie season like a house on fire and also (interestingly) has a well-known footballing father - let’s look at 19-year-old Ruben Van Bommell, son of former Barcelona, Bayern and Netherlands midfielder Mark van Bommell and who at the time of recording has kick off the new campaign with 4 goals and 2 assists in 6 games for AZ Alkmaar.

We’ve decided not to do a save focus this week so that we can dedicate the majority of this week’s pod to a Football Manager Transfer Window special, timely given the chaos which has ensued this week as the transfer merry-go-round is in full swing! Instead, we thought we would look at four real-life transfer situations happening currently and talk about how we would approach this in Football Manager because that’s what we do here right?

On this week’s pod, we will have no save updates seeing as you got a good earful on all of our respective saves last week, but instead, we are going full Space Jam based on a tweet we spotted a few weeks ago by GoalScorer Challenge (@goalscorerC on Twitter) which challenges us to select an Earth XI for a world-saving clash against an Alien invasion XI, and we thought what better way to do so than use FM23 to select what we feel is the best World XI in the game.

This week we are dropping the interview with Nic Madden, Senior Match Producer at Sports Interactive. We will bypass our regular save update as there is an even more significant update to be discussed and that is the latest blog/press release from Miles on behalf of the studio which gives us some insight on the performance of FM23, the status of FM24 and perhaps most excitingly, the future for FM25 and beyond with some significant studio changes and transformations in the pipeline across all elements of the game.

Twitter has been bombarded with ‘sensible transfer’ suggestions that aren’t really that sensible so we took some of the biggest transfer rumours and discussed how we’d react if it was a situation we faced in FM. Doop lets us know about his new save and there’s a quiz from the Irish one too.Links mentioned this week:https://5starpotential.com/fm23-blogs/the-hometown-hero https://5starpotential.com/fm23-blogs/wonderkid-watch-julian-duranvillehttps://5starpotential.com/fm23-blogs/u20-world-cup-2023-5-players-to-watch

There's no save update this week, but we are trying to find Doop a new online save. We recorded this pod on the Monday after Arsenal lost to Brighton and with it all hopes of winning the Premier League this season. If this was Football Manager, would you consider it a league lost or would you be happy with the progress you’ve made season on season?

On this week’s podcast, Matt’s nearly completed another season at Kettering so he provides us an update of his progress (or lack thereof) in the Vanarama National. With the use of the inverted wingbacks being an in-vogue football topic of discussion, we decided to take a look at how the IWB role can be used within FM, how to use it effectively and what other roles you should look to combine it with. There’s also a quiz that totally wasn’t thought up 5 minutes before we started recording…

On this week’s podcast, Joe gives us a sneak peek into his new save with Valencia and what tempted him to cross the ‘Derbi de la Comunitat’ divide. Our main topic of discussion this week is team talks, the ones we rely on, the ones we avoid like the plague and how we treat those underperformers in the dressing room straight after an awful performance.

We even stayed up well past our bedtimes just in case there was some breaking last minute transfer news (spoiler alert - there wasn’t). Mr Madden also provides you with an on-brand transfer quiz too!

Another week, another podcast where we talk almost exclusively about Football Manager. Bloody hell, we better be careful, we’ve got a reputation to uphold… This week Doop updates us on his recent struggles with 1860 Munich before we enter a group therapy session about how we each try to handle the inevitable end of season slump in form. Oh and there’s another FM quiz from Mr Madden too…

It’s finally time to talk proper FM again! Hooray, no more extended quizzes I hear you say… We’ve each reached a similar point in all of our saves where we’ve noticed there’s a gulf in quality after getting promoted from one league to another. So this week we talk about the difficulties we’ve had and how we’ve tried to mitigate them post promotion as well as other leagues that may have a similar jump in quality of opposition if you’re looking for a new challenge. Oh there’s even an FM themed quiz too… Sorrynotsorry.

FM23 has brought about a number of enhancements to recruitment and scouting in-game which for most of us is one of our favourite things to do in FM, so we share our top tips and insights as to how we each go about building a scouting network in our saves (whether we are any good at it is for you to decide). We also go through our Beta saves and finalise each of our long-term save plans for FM23.

This week we are finally unleashing Matt & Doop’s interview with Nic Madden, Senior Match Producer at Sports Interactive, that was recorded at SI HQ during the Alpha event at the start of October. We talk about the big defensive changes he’s been working on with this year’s release, as well as getting him to nail down his all time Football Manager XI too. We’ve had this one under wraps for a few weeks but now that FM23 is nearly at full release we figured the hints, tips and insight Nic provides might be of use, whether you’re struggling to get to grips with the new match engine or not!

Now that Sports Interactive have released a bit more information about the headline features for FM23, we decided to have a chat about them and speculate how they might influence the way we play during the next game cycle. There’s also a quiz from Mr Madden too!

In the second part of a two part special, the lads take it in turns to build out their overall best XIs from the players they’ve managed throughout FM22 (or in the case of Madd, wish they could have managed…) before deciding upon a collective team of the year!

It’s finally time for us to run the wonderkid hall of fame rule over Javier Saviola! Since Ant Farley mentioned his fond memories of him in pod 261, we’ve been itching to record this, if of a certain age, you’ll enjoy this trip down memory lane. Doop provides an update on the Anderlecht save he started before he went to Vegas and Madd’s on quiz duty.

It’s crazy to think that we’ve been recording this silly little niche podcast for 5 years now, so in homage to reaching that milestone, we had a wander down each of our respective memory lanes to chat about what got us hooked on Football Manager in the first place!

This week’s pod was recorded whilst Doop was live with his 48 hour charity stream, raising money for Spread A Smile. During that stream he was looking at ways of trying to prevent systems using three up top being so overpowered in a PvP situation, so we extended this discussion to see what other ways can nullify a three-pronged attacking unit. Matt gives a big update on his Swansea save and Doop hosts the quiz too!

We had the pleasure of being invited to Sport Interactive’s new offices at Here East so we decided to make the most of the opportunity and record some pods from there! This week’s a slightly shorter pod where we chat about our time in London and what’s to expect content-wise in the coming weeks. There’s also another team quiz by Mr Madden that proves that some of us can answer questions without cheating…

After a mid-pod tangent a few weeks ago that dared to enter the realms of lower league management on FM, we decided that it was probably best that we got Kevin Chapman, the guy who has literally made a career out of it on the pod to discuss it with us! If you’ve been scratching your head about the pod title you haven’t listened for long enough…

Inspired by Doop’s question of what’s more difficult to win out of the Champions League and the Premier League (other top domestic divisions are available), we decided to discuss it from an FM perspective. Matt also provides us with a save update and things have changed quite drastically following the impromptu mini-update during last week’s pod with Miles. There’s also a quiz too!

On this week’s pod, Matt, Dave & Mr Madden chat about globally scouting for hot beds of talent. You’ll be truly shocked to find out Dave starts talking about Portugal. Mr Madden almost keeps us on theme with the quiz too! If you listen right to the end, there’s a bonus 90s football question too…

On this week’s pod, we decided to ‘target’ the target forward role, which has seen somewhat of a resurgence with the whole meaty man meta going on in FM22. Doop also brings us up to speed with the final leg of his pentagon journey. The quiz also makes a return, with Mr Madden on quizmaster duty!

If you’ve ever wondered about the work that goes into creating the virtual counterparts of your favourite players, then look no further than this week’s pod. As most of you will know, our very own Mr Azzopardi is the FM researcher for Wolverhampton Wanderers (you’ll get over the shock soon enough) so we asked him about all the aspects of being an FM researcher for a Premier League team.

It’s that time of year where we get some of the guys from Sports Interactive on the pod and ask them all sorts of questions about their history with Football Manager and the role they have at the studio. This week we’re treated to the presence and knowledge of Match AI QA Lead and player role aficionado, CJ Ramson.

Now that we’ve had a week or so to get acquainted with Football Manager 2022, we picked out a few things we love and loathe so far from Sports Interactive’s latest offering. For the first time in a long time, we all provide extended save updates with how our early FM22 saves are going and Madd is on quick fire (for Madd) quiz duty!

With the FM22 Beta release catching everyone a little off guard, we decided to have a discussion about our first impressions of FM22 from the limited play time we’ve had. We also go over the saves we’ve started with and what our future are plans are once FM22 is officially released on 9th November 2022. Madd is on quiz duty and it doesn’t last 40 minutes, you’re welcome!

As with most of the FM community right now, we’re in full on preparation mode as the Beta for FM22 is fast approaching. We have a quick discussion about the second episode of ‘In The Studio’ that Football Manager released before we started recording. Then we walk down memory lane and decide on our communal team of the year for FM21!

As Sports Interactive dropped a video going into more detail about some of the headline features for FM22, we though it'd rude not to offer our opinions on what they've revealed so far. Dave also provides a quiz written by MaddFM but delivered in record time! Sorry not sorry Patrick...

As FM22 starts to get nearer we thought we best hurry up with what we'd like to see included in the new game as well as predicting what features we think will absolutely be included too. We reveal the winner to last week's giveaway in conjunction with Scouted Football, Matt provides a long overdue update on his Bournemouth save and Madd is on quiz duty with a rather personal theme...

This week we talk about the identification of talent and give our collective 'Wonderkid XI' for FM21 now that FM22 has been confirmed as a thing! Conveniently, we're also running a competition in conjuction with Scouted Football so make sure you keep those ear flaps open to hear how you can enter. Curty gives us an update on his Arsenal save that includes something he's been wanting to do since 2017 & Madd is on quiz duty.

We've reached that weird limbo state in the FM game cycle where a new season has started but we don't yet have any news on the new game, sometimes it's hard to find motivation to start a new save. So this week, the lads dicuss going back to an older save with some unfinished business to tide us over until the FM22 news arrives. Doop gives us an update on the latest move in his Achievement Hunter save and Madd is quiz duty once again.

In our two-hundreth pod, recorded live at Stadium:MK in Milton Keynes, the lads have a look through some of the old iTunes reviews as well as a freeform reminisce of some of our favourite guests and moments. We then have a game of FM Never Have I Ever that goes cataclysmically wrong... TWO HUNDRED NOT OUT! A double century of podcasts! An FM podcast borrowing all of the cricket metaphors, who'd have thought it...

We also have an old school save update with Doop, Dave and Madd keeping us up to date with what is happening in their current saves. As always, Madd delivered an FM attribute quiz to finish us off!

Can you believe FM21 has been out for more than 6 months already?! Neither could we, so we decided to review it now that all the usual data updates and patches have been applied. Dave also provides us with a bumper update of his Journeyman save as he's been racing through it since we last heard from him about it.

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...

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.

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!

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 after the last shambles we had, we'll leave you to judge how he got in this time round...

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 reaches than Curty's rhyming...

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 Curtdizz too. You'll be shocked to find out who wins. To be sure...

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 are a little more unorthodox. We finish up with a quiz from Curtdizz after last week's quiz chaos...
