Ditch the FM23 match engine and play the game in a whole new way! In this series I'm going to show you how to play as the Director of Football.
Watch this episode to see the new team gelling, loanees blocking the progress of home grown talent, and a couple of epic scale transfer rumours.
Nineteen matches into our second season at Birmingham City and we're sitting pretty in the top half of the table. Up next we have an away match against relegation battlers Huddersfield, followed by a home match against promotion-chasing Luton. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before our upgraded squad start to fight among themselves for a starting spot, but so far Thomas Letch is keeping everyone happy. Except for Rhydian Bennett's agent. And maybe his Director of Football...
We've seen 30 goals scored in our first six matches of the season, and now it's transfer deadline day. How are we going to fill the remaining gaps in our squad? Will Bellingham move on from Dortmund and give us another almighty windfall? And could the board do the unthinkable? Get deadline day right and we can set ourselves up for a brilliant season...

It will be a long road back to the top for Birmingham City but I'm making it my mission to take them all the way to the top of European Football.
And I'm doing it the hard way:
* No match tactics
* No team selection
* No training
* No team talks
All of that will be left to my staff, because I am concentrating on my Director of Football duties - scouting, recruitment, data analysis, unearthing bargains and embedding a club DNA.
And to help us move away from the financial precipice the club is currently leaning over, we will be applying the Nine Rules of Moneyball:
1. Promote youth ahead of transfers
2. Only buy players aged 20-25, with decent data sample size
3. Shop outside the usual markets - transfer listed and out of contract players, low reputation leagues
4. Improve defence before attack
5. Always improve the weakest area of the team first
6. Don't buy strikers unless absolutely necessary
7. Sell players at their peak age
8. Always be scouting for replacements
9. Sell any player if a club offers more than they are worth
Can I lay the foundations for Premier League glory?
How far can you take a Championship team - that's nearly four times over it's wage budget - by completely ignoring match tactics, training and team selection? Let's find out...
This will be the biggest challenge the Director of Moneyball has ever faced. Watch the carnage unfold.

A couple of people have asked if I could share the views I'm using for the Director of Moneyball save. As you wish!
Here you'll find the filter I used to find my Assistant Managers, the Player Search view I'm using to ensure new signings match the club DNA, the Squad View that helps me to assess performance, and the Schedule view to show which formation we've lined up with in each match.
Enjoy!
