Play FM23 in a brand new way! In this series I'm going to show you how to play Football Manager as the Director of Football.
Director of Moneyball | Episode 10 | Everton
January dawns and incredibly we are STILL in the Champions League places. But I have a feeling the transfer window is going to hurt. Our star players are wanted, our Assistant Manager is being headhunted, and our moneyball rules dictate if we receive offers above market value I must let players leave.
So obviously that's exactly the situation we find ourselves in while we try to cling on to a European place. Oh, and our key players are over the other side of the world on international duty.
Watch this episode for more miraculous league performances, a huge outgoing transfer, and the ongoing quest to give Antony Clarke that can get us into Europe next season.

It will be a long road back to the top, but I'm making it my mission to take Everton all the way to the pinnacle 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 the Director of Football. Scouting, recruitment, data analysis, unearthing bargains and embedding a club DNA. That's my job here.
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 and European glory? How far can you take an elite club in Football Manager 2023 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!
