How I Took Wigan Back To The Premier League! | FM24 Rebuild

As a Wigan fan, the last few years haven’t been particularly great, that being said one of my favourite things about the club is the history of defying the odds and always fighting to the end

As one of the staff who went unpaid through that time and has subsequently been let go this is heartening to see. I was a recruitment analyst at Wigan between 2021 and 2023 (maybe no longer having me in your backroom staff was a help to your chances of success!😂) and will always have fond memories of the first club that gave me a job in the game despite how sourly it ended. Keep up the great content Kevin and Up The Tics

Fantastic rebuild. Loved how you kept Tickle and Hughes at the club. Kev makes a profit on transfers, my goodness 😂

What a wonderfully concise recap of what has been 4 years of insanity at my club! Looking forward to this! And yes, James Carragher is Jamie's son.

didn't even feel like 1hr... the video flowed so well and was engaging.. great job and great story

To be honest Wigans youth system is underrated, a lot of good players have come through Wigan's youth system especially recently with the need to rely on it due the financial trouble. 😊

Here's an idea for a (I imagine v. difficult) rebuild outside side of England - Dumbarton are the only "small" side still in existence that have won the top division in Scotland, albeit in 1892. Can you take them from Scottish League 2 and back to a Premiership title? Slightly less difficult would be do wine a Scottish Premiership with Kilmarnock, Motherwell or Dundee who have not won a top division title since at least as far back as the 1960s.

INSANELY GOOD REBUILD Loved it ! This is what we love about FM exactly how it’s showcased in this hour long video, keep up the good work

Tics fan here, been watching this channel for a few years now and it's great to see this video pop up. Only watched the first 4 minutes so far, but that sums up a lot of what's happened at the club since lockdown, though there is more to it. We've got a great youth setup, we've been having to use a lot of our academy players this season, maybe more than we should but needs must considering the transfer embargo (not to mention having had some great players leaving to raise money during our admin phase - Devine and Gelhardt for example... shamelessly linking that to Kev's NLTL). Danson's alright but he won't be pumping money into the club (and he's incredibly private), plus he owns the rugby and all signs point to him using his money more there. It's already been said that he wants to run us as sustainably as possible, which, in football terms, means cheap contracts and sell the better players for big money. Be reet if we had a solid match attendance, however we struggle to bring in 10k. Also, he seems to be dragging his feet in bringing in staff in various positions. But we're financially okay for now and we should be drama-free off the field now, and we'll see what Danson will do with us down the line. So that all being said, I can finally mention that I never see Wigan do well often in FM videos on youtube (other than people managing them of course). Always seem to languish in League 1, or below and it's as hilarious as it is frustrating

26.44 You spent how much on a loan deal?? That's Mbappe to Saudi style of deals hahaha

Any FM vid where you get away with so many tickles they get their own testimonial was worth every hour put in to making it! We'll probably never see Wigan in the Prem again, but here's hoping they have some more stable days in the future

Love that you decided to do these rebuilds as well! Been my favorite FM content creator for. awhile, but for some reason the rebuilds are appealing, glad you are also doing them!

A fabulous rebuild video. As a Wigan fan it's a pleasure to watch someone make a video about us. We are very much a chaotic overachieving small club. Impressed Tickle and Hughes stayed all that time. Good little youth system that kept the club alive through administration. A great intro too told our story well. too.

40:26 Fully expected a Leo Sayer pun there, but maybe I'm showing my age

Kev is lucky to have Charlie Hughes. The name rang a bell, I remember I signed him in my save when he was an older player. A leading Championship level player.

Loved it, definitely wanted to see you taking them to lift a major trophy. But please come back to use with another great series like this one!

Unexpected treat, feature length episode on a Saturday night, great stuff Kevin, thanks

Really great video. I know this will have taken a lot of effort, but worth it IMO for the feature length episode. Top work Kev.

loving the pace of these one off weekend episodes kev, excellent work

I'm loving these more long form rebuild videos. Keep it up!
