Matsusipida

I was offered an international job. was the rule like no international jobs until completion? I'm declining the job anyway.

IFK Lidingö season 20 / 2043 (swedish premier division) A solid season out of relegation danger. Finished 11th with our record points haul in highest tier. In cup we finished 2nd in our group. I'd call it a slight mut steady progress. Squad: Daniel Rynell 29C and Viktor Niklasson 36A were our best goalscorers with 7 league goals. Jonas Hermansson 40B developed into a solid premier division defender and he was sold to BVB after the season. Jörgen Nilsson 38B was one of seasons top performers but sadly his development has halted. James Kyambadde 34A is now a good Premier division midfielder and has 33caps for Uganda. Aydin Sahin 38A has developed nicely as well. 2nd choice GK Christoffer Forsgren spent the season on loan in a fellow premier division side Brobbapoijkarna. Youth intake: pretty happy we got some outfield players this time. Rikard Sandin 43A is a promising looking winger. Tomas Lemne 43B looks like a promising fullback. Magnus KArlsson 43E with his professional personality might develoe into a solid player for us. transfers: no major sales this season. Finances are not great with current loan interests ( for upcoming stadium). facilities are the same as before. I hope the sale of Jonas Hermansson 40B dosn't hamper us too much going forward and we can stay clear of relegation. summary:

Does anyone have a good formation to field six goalkeepers? I might need a one after a couple of seasons.

IFK Lidingö season 19 / 2042 (swedish premier division) Second season in the highest tier was once again a full season of relegation battle. Good late season form saved us from relegation. 10th place with 34 point is the highest so far. in swedish cup group stage we were 2nd with 6 points from 3 games. Squad remained pretty much the same as last season. no major sales. For the first time since breaking to the first team in 2030, Club icon Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A has been dropped from the starting 11. Daniel Rynell 29C and James Kyambadde 34A were our best midfielders. Viktor Niklasson 36A was our top goalscorer with 10 league goals. GK Viktor Strandlund 32B was an important player as well. Youth intake was good. not so many elite prospects but a lot of good prospects to help with squad dept in a few years time. James Britton 42A is a promising looking winger. With Hassan Billborn 42B we now have around 4-5 high potential goalkeepers. Adrian Svanberg 42C has nice potential and personality, but has a lot of work to do with his skills and physics. Transfers Construction for our new stadium has started and facility upgrades from last season have been finished. Finances are OK. with current Premier division price moneys we are pretty even with expences. Summary

IFK Lidingö Season 18 / 2041 First season in the highest tier started brilliantly. In cup we were dropped in the group phase by goal difference. League started wery well with 15 points from the firts 10 games. a lot of goals were scored and conceded as the goal difference was 26-23. then we suddenly lost our form and only took 1 point from the following 10 matches. So the relagation battle was waiting for us. Late season team managed to get a couple of crucial wins and make it to the relagation playoffs. In the first leg against Åtvidaberg we were the better team xg wise and in possession as well, but we could't take advantage and draw 2-2. Second leg at home was a thriller. they took the lead 59th minute and it looked like we were doomed to relegation. Our pain lasted untill 84th minute when James Kyambadde 34A scored to tie the game 1-1. Narrow survival on away goals it was. Mid season we sold our best player Johan Svensson 37A to Napoli (Parthenope) for 1,1M€+50% clause. after a couple of months clause was sold for another 5,73M€. He's probably the best player this club has produces so far and by far the best transfer. Josip Kalinic 28F scored 12 goals. Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A had the higherst rating of regular players with 7 goals and 4 assists in 16 (+8) caps. Jörgen Nilsson 38B was our best defender and Jonas Andreasson 37B was called back from loan as Johan Svensson 37A was sold. Viktor Strandlund 32B has developed a lot as our GK, but he still doesn't perform at high level and we conceded around 20 goals more than xg projected. Youth intake provided us with some new goalkeepers. not a bad intake but I'm not sure we need 4 GKs with 5star potential. Oskar Waldström Soldati 41B is really promising looking defender with resolute character. Jacob Mellström 41A, Mustafa Hodzić 41C and Axel Freij 41D could all make it as well and I wouldn't count Jonas Schaaf 41E out either. transfers Allready in preseason the board announced plans to build a new stadium. I guess it's a good plan as we sold out 14 of our 15 league home mathces. Finances are looking good and we made a healty profit regadless of facility improvements. Youth facilities were upgraded twice and training facilities once after the season (so upgades should be seen next season). summary

IFK Lidingö season 17 / 2040 No major sales during preseason meant we would have a change to improve last seasons 4th place. Season started really nicely and we lead the league midseason with a 9 point margin. The Team was in a great form winning 8 league matches in a row. With 10 matches to go it all started to collapse. We had a couple of injuries and international call ups as well. And the good form was gone. we only scored 15 points from the last 10 matches. Tittle challengers Kalmar FF were in a great form takeing 37 points from the last 15 matches. luckily our advantege was large enough and we managed to win the 2nd tier with a 2 point margin. Finally up to the highest tier. Squad. Viktor Strandlund was promoted to first choice GK as Simon Didrik refuced to exted his contract. The highest offer we received for Didrik was around 3K€, so deceided to keep him untill end of contract. Josip Kalinic 28F found goalstreak with 15 goals (2 leagua goals last season). Daniel Rynell 29C was in fine form as well as both playmakers Peter Strandberg 33O and Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A. Johan Svensson 37A continued to develope nicely. Peter Strrandberg 33O has done really nice progress alltough noone believed in his potential early on. he came in with really low expectations, but has done brilliantly and already has 132 league caps. I'd call that a missjudgement from my staff... Youth intake was nice with a couple of high potential players. Christoffer Forsgren 40A is a high potential GK with professional personality. hi might well be the new no.1 in long term. Jonas Hermansson 40B and Dennis Klinspor 40C might also turn into first team players. Transfers This seasons success was just too much for a couple of players. Andreas Söderstöm 31A turned into a casual character and Rasmus Ohlander 35C turned to unambitious. I remember having similar problems when promoting from 3rd tier. Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A turned from resolute to fairly determined back then etc. Do you guys have similar problems with your players? What would you guys do with a " important" player/ team leader who turs casual. he has newer performed on a level maching his ability so would you just sell him (basically for nothing)? I just don't like the idea of one team leaders being casual. Finances were looking bad before we got promoted No changes in facilities, except youth facilities being downgraded after the season. Next season might be a struggle in the Premier division. Johan Svensson 37A is pretty much only premier division standard player we have. summary

Looks like I forgot to include transfers to my latest update. so here we go

IFK Lidingö season 16 / 2039 During preseason we once again lost one of our key players in Gabriel Johanson 35A for 400K€. Season started brilliantly with us only dropping from the cup group by goal difference. Nice cup campaign was followed by nice early season with 5 wins and 2 draws. Afterwards we lost for and struggled to score goals. Team underperformed XG goals scored by 10.4 goals recording a team record low goals scored 39. luckily our star goalkeeper Simon Didrik 30C was in fine form and we only conceded 29 goals, 9 less compared to XG. we somehow managed to remain in promotion contention untill latter stages, but it just wasn't to be. We finished the league with a decent 4th position. Once again Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A was the best performer with 11 goals and 5 assists. Our former 1st choice striker Josip Kalinic 28F lost his form and only scored 2 league goals. Andreas Söderström 31A scored 7 goals and was our best Striker/winger. Johan Svensson 37A has made massive improvements and is now our best defender. Yout intake was dissapointing. highest potential prospects are casual and low self belief. HOYD got sacked. Facilities are the same. finances are on a decline. Promotion and some price money from there would be nice. Manager I feel like the save is stagnating in a way. We just keep loosing best prospects/players. next season we are losing our GK as we only kept him this season by promising promotion we couldn't get. Summary

I've had one pair of brothers in my save. Luckily I still have them both. I haven't seen any other brothers coming through. They come from a town with around 48 000 inhabitants.

IFK Lidingö Season 15 / 2038 / Swedish 1st Division Elite It's been a while since my last update. Now I finally finished the season 2038. During the preseason we sold our best outfield player Jesus Larsson 35B to AIK for a club record fee 650K€ + 45% clause. After the season I decided to sell the clause for another 200K€ as he wasn't playing nor making any progress. So, with a weakened squad i was pretty sceptic about our changes to repeat last seasons succesfull 3rd place. And the season started pretty badly with 3 losses from first 5 matches. Mid season we found some kind of a form and almost challenged for a playoff spot. Finally we finished with a pretty nice 5th place in league. In cup we once again finished last in the group and qualified to next years group stage. Club icon jonathan Sletsjøe 30A was in a fine form once again with 10 goals and 12 assists. Josip Kalinic 28F was our top goalscorer with 14 goals. Rasmus Ohlander 35C and Johan Svensson 37A have made nice progress and are player alongside Jesper Bergtoft 30E as CD. Our long standing CD Jonas Bergander 24C (326 league caps for us) has finaly been dropped and I deceided to release him after the season as he was running out of contract. Gabriel Johanssonn 35A is also taking huge steps in development. jonathan Sletsjøe 30A, Josip Kalinic 28F, Rasmus Ohlander 35C, Simon Didrik 30C Youth intake was ok. Aydin Sahin 38A is a promising looking winger, something I've been waiting for... Jörgen Nilsson 38B is a resolute character and has a decent potential. Francis Oyoh 38C has got some potential but is unambitious so he might make it or not. anyone else making it to first team would be a supprise. Transfers Finances are ok. No changes in facilities or youth setup. this is what happens when you play FM with only one nation loaded... Sweden has a World Cup top3 streak. Manager summary

IFK Lidingö Season 14 / 2037 Last season we only survived in the 2nd tier trough relegation playoffs. this year I was hoping for a stable midtable position. Team just kept winning and winning and we finnished the league in 3rd position and qualified to promotion playoffs. we really denied the odds as we had preseason odds of 250 and we overachieved the XG tablle by 10points. First leg in promotion playoffs we draw 0-0 with IK Sirius. So we are heading to the away leg with a change to promote. In the away leg we were just outplayed by a better team. In the cup we one draw and 2 losses in the group stage and qualified to next yaers group stage. Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A was our best player once again with 14 goals and 10 assists. Younger Söderström brother Andreas was in a fine form as well with 11 goals and 7 assists. Simon Didrik 30C has developed nicely and is now one of the best GKs in the league. Jesús Larsson 35B has made remarkable progress ans is outgrowing this club. Youth intake. Johan Svensson 37A is looking promising. he was driven when he came in, but squad is just filled with low ambition and determination players so he aint that driven anymore. He needs some retraining as he is just too short for a CD role. Transfers No changes in facilities of finances we still have by far the cheapest team in the league

IFK Lidingö season 13 / 2036 Season started nicely with a 9 match unbeaten run and at the end of july we had 4 wins 10 draws and oly 1 loss. Suddenly all started to collapse. We had a 11 match winless run and we found ourselves on relegation playoff spots. We managed to win 3 of our last 4 matches and avoided direct relegation. So we had a thrilling relegation playoff waiting for us. 1st leg was away against Sandvikens IF. They got the early lead but we dominated the rest of the match and got a 2-1 away win. I was hopefull ahead of home lag as we had dominated the away leg. Things weren't that straight forward. They once again got the early lead and tied the aggregate, but we were still staying up with away goals. on the second half they pulled another goal and we were going down. on 83rd minute sub winger Kenan Durakovic 31E scored the crucial goal to tie on aggregate. He only had scored one goal during the whole regular season. Extra time was waiting. We dominated the extra time and scored 3 goal and Kenan Durakovic 31E completed his hat trick on penalty spot. A really narrow survival. In Cup we advanced to the group stage. Andreas Söderström 31A was in fine form with 13 goals and 8 assists mainly from right wing. Simon Didrik 30C took responsibilities of first choise GK. transfers. No major sales this year. Youth intake was decent. Viktor Niklasson 36A is looking promising, he can play as striker, winger or CM/playmaker. Håkon Nilsen 36B is a promising right back. No changes in facilities. Finances are ok, I suppose. Slight increase in home attendances and sponsorship deals.

IFK Lidingö season 12 / 2035 The season started pretty well with 10 point from first 5 matches. Then suddenly we couldn't win anything. We only took 6 point from the next 14 matches. We were almost 11 points behind XG table. Luckily we had another turnaround with 7 wins from the next 9 matches. We finished the season 12th with 37 points. Mid season we sold our star winger Jens Mölder 32A for a record fee 525K€. Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A was our top performer with 7 goals and 9 assists. josip Kalinic 28F was our top goal scorer with 9 goals. Thomas Meunier was also in fine form with 5 goals and 7 assists. Ayberk Karagöz 27B left on free transfer after the season as he ran out of contract. Youth intake was pretty good with Gabriel Johansson 35A, Jesús Larsson 35B and Rasmus Ohlander 35C as the most promising talents. We signed all but the two casual youngsters with low potential. transfers Finances are not looking too good. we only managed to break even with half a million transfer fee received. No upgrades in facilities or youth side. The manager

Mid season update IFK Lidingö Things are looking bad again. I really don't know whats going on. We just can't win matches on this level like two seasons ago alike. We are allready 10.9 points short of XG points. youth preview

IFK Lidingö Season 11 / 2034 We were prepared to fight for immediate promotion after last seasons relegation. Squad was up to the task and secured the title 3 matches in advance. In cup we lost to premierleague side AIK in second round. In preseason we sold our best goal scorer Marcus Wikman 30B for a record fee €325K. Jonatan Sletsøe 30A returned to form with 20 goals and 9 assists and avg rating 7,55. Josep Kalinic 28F scored 14 goals. Thomas Meunier 27A was in fine form with 12 assists. Youth intake was nice. James Kyambadde 34A is a promising looking defensive midfielder. transfers Youth facilities were uppgraded Let's see if we can put up a better fight agains relegation than last time.
