Congratulations for the league title! Really I see how fast are you in your saves and I laugh because I look like a turtle in front of you... Keep going you look very strong and unstoppable! (except if you play against Vaprus)..
IR button mate.
And a quick computer.
And time.
(Still not as fast as @Makoto Nakamura though)
Vaprus will be in my nightmares now.

International break, who doesn't love that ****?

ANOTHER loss to Vaprus. And another one later too, it seems I can't rotate too much yet. Some decent wins further on, and through in the cup. Next up is Vaprus though, so I'm taking nothing for granted.
Others dropped even more points, Kalju not having quite the same season, while Levadia is doing better. But within a month a lot can happen.

Not the start I was hoping for with two draws, but new striker Januzi is starting well at least.
It doesn't help when his back-up does this though.
Same start as Kalju (and Tulevik).

Pre-Season 2018
Predicted first this time around, let's see if FCI Levadia can do any better.
Signed another player from the Andorran league, because why not. There is an actual reason for it, by the way. Since my manager has Andorran nationality it's one of the few foreign leagues I actually have knowledge about in the player search.
Also I let go of Freimanis once I signed Januzi because of the squad registration rules. He was on an amateur deal anyway so no harm done.
Not only did my genius of an assistant arrange a friendly against Zenit, he did it as the first game of the year after a break of almost three months. Perhaps I should arrange them myself in the future.
We won another supercup, although I'm afraid that competition might be broken since we played a team from the third tier this time around. I guess it might be because there hasn't been a cup winner yet.

I do like Estonia, a fantastic country in honesty. I would love to see their national team improve but the league is rather poor so I think this will stop any real progress. The teams never seem to do very well in Europe (beaten in the 1st/2nd Qualifying round) too. Hopefully you can do much better and in the process, help the league and national team improve.
I'm following with great interest!
That certainly is my goal. One for the long term, definitely!
Thank you and welcome!

Great first season there Marc! Your attendances will be quite difficult I believe, I remember reading an article a couple of years back saying that the Estonian league is the least supported league in all of Europe, so good luck to you!
Thanks man. Well, that is not great to hear but I'm just going to take it as another challenge. At least it will take a while before we need to invest in a new stadium

Season Review 2017
A good start to this career with a league title and decent performances in Europe. The cup will continue in 2018, interestingly enough.
4% full average attendance, that is a bit of a problem.
Happy with players like Liivak and Carril, very decent for this level.
Will look to refresh the squad a bit, mostly in letting go of some players. Can't see myself signing too many new faces. Might be a little bit too early to let the players from the first intake join the first team but I'll be watching their development closely.

Played Vaprus four times this season, beat them once, lost twice and drew once. Have a irrational need to beat them next season.
Disappointing to finish the season with a loss but the title was already won.
Champions League next season then.
My B & C sides did very well already, which is kind of worrying in a sense, you would like some better opposition ideally.

Gotta love paying 50€ for a player.
Worth every cent.

September 2017
A perfect month, including a huge win over lower league opposition in the cup. Fantastic goalscoring performances from Liivak!
Title 99% secure with 4 more games to go.
Got this through after the youth intake.

Youth Intake 2017
Hopeful, only one player below 1* CA and the lowest rated (PPA) has 1.5* CA, not sure if I've ever seen that before. Of course this all also says a lot about the current skill level of my players but this does look nice. Not a fan of the personalities though.
None of them really stand out much to me yet, so I'm just showing the highest PPA rated one.

Yes, Rangers was too much. But super strong run in the league!

How are your finances, you seem to be paying a lot on wages and your attendances are not exactly massive
Yes, not good, we started the season at 800k, went down to 250k or so and now we're at 500k again thanks to the europa league money, hoping to get some of that CL money next season

July 2017
A lot more busy again, not only did we safely go through the first qualification round, we also beat Ventspils in a Baltic match up. Rangers in the third round seems a step too far though. At least some coefficient points and money, which we need since we're losing money crazily fast.
First cup win was an easy one and doing very well in the league.
Kalju keeping up with us, the rest of the league is far gone.

How is Liivak doing? Few years ago he was our most promising guy. Had some attitude problems, even tough about taking dutch nationality. A bit shame he is back playing in Estonia.
Oh wow, he's had a bit of a bizarre career hasn't he?
For the moment he's one of the more promising players, although I would like him to perform better.

A bit of a summer break in the league, but we played our first European game and we did fantastically well! At least one more round.
That one game didn't change anything of note.

Not that great a month, we lost to Vaprus for the second time this season and had trouble finishing off games elsewhere.
Still in first, but only just since Kalju dropped some points as well. Could be a tense title race if things go on like this. Halfway the season already.

Glad to see that someone making save of my home country
Bit afraid that you will get boring after couple of season as they might not be match against you by this time. Maybe should have gone a bit lower team in tier 2.
But still will keep an eye on your progress. Also thinking maybe to do a save before FM19 and picking Viljandi JK Tulevik or lower team Elva or Tartu, where I am from.Cool to see an Estonian here!
You may be right that they won't be a match within a few seasons, but then the challenge will be to achieve something in Europe and getting Estonian football as a whole to a higher level.
Good luck if you start your save!
Just now, sc91 said:Tallinn is a pretty awesome place, prefer it summer time to winter though.
Good luck with the save.
I've heard that before, never visited myself yet though.
Thank you.

Good i really want to see an Estonian save here!And what a clever move to sign amazing player and (as character) Idelfons Lima!It was easy to sign him?Because he has semi-pro contract in Santa Coloma..
I think Paide beeing last is a surprise too...
I thought of you when I signed him
They let him go for free!

Busy month, but we did very well. A lot of close games though, it's not like we are already miles ahead of the rest of the league.
More clearly in first, with Kalju moving up from 10th to second this month!
Poor season from Levadia so far.

Will be following this. Tried a couple of saves in Estonia and Latvia on previous versions but couldn't quite fall in love with it. Maybe one to try again when I lose interest in my current save.
Solid enough start
Cheers! It's actually my first time, but I'm liking it so far.

March 2017
I was worrying about the left back position but I didn't realize we could still sign players on a free and register them for a few days in march. So I signed this guy. Pretty good.
We started with two games against the teams that were predicted to be our toughest opponents and we won both, so that was very promising. The two games after that weren't so great though, and we got our first loss as well, in a crazy match.
In first for now.

Yeah, it's a bit much! But it keeps it interesting at least, and forces both me and the AI to play our own youngsters.
I'm optimistic with regards to the national team, the first youth intake was already pretty decent. But the league is going to take a long while I think, with the small amount of money available. Maybe a tycoon will show up at some point...
