Tyresö FF - 2025 Season Review There have been plenty of seasons where I've looked back feeling negative, but this isn't one of them. A much better league campaign than last year, academy graduates starting to make an impact on the first-team, and an insane prospect joining us. Plus the board followed through on their promise, rewarding the inclusion of more young players by improving the quality of junior coaching. --------------------------------------------- The average ratings don't look much better than previous years, but I'm pretty sure I issued a lot fewer fines than normal, so there must have been fewer poor performances. There's still not much in terms of individuals contributing large totals, but both Joel Embring and Philip Karlsson hit double-figures for combined goals and assists. --------------------------------------------- Three more academy players made their debuts this season. 22d Giovanni Toninato has played a lot more than any others, but there's a few more goals on the list now. And the most recent debutant, 25a Isaac Brikell, is sure to feature a lot more next year. --------------------------------------------- The Reserves came 2nd in their second tier group. The Under 19s finished 5th in their second tier group. ---------------------------------------------

Tyresö FF - September 2025 A good end to the season. The win on the final day relegated Huddinge IF, but I'm more interested in 25a Isaac Brikell scoring on his debut. He's only just come through in the 2025 youth intake, and after scoring twice on his Under 19 debut I very quickly promoted him to the senior team. As normal the youth intake info will follow after the end of season review, and it's an exciting one. I'm happy with this. Last year was a bit of a disaster, and we've played much better this time around. There's obviously been a few frustrations along the way, as there always will be, but we never went on any long spells of poor form. Our record point tally is 47, so 46 shows we're on the way up again, especially after the nadir of just 35 last time.

@Muttley84 Likewise. When I'm thinking of starting a new game this map gives me ideas where to start, seeing where there's a gap that nobody else is currently playing.

Tyresö FF - August 2025 I was fuming about not beating Nynäshamns IF. A home tie, against the side bottom of the league, when we had more than 20 shots. Just pitiful. We then got hammered by Arameisk-Syrianska IF, despite bossing that game as well. I changed our 4-5-1, pulling back the shadow striker (AMC, attack) to ball-winning midfielder (MC, defence). I also changed the deep-lying playmaker (MC, support) to mezzala (MC, support). Whether that was tactical genius or just luck remains up for debate (I'd vote for the latter), but we proceeded to pick up seven points from the next three games. 20b Magnus Ternstedt and 22l Johan Persson both scored their first goals for the club this month, while 22d Giovanni Toninato reached 50 appearances. With four games left we're in 4th place, five points behind Arameisk-Syrianska in 2nd. The newest unlikely interview request is the first from a top-tier club. Madness. I even double-checked my manager profile to make sure I hadn't set it up with too high a reputation in error, but it was definitely based on the division I'm in. These clubs must be desperate. Allsvenskan - GIF Sundsvall (14th)

Tyresö FF - July 2025 A really disappointing follow-up to the good start. Some of these results were inexcusable, there's no reason for not picking up more points. We had 26 shots against Hanvikens SK, and against Södertälje FK we had another 21, in addition to playing for nearly an hours against ten men. Nearly all of our goals in this period came from midfielders, with one from a defender. We haven't had a striker score in 10 games. We've dropped one place but we're still in the mix for the play-off spot. Last year we were poor at home but had a good away record. This time it's reversed, we haven't won in our last five away games. This is the second time this lot have invited me for an interview. Superettan - Örgryte IS (10th)

Tyresö FF - May 2025 As previously detailed, star player Milan Hussein left over the winter. Nobody else from the senior squad followed him, thought the first academy graduates left the club to join teams in the lower divisions. We couldn't get any upgrades improved in the off-season, but the board did agree to action this at the end of the season if we played enough youngsters throughout the year. After our one year competing in the Division 2 Norrland, we're now back to the more familiar surroundings of the Division 2 Södra Svealand. --------------------------------------------- For some reason I've ended up picking Ruben Lindström as my starting striker, despite his finishing attribute of 1. Yet he's performed well so far, scoring four times, including two winning goals. I'm back to my 4-5-1 formation and we've made a good start, winning six of our first nine matches. Only once have we failed to score, and in that game we only lost to a 92nd minute set piece. At this early stage we're in 2nd place, two points behind IF Sylvia.

Tyresö FF - November 2024 Our best player decided to leave the club when his contract expired. He'd been unhappy for a while about squad depth, and couldn't be convinced that the youngsters coming in to the team were good enough (probably correctly to be honest). RIP Milan Hussein.

Tyresö FF - 2024 Youth Intake A golden generation! Another right winger coming through at the top of the group. It's a mixed bag when it comes to determination, but at least the better personalities are mainly amongst the higher rated players. One new nationality this year, a lad from Turkey.

Tyresö FF - 2024 Season Review Not a fun season. By far the worse one yet. At no point did we win more than two games in a row, and that only happened twice. Our junior coaching has improved, but the additional costs have drained our bank balance. So it's unlikely we'll get anything more approved this off-season. --------------------------------------------- I can't say that anyone impressed this year. Poor performances all round. Nobody reached double-figures for goal contributions. --------------------------------------------- Three more academy graduates made their debuts this year. 22d Giovanni Toninato was a regular starter and has played a lot more than the others, and also has a few goals to his name. --------------------------------------------- The Reserves won their second tier group, but can't be promoted. The Under 19s were horrendously out of their depth in the U19 Premier Division, and were relegated with just two wins to show for their efforts. ---------------------------------------------

Tyresö FF - September 2024 We started the month with a spark of brilliance, but quickly settled back into the usual pattern A disappointing end to a disappointing season. At least 22d Giovanni Toninato ended the year strong. We finished comfortably away from the relegation area, but the gap to the top was even larger. We ended up five points down from last year, and 12 points down from our peak in 2021. In addition to the lowest points tally to date, it was also our season with the fewest wins, most losses, fewest goals, and lowest goal difference. Another interview offer. In each of the last three months this has come from the Superettan club in 7th place. There must be something about that spot that makes chairpeople panic. Superettan - Mjällby AIF (7th)

Tyresö FF - August 2024 After last month suggested we might be seeing an upturn in form we went back to being awful this month. A change in formation back to 4-5-1 and dropping the youngsters saw us finally get a result at the end of the month, a rare home win at that. Milan Hussein was pretty much our only good player in the last two seasons, he's been poor this season but has padded his number with four goals this period, including three from the spot. We've fallen to 9th with four games left. We won't get relegated, but promotion is now a long way out of reach. One more ridiculous interview offer. Superettan - Jönköpings Södra (7th)

Tyresö FF - July 2024 A quiet month for goals, but a good one for results. Seven points out of nine in the away games is notable, we have the best away form in the league. Our home record is still poor though, we need to get that together to stand a chance of pushing on this year. We've risen a place to 7th in the table on 26 points. It's still so tight, the gap up to 2nd is just two points. Yet another invitation to interview for a job I'm not qualified in any way for. Superettan - Örgryte IS (7th)

Tyresö FF - June 2024 After six games without a win I was starting to think these players had given up even trying to win. Being 2-1 down to the side bottom of the table didn't help, yet a miraculous turnaround in stoppage-time against Bodens BK saved the laptop from being launched out the window. In the search for results I had dropped all academy players apart from one for that tie, and 22d Giovanni Toninato repaid that faith with the opening goal. He's currently our joint highest scorer this year, with a grand total of three. I've had enough of my main senior striker Niclas Thomasson. Two goals in 13 games so far this season, nowhere near good enough. Get out of my club. We've dropped away to 8th in the table at the halfway point, and our goal difference has fallen below zero. It's all very close in the middle, a couple of wins in a row could send us hurtling up the table, but it also wouldn't take much to put us in a relegation fight. I'm still in demand for some reason, by a club who should be aiming for much better. Superettan - Göteborgs AIS (12th)

Same here. Never really had any luck attempting it myself, but read plenty of great threads on here with it. The difficulty at the moment is forcing myself to integrate the academy players who aren't ready yet, while still maintaining results. All I can do is just go for it and hope for the best.

Tyresö FF - May 2024 We improved our junior coaching over our winter, up to an adequate standard. We also had some significant outgoings, with our starting goalkeeper, centre-back, and striker all being released, due to a mixture of age and lack of quality. Four academy players have been promoted into the senior squad to replace them. But the biggest upheaval was our opposition for the coming season - we've been moved from the Södra Svealand into the Norrland, so we'll be playing an entirely new group of teams this year. We're definitely not located in the north, so that's going to produce some long away days. Expectations remain the same though, midtable mediocrity. --------------------------------------------- We've made a pretty good start to the year with four wins from eight. Our away form is carrying us at the moment, with three wins on our travels but only one at home. We're just not playing particularly cohesively. We've gained points when we've been second best, and also lost games we've dominated. So it's too early to see how the season will play out. I hope it gets a bit more interesting though. We're averaging only just over one goal per game, and conceding the exact same amount too. I've made a few adjustments to the tactic, but it seems like when I try to improve one area, it makes a different one worse. So still plenty of work to be done. After the first couple of months we sit in 5th place.

Tyresö FF - 2023 Youth Intake A golden generation! A whole bunch of potential, which will likely never be reached. Particularly as we'd need to come up with a formation that includes three right wingers to include each of the top prospects. There's lot of terrible personalities and a lack of determination in this group. Four new nationalities this year, two from Europe and two South American.

Tyresö FF - 2023 Season Review Our worst season yet. The final position wasn't drastically worse, only a couple of places lower, but it was a drop-off of nine goals and seven points. Making a profit is an unexpected bonus. Hopefully we can use this to get some upgrades actioned over the winter. --------------------------------------------- Philip Karlsson had a quietly productive season. I hadn't really noticed him, but he ended up top scorer and also had the highest average rating, while chipping in with a few assists. Hampus Andersson did well to get seven assists from right-back. Although the stats didn't necessarily reflect it, as Jesper Sundelin kept a lot more clean sheets and conceded fewer goals per game, results improved once Esteban Robles came into the team so he'll likely be promoted to first choice going forward. --------------------------------------------- Five more academy players made their debuts this season. 22d Giovanni Toninato became the first to score a goal, and also has joint most appearances of the graduates. --------------------------------------------- The Reserves won their second tier group, but aren't eligible for promotion. The Under 19s won their second tier group and then the play-off, and will be promoted to the U19 Premier Division. Between them these teams have won their leagues five times out of eight, the board would probably be better off ditching me and bumping one of these managers up in my place. ---------------------------------------------

Tyresö FF - September 2023 We finally found some form! It's too late to mean anything, but at least it gives us some positivity to carry into the off-season. Digging back through some old tactics I have saved I found a 4-1-4-1 that seems to have done a decent job. The only loss this period came against Assyriska FF, and we were doomed from the second minute when left-back 20g Jesper Engström was sent-off. At the other end of the newgen scale, in the win over Arameisk-Syrianska IF 22d Giovanni Toninato became the first academy graduate to score for the club. Not enough goals seems like an obvious thing to say when you've had a disappointing year, but I think by anyone's standards just 33 goals from 26 games isn't up to scratch. We did enough overall to clinch a 5th place finish, so it's not completely awful, but the poor start and middle off the season gave us too much to do at the end.

Tyresö FF - August 2023 This season is just a complete disaster. Nothing we try works for more than three games at a time before we just collapse again. With five games left we're in 6th place, nowhere near the top and just five points above the relegation places. For some reason other sides are still interested in me, another approach coming from a team two tiers higher. Superettan - Västerås SK FK (11th)

Tyresö FF - June 2023 Our revival ended just as quickly as it started. We made it to three wins in a row, and then just stopped scoring. On the plus side at least we're not conceding many either. We've risen a place to 6th, but in terms of points we're a lot closer to the relegation spots than promotion contention. For some reason though I am in demand, with four clubs inviting me to interviews this month. Three of them were from teams in higher divisions, including, bizarrely, a second tier side. Superettan - Sandvikens IF (7th) Division 1 Norra - Karlsberg BK (8th) and Örebro Syriankska (15th) Division 2 Södra - Syrianska FC (11th)

Tyresö FF - May 2023 We couldn't get any upgrades agreed over the winter, but at least the board did pay for me to on a training course. There are pretty much no expectations this year, the board just want a top-half finish and the media expect midtable mediocrity. And the first few games of the season suggested that even that may be out of reach, as we were dreadful. Just one win from the first six games, and we went three in a row without even scoring. I went for the only tactical change I know, going from 4-4-2 to 4-5-1, and luckily that triggered an immediate improvement with successive wins. We sit in 7th place.

Tyresö FF - 2022 Youth Intake A golden generation! A lot of potential again, which still probably doesn't mean much. But the much better personalities and determination attributes are pleasing. Nothing's been done to influence that, staff recruitment is delegated at the moment, so it's just RNG. Three new nationalities in this group.

Tyresö FF - 2022 Season Review We're never going to get promoted. --------------------------------------------- Milan Hussein had a great season. Equal top goalscorer, and by far the most assists, MotM awards, and highest average rating, Everyone else was varying degrees of terrible. --------------------------------------------- The first academy graduates have made their debuts, though none of them made an impression. --------------------------------------------- The Reserves won their second tier group. Doesn't look like they get promoted, I guess the groupings are tied to the senior sides' placings. The Under 19s finished 4th in their second tier group. ---------------------------------------------

Tyresö FF - September 2022 Every single monthly update this year we were top of the table. Until this one. We managed to finish 3rd in a one horse race.

Tyresö FF - September 2022 These players are going every they can to avoid getting promoted, but with one game left we're still in the driving seat. We lost to IF Syvlia in the 96th minute. And how have we been humbled by bottom of the table Newroz FC for a second time this year? And the final game? Against Enskede IK of course.
