The transfer window First of all, when I wrote that the table situation wasn’t going to affect us – I had no idea. There was no Premier League for the upcoming season and no one knows why. I still tried to approach it like any other season, but it’s hard to motivate yourself when you … More FM 21 Community Challenge Part 9
January We’re slowly turning our form around and gaining some momentum. Started awful with a draw against AFC Wimbledon, and needed extra time to beat them. Valuable experience for some of the younger players. We grabbed the points we should have in the league this month and it’s hard to complain about the losses against … More FM 21 Community Challenge Part 8

No time for vacation for the manager and recruitment team this year! I decided early that it was needed for a rebuilding job and making place for some of … More FM 21 Community Challenge Part 3
We started the new year where we left off. Just take a look at this. Both Arsenal and Brighton underestimated us in the FA cup and went out. Could say we were a little lucky with penalties, but Brighton equalized in 90+6 to secure extra time. League form was also good, and we were at … More FM 21 Community Challenge Part 2
I’ve always had an urge to write about my saves as they give a different type of ownership to see them through. After many years of writing on different forums, it’s time to have my own place.
