  1. This looks interesting! I love those saves that have a local aspect to it, I remember really enjoying playing as Unia Janikowo back when I coached one of their youth teams. Best of luck!
  2. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - September 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga We had to rely on a late turnaround to beat bottom of the table TJK Legion and then got our arse handed to us by Welco. Thankfully, instead of falling to another end-of-season slump, we recovered brilliantly to record an immensely important win over Viljandi Tulevik. Our lead grows to eight points with just six games to go. Estonian Cup Why, oh why did we have to play them during our dip in form? A late goal took the game to extra time, where we actually had to come from behind to make it to the penalty shoot-out. No luck for us this time though. The run ends at the quarter final stage.
  3. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - August 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga We extended our winning streak to nine games, which is a new team record. Unfortunately we finished the month by losing to late goals twice in a row. Nevertheless, we carry a five point lead at the top into the final round of games.
  4. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - July 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga Now that is what I call consistency! We can't get promoted, but who says we can't win the league? Estonian Cup They had a few great chances in the second half, but they didn't take them. Oh well. We got Saku Sporting away in the quarter final. Could a repeat of last season's run be on the cards here?
  5. The numbers FM produces are silly and way off the real life figures. For comparison, have a look at this season's stats from the Premier League taken from Wyscout:
  6. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - June 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga Three very close games. We could have probably got something more out of the trip to Elva after they had a player sent off in the first half. Estonian Cup The leaders of the Esiliiga B put up a decent fight and the result flatters us a little bit to be honest. In the fourth round we get a chance to enact revenge on Harju for eliminating us two years ago.
  7. Hopefully the first of many milestones!
  8. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - May 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga Not anywhere near as good as the previous month, but this sort of form should still keep us well clear of the relegation places.
  9. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - April 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga Boom! A perfect month, including two big away wins, and we rise up to 2nd with by far the best attack in the league. Estonian Cup Not the most spectacular of wins, but a win nevertheless.
  10. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - March 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Esiliiga A decent enough start, I'd say. The first two games were both fantastic performances, but afterwards we got picked apart by both our first team and the national team. With a weakened squad we still put up good fights in all three games we didn't win, unfortunately we just didn't have the quality to edge them out. Estonian Cup We should have had this done and dusted before extra time to be honest. A solid win over an Esiliiga B side. In the second round we got drawn against Tallinna Kalev U21, a game we should be winning.
  11. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - Pre-Season - 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Friendlies So close to a perfect pre-season. Transfers Aleks Sild, Andreas Kask, Mark Kangur, Vladimir Mikhailov, Daniil Karu, and Sergei Valtna have been promoted to our squad. I don't see Kask being with us for too long, he looks like a proper talent.
  12. It's fine, it's a semi-pro contract.
  13. I've got my first interview offer from a Meistriliiga club. However, for the sake of realism I don't want to go manage in the top tier until I complete my Pro licence. Interview declined.
  14. Erkki Karpela's Management Career - Season Preview - 2025 - Nõmme Kalju FC U21 Board Expectations: Esiliiga: Mid-table finish Estonian Cup: Be competitive My Expectations: Esiliiga: The board are being really ambitious here. I just want to stay up. Estonian Cup: The further we get, the better.
  15. And here's a massive step in our manager's career. The UEFA Pro licence will make him eligible to manage top tier clubs.
