Iceland was chosen by one of my friends, I told him to pick me a hard nation to manage in and he did.

KFK

The club has a 2500 capacity stadium, of which 1500 is seated with a roof and synthetic grass. There are currently 62 season ticket holders. It also has a 'fairly basic' training set up, 'minimal' youth facilities and a limited youth recruitment. It's basically a clean slate.

Good luck! Is this FM11 or FM10? It looks like 10, but maybe that's a theme. It'd be much more interesting on 11 methinks due to DLR.

[Flamers]

KFK Overview:

The team isn't too bad, a few players who should make a good impact in the league. The club were expected to finish 6th but find themselves in 3rd as I join them in July. They have been knocked out of the Icelandic Cup but that is no real big deal.

I think that the first few games will give me some understanding of the level of football in Iceland and we shall see how it goes!

Flamers

[Flamers]

Its FM11

I have loaded all of the major nations but put them to view only so I am forced to make another nation rise to fame

I have had a 2-0 win in my first match which was nice, the standard is about tier 8 English standard so not great.

Flamers

[hrbfcrule]

Good Luck with this

[Flamers]

Thanks

I'm using KFK instead of the full name as I don't have half an hour to type out the name :P

Flamers

[DSYoungEsq]

Best of luck! You certainly did pick a hard place to make a career!

[Matt123456]

You certainly are courageous for braving the arctic elements! Do they have a winter break in Iceland? That's one thing that has always put me off from saves in colder countries, because of the fixture congestion caused either side of the break and the extra friendlies needed to bring the team back to match fitness. And my star players always got injured in those friendlies.

Good luck anyway!

[Jason the Yank]

Iceland plays in the summer, IIRC.

[jemparowkenastoprocent]

good luck Flamers!

Iceland plays from May to September, so there's half year of football and half year of holidays, it's because there are polar nights in Iceland.

[deadfncat]

Good Luck Flamers! Did you just get the game for xmas?
I just moved to the footballing north in my game as well. Its damn cold!

[Flamers]

We currently there's 6 teams in my league, I play once a month, at a push every 2 weeks. So there's not many fixtures. Iceland only has 370k odd people according to the game!

I am trying to arrange friendlies to keep my squad fit during the season!

@deadfncat no I didn't, I brought it off steam today (25% off )

Flamers

[deadfncat]

that sounds like a dumb system :| games every 2 weeks
I left the Indonesian leagues because they arent set up very well. that sort of thing annoys the **** out of me

[deadfncat]

btw nice signed shikari shirt

[Flamers]

What can you do with only 6 teams in a league?

I am one of only 2 semi-pro teams in my league, the rest are amateur but at this level it really doesn't matter THAT much. On the plus side it means when I'm in the top leagues I stand a chance of competing in Europe as I won't have a match every 3 days

And thanks got it signed at Redfest and I have my signed Shikari poster now, and a flyer from the tour I went to

Flamers

[deadfncat]

how many leagues are there in iceland? i dont have them loaded in my game

[Flamers]

I'm using a DB edit, so I have 4 tiers, all realistic.

There is: Premier League, First Division, Second Division, Third Division which has 4 Regional Parts

I started in the Third Division, normally there is only the Premier League. I think..

Season 1 Revue - Deild Karla B Rioill:

Finances

The finances are not looking too healthy, the players are on a maximum of £45 per week, most below £10 a week but I am still losing a lot of money. I just hope my board can help me with it!

Transfers

These are my transfers for the season. All of the players out on frees were reserves who were eating my wage budget so I got rid of.

Results

Here are my results. I joined after the first Berserkir match, as you can see we had quite a good second half of the season, we would have won if both halves had been the same. The league table shows how close it was in the end. It does also show that there are basically two different leagues, the title challengers and those who can't.

Key Players

1. Beitir Olafsson. My man between the sticks, 10 games played, 4 Clean Sheets and 6 conceded, much more needed to be said?

2. Hobour J Guomundsson. My poacher up front, not the greatest striker in the world but he does his job well, 7 in 12 matches is good enough to get him a place.

3. Porhallur Siggeirsson. One of my towering defenders, 2 Man of the Match awards and a goal get him a place in the top three.

If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.

Flamers

[deadfncat]

ooo close :P should power through next season.
Do the higher leagues have better fixtures?

[brFM2011]

The league reminds me of the SPL, Ranger & celtic, and then the other 10 teams :P.

it does seem hard only having that many fixtures but like you said if you make it to europe you'll stand a chance.

p.s Enter Shikari yessss

[Flamers]

Premier League has 12 teams in it, so 20 fixtures a year!

The league will be the same teams next year as the top team didn't win the Promotion play off so I stand a good chance. My 4-1-2-3 works well at home (I haven't conceded!) But I don't yet have a good away tactic, I was thinking about maybe a 5-3-2 what do you think?

Flamers

[deadfncat]

20 games? whoah! it must be hard to keep cash coming in if you dont play many games :\

keep it tight at the back and you should be ok. make sure the team talks are good when you are away and yell at complacent players etc. your goalie seems pretty good, maybe get a new defender or two to stick with him if you still leak goals?

[Flamers]

I have only lost 1 game with the team, that was the last one of the season away to the league leaders.. I was 7-2 outsiders and expected to finish 5th or 6th.. So I thought I did a good job

I think that with DLR it will mean that my prices will go super high and I can cope, and Champions League runs will be the most important thing for me. Get to the last 32 and you get £25.9m!!!

Flamers

Can't wait to see this develop! Hope you stick with it, I reckon it could be a classic

[Flamers]

My strikers can show a bit of class:



I hope so! I'm taking this one slowly as it's much harder than England. I have to think about the loan term a lot.

Flamers

[deadfncat]

haha I love all the team names

[Flamers]

I just beat a German Semi Pro team, I think they are 3rd division but I don't have it active so I can't tell. This was the one and only goal in the match:

Season 2 Preview - Deild Karla B Rioill:

Finances

The finances are not looking too healthy still but they should start improving if my results stay as they are! I now have a higher wage budget, £110 per week and I have released two players who were sucking huge wages for no pay back.

Transfers

These are my transfers during the off season. I am currently loaning a lot of First Division reserve players in order to make my team able to compete with the top teams in my league. The two players I got rid of were on £45 per week and £50 a week and wanted more while only being rated a 1/2 star!

Season Expectations

The board let me choose this season what I wanted to achieve and I choose Title Challenger. This was a bit bold as I later found out that one of the relegated teams has joined my group and should, in theory, walk the group. Still with my new players I should stand a fighting chance of competing. However this view isn't held by the media who rate me at 500-1 outsiders I will try and prove them wrong though, my aim is 3rd or above this season.

Two wonderful goals in our 4-2 win over division 2 Hottur:



This one was after they had gone 2-1 up, straight after the restart!



Flamers

[deadfncat]

wow brilliant through ball from steinporsson (i think??)

[Flamers]

It was

Just played an hour of MW2 (not the greatest game in the world but worth the £20 I played for it) and now back to FM

Flamers

[DSYoungEsq]

12 teams is 22 games, if it's a double-round-robin.

[Flamers]

It was too early in the morning :P

Yes, 22 games

I have 12

Season 2 January February and March Update - Deild Karla B Rioill:

For some reason the Icelandic leagues have a 3 month pre season. Therefore I set out making some serious cash! Due to our low gate price I played all but 2 of our friendlies away from home, I was charging all of the teams I was visiting at least £7k a game so it's a nice little money maker so bare that in mind.

The results speak for themselves, we had a very impressive pre season! The other result was a 3-0 win against Afrika that for some reason is on last years fixtures. The highlight has to be the 4-2 win against Hottur who are a division above us. The low point was the 2-1 loss against Afrika. With 2 draws and 1 defeat and the rest victories I am quite happy in the direction we are heading.

As for helping the finances you can see that it did a wonderful job and should hopefully pay for most of this season!

Flamers

[Flamers]

Off to a winning start this season!

Flamers

[brFM2011]

ha get in
and yes the pre season friendlies away from home against some clubs are superb for money :P

[Flamers]

As you can see by the finances, I made £30k in a month which is a stupid amount for a club with 62 season ticket holders!

Flamers

[brFM2011]

Unless your charging the prices of united
good stuff anyways .. id love to be managing a side right now but it seems nobody wants to take me on .

[Flamers]

Oh, I wish I was, £2.40 a game...

I just had my first defeat, at home

Flamers

[brFM2011]

hah football or a decent pie at half time, id struggle to choose.
unlucky with ya loss :c, sure your team will pick theirselves back up :P. did you deserve to lose?

[Flamers]

It should have really been a draw, maybe me edging it. They scored two quite lucky goals and I had far more shots..


I just lost in the cup as well but the team was 2 teirs above me and I took them to extra time

Flamers

[brFM2011]

Well unlucky then :/, and hey ho thats the magic of the cup almost an upset there!
I have finally been offered a job in the n. irish 3rd tier yesssssssss... only 30 years of managing before burton albion will show interest now

[Flamers]

Haha, well I choose this team but the league rep is so low that you could get the job if you can speak and count to eleven... The passing is school boy level...

Flamers

[deadfncat]

well make it World Cup Level

[brFM2011]

lmao yea, as long as you can wear a kit and run on a pitch for 90mins, your in the team!
gonna have to stick with this dodgey team for a while, pretty sure my local team featherstone colliery would even compete in this league
do you press alot then in your tactics if the passing is awful? must be alot of mistakes :/

[Flamers]

I don't need to! I ahve short passing (to stop passing errors) and Cnotrol as starting strategy and it works well for me

Flamers

[Flamers]

Great, just lost 2 weeks of this save as the last save corrupted, thank god for 3 file rolling save!

Season 2 June Half Season Update - Deild Karla B Rioill:

I have so far played 6 games this season and these are the results.

The Iclenadic FA Cup didn't last long for us, we had First Division Prottur, we put up a good fight with the score at 1-1 after 90 minutes. However our poor fitness showed and they got the one goal they needed in extra time to send us out.

As you can see the league is going quite well, I was disappointed with our home defeat but other than that we have been doing rather well!

As for helping the finances you can see that it did a wonderful job and should hopefully pay for most of this season! In the league table we are two points clear at the top which is nice, we are predicted to finish 4th but I knew the squad could do much better as they are showing.

In term of transfers most of our squad is made up of loaned players but it seems to be working well and hopefully I can get some of them to keep if I can get promotion.

Flamers

[deadfncat]

gogogo!
get outta that league!

[Flamers]

Even if I win it's not automatic promotion, there's still a playoff!! How annoying is that??!!

Flamers

[deadfncat]

yeh that sucks! you should get it though!

[GioGio85]

Your an entepreneur young Flamers, liking your work on the old pre season friendlies.

[Flamers]

If I get a month or so off I might have to make some more money

It is what you get when you tell an accounting student to play a game based on money

Thanks deadfncat

I will update when I can but the girlfriend is here for a week

Flamers

[deadfncat]

go buy her a copy!

[Flamers]

haha I don't think she'd like that :P

I got a whole 10 minutes of MW2 in this morning.. I need 15 minutes per match on FM...

Flamers

[Flamers]

WOW, just had the greatest game I have ever seen.

I was playing KFS at home. THe first half went well, we controlled the ball and were pressuring all the time. We came out for the second half and carried on but they managed to counter attack and scored after barely seeing the ball for 60 minutes. We then went on an attacking strategy and got one back in the 71st minute, the time rolled on but it didn't look like we could get the win. Then in the 5th minute of stoppage time we got a corner, up rises Olafsson and scores his first goal for the club! It took us 3 points clear at the top of the league!

Highlights:



Flamers

[deadfncat]

nice work. blocky graphics :P

how much left in the season?

[Flamers]

I'm uploading in 360p :P

I have 5 games left then the playoffs hopefully

Flamers

[Flamers]

The next match will decide the winner this season I think. I am 3 points clear of Hvot and I'm playing them next, the winner SHOULD then walk the rest.

At home I won the match 2-0.

Flamers

[RichG]

LOL Flamers Just watched the highlights of KFK 2-1 KFS. is your division the local prison league as they are pretty mean walls behind your goals

[Flamers]

Well I wouldn't put it past them.. They should be locked up for some of the shots they miss....

Flamers

[Flamers]

Still 3 points clear, 0-0 draw away from home isn't too bad!

Flamers

[deadfncat]

Promotion soon Flamers?
Im much higher league rep than you now!!

[Flamers]

I had my girlfriend here for a week!

Flamers

[Flamers]

After that boring 0-0 draw my team really pulled it out:



I'm now 6 points clear, but one of the teams has a game in hand.

Flamers

[Flamers]

And then for one of teams that were 6 points behind:



They scored 82nd minute and I pulled it back to 2-1, my team rocks!

9 points clear, one team has 1 game in hand but 1 more draw is enough to seal the league!

Flamers

[RichG]

Some nice goals in your 4-0 win. Did Crouch score the second as it was a lovely touch for that goal.

Also I think your toilets have sprung a leak as you have a strange puddle out side the one end of your maximum security compound.

[Flamers]

We have had a bit of a problem with the local water company.. I think that some of their staff are taking too much time playing football for me :P

My top strikers have finishing of 10 and composure of 10 and they can pull off stunning shots like that but miss an open goal, it's incredible!

Flamers

[RichG]

Just watched the 2-1 win and either you need a new left back or that striker for Dalvik is Usain Bolts brother lol

I am gonna have to get into this uploading lark. I am starting to like the highlights

[Flamers]

He is insane, well for this level. Which really isn't hard..

I'm still waiting the 20 days til my next game. I don't want to arrange friendlies that demotivate my team so I'm not.

Flamers

[RichG]

yeah it sucks.

In my Euro tour save in Switzerland we had a break from 19th Dec until 14th Feb lol it was insane

[Flamers]

Well I'm here now, a draw sees me win my league and going into the promotion playoff.

Flamers

[Flamers]

This 4-0 win sees me win the league:



Flamers

[Flamers]

A 1-0 win sees me finish the league top with 31 points. Time for the playoffs!



Flamers

[jemparowkenastoprocent]

haha, I love their expressions after scoring, despite only about 50 men watching :P

good luck in playoffs!

[SnakeXe]

Great read so far, good luck in the playoffs!

Good luck in the playoffs, I love reading you careers, another great read

They like to think they are popular! Thanks

Great read so far, good luck in the playoffs!

Thank you, I love reading your threads as well

Good luck in the playoffs, I love reading you careers, another great read

Thank you, I should have it done by the end of tonight! I might not have the write up done though, I'm a bit tired :P

Flamers

[Flamers]

A 0-0 draw starts our campaign..

Flamers

[Flamers]

Then this disappointing 2-1 loss:



Poor finishing cost me the match really, we had more possession and territory...

Flamers

[SnakeXe]

Is that it for the playoffs then?

[Flamers]

Well this stunning 2-1 comeback helped us:



League Table:

Sindri - 7 points
KFK - 4 points
Grundarfjorour - 3 points
Huginn - 1 point

That last win put us through, I knew it was mathematically possible and I proved it!

I have never been so happy to be promoted, ever!

Flamers

[SnakeXe]

Ah a playoff group! Great news, congratulations

Season 2 Revue - Deild Karla B Rioill:

Finances

The finances are looking good this year! Those early friendlies have definitely helped me gain a good bank balance, with larger crowds coming as well we might be able to soon turn a profit every month!

Transfers

These are my transfers for the season. Those who left where fringe and not really up to much. I'm hoping to loan a good number of players next year in order to stay up.

Results

Here are my results. This being my first full season we did very well! During the main part of the season we had only lost twice, and only once in the league!The main league table shows that we simply walked it, no one really managed to keep up with us. However the playoffs were much harder, as you can see by the league table, we only just scarped through but I'm hoping we can stay up as I don't like the promotion system here.

Key Players

1. Beitir Olafsson. Second year, and still the top player. 9 clean sheets, 9 conceded in 15 appearances. I am surprised big clubs haven't come sniffing but I'm very happy to keep him!

2. Ingvar Danielsson. The only one of my starting and sub strikers that I actually own, 4 in 11 games with 3 assists is about as good as I can get.

3. Sindri Steinarsson. The best defender I have, currently ay Haukar but he contract is running out and hopefully I can snap him up.

If you want any more screenshots then just ask me.

Flamers

[deadfncat]

So whats the next league up looking like?
also congrats :P

[Flamers]

I will tell you when I get there.. a I have a 2 month holiday to sim which is nearly done then I will be back!

GOGOGO
so much better when u take a team up

[Flamers]

My wage budget went up 10 fold, WOW!

Just waiting on 1 more news item then I can post season preview

Season 3 Preview - 2. Deild Karla:

Finances

The finances are looking good, after last years title win and massive amount of friendlies I am well into the black. With a similar number again this year I am looking to make some serious money!

Transfers

These are my transfers during the off season. Most of the loans are now from the Premier division reserves which means I am getting some good quality in, I have been hunting around for some good players as well in the transfer market but yet to find some real jems. I am signing a lot of staff currently though, a can have up to 4 coaches and 6 scouts so I might finally get some better players in!

Season Expectations

The board let me choose this season what I wanted to achieve and I choose Attempt To Avoid Relegationr. My goal is to survive, I should do that but there was no point in selecting a higher expectation as I didn't need the more wages, still with my new players I should stand a fighting chance of competing. The media don't like my chances and rate me as 100-1 outsiders strangely this is better than last season but not exactly great!

Flamers

[Flamers]

First preseason friendly, 15-1 outsiders. Played away from home:



Flamers

[Flamers]

Next match saw us travel to Trinidad and Tobago, simply we were outclassed. Credit to our defence as without them it would have easily been 4 or 5 against us.



Flamers

[deadfncat]

wow it really did go up tenfold. Maybe some friendlies against teams from your new DIV to see how they are?
what tier are you now? 2-3 ?

[Flamers]

I was 13-2 outsiders for this match. My new striker seems to be fitting in well, scoring 6 in his first match!



The goal they scored was actually impressive though...

[deadfncat]

if you score six in your first match for a team, You cant be doing that badly

[Flamers]

wow it really did go up tenfold. Maybe some friendlies against teams from your new DIV to see how they are?
what tier are you now? 2-3 ?

From £150 to £1.6k, so yes it did

Tier 3 and I'm doing my foreign friendlies for stupid money tactic

Flamers

[Flamers]

if you score six in your first match for a team, You cant be doing that badly

I know, he is INCREDIBLE! I just need to change match preparation to defensive positioning I think then it should be perfect!

Flamers

[deadfncat]

Haha I was just offered 3.8mil transfer budget and 47k a week!!!! AWESOME
you need to get to the top div and catch up

[Flamers]

Well I can have £1.5k wages and £10k transfer just no one wants to sign for a side that no one has heard of in a country no one knows about :P
