[FM21] I did not write half of what I saw, for I knew I would not be believed

February 2024

Vučkovič scored a goal on his debut but two games later injured his ligaments and will be out for about 4-5 weeks. The rest of the newcomers are not starting yet but providing depth from the bench. Midtjylland was rather easy opponent as we beat them 4-2 on their ground thanks to Bida's hattrick and easily sealed the deal at home.

Playable opponent for us!

[scarp]

March 2024

We lost in a league game! Thankfully we managed to pikc our form right back up with three wins in three next games. Heerenveen played well but we controlled the first game and got the 2-0 win. In the rematch we just played without risks and 1-1 was a decent result for us. We are 15 points ahead of Legia with 9 games to go.

This will be tough game but i think we are slight favourites going into the quarterfinals!

Youth in-take

 

[scarp]

April 2024

We managed to win title with six matches to play! Against AEK we played really great game in Athens and getting the result we need, however in the rematch we were kind of lackluster and it nearly cost us the place in semifinals. We also reached domestic Cup finals where we will play Legia Warsaw. After we won the title it looks like our players are not motivated enough and we started dropping points.

 

 

Can we get to the finals?!

New international star!

[scarp]

May 2024

Oh boy, our form sure dropped towards the end of the season. First we lost to Braga at home just to be beaten by Legia in FA Cup Finals and then lose to Braga once more. Rest of the games went okay even though I was mostly playing youngins. We win the title with 21 points ahead of 2nd Legia so that's a huge achievement  

[scarp]

Jagiellonia Byalistok 2023/24

Europa Conference

Great season considering we lost our best played twenty minutes before transfer deadline. Change of tactic really helped us and we started scoring more goals. Next season we can hopefully reach CL group stage and maybe try to get third to play in Europa League in spring. We have super young and very talented team now.

2023/24

Summer transfers

Summer saw PSG spending 100m on Joao Felix as well as Real Madrid spreading the cash for Kusulevski. Man Utd decided to strenghten their defense by bringing in Koundé for 92m. Barella finds new place in Barcelona. 

Winter was rather quiet.

Premier League

Man City winning the title again. Tottenham dropping outside of Europe places. 

La Liga

Barcelona came close this time but it's still third in four for Real Madrid. No real surprises in La Liga.

Serie A

AC Milan surprise Serie A winner after back to back Europa League titles!

Bundesliga

Another title for Borussia Dortmund! Bayern must be furious!

Conference

Two teams that beat us - Bournemouth and Braga meets in finals as english side brings the trophy home. HNK Gorica made semifinals!

Europa League

Sevilla brings back the tradition of winning EL.

Champions League

PSG still without the CL title as they lose to Liverpool in semifinals, all english finals following Man City victory against Barcelona!

Two teams in CL! yay!

Another national star!

Should be easy?

[scarp]

July 2024

Chisinau was harder opponent that I expected but against Slovan it was an easy walk through the park. We also won the Supercup for third time in a row.

Come on!

Academy graduates:

This summer we got two defenders coming up from academy!

Transfers:

This time I decided to splash some cash, first one is Andi Ismaili, german CB with huge potential that will aim to replace our current CBs as they are aging. I wanted to sign someone a bit more experienced and Pyrdol was put on transfer list by Legia so I snatched him as he's polish and can play in three positions. Lastly Potsane is someone I have been watching nearly three years but he did not want to join earlier. He will be alternative to Bida.

August 2024

We destroyed Brondby at home and the rematch was just a boring game with one goal from a corner. Against Dinamo we managed to get decent result away and at home we controlled the game and won thanks to Potsane's hattrick which means we advanced to the CL group stage! In league we beat 2nd Legia 6-0 and we had one missed penalty in 90+5  

That's our balance doubled!

Well lets fight for the third place!

[scarp]

Nothing I can do as he would not sign a new contract without a release clause of this sort 

[scarp]

September 2024

Following Uzelac's departure we were perhaps little bit shook and we only drew with Pogon so we are not first going into October.

Edited July 22, 2021 by scarp

[scarp]

October 2024

We played an even game against Real Madrid that made me really proud. Following that we managed to beat Rangers and all the clubs we met in October, rightfully putting us back on the top of the table.

[scarp]

November 2024

We beat Rangers to advance to Europa League but in Ekstraklasa it was not the best month for us as we picked only one win and two draws. Bida and Potsane are struggling with finishing and noone else is stepping up.

[scarp]

December 2024

We lose to Real Madrid 4-0 as we were resting players but what really hurts is the loss against Korona in league. We are first but only two points ahead of Legia who has a game in hand so it will be way tougher battle than last year it seems.

Definitely not an easy opponent.

[scarp]

February 2025

We started well but then we saw a huge drop in form - first drawing against Arka at home and later on losing 4-1 to Legia so now we are even on 1st place in the league table. Against Dynamo it was rather easy matches as they surprised me with their incompetence. I had an argument with Potsane so hopefully it will sort itself out soon.

That's a hard draw.

As you can see from the goal scorers, I brought in a new player. For 3.4mil we signed Ondrej Machek from Slavia Prague, Ondrej should become our key player really quick and I am excited with his potential. Unfortunately he joined us a little bit late so he will not be availaible for Europa League.

March 2025

In league we played well and we are now top of the league with two games in hand. We also managed to qualify for Cup finals again. Now to the more important things - I did not have big expectations going into the game against Chelsea as they were the clear favourites. Soon we were down 0-2 at home and I thought about moving on but in 88th minute Lucki scored and gave us a hope. In the rematch we managed to score two quick goals after second half started and Chelsea only managed to score one, so we won on Stamford Bridge and went to play overtime. In 119th minute Zavisic managed to score with a header and sent us to the quarterfinals where we will face Everton!

[scarp]

April 2025

Everton was too good for us so this means an end to our european campaign in 2025. In league we were brilliant and are very close to another title. Domestic cup final against Lodz is next.

[scarp]

May 2025

Great month for us as we firstly win the cup final pretty easily against Lodz and then secure the title in the next game. Machek scored 9 goals in five games. I am little bit worried now as he has low release clause.

[scarp]

Jagiellonia Bialystok 2024/25

In the later stages of the season legia dropped the ball and we had an easy road to the title, also beating Jagiellonia points total record. We managed to beat Chelsea in Europa League so I am super happy with that. Lets see how we will do in Europe next season.

Yaxshiboyev might be the greatest name i’ve seen this FM  

Would love to hear English commentators attempt a pronunciation!

[scarp]

@Fudal it's actually a real life player - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasurbek_Yakhshiboev

[scarp]

July 2025

We win Super Cup once more and have a great start to new season.

 

Transfers

Gladbach paid Vuckovic's release clause but we signed Erakovic right away to replace him so should not be such a loss for us. Tiru was no longer good enough for us so I sold him back to his home country. Klima did not reach the potential so he was moved aswell. Bykov will start in academy, Nartey should provide some depth in the midfield, Pavisic hopefully can become our starting CB alongside Heidenreich.

[scarp]

August 2025

Fantastic month, we beat Sarajevo 11-0 at home to secure Champions League group stage. In league we did well as well but somehow only drew 0-0 vs Lodz.

It will be tougher than last year to get the third place.

 

Transfers

Brought in Stransky straight into the academy. Zurawski may become our starting goalie very soon and Manojlovic will be replacement for Nastic as he is aging.

[scarp]

September 2025

Man City are still on another level but we knew that already. Continuing great in league.

[scarp]

October 2025

Even though we are unstoppable in league, we completely **** the bed in Champions League and have 0 points after three games.

[scarp]

November 2025

Way better month in Europe as we confidently beat Villarreal and draw against Man City, problem is, Villarreal smashed Inter and now we have to win away at Inter and hope City beats Villarreal.

[scarp]

December 2025

We managed to beat Inter thanks to fantastic team effort and we finish third, meaning we advance to Europa League! Poland looks like a piece of cake at the moment.

We are the favourites here.

The only club so far interested about me.. twice already 

[scarp]

Winter transfer window

Bought two players - Dominik Filipp for over than 1mil and he should become our startign RB. Mrozek was a bit more expensive with 4mil price tag and he will hopefully become our starting ST in the future.

 

Academy graduate

As Nartey already signed new contract elsewhere, I sent him to reserves and brought up this guy.

[scarp]

Record signing

Board decided to raise the transfer budget by 14mil so I decided to splash the cash on this youngster.

February 2026

Fantastic month, we beat Lokomotiv 5-0 at home to advance in Europa League.

 

[scarp]

March 2026

Sebastian Kubica quickly introduced himself into the starting lineup as we sweep PAOK and will once more advance to Europa League quarterfinals. In league we are 17 points up with 10 to go.

I am not sure whether we can repeat last year!

[scarp]

April 2026

Terrible first half of the month as we get the first loss of the seaosn in league and then get smashed by Chelsea. Looks like they really wanted a revenge! After that we got back on the track and fans could celebrate third title in a row with six games to go.

We are still 250k under our wage budget which made me look into the salary per annum in Ekstraklasa and we are not even the highest spending team there.

[scarp]

May 2026

We secure the double once more against Lodz and break some records in league!

[scarp]

Season 2025/26

Overall the season was decent but I believe we could have played way better in Europe. Hopefully we make progress in next season. We managed to sign some top quality players in attacking half but are currently struggling with defense so I will be looking to find an experienced CB. Machek is currently the only player with release clause still and dont want to sign a new contract without it so we may lose him.

Key players:

 

[scarp]

July 2026

We win Super Cup and start well in the league thanks to Potsane's hattrick.

 

Transfers

We say good-bye to some of the long time players, namely Aioani, Lucki and Skok, who were no longer on the level we needed them to be. In return we brought in Van der Bergen from Aston Villa to gain some experience in defense. Edozie will provide depth on left wing, Javorek will be our 4th choice CB and we also signed Karbownik as he is polish, he was free and gerat all-rounder.

 

We also get significant money for Essahel that leaves Newcastle for RB Leipzig for 22mil.

[scarp]

August 2026

Continuing easily in league.

I think we have a chance to get out of this group.

Our two starting CBs 

[scarp]

September 2026

In league we win everything but in Champions League we struggle again similarly to last year. We are playing really well and the matches are very even but we just cant get any points.

[scarp]

October 2026

We beat Villarreal, advance in cup through Wisla and also continue our winning streak in league.

[scarp]

November 2026

We beat Villarreal but could not score against Milan so we are out of Champions League once more. In league we absolutely hammer Rakow who had the same points as we did before the game.

[scarp]

December 2026

Continuing with the fantastic form in league but so is Rakow.

 

This time I would really like to make at least semifinals in Europa League.

[scarp]

February 2027

It was goals galore versus OM but we managed to advance thanks to away goals in this universe still applicable  Against Lechia I am not sure what happened with our defence as this result doubled our conceded goals through out the whole season 

All teams from Premier League are strong however Bournemouth is currently 16th, so we should get through.

 

Transfers

Only one departure this winter. Ion Rasdan was no longer getting the minutes he wanted so when Steaua came with 3mil offer it was a nobrainer.

[scarp]

March 2027

Tough games against Bournemouth as they defended very well but in the end we were the better side and deserved to advance. We also advance to cup finals but lose two key players due to unnecessary aggresiveness of Rakow.

Hard opponent.

**** off Rakow.

[scarp]

April 2027

We were absolutely decimated by injuries in April but still somehow managed to beat Lazio. We lost just 1-0 against Leipzig so we have a chance although not a big one, especially considering we have to play 4 games in 9 days...

 

[scarp]

Is this a joke? How is this possible? That would never happen in real life.

[scarp]

May 2027

We won the Cup against 2nd tier side Radomiak, after that we played against Legia with basically our academy team and lost.. We rested all the players for EL semifinals and it was a great call as we comfortably beat Leipzig to secure finals against Chelsea thanks to Bida's hattrick. After that we were rotating quite heavily so I am surprised we won all the games and comfortably won the title again, even though Rakow played really well this year.

[scarp]

Europa League Final 2026/27

Absolute madness! We fielded our strongest lineup against Chelsea and quickly were up 2-0 after fantastic start. Tammy Abraham equalized just after the start of second half and we had to wait until 86th minute when Potsane scored from quick counter attack. It was looking very well for us but then in 90+4 Tammy scored again after corner kick. Everyone was looking forward for overtime when Zouma unenecessarily fouled Potsane in the box and Jagiellonia was awarded with penalty. 18-years old prodigy Sebastian Kubica scored a goal and Jagiellonia won Europa League, bringing fantastic success to Poland! 

[scarp]

Season 2026/27

No words. Fantastic season and we can celebrate a quadruple!
