This is great progress - I was surprised seeing Kobenhavn doing so bad, they are usually rocking it in my saves, both domestically and on the continent. Plus they always churn out great newgens. 

Thanks guys! Let's hope that our progress is not a temporary trend

The perfect way to go on winter break:

- be unbeatable in the league;

- qualify for ECL knock-out rounds;

- beat Kobenhavn in Cup game.

Proud of my guys

Nice career so far. Just one advice, start playing Schjeldrup in the first team. I signed him for my Marseille team in the summer after the first season. He had 2,5 stars when arriving and now three months into the season he is a 4 star player, my main creator and he scores a few too.  5 star potential too. He's development is lightning quick and he will become better than you older startes really fast.

Thanks. Schjelderup is already stable first team member. 15 games in the league: 1+3. 6.96 av. rat. But still there is a room for development. Nice kid.

You’re giving it a good go! Very unfortunate in the Europa League but progression from that group was always bound to be tricky.

Transfers

Walta went to gain experience at one of Norway's top teams.

 

Signed several young players for the future. Most notable incoming is our home-grown Frederiksen who is not really needed by Juventus and whose contract expires in the summer. The biggest barrier to a full contract in the future is his wage demands. 

Velkommen

3F Superliga/UEFA Europa Conference League/DBU Pokalen

We were almost FM`ed in match against Desna but luckily a good lead in the first leg saved us. Next opponent is Cypriot APOEL. In the league we are keeping our unbeaten run and even Kobenhavn could not defeat us.

[DefinitelyTaylor]

Ooo survived a fight-back and a half there from Desna! APOEL will be a tough tie but one I think you can overcome. 

[Vladis]

  MARCH 2022

3F Superliga/UEFA Europa Conference League/DBU Pokalen

Kobenhavn's second loss of the season in the last round allowed us to finish Preliminary Phase in the 1st place. AGF and AaB performance is significantly below expectations this year.

And our run in cups also continues. In ECL we defeated APOEL pretty confidently and now we will face Zenit in the quarterfinals. It looks like this will be the finish line. In DBU Pokalen we are closer to the final. Our next opponent is OB.

  APRIL 2022

3F Superliga/UEFA Europa Conference League/DBU Pokalen

Very hard month! Our performance against Zenit is sensational, we fully deserved this win. Feyenoord brought us down to earth in semifinals first leg but anyway I'm proud of our campaign in Europe. In the league we won crucial match against main title contenders Kobenhavn and made step forward to Cup final.

[Vladis]

This could be one of the greatest comebacks in my fm career and in some way it was but...anyway Feyenoord in the final. 

[DefinitelyTaylor]

That is unbelievably cruel.

  2021 - 2022 | SEASON REVIEW

Incredible season. We remained unbeaten in the league, although it wasn't easy. Also added the National Cup to our collection. And of course almost a sensation in the Conference League. The semi-final against Feyenoord should definitely go in the golden fund of the competition.

  2022 - 2023 | PRE - SEASON

Transfers. Roster overview.

Players out

It was clear from the start that it would not be possible to keep the most talented "Tigers" for long. We received good offers for Chukwuani, Christensen and Tetteh and wish them good luck in their future career. 

Players in

Hojer looks like good replace for Tetteh on the left flank.

Signed for free loan two young Doyles from Man City as we need some cover due to serious injures of Francis and Milosevic in pre-season.

Ollikainen and Dalsgaard are very promising young players. Will start in U19 next season.

3F Superliga/UEFA Champions League

 

Yes! We did it. The Champions League group stage means super interesting matches for us and of course money, lots of money (about 16M just for now). I'm really pleased with the draw. We will face top European teams and our fans have a chance to watch alive world stars like Neymar, Mbappe, Ronaldo etc.

In the league we started ok. I knew that sooner or later our winning run would come to an end but a little surprised that we would lose at home to an underdog.

[karanhsingh]

Well done, although that's a hard group!

[DefinitelyTaylor]

Hojer is an excellent signing. A decent start to the season - albeit losing to Koge will be viewed as a disappointment. Sometimes those results happen though and you reacted well. Congratulations on beating Olympiakos and securing a place in the group stages. A tricky group to overcome!

Yes, very hard group. But I think any group in CL would be tough for us and it's a good challenge - test ourselves against football giants.

Super hard September ends with a memorable comeback in Lisbon. Chances on EL slightly increase.

  OCTOBER - NOVEMBER 2022

3F Superliga/UEFA Champions League/DBU Pokalen

And we did it again! I'm very pleased with our performance in CL, two wins over Sporting and respectable games against the Juve and PSG. Not so many teams score 3 or more goals at Allianz Stadium.

Another unnecessary defeat brought us down to 3rd place but all the fight is yet to come.

---

None of our players are taking part in the world cup in Qatar. At the same time Atanga, Sulemana made their debut for Ghana national team in Africa Cup of Nations as well as Walta (currently on loan at Bodo/Glimt) who for the first time wore a Finnish jersey in a friendly match against Norway.

Third place in that group is very good, hopefully you get a winnable fixture in europa.

  DECEMBER - JANUARY 2022

I would say we are in period of turbulence. Two defeats in December allowed Kobenhavn to feel more comfortable at the top of the table. And surprising defeat in Cup against 2 tier side Lyngby.

January transfer window

Signed three very perspective youngsters for decent price.

Antwi is the only real footballer among those youngsters.

  FEBRUARY - MARCH 2023

It was only after the final whistle against Lille when I realised to my shame that the new Europa League format does not involve a second leg in the First KO round. But anyway we looked competitive against on of the strongest French sides and this is fine. 

And strong finish of the Preliminary round allowed us get closer to the first place.

Youth intake

Not the best youth intake. We got only one really perspective youngster.

 

 

[abulezz]

Just caught up reading the save - Falster has got good pace and technique with a good personality. He has the looks of becoming a left winger for you.

He looks almost perfect. I see main focus in improving his finishing as it's crucial for inside wingers in my tactical system. 

[karanhsingh]

Lille was a tough draw all right. Yes it's only one leg if you enter the first knockout round.

This third championship in a row was not easy for us. But I have seen that our young team has strong character. We should be proud of our performance in Europe - two wins over Sporting and third place in the group with Juve and PSG is a very good achievement.

Future Plans

Three seasons are behind us - sufficient time to draw some conclusions and plan a future strategy. In three years we have achieved significant success both in Denmark and on the European stage. We have managed to enhance the club's reputation and bring some serious money into the club. 

For myself, I have determined that it is time for a more in-depth approach to the club's development. I have a whole project (in my head for now ) with the working title "FCN - Vision 2028". In this project, I intend to outline the main directions of club development (youngsters, player&staff recruitment, tactical and training approach, finances etc.). 

As I am limited in time, the presentation of the plan will be sequential and in small parts (most likely). Also I plan some analysis of past seasons. So stay tuned.

Hi Ben. Three or four players through all of intakes. Main problem is work permit rules. I don`t know how it works IRL but in fm i should pay minimum 850 p/w for non-EU first contract. Interesting that next contract for those players could start from 425 p/w. So for now I  have only two Ghanaians in youth squad. One is really top prospect and another is quite good but still don`t have WP, he trains with the squad but I haven't decided whether to offer him a contract or release from the club.

What about forward planning - I love it too but I have some problems with its written description. I'm not so comfortable with long texts in English cause it's not native language for me but I'll try and do my best.

Thanks for the last couple of updates, always useful and interesting to see how the development of the league. It’s a shame to see a bit of a decline but hopefully that can be rectified in the coming years as you begin to establish yourselves at the top of the domestic game and kick-on from there.

Thanks for your interest. I'm working on how I could make my updates more informative under time deficit. Yes, I hope If we could make some good campaigns in Europe next few years Danish league should rise again in rankings.
