Coming out on the right side of the "curse of the 2s"

That is true!

[Warg92]

June 2026

That makes it five games in a row that has finished 2-1 to us!

Our main striker, Marius Bekkemoen (YP02d), broke his leg in the second game of the season, and he has been our main source of goals for the two last seasons. That might be why we don't score more than two goals. At least we're winning! And we actually have a decent gap down to second place as well.

[Warg92]

July 2026

Two more games with the results being 2-1. We were on the wrong side in one of the games however. But we bounced back and won the game against second placed Klemetsrud. So there is still six points to the second placed team!

[Warg92]

August 2026

A really bad month, and suddenly we are only one point ahead.

[Warg92]

September 2026

We're back to winning ways, and we are two points ahead of Høybråten og Stovner IL going in to October! We face them in the last game of the season.

[Warg92]

Youth Intake Preview

Every single one has been like this. I don't trust it

[Warg92]

Another promotion! We actually got promoted before we played the last game, as Høybråten & Stovner drew their second to last game.

I feel like this year was our luckiest yet, a lot of the games we have played over this season could have gone either way. With a little less luck, we would have been a lot closer to the bottom of the table.

Youth Intake 2027

I have to admit that I am disappointed with this years youth intake. I know all of them have 5* potential, but I can't see anyone that really stands out. There is also a lot of bad personalities this season. Jørund Vesaas (YP05a) could be good player for us though.

 

Top three sorted by CA

This guy could be good. I don't have enough knowledge of the different personalities, so I have no idea how bad Light-Hearted is. It can't be as bad as Unambitious though?

 

[Warg92]

Really bad news as we lose one of our best players for a year. PotS in the season we just finished

[Warg92]

Pre Season 2027

Big wins, big losses and draws. Everything we could ask for in pre season!

 

We are predicted to finish mid table this season. But the Third and Second teams we have in our group is almost impossible to rate in terms of quality.

[Warg92]

April 2027

I am pretty happy with how we have started life in a new league. In the Bøler game we were really bad, but other than that I am happy!

We actually top the league table after this month, but we have of course played two more games than the teams right behind us.

[Warg92]

May 2027

A perfect month! I am a bit surprised that we are tied at the top of the league though, as I felt we struggled at the start of the season. One of the reasons for the good start is that our main man up top, Marius Bekkemoen is back in top form. He missed a lot of last season with injuries.

[Warg92]

June 2027

It was a good month until we faced KFUM Oslo 3. They truly hammered us. Again, I have to say that we are a bit too vulnerable when Marius Bekkemoen (YP02d) is out.

 

That is the first upgrade in many years. And I am really surprised they agreed to do this as, we're 40k in the red!

Edited November 15, 2022 by Warg92

[Warg92]

July 2027

I was slightly worried when Bekkemoen (YP02d) had a bad game in the 0-3 defeat last month, turns out we have other players that can score as well. A very good win againt Bøler!

Only four points of the top, with a game in hand.

[Warg92]

August 2027

A perfect month and we're top of the league! Could we win the league yet again?

[Warg92]

September 2027

The results in the other games have gone our way this month, and with us winning both of our games we're league winners with two games to go!

After the start we had this year, with only two out of five games won, I'd never thought it would be possible to get promoted, but we really turned it around!

 

[Warg92]

Youth Intake Preview

The ratings does not matter at all, but at least it should be a good one!

[Warg92]

Yet another incredible season that ends in a promotion for us!

8 points clear at the top is a big surprise however. Especially after the start we had, I thought we would be a mid table team at end of the season. Six promotions in a row. It will probably not be seven.

Wow! This is something else! Top five will probably go straight in to the starting XI. But yet again, the personalities is not the best.

Our first taste of the Norwegian Cup!

This is the how my scout rated the team we faced in terms of quality.

Should be be easy

 

Could have been worse I guess

[Warg92]

Pre Season 2028

Decent.

 

This might actually be the first season we will struggle in the league. Survival is the goal, fingers crossed.

[Warg92]

March/April 2028

Well, this is a surprise! The games we've won has been only one goal though, so it could have gone either way.

May 2028

Still doing way better than we should to be honest. But who am I to complain?

Three clean sheets this month as well, that is not normal for us!

[Warg92]

First player to be called up!

[Warg92]

June 2028

Really annoyed with the two last games of the month. The teams we faced are 11th and 12th. Should have beaten them. We're still second though!

 

I have other problems at the moment. One our best players, certainly the best CM in the squad, has decided to become really annoying.

[Warg92]

July 2028

Even after winning just winning one out our six last games we're second! The next game is against Årvoll.

Not a great month. But in reality, this is how it should have looked from the start.

Man, the second half of this season has been horrible.

Youth Intake Preview

Last season we had a great youth intake after a preview like this. I would be very happy if we could have anything similar this time around!

[Warg92]

I was slightly disappointed with how we played in the second half of the season, but in reality I should be very happy with this. It was our first season in the fifth tier, and by finishing fourth we finished six places above where we were expected to finish. Another youth intake with the same quality we had going in to this season, and we could finish even higher next year!

I really don't know what the board is thinking. "Very Disappointed" with the "Developing Young Players" tab.

I've had it before with the developing players and failed it in Youth only. I think it only counts the players on youth contracts. Ignoring the rest of the squad as they were on full contracts despite coming through at club

[Warg92]

Good news on the first of January 2029!

That might be the case. Failing it while doing a youth only is quite ridiculous

[Warg92]

Youth Intake 2029

This youth intake is absolutely insane! We might have an entire new starting XI here! My favourites are Dag Egil Lillo (YP07b), Oliver Mills (YP07d) and Miguel Estemo Gaylon (YP07c).

Same with me! 7559 days without signing a player but the board are disappointed.

They need to have something to complain about really

[Warg92]

Pre Season 2029

A good pre season ends with a huge 2-6 defeat. Every single game we lost this time around was against teams in the leagues above us.

 

We are still predicted to finish near the bottom, but I believe we will be closer to the other end of the table.

[Warg92]

April 2029

The new boys have settled in well! A very good start to the season. For some reason we're not in the Norwegian Cup this year.

 

[Warg92]

May 2029

Another decent month. We are the only team that has beaten Fagerborg.

[Warg92]

June 2029

12 out of 15 points this month. I am happy with that!

[Warg92]

July 2029

Two more wins on the board. Even better, we have a 7 point gap down to third placed Lommedalen.

[Warg92]

August 2029

A perfect month! We beat both of the teams that got relegated last season.

 Seven points clear of Lommedalen now. Five games to go. Should be doable

[Warg92]

September 2029

Promotion! The players we got in the last youth intake has really been the difference this season. Two games to go, we need one point to win the league.

Edited November 17, 2022 by Warg92

Youth Intake Preview

I think this is the first time the ratings has been 4.5* instead of 5*. Still looking great though! If it is anything close to the last one, I will be amazed!

[Warg92]

Not a very exciting end to the season, but it does not matter at all, as we managed to win the league! Second most scored goals, and second best defence as well.

Both of the teams that got promoted last season from this group just got relegated. Finishing bottom of two different groups. So next year will be really tough. That is when the hardest part starts.

Another great youth intake! The two best here will probably be starters for the upcoming season. For the first time ever we have one player that is not 5/5* PA!

 

Top five sorted by CA.

[Warg92]

For the first time we have two players called up for international duty! Both of them are Goalkeepers.

[Warg92]

Pre-Season 2030

Unbeaten in the pre-season friendlies.

 

Survival is the only goal this season. It will be tough, of that I am sure.

[Warg92]

March/April 2030

Four points in the first two games of the season. A very good start

 

Norwegian Cup (NorgesMesterskapet)

For some reason we did not take part in the NM last season, but this time around we were a part of it. We had a decent cup run, even though it ended in a 2-4 defeat against Brann.

We were incredible in that game though, and even though we conceded four goals (should have been more), I am happy with how it turned out. Brann is an Eliteserien team, and after seven games played, they're fourth.

[Warg92]

May 2030

We started the month with two good wins, then thing went bad.

The 2nd/3rd teams are very difficult teams to face, as you never know who they will send out.

We are mid-table so far, if we can stay around that place this season I'll be happy!

 

*edit*

The reason for Lillestrøm 2 name being pink, is that the board decided a senior affiliate was necessary for some reason
