Jyväskylän Jalkapalloklubi (JJK) Season review Season 6 | 2028 League table | Finances | Facilities | Transfers |Youth intake| Tactic | Affiliated Clubs| Club overview | Manager Profile And that is our 4th league title in a row! It was a much tougher season, as we won the title on the final day. KuPS and SJK both had a very good season, so it was a more exciting season then the last seasons. We also won the Cup for the first time in history, so we won the double! But even more important: we qualified for the Champions League league phase for the first time!! We had a fantastic campaign, we won against FC Balkani(Kosovo), FK Sutjeska Nikšić(Montenegro), Ludogorets 1945 Razgrad (Bulgaria) and Bohemians Praha 1905 (Czech Republic). And with the win against Bohemians, we qualified for the League Phase of the CL!! Hello money, but also hello topclubs. We are directly facing the strongest teams: FC Barcelona, Liverpool, PSG, Ajax, PSV and Kobenhavn. So if we can get just one point, I'll be happy Best players this season were topscorer Juha Eerola 24c, who scored 41 goals in total; shadow striker Lauri Lindberg 25c, who now holds a new CL Average Rating Record as well, striker Fred Diakité 23k, striker Arttu Leivonen, defenders Tommi Tulppo 24d and Janne Kouhia 26i, and goalkeeper Tuomas Saarinen 23b, who scored 5 goals from Free Kicks this season. The Finnish Football is slowly rising. Hopefully within a couple of seasons we'll get some more CL places, and I don't have to start in the very first round anymore. And with the big CL money, our board was finally ready to build a new stadium! And beside that, also our Training Facilities will get another upgrade. So we are now almost at the point where we maxed out our facilities. Hopefully we are also able to upgrade our Youth Facilities again. Youth intake

Look at this! This is the last match squad of Finland. No less dan 7 JJK Academy Players were in the First XI! And 3 more on the bench, so 10 (former) JJK players in the National Squad.

Jyväskylän Jalkapalloklubi (JJK) European season 2027/2028 review Our European season was again a good one, we are really making progress. It all started in 2027 in the Champions League, where we lost in the Playoff against FK Qarabag. With this result we qualified for the Europa League. Here we grabbed a total of 13 points, which I'm very happy with. We had some nice wins against Young Boys, Servette, Shamrock Rovers and AEK. We qualified for the Knock Out Playoff Round, but here we lost against Rangers. They were just too strong for us. But overall I'm very happy with out progress. Some other nice news is that we found another foreign affiliate club. We now have a link with FK Viktoria Zizkov! A club I managed myself some months ago for this challenge. So it's really nice to have them as an affiliate club. They currently play in the 2nd Tier of Czech Republic, where they hold the 2nd place. So we now have a German and a Czech club; let those foreign players come to Finland! Last but not least: I made some new kits. We switched back to our normal home kit colours. And because of our grown reputation, we found a new sponsor in Spotify.

Okay, just minutes after I wrote my Season Review I played a Europa League match against Young Boys. It was one of the best matches of JJK I have witnessed. What a match, what a result!

Jyväskylän Jalkapalloklubi (JJK) Season review Season 5 | 2027 League table | Finances | Facilities | Transfers |Youth intake|Affiliated Clubs| Club overview | Manager Profile Our third consecutive league title! I can safely say that we are now one of the best team in Finland. Only SJK can follow us. Even HJK isn't a threat anymore. They were fighting for relegation this season. A nice message in my Manager Timeline as well: on 30 May 2027 we played a match with academy players only. And I entered the Finland Hall of Fame. Best player this seaon was, by far, our striker Juha Eerola 24c. He scored 33 goals in total, together with 8 assists. With this in mind, the next message came as a total shock. Below-par performances? Poor run of form? Come on! Other good players this season were Alexandr Shavlokhov 25a, Arttu Leivonen(I found a real face picture of him), Tuomas Saarinen 23b(our GK who scored 7 goals), Fred Diakité 23k and Lauri Lindberg 25c. We managed to upgrade our Training- and Youth Facilities. Both of them are ready within the next monts. Europe As posted before, our European campaign started in the 1st Qual. Round of the CL. We managed to get into the Playoff Round, and lost against FK Qarabag. So we didn't qualify for the Champions League, but we did qualify for the Europa League League Phase. | We lost our first two matches against Valerenga and Frankfurt. The third match against Villareal was a 0-0 draw at home. We were very lucky, so it was a very welcome point. Youth intake The preview was a bad one, with only one A. So I had very low expectations about this intake. The intake itself was indeed not a very promising one. Only Mika Suoraniemi 27a looks like a very promising talent, but I got doubts about the others. We now have one foreign affiliate club (Braunschweig TSV Eintracht), so hopefully we'll get some German players in our intakes in the next seasons. This intake was without any foreigners. EDIT: I forgot to mention that our U20-team won the Finnish U20 Premier League title for the first time! It was even the first time that my U20 team was invited for a youth league.

Finally promoted! Good luck next season

Well, it wasn't meant to be... I hate Qarabag

Wow! What a result in the Champions League 3rd Qual. Round! We lost the first match against Rangers at home with 2-3. So I thought I had no chance away. But we really blew them away! We played fantastic and won 0-4. What a result!! So, that means we will meet FC Qarabag again! Last season we lost against them in the 1st Qual. Round, so it's time for revenge. And if we do, we qualify for the Champions League! But if we lose, we are still qualified for the Europa League. So either way we'll continue our European story after this match

Intake 2027 preview Pfew, this is a bad looking preview, to be honest. I appointed Cato André Hansen as my new HoYD, as he looks like a decent HoYD. But this first preview doesn't look good. Hopefully the intake will be better then this!

European campaign 2026/2027 Conference League While the Finnish season still needs to start, apart from the Cup, we played some matches in Europe. It started in the League Phase of the Conference League. We managed to grab 7 points. We won against Viking FK(Norway) and FC Shakhter Soligorsk(Belarus), and played 0-0 against Maccabi Tel-Aviv. Whis these results we managed to qualify for the Knock Out Play Off Round, where we met FC Kobenhavn again. But we really had no chance at all against the nr. 1 of Denmark. Overall I'm very happy with our first real European adventure. Those European matches were the first matches that we played in our new kits for season 2027. Our new home kit was previously our third kit. It's based on their real-life home kit from some years ago. I'm having fun creating my own kits.

Have fun with your one-day-holiday

Jyväskylän Jalkapalloklubi (JJK) Season review Season 4 | 2026 League table | Finances | Facilities | Transfers |Youth intake| Club overview | Manager Profile A very good season for us. We managed to win the league for the 2nd time in a row! We still lost 7 games, but most of them were at the end of the season when most of our players were very tired due to the European games. The European season starts just before the Finnish season ends, so sometimes we had to play 3 matches in one week. That was something we couldn't manage, so we lost some matches we would probably have won when playing at full strength. But the good thing is: we qualified for the Conference League League Phase! Our European adventure started in the First Qual. Round of the Champions League, where we lost against Qarabag. Next we met FC Prishtina (Kosovo) and we won both matches. In the last round, the 4th Qual. Round, we met Glentoran (Northern Ireland). We also won both matches against them, and so we qualified for the Conference League League Phase! We already played two matches: we won away against Viking, while we played 1-1 at home against Maccabi tel-Aviv. So a very good start for us! Best players(without those who has been sold) this season were Juha Eerola 24c, Arttu Leivonen, Fred Diakité 23k, Daniil Konov 23f and Erik Autio 24g. Transferwise we had a very tough season. So looking at that, the fact we won the league surprised me a bit, because we had to sell some very good players. The good thing is that we got a LOT of money from these transfers, but the bad thing is that we sold six players from our starting XI. So we had to build a winning team again, with some very young players. With the money we could start upgrades to our Training- and Youth Facilities. Both upgrades will be ready withing a couple of weeks. Most notable players that left us were Kalle Haglund 23a, Joonas Tuomela 23h, Janne Eriksson 23e, Jarkko Nyberg 24f, Risto Pietilä 24e and Ilkka Jokela 23i. Youth intake The preview was a good one, with 3 A's. The intake itself, again with Tim Sparv(my U20 manager) as the one who's responsible for the intakes, was a very good one. A bag full of Elite Talents, with Ville Kavén 26b as the cream of the crop. I'll give him a place in my first team squad right away.

My team, JJK from Finland, is playing against Glentoran in the Europa Conference League Qual. Round. I decided to give a young goalkeeper a chance. He has '10' for Free Kicks, so I put his name on the sheet to take direct free kicks. And this is the result, in his very first match:

I'm back in Finland! I couldn't connect with my team in Hungary, so I decided to go back to this save. Season 2026 is almost over, so my next update will follow soon

I'm back in Hungary! This time I'll give it a try with Kaposvári Rákóczi FC. I tried to replicate their real-life kits, and I quite like them. There's some nice money in the bank, so hopefully it's possible to upgrade some facilities this season already. I was able to start my first coaching course right away. There are 5 incoming transfers, and one outgoing. I'll try to sell these incoming players as soon as possible.

****... I need to put my save with NK Celik on hold. I thought this was a stable file, as I read some good things about it. But in my second season my team is not playing in the Cup. I can't continue this save, knowing that we will not enter the Cup. In this screenshot you'll see 11 teams from the Premijer Liga. It'a a league with 12 teams. We are the 12th team..... So yeah, that's it then. Pfffff.

NK Čelik Zenica Season 1 | 2023/2024 Prva Liga Federacije (2nd Tier) League table | Finances | Facilities | Transfers |Transfers out |Youth intake| Club overview | Manager Profile What a superb season this was! My first season in Bosnia, and we won the league(2nd Tier) with 12 points ahead of the nr. 2. Fantastic! We also had a good Cup run, where we lost in the Qtr Finals against top-flight opponent FK Borac Banja Luka. Our best player this season was striker Emir Čančar, who scored 32 goals in 35 matches. But also Armin Šarić, Fenan Salčinović and Selim Žuna where key players for us this season. As you can see in the Transfer screens, and what I mentioned in my first post, is that there were three incoming transfers when I took over the club. I released two of them immediately, and the third player was released in October. My current squad got some really old players. One of them is retireing after this season. The other two won't play a lot of games next season, because they are declining very fast. Salcinovic is one of them and was very important this season, but will not play a big part next season. So that means that I will use al of of youngsters from this years intake next season. I was not able to upgrade any of our facilities this season. Youth intake 2023 As mentioned in my previous post, the preview was very promising. This is the actual intake. Four Elite Talents, and some of them looks really promising. Some of these players already played some matches this season. Next season is all about staying up, nothing else. I've got a good feeling about staying up, because of our good season and the scoring abilities in this squad.

NK Čelik Zenica Season 1 |2023/2024| Mid-season review Well, life is good here in Bosnia & Herzegovina! The start is very, very good. Halfway our first season we are standing 1st in the Prva Liga Federacije(2nd level). We got some really good players for this level. I've got 21 players to select, and sometimes after an injury or multiple bans I need to select a grey player. But overall I can't be happier with this start! We are 6 points ahead of nr 2 FK Budućnost Banovići, so if we continue this form in the second half of the season, we got a very good chance to become champions. Best players so far are Emir Čančar, Fenan Salčinović and Armin Šarić. Striker Emir Čančar is having the best season of his life so far. He scored 23 goals in 20 matches, and also has 7 assists on his name. And he's still 21 years old, so hopefully he'll become even better. But also Armin Šarić is still 22 years old, so beside some really old players we also got some nice youngsters. Youth intake preview I hired former Slovenian international Robert Koren as my HoYD. And this looks like a very promising preview!! I can't wait until intake-day to see what we get.

NK Čelik Zenica Well, here we go then. I finally found a stable Bosnian database. I tried two others, but one of them doesn't have a promotion-relegation from their second league. And the other file was broken unfortunately. Everytime I checked the Projection-screen at Finances, the game just stopped working. But now I finally found a database that's working how it should be. So I can also finally start a youth only save in Bosnia! Something I wanted to do for a very long time. And this club in particulair. NK Celik Zenica is one of the most prominent and succesful Bosnian clubs. They are 7th on the All Time Premier League Table. But due to financial troubles, the club got relegated to the 4th Division. Their financial troubles aren't over nowadays. But they are back on the 3rd level, and hold the first place in real life after 15 matches. So it sounds like a fantastic challenge to me, to bring them back where they belong, and make them the most succesful Bosnian club ever. Some Wiki info: So yeah, here we go! Bosnia got two playable leagues, so I'll start at the 2nd level of Bosnia. The club already have three incoming transfers, and one outgoing. I won't use those incoming players. Unfortunately Eldar Sivac, who's leaving us for Posusje, is one of our best players. And this is the Club Overview. I made these kits by using FM Kit Creator and it's based on their current real-life kits. The starting point of our facilities is just great. I really hope that it'll give me a kickstart.

@darren1983 Un updated map of completed countries in Europe

Congrats, @ludak!! Well done, you are the first one in Serbia

Well, that was a very short spell at BKV Elore in Hungary. Got sacked after 20 games, lost almost everything. We promoted too fast Looking for a new adventure, but not sure where yet.

BKV Előre Football Club Season review Season 1 | 2023/2024 Well, this was unexpected. We managed to finish 2nd, and gain direct promotion to the highest divion: OTP Bank Liga!!! What a great success. I'm really not sure if we are good enough for that, but I'm not complaining But yeah, what a season it was. ZTE was a level apart this season, but there were several teams fighting for that second place. We were only an outsider. We slowly climbed up the table and after about 22 matches we were very close to that second place. After 29 matches we became 3rd, but the marges were very small. We managed to grab the 2nd place and with just one match to go, we only had to win our match. And that's what we did. We won 3-0, and that sealed the promotion! I never thought it was possible with this team to gain direct promotion. Ádám Ihos became topscorer of the league with 26 goals. Other important players were Gábor Kubó, Norman Szabó and Attila Busai. Upgrades I had to ask the board every month for it, but we finally managed to get our first upgrades! Both the Youth Recruitment and Junior Coaching are upgraded. Our Training- and Youth Facilities not; we don't have enough money for that yet.| Youth intake The youth intake preview was promising. The intake itself gave is four Elite Talents. But the state of our current facilities is quite bad, so I don't expect any wonders. I'm just very happy we finally have a U19 squad full of youngsters. It will give me some more backup-options next season.

I'm also off to Hungary! I enjoyed my save in Finland with JJK, but I really dislike the fact that, after qualifying for European football, you'll have to wait almost one whole year to start playing the first European match. So I'll put that save on hold, and I decided to give Hungary a go. I chose BKV Előre Football Club, mainly because of their club colours. I just love yellow and blue, as I'm a big supporter of SC Cambuur in real life. But it's also a small club from a big city: Budapest. So a lot of potential to grow as a club. I'm already 11 matches underway. The start went okay. We won our first two matches, but then lost 6 of the next 7 matches. I tweaked my tactic a bit, by making it a bit less attacking. And that resulted in three straight wins. Our striker Ádám Ihos started fantastic, by scoring 12 goals in 11 matches, with 4 goals in his last match.
