IFK Lidingö Season 14 / 2037 Last season we only survived in the 2nd tier trough relegation playoffs. this year I was hoping for a stable midtable position. Team just kept winning and winning and we finnished the league in 3rd position and qualified to promotion playoffs. we really denied the odds as we had preseason odds of 250 and we overachieved the XG tablle by 10points. First leg in promotion playoffs we draw 0-0 with IK Sirius. So we are heading to the away leg with a change to promote. In the away leg we were just outplayed by a better team. In the cup we one draw and 2 losses in the group stage and qualified to next yaers group stage. Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A was our best player once again with 14 goals and 10 assists. Younger Söderström brother Andreas was in a fine form as well with 11 goals and 7 assists. Simon Didrik 30C has developed nicely and is now one of the best GKs in the league. Jesús Larsson 35B has made remarkable progress ans is outgrowing this club. Youth intake. Johan Svensson 37A is looking promising. he was driven when he came in, but squad is just filled with low ambition and determination players so he aint that driven anymore. He needs some retraining as he is just too short for a CD role. Transfers No changes in facilities of finances we still have by far the cheapest team in the league

IFK Lidingö season 13 / 2036 Season started nicely with a 9 match unbeaten run and at the end of july we had 4 wins 10 draws and oly 1 loss. Suddenly all started to collapse. We had a 11 match winless run and we found ourselves on relegation playoff spots. We managed to win 3 of our last 4 matches and avoided direct relegation. So we had a thrilling relegation playoff waiting for us. 1st leg was away against Sandvikens IF. They got the early lead but we dominated the rest of the match and got a 2-1 away win. I was hopefull ahead of home lag as we had dominated the away leg. Things weren't that straight forward. They once again got the early lead and tied the aggregate, but we were still staying up with away goals. on the second half they pulled another goal and we were going down. on 83rd minute sub winger Kenan Durakovic 31E scored the crucial goal to tie on aggregate. He only had scored one goal during the whole regular season. Extra time was waiting. We dominated the extra time and scored 3 goal and Kenan Durakovic 31E completed his hat trick on penalty spot. A really narrow survival. In Cup we advanced to the group stage. Andreas Söderström 31A was in fine form with 13 goals and 8 assists mainly from right wing. Simon Didrik 30C took responsibilities of first choise GK. transfers. No major sales this year. Youth intake was decent. Viktor Niklasson 36A is looking promising, he can play as striker, winger or CM/playmaker. Håkon Nilsen 36B is a promising right back. No changes in facilities. Finances are ok, I suppose. Slight increase in home attendances and sponsorship deals.

IFK Lidingö season 12 / 2035 The season started pretty well with 10 point from first 5 matches. Then suddenly we couldn't win anything. We only took 6 point from the next 14 matches. We were almost 11 points behind XG table. Luckily we had another turnaround with 7 wins from the next 9 matches. We finished the season 12th with 37 points. Mid season we sold our star winger Jens Mölder 32A for a record fee 525K€. Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A was our top performer with 7 goals and 9 assists. josip Kalinic 28F was our top goal scorer with 9 goals. Thomas Meunier was also in fine form with 5 goals and 7 assists. Ayberk Karagöz 27B left on free transfer after the season as he ran out of contract. Youth intake was pretty good with Gabriel Johansson 35A, Jesús Larsson 35B and Rasmus Ohlander 35C as the most promising talents. We signed all but the two casual youngsters with low potential. transfers Finances are not looking too good. we only managed to break even with half a million transfer fee received. No upgrades in facilities or youth side. The manager

Mid season update IFK Lidingö Things are looking bad again. I really don't know whats going on. We just can't win matches on this level like two seasons ago alike. We are allready 10.9 points short of XG points. youth preview

IFK Lidingö Season 11 / 2034 We were prepared to fight for immediate promotion after last seasons relegation. Squad was up to the task and secured the title 3 matches in advance. In cup we lost to premierleague side AIK in second round. In preseason we sold our best goal scorer Marcus Wikman 30B for a record fee €325K. Jonatan Sletsøe 30A returned to form with 20 goals and 9 assists and avg rating 7,55. Josep Kalinic 28F scored 14 goals. Thomas Meunier 27A was in fine form with 12 assists. Youth intake was nice. James Kyambadde 34A is a promising looking defensive midfielder. transfers Youth facilities were uppgraded Let's see if we can put up a better fight agains relegation than last time.

IFK Lidingö Season 10 / 2033 After promotion and turning pro we ran into all sorts of trouble. Early in the season all other clubs wanted to buy most of our players with ridiculous cheap offers. So we ended up having most of our squad moaning about leaving. obviously we couldn't just sell our first 11. One reason for desire to leave must be our really low reputation. We were playing in second tier (top 32) but our reputation was only ranked number 72. The spirit was low and we couldn't win matches even when we would dominate them. we were doomed to relegation scrab. two rounds to go we were 6 points below relegation line. we managed to win the penultimate match and climb within reaching distace of staying up. in the last round we took 1-0 lead and all other results were going our way, untill disaster striked once again. We finished the league on last position with only 20 points from 30 matches. in XPTS table we were 14 points higher so we could have done a lot better. Board was far from pleased with Per-Olevs performance and they called up five emergency meetings during the season. I always told them they wouldn't find anyone better to replace club icon Per-Olev and they everytime agreed with that. Marcus Wikman 30B was the onle real higlight in squad. He scored 17 goals and was league top goal scorer. Jonatan Sletsjøe 30A was the dissapointment after becoming complacent with new contract and turning from resolute to fairly determined. He missed trainings 3 times due to some nightclub parties. Youth intake was decent at most. we haven't done any progress in youth setup for years. Samuel Waldholm 33A has potential but needs some mentoring. transfers financially we are fine. yout axpences skyrocketed after turning pro but for the first time we received some price money from league. facilities are the same and after elections the new board deceided to stop the affiliation we had with Norby IF. Per-Olev Forsberg

IFK Lidingö season 9 / 2032 We started the season with a nice 11 match unbeaten run. We allways stayed in contention and finally we were tied 1st placed before the last mach against Sylvia who tied the 1st place with us. We went 2-0 up in the first half but they came back to tie the game 2-2. This means we won the first division south title on goal difference and got promoted. We scored the most and conceded the least goals in the league. After securing promotion the board decided to turn professional. In Swedish cup we defeated premier division side Kalmar FF to qualify to the group stage. Squad Jonathan Sletsjøe 30A (MC/AP) was our best player with 17 goals and 13 assists and avg rating 7,65 in 32 games. Hugo Lemne was getting old and declining so we needed some one to step in as CD. Jesper Bergtoft 30E was given a chance as he was the highest potential centreback we had. He also player pretty well. Mid season we sold one of our best players Emil Starfet 29A as he had declered intentions to leave. Sletsjøe 30A Bergtoft 30E Youth intake Youth intake was nice. no one to make immediate impact but some nice potential players. Jens Mölder 32A was given some playing time. Finances are looking good and facilities are still the same. transfers Per-Olev is now a club icon Our attendances declined slighly perhaps due to not having any local enemies in 1st division south.

IFK Lidingö Season 8 / 2031 After finishing 4th and 3rd previous two seasons, I was hoping we could fight for pomotion playoffs this season. Allmost all hopes of promotion were thrown away after just eight matches and five losses. After that we made a great comeback just to finish one point short of promotion playoffs. In cup we lost on second round. After bad start of campaign I was planning to sell Philip Palmén 28A as he was not willing to renew his contract. I decided to keep him as he wasn't worth that much and he might eventually sign a new contract. Well.. now he's gone and we are lacking one quality winger. Frej Ahlin 27D had a fine season with 11 assist as DL. Jonatan Sletsjøe 30A took over central midfield duties and scored 11 goals and 5 assists. Ömerhan Küçük 28C scored 10 goals as striker. Thomas Meunier 27A and Emil Starfelt 29A also had fine seasons as wingers. I've been wery impressed with Frej Ahlin 27D's development so far, I never tough he could develop so much as semi-pro. Youth prewiev was promising some quality central defenders, but I guess HOYD was just joking once again. we are really lacking some CD as Hugo Lemne is 32y and declining and no one really challenging for his place. Actual intake was fine. Andreas Söderström immediately took his place in rotation. No major changes off the field. finances and facilities pretty much the same as before. transfers Per-Olev I was quite suppriced after the season. We were drawn into 1st Division South instead of North as usual.

One thing I forgot to mention in last season update. We got a new senior affiliate. I was looking forward to get some extra income. Not the income I was looking for. Maybe I should just cancel the affiliate but atleast we get a good yearly frendly.

IFK Lidingö season 7 / 2030 Well, what can I say, kinda mixed feelings about the season. We didn't play as well as last season and we only got 49 points compared to last seasons 57 points. Somehow we still found ourselves fighting for promotion and finished the season on 3rd place. Teams were extreme close to each other with only 10 points between 3rd and 14th place. In Swedish Cup we lost on first round. Squad Frej Ahlin 27D came back from loan spells and was just brilliant on LD position with 8 assists. Calle Sjöberg was our top goalscorer with 8 goals and 9 assists. Brenner Toris who scored 20 goals two years ago lost his streak totally. He scored 3 goals early in the season and then only one penalty goal in the last 23 league games. Omerhan Kücük 28C was retrained as striker to fill in out of form Brenner Toris and Pourshahidi who had a long term injury. I'm finally considering droping Eliah Kronholm to a backup GK. He just concedes too many easy goals. We have two promising GKs Landström 28B and Simon Didrik 30C. Youth intake was pretty nice. Jonatan Sletsjøe 30A and Marcus Wikman 30B allready took their places in rotation. transfers Finances are pretty similar to last year and no progres in facilities either.

IFK Lidingö Season 6 / 2029 We had a fine season on the field. We finished the season 4th in 1st Division North. Record high and points so far for us. In Swedish cup we lost to Premier division side Gevle IF second year in a row. We lost in 2nd round both years. We lost our star player Milorad Mijailović 25A after the season as he was unwilling to extend his contract. Jovan Anderberg 28G and Ayberk Karagöz 27B stepped in as new fullbacks. Thomas Meunier 27A had a fine season with 7 goals and 14 assists. Youth Intake was really nice, altough we could do with some quality defenders as well. Emil Starfelt 29A is a nice looking winger. Christoffer Söderström 29B might develop into a quality DM. transfers I think we have found the equilibrium on junior coaching expenses. We are using 547K€ of our yearly 950K€ revenue on youth setup. I guess we can't afford any higher expenses. No changes in facilities this year.

IFK Lidingö Season 5 / 2028 We had a fine season. We were fighting for promotion untill the last five games or so. We had 1/5/1 record from last 7 matches and that ruined our promotion changes. We eventually finished 7th only 5 point from champions. Calle Sjöberg was a crusial player to us with 9 goals and 12 assists. Brenner Tois scored 22 goals. Thomas Meunier 27A also had a brilliant season 7 goals and 10 assists. Calle Sjöberg. Sorry for those pics, I somehow cropped names out of them... Mijailovic 25A I was looking forward to see the actual youth intake after a great looking prewiev. And the Intake didn't dissapoint me. Constant improvements in youth department are finally paying some dividents. This is the first time we get more than one player who is capable of helping the first team. Philip Palmén 28A is looking great. I'm also hoping Landstöm 28B could quickly become our first choice GK. finances are looking good. We had our junior coaching increased once again. youth facilities were downgraded, that's a bit unpleasant. transfers My biggest concern in this save is loosing all my best youth prospects. Last year we lost Omar Olsson 24B, who was a key player. Now our two best layers Mijailovic 25A and Åkermark 26A are both unwilling to extend contract with us due to our squad is not good enough. They both moan squad should be improved. Luckily they both still have 12 months left. I would understand it if any team woud be interensted in signing them but no. Maybe they just want to play in a lower league with better player like Olsson 24B did. I Can't remember having such big problems in my youth run in FM22.

Lucky you.

A little update on key player I lost after last season. We were not good enough for him to extend. He was without a club for almost 3 months after leaving us and now he has signed to a team 1 DIVISION BELOW us. He must be very ambitious.

IFK Lidingö Season 4 / 2027 We had a great start for the season getting 17 points from the first 8 matches. We just cuoldn't keep that up and we finished 10th once again. Hygo Lemne, Calle Sjöberg and Teo Brenner Thoris all scored 10 goals. We lost our star player Omar Olsson after the season as he was too ambitious (to be unambitious). We tried to renew his contract for like 18 months but he was always unwilling to renew as we couldn't match his ambitious or something. Milorad Mijailovic 25A took huge steps in development during the season. We had some high potential talents in youth intake. We didn't get anyone to help us immediately. We are lacking fullbacks now as Omar Olsson has left. Ayberk Karagöz might get a lot of chances in the first team. We could do with someoen capable of playing as a goalkeeper. We still have our original goalkeeper and he ain't amazing to be honest. We finally solved our financial problems and were able to improve our junior coaching. Youth recruitment was also improved but that was after the season so it won't be shown here.
