We Start Before We Finnish | FC TPS | FM20

[sizzlingpopcorn]

The FM20 Beta released this week. Let's get stuck in with a new save! 

After the Twitter poll suggested 87% that we should start in Europe, I asked my wife to name a European country. So, we're off to Finland and joining FC TPS Turku in the Finnish First Division. FC TPS has recently been relegated from the Premier League and are working their way back up to promotion. How will we do as a Sunday League Footballer with no certifications?
