Raware Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 With obviously a lot of spare time for some of us now, this means that we can get some more FM hours in and for me, I can start a save in a region that I’ve always loved in football – Scandinavia, or more precisely, the Nordic region…the Nordic region being the Scandinavian countries Denmark, Norway and Sweden as well as Finland and Iceland. So, with that I’ve loaded up the Nordic leagues available in FM and have used Espen and trondaage’s Norway lower league database to start a game in the Norwegian Fourth Division. Game : Football Manager 2020 (PC) Database size : Large Leagues loaded : Denmark (Second Division and above) Finland (First Division and above) Iceland (First Division and above) Norway (Fourth Division and above) Sweden (Second Division and above) Previous experience : Sunday morning footballer With those leagues loaded, I’ve decided to start in Norway with Lillehammer FK who currently play in the Fourth Division Group 7. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if many of you will remember but when this forum first started, I posted my Hong Kong save in here with a similar layout. It's always something I've thought about doing again but never got round to it. Now we've got some extra spare time, thought I'd dig out the old style again Glad you're enjoying it 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also just picked up his first full Icelandic cap. He could be special! I'm surprised they went down too. They still have a strong squad so it's no surprise that they're favourites to bounce straight back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Traustason, I didn't think he was going to sign an extension at one point but thankfully he finally has. The lad is unbelievable! One of my best finds on FM for sure!
