Following us cruising through the league potion of the contest, we once again have the delight of looking over the playoff rounds determining who we might like to get in the next round. Trouble is though, I’m starting to think that this game has pre-planned adversaries for me. For the third...

Good luck with this challenge, sounds like a long one.

So let’s get the simpler stuff done right off the bat. This league season has been just as fortuitous as the last, with Bodo/Glimt continuing this mind-boggling run of form and going 38 played, 38 won. More time and better players in this tactic has led to it becoming even more effective...

Whilst all that transfer business was occurring for Midtjylland, both teams still had matches to play in January with the final two Champions League ties and the Youth Trofe. Again, I’d usually split these two up, but January is only little. For the Danes, the Champions League situation could...

Now I’ll usually do each club having it’s own individual update, but with this January, there’s not much point to be honest. Absolutely nowt happened with Bodo/Glimt over this period transfer wise, with all our activity being re-buffing various approaches from bigger teams for our stars. Same...

For the first time in this save, I’m not going to change tactic going into a new season. I have gone too far down this strikerless road to turn back now. I mean, I could do some meddling and make something weird, but that would be silly. Also, y’know, we went perfect in the league last season...

With a policy of not buying any players over the age of 21, and prioritizing their development on the pitch, the new era for Midtjylland has begun. This shall come under the stewardship of Ole Kirk Christiansen, who shares a striking resemblance name and birthplace as the original founder of a...

OK, little bit of something different for this update. Whilst the progress of my Bodo/Glimt side has been brilliant, the league itself has been struggling a little. The reason why? Apart from a couple of instances, the recruitment by the AI managers has been atrocious. This league has been...

Having come so far in such a short space of time, I was finally able to achieve something I’ve not been able to do before. A summer with less than five new faces coming through the door. Whilst that might not sound like much, it’s a far cry from the revolving door recruitment policy we’ve had...

I believe this is what the kids call “Doing a madness”. With these players, with this system, this team from an Arctic town has become a behemoth. Not only do we go undefeated this season in the league, but we complete the Goldliga with a perfect record. Not a single point dropped. 38 games...

I knew this was all going far too well. January is always a dangerous time for us in this team. Not because of fixture congestion or anything like that. No, it’s because January gives the AI teams 31 days to mess around our players, flex their financial muscles and ruin our lovely Nordic...

This whole strikerless thing might have started as an act of hubris, but goshdangit we might actually be on to something here. After much tinkering in pre-season and a couple of games where we were very much bailed out by an inspired Dennis Seiman, we’ve come across two different systems. One...

Given our goal scoring record over the last couple of seasons, we definitely don’t need another attacking player do we? Given how many central midfielders we have, I definitely don’t need any more do I? With that in mind, welcome the two first new signings for the season, Lazar Samardzic and...

I know we all like to say that Football Manager is a cruel mistress, but it’s a really weird sensation when you get to see it also do that to the AI. I genuinely feel sorry for Copenhagen. They have had an incredible season, almost going undefeated. With the only team to better them being us...

That is one of the most ridiculous sets of odds I've ever seen!
