Some years ago a Finnish girl that played in a game server I played in, told me there was this joke about Finnish people. It goes "what is the difference between an introvert Finnish and an extrovert Finnish?" "The introvert talks to you looking at his feet. The extrovert talks to you looking at your feet". So, ice because that's the cliche that will go for anyone from Scandinavian countries. Melting because she's shy. And a woman, because since my first two journeyman were with women as I was curious if I'd see anything relating with sexism, I came to establish as tradition that journeyman save is with a woman and club save is with a man.
Why another journeyman save in the blog instead of going back to managing a club as I said I would do, I think I did, in FM18's story? Because for one reason and another, I ended up barely playing at all and so the save only lasted two seasons. We can't say I played it or did anything, though that final save, taking Mosonmagyarovar to the top of the table when predicted to be dead last by far is the success that has felt more satisfying. Therefore it's back to the journeyman save. Also I've enjoyed the journeyman saves. This save though I thought it's more to feel like doing a club save because there is so much more to do at the start. A factor that helped made that story so scarce was trying to go back to updates over long expanses of time to try make them less routine and so more interesting, so I will do updates over shorter periods of time. Maybe not just monthly, but bimonthly at most.
I wanted an European from a country without league loaded. I know Finland has league, but I've not activated it. One of those leagues with ten matches per year where most of the time is doing nothing. Boring. I know among the activated are a few that have few teams, but whatever.
There's not really anything special thought for this save. I thought I might try what I did in FM14 about playing without looking at the attributes, but I read mentions of the concept being used by several people. I know Cleon for one has planned to do something like that. There is a chance at some point I get to an idea of doing something particular; but I guess it will be whatever happens from something in the save. Perhaps getting players with infamous PPMs. In a save I did in Youtube, I found out "likes playing out of trouble" is actually good and "Plays out of defence" is probably the dangerous one.
You will see that for a character that is meant to be rather shy, I've given her a high determination, but that's because in FM determination, level of discipline and working with youngsters have never changed and I imagine with experience she'd be picking some confidende to be more assertive, so I've chosen to get it to what I would want it to look at the end of her career, though probably I should have interchanged it with adaptability. I also used the recommended experience and badges.

She applied for the free places that looked within reason. I really wanted the Samorin FC job as they were predicted to finish close to top, but in the end, only Hamel Hampstead from formerly known as Vananarama South offered the job. Not quite bad since it is predicted to finish mid table.

Next update will be either the preseason or the initial ideas to plan for the future.
