Well done on winning the league. Looks like quite a tough league with a lot of teams being close to equal in terms of ability. (A bit surprised to see Malmo FF down in 9th)
Looking forward to seeing what changes you make for next season. Keep up the good work.
Yeah that is the bad part about the Swedish teams. instead of having one or two super good teams who can reach the Groups in the CL our maybe win the EL, We have seven or eight which are all equally good which is both good and bad, But i have changed a bit as you will see in the update after the "The end of season update" Hope more than just you are enjoying it
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- End of season special 2013!
The end of the season is finally here and i will run through the stats and show my TOTS and the Fans TOTS and their best player and mine best player.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Of The Season
Lets start of with mine shall we?
My TOTS is a 4-2-2-2 formation.
Goalkeeper:John Alvbage -The first choice keeper and has been magical and was the best goalie in the league.
Defender Right: Adam Johansson -Has been wonderful but sadly he is over 30 so i will have to look to sign a new right back within the next seasons.
Center Back Right: Mikael Dyrestam -Took over for Adam Johansson at right back at the end of the season and did okey but it is really in the Center Back position he blooms and he was one of the best CB this year. Center Back Left: Mattias Bjarsmyr -A silent hero, Dont know how many times he saved me in the defense.
Defender Left: Erdin Demir
-Joined from Brann and was amazing at the beginning of the season, Dropped in the end so we are hoping for him to get back to his form from the beginning of the last season.
Central Defensive Midfielder: Jakob Johansson
-An absolute beast and only 23 years old! will be one of the best players in my team.
Central Midfielder: Nordin Gerzic
-Same as Erdin, had an amazing beginning but sadly dropped in the rankings and got behind Haglund but in my TOTS he is a definitive player.
Attacking Midfielder Left: Robin Soder
-Different to Nordin and Erdin, He got better at the end of the season and i hope he keeps it up.
Attacking Midfielder Right: Sam Larsson
-Despite playing the most on the left side in my TOTS he gets in on the right side just to be able to fit everyone in. Was Amazing and created chance after chance but sadly his shot is dreadful.
Striker Left: Gustav Engvall
-Despite only being 17 years old, he have been one of the better players and if he haven't played for the National team by the age of 25 i will kill the national manager in the newspapers.
Striker Right: Victor Skold
-Only playing 14 games and getting 4 goals and 4 assists he was a much bigger influence than any other striker in my team and he is also the last player in my TOTS.
My Best Player:with 27 games, 6 Goals and 6 Assists Nordin Gerzic got my TOTS!
The Fans TOTS
Fans Best player
They liked the signing so much they voted him as the best player of the season.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Second player to join was 15-year old wonder talent Jordan Larsson, Son of the Legend Henrik Larsson. He deserves more playing time but haven't impressed me that much.
Only got two games in the end of the season and will probably go on loan for the next season.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The third and one of my favorite signings so far is Mikael Dyrestam who actually left us last year but i resigned him and he has been an very important player for us since he joined.
He kept his place in the team for the remainder of the season and was one of our best places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The fourth player to join us is Victor Skold who joined from Atvidaberg and he has also been very good, I wished he scored more goals though
Should be scoring more but we can only wait and see what he delivers this year.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next player and someone who was my biggest deal so far was Alex Nimley from Manchester City
he haven't played any games because he joined between the seasons.
The first out of two players who joined from Hammarby IF was Erik Israelsson
He has as Alex not played yet.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we made a whopping 1.6 million signing of Ivo Pekalski from Hacken, And is seen as one of the league best players.
looking forward to play him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- And the second from Hammarby and last signing is Johannes Hopf who is widely seen as Sweden's future in the Goalkeeper, But he will only be the second keeper behind John who is the best in the league.
That was all players who joined the club. Now to those we sold.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- OUT
all the marked players are sold and we made a total of 3.71 million and bought players for a value of 3.5 million so 200 thousand plus

He joined from Hammarby and have played in the cups and was dominating, He is actually better than i thought. Only let one goal in during our triumph in the Swedish Cup and that was in the last group match.
great work winning the league.
Didn't thought you will win it, cos the teams are so close and your form has been moving up and down. But great ending form...
Would like to see you futher into Europe next season.

Yeah, This year we will even qualify for Champions League which would be great if we could get the money from CL. For any Swedish club, CL offers loads of money plus all the youngsters want to join the club in the CL

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Player Of The Month Alex Nimely
11 Games, 6 Goals, 3 Assists, 2 MOTM

Despite being one man down we managed to score three goals and the team deserves a lot of cred.

Despite our amazing ending, The gap was to big to catch up to and we lost with two points but next years we will retake it!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Group Table
We missed the Champions League playoffs with two points. TWO POINTS! we were agonizingly close so sadly there wont be any CL for us next year but there is still Europa League this year and the qualification next year.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Player Of The Month Alex Nimely
8 Games, 3 Goals, 0 Assists, 0 MOTM
Dont know why i picked him. He just impressed me this month and has deserved it.
The end of the season is finally here and i will run through the stats and show my TOTS and the Fans TOTS and their best player and mine best player.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Team Of The Season
My TOTS is a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Goalkeeper: John Alvbage
Despite signing a younger equally good goalie he has kept his place in the team.
Defender Right: Mikael Dyrestam He is really a Center back but we have two other good players in there.
Center Back Right: Mattias Bjarsmyr Easily one of my most played players and also the best CB in the team.
Center Back Left: Tom Thorpe The ex-United player has really been good so far and i cant wait to see more of him next season.
Defender Left: Erdin Demir Despite being so aggressive, I still think he is the best LB in the league.
Central Midfielder : Erik Israelsson
he joined earlier this year and now he is the team captain and he is really enjoying his time in the club.
Central Midfielder: Nordin Gerzic
He is in the team and i still like him as much as i did last season.
Central Attacking Midfielder: Robin Soder
The Man, The Myth, The Legend. 23 Years old and has now scored over 50 league goals for the club.
Attacking Midfielder Right: Gustav Engvall
He has kept his good form up and he will be a important player next year as well.
Attacking Midfielder Left: Sam Larsson
He and Gustav have dominated the outside and showed the league that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Striker: Alex Nimely
What can i say? joined and dominated from the start, Sadly i think he wont stay for long.
My Best Player:With 36 Games, 23 Goals and 5 Assists and 7 MOTM. Its Robin Soder!
The Fans TOTS
Fans Best player
Nordin has been really good for two season and really deserved this.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The second player to join who is an amazing 18 year old who can become a good player and maybe even an international star for his Nigeria is Moses Daddy-Ajala Simon.
Moses is a small and nible right winger who will look to become a Swedish superstar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first out of two players to join from Manchester United, Tom Thorpe is one **** of a player and even though he is only seen as our third best Center back, He plays like he is a beast player and we have two of Allsvenskan best young Center backs.
his rating is lying a bit but i have really enjoyed him.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- The next one is a huge signing and it is Sabri Sarioglu from the huge Turkish team Galatasaray
even though he is a good player, i kinda regret this signing as i already have two good RB so i will look to sell him on as soon as possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the last player who joins from Manchester United is Davide Petrucci, an Italian Center mid who can become a big player if our current stars gets sold or leaves.
despite his old age for being an unplayed player i see a lot of potential in him and will look forward to use him.
And then we signed another winger and that is Tobias Sana who left IFK Gothenburg for Ajax a couple seasons back but his career halted and now he is back where he started.
He has made two apps for Sweden but that was three years ago and hopefully he can get his place in the NT back.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then we made ANOTHER winger signing, (We have signed alot of them) and this time its Hammarby IF super talent Mohammed Elyounoussi, They wanted to keep him but couldn't because of their relegation which meant i could get him cheap.
He was really good in Hammarby and hopefully he can play well for us too.
