February
A convincing start to the upper league cup.
Only 2 matches played but goals galore so far.

February Fixtures

Njardvik 0-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Upper League Cup Group Stage)
View attachment 436717
A dominant start with a convincing 4-0 win over a first division side.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 7-0 Grotta (Upper League Cup Group Stage)
View attachment 436716
After we went ahead via an own goal the outlook was very bleak for my opponents. We proceeded to batter them in all areas of the pitch and recorded a 7-0 win.

It's been a perfect start for us so far, lets hope it continues.

What To Expect In The Next Update

Icelandic Upper League Group C Table

View attachment 436668
We've had less trouble with this group than I expected as we faced a couple of fairly good sides in Stjarnan & Breidablik. We need 1 point in our last game to confirm we are winners of the group.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 436667
Our best player this month was Gary Martin who has been an assassin in-front of goal.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Can we win the Upper League Cup?
Is there any more additions to the squad?
 
View attachment 436564

April
A very poor & unfortunate month.
A ridiculous amount of injuries in a short space of time.

April Fixtures

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Ithrottabandalag Akraness (Upper League Cup Group Stage)
View attachment 436563
We win our last game in the group stages 4-0 to confirm we we have scored 4 goals in every group game so far.

View attachment 436562
We won the group with ease & scored 32 goals in just 7 games.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-3 Haukar (Upper League Cup Quarter Finals)
View attachment 436561
We crash out to Haukar. To only have 4 shots on target out of the 21 taken is unacceptable. To make things worse captain Finnur Margeirsson will be out for up to 4 months with a torn groin muscle. Ouch!!.


Injury List

View attachment 436559
In the space of just under 2 weeks I lose 8 players. 7 of the injuries occurred in training. With 5 of the injuries being to defenders or defensive midfielders I will need to enter the transfer market to find at least 1 replacement.

New Signing

View attachment 436556
We bring in Swedish defensive midfielder 'Patrik Fors' in on a free transfer.

Transfer Center

View attachment 436551
I decided not to bring anyone else in for now. If any more injuries occur that will probably change.

What To Expect In The Next Update
How will our injury plagued squad fare as the league campaign starts?
Will we be able to win the Icelandic champions cup with a depleted squad?
 
View attachment 436338

May
Unrest in the squad as 3 key players want to leave for bigger clubs :(.
We win every game this month despite not being at our best.

May Fixtures

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-0 Fram (Icelandic Champions Cup)*****FINALS*****
View attachment 436336
We beat Fram to claim our first piece of silverware this season. Both goals coming from Atli Sigurjonsson.

Haukar 1-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436335
We start the premier league campaign by getting revenge over Haukar who kicked us out of the upper league cup. Vigfus Einarsson played very well & got himself a hat-trick.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-0 Keflavik (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436334
We were very poor in this game & only got the 3 points via an own goal. We did have most of the possession & more shots but were simply put disappointing.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-0 Stjarnan (Icelandic Premier League)

A better performance against a decent side. Atli Sigurjonsson scoring the only goal of the match.

Not the best of performances, but we done enough to take the 3 points.

Vikingur O. 0-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436331
A good performance and a 2-0 win but it could have been even more if we were more clinical.

Icelandic Premier League Table

View attachment 436328
We have won our first 5 league fixtures & although we haven't performed as well as we can, we still are getting the job done.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 436327
Vigfus Einarsson was our best player this month & he scored 5 goals in 5 games.

New Chairman
We have a new chairman (President) at the club. Elections took place this month, but this year our old chairman didn't want to stay at the club, and now we have someone new. There's no plans for any new investment, so nothing out of the ordinary will be taking place. Don't expect to see any 'Lionel Messi' like players in the near future lol.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Will our performances become more convincing as we get most of our players back from injury?

We remain unbeaten in the league.
Our injury list is looking much more normal now.

June Fixtures

Vikingur O. 1-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur [Extra Time] (Upper League Cup 3rd Round )
View attachment 436301
On another day we could have been out of the Icelandic cup before it really got started. We had alot of possession but kept taking shots from about 30 yards out which were never going to trouble the keeper. 'Indridi Thorlaksson' got us through to the next round in literally the last seconds of extra time.

Vikingur R. 0-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436300
A decent performance sees us win 2-0 in a game where our opponents never looked like threatening us.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-0 Valur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436299
Now that's the kind of performance I like to see. We destroyed our rivals and ran out 4-0 winners.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-1 Breidablik (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436298
A disappointing draw at home to Breidablik sees us drop 2 points. Our opponents equalizer came from 1 of my ex-players 'Emil Atlason'.

Fimleikafelag Hafnarjaroar 1-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436297
Games against 'FH' are never easy so I'm satisfied to get a 2-1 win after going behind. 'Bjorn Jonsson' who's been performing really well this season scored both of our goals.

Icelandic Premier League Table

View attachment 436296
Only 9 games in and it looks like it's between us & Valur again.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 436295
Central defender 'Lars Martinez Olsson' has been our best player this month with his solid defensive displays.

What To Expect In The Next Update
How will we fare in what looks to be a very busy July.
 
View attachment 436216

July
A brilliant month.
We give a few teams a hammering.
Doing well so far in Europe as well.

July Fixtures

Ithrottabandalag Akraness 0-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)

A brilliant performance as we smash struggling Fram.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-0 Haukar (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 436213
Another very good performance as we brush aside a fairly good 'Haukar' side. Our keeper managed to save a penalty as well :).

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 6-0 TNS (Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round / First Leg)
View attachment 436212
We smash our Welsh opponents and pretty much put the tie to bed before the second leg. It could have been an even higher scoreline had we not missed a penalty.

Haukar 0-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Cup 4th Round)
View attachment 436210
A strong performance sees us get through to the quarter finals of the Icelandic Cup as we beat 'Haukar' for the 2nd time this month. Gary Martin scoring both of the goals.

TNS 0-2 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round / Second Leg)
We win 8-0 on aggregate.
View attachment 436209
We done everything in the first leg, but still performed fairly well & won 2-0. Therefore we win 8-0 on aggregate. It again could have been higher but 'Indridi Thorlaksson' again missed a penalty.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 4-2 Maccabi Tel Aviv (Champions League 3rd Qualifying Round / First Leg)
View attachment 436205
We played fairly well against a tough opposition and we have a good chance of progressing if we perform well in the 2nd leg. The 2 away goals our opponents hold mean the 2nd leg won't be easy. 'Gary Martin' again got 2 goals for us.

Fjolnir 1-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Cup Quarter Finals)
View attachment 436201
We go through to the semi-finals of the Icelandic Cup with a convincing win. 'Bjorn Jonsson' again scores 2 goals. I don't know know where his form has come but i'm very much liking it.

Icelandic Premier League Table

View attachment 436198
We are 6 points clear at the top, but Valur can reduce that to just 3 points if they win their game in hand. Keflavik are doing really well this season & find themselves in 3rd.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 436197
Young right back 'Thor Hauksson' has been our best player this month, constantly putting in brilliant defensive performance's and bursting runs down the right wing. Hauksson is a player from my academy who I never though would be any good but & I was ready to release him last year, but my coaching staff thought highly of him so I decided to keep him. I am so glad I kept him.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Will we start to run away with the league like last year?
Will we win the Icelandic Cup?
Youth Intake is next month, so will we get any potential superstars?

What A Performance!! We turn on a brilliant performance to embarrass our opponents in the finals. Our performance fully deserved the 5-0 victory.

FC Kobenhavn 0-1 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Playoff Round / First Leg)
View attachment 435898
We were handed a tough tie against the Danish champions & it was a very even game. We take away a very valuable 1-0 win going into the 2nd leg.

Fjolnir 1-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435897
A good win, especially as our previous game was just 2 days ago & we were looking fairly tired. The game was fairly even but our better finishing sealed the victory.

Breidablik 0-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435886
We play out a fairly dull game against Breidablik who we don't seem to do very well against. Definitely 2 points dropped.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 2-2 FC Kobenhavn (Champions League Playoff Round / Second Leg)
We win 3-2 on aggregate.
View attachment 435882
We've Done In!! We have made our way into the group stages of the CHAMPIONS LEAGUE!!!! It was a very nervy game but we held on with a 2-2 draw to go through with a 3-2 aggregate win.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 435868
Again Lars Martinez Olsson was just amazing. In the league he's average rating is 8.01 which tells you how consistent he's been.

Champions League group Draw

Chelsea F.C........................Inter Milan................Olympique De Marsielle.......Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur

This is the group of death. Well there's a group that could have been worse containing PSG & Barcelona but that't not the point. I can see us taking a few batterings. If we manage to score a goal in this group it will be an achievement.

Prize Money

View attachment 435861
A nice ?7.26mil in the bank does wonders to our finances.

Youth Intake

View attachment 435860 View attachment 435859 View attachment 435858
A good youth intake with 'Petur Orn Steindorsson' being the best player to come through. He definitely will become a first team player.

What To Expect In The Next Update
Will we achieve an unbeaten season this year?

September
We complete an unbeaten season 8-|.
We win the league by a large margin again.
We are embarrassed by Chelsea in the Champions league.

September Fixtures

Keflavik 0-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435567
A good away win against overachieving Keflavik. Their keeper played very well, especially in the first half, but once we scored it was just going to end one way.

Stjarnan 1-3 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435566
We went behind early thanks to an unfortunate own goal, but we came back and won 3-1. A deserved win for us. We could win the league at Valur in our next league match.

Chelsea 8-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Group E)
View attachment 435565
I knew we would lose & I knew it wouldn't be pretty, but to lose 8-0 to anyone is just embarrassing. Even if it is to a world class team like Chelsea. That's a record loss for us as a club & me personally in FM.

Valur 1-1 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435558
Valur held us to a draw, but we still have confirmed the league is ours. Doing it at Valur makes it even sweeter :).

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 3-0 Ithrottabandalag Akraness (Icelandic Premier League)

We comfortably beat our local rivals to pretty much confine them to relegation.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 0-0 Fimleikafelag Hafnarjaroar (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435555
A match we should have won, but didn't. It doesn't matter too much though as the league's been confirmed ours for a while now.

Fram 1-4 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Premier League)
View attachment 435553
We knew that if we beat local rivals 'Fram' we would relegate them and save 'Vikingur R' so there was extra incentive for us to go out there and dominate, and dominate is what we did. After we went 4-1 ahead Fram knew it was over for them, so they decided to injure as many of my players as they possibly could. We ended up with 4 injuries & playing the last few minutes with 10 men.

Icelandic Premier League Table

View attachment 435551
We complete an amazing unbeaten league season, my first Ever in FM. We ended up 10 points clear of 2nd placed Valur. It's been another very good campaign as we win the treble.

Champions League Journey
We were humiliated 8-0 by Chelsea in our first Champions League group game (Shown in September Update)
Here's how our other 5 group games went.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 0-0 Olympique De Marsielle (Champions League Group E)
View attachment 434658
Despite being dominated by our much stronger opponents we defended very well and held out for a 0-0 draw. A very good result.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 1-3 Inter Milan (Champions League Group E)
View attachment 434657
Despite losing 3-1, I was happy with the way we played & we gave our world class opponents a good game. Indridi Thorlaksson gives us our first ever 'Champions League Group Stage' goal.

Inter Milan 1-1 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Group E)
View attachment 434656
What an amazing result!!! To draw at Milan was amazing & unexpected. Gary Martin got us off to the perfect start scoring in the 1st minute. Inter Milan equalized shortly after but we were just brilliant and our performance deserved a point.

Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur 0-3 Chelsea (Champions League Group E)
View attachment 434655
We perform alot better this time around against Chelsea, and I don't feel the scoreline shows a true reflection of how the game went. We actually managed more shots than Chelsea & they only had 1 more shot on target than we did.

Olympique De Marsielle 2-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Champions League Group E)
View attachment 434653
We battled hard, but Marsielle were just too strong at home and got a 2-0 win. I can't fault my players effort.

Champions League Group E Table

View attachment 434652
We done very well considering what a tough group we were in & I was delighted we managed to get 2 draws out of our fixtures. Besides the awful thrashing Chelsea gave us, I was very happy with how we performed in this group.

What To Expect In The Next UpdateA preview of the upcoming season.
 
Hello, I just read your whole story and I am very impressed.
Congrats on absolutely dominating league and Champions League Group Stage!
One thing is bothering me, why only 4300 attendance on Chelsea? I've seen like 9k or more on your previous screens. Cheers mate and keep writing :)

Thanks :) Glad you like my story.

It's because some of our European games were moved to the Icelandic National stadium (Laugardalsvollur) which holds just over 15,000 while our stadium (KR-Vollur) only holds just over 5,000. Something to do with our stadium not meeting regulations. I'm surprised the Chelsea games wasn't a sellout though :S.

Bjorn Jonsson's Testimonial

Bjorn Jonsson has been quality, and even though he hasn't always been a regular starter we gave him a deserved testimonial to show how much we appreciate his hard work at the club.

Atli Sigurjonsson's Testimonial

View attachment 434326 View attachment 434325
Atli is a club legend, no doubt about it. He has been amazing here, consistently been one of my best players & been key to the success we have had. He deserves a few more testimonials for everything he's done at the club, but unfortunately we can only give him one.

Players In

View attachment 434322
Our first signing is keeper 'Bjorgvin Thorsson' from keflavik who cost ?18k. He will be our backup keeper, but I will give him a good amount of game time. We needed another keeper after by backup keeper left to join Stjarnan.

View attachment 434321
Our 2nd signing is midfielder 'Daniel Helgesson' who joins us from Sewdish first division side 'Gelfe' for ?24k. He's a similar player to Atli Sigurjonsson and will hopefully emulate our legendary midfielder.

View attachment 434319
Our 3rd signing is young keeper Jesper Wiburg who joins us on a free transfer. I plan to send him out on loan for a few seasons to help his development.

View attachment 434318
Our final Signing is central defender 'Eidur Sigurbjornsson' who joins us on a free. Long serving defender 'Aron Josepsson' left to join 'Fjolnir' and I needed a replacement. Eidur is definitely a better defender & even at the age of 31 still has alot to offer us.

Transfer Center

View attachment 434317
A fair amount of outgoings. We'll start with the big ones. 'Trausti Magnusson' leaves for Valerenga & 'Steingrimur Egilsson' leaves for Brann. Both players left for club record fees of ?800k. I didn't want to lose either player as they both came from my academy & were key players, but they both wanted to leave and I'm very happy with the amount we were able to sell them for.
We let a few long serving players leave (Einar Einarsson, Kristinn Hauksson, Haukar Hauksson & Brynjar Gudmundsson) after their contracts ran out as they were on the wrong side of 30 and no longer good enough. 'Aron Josepsson' also the wrong side of 30 left to join Fjolnir, while backup keeper 'Hlynur Hlodversson' went to Stjarnan.
Our squad is looking alot thinner than last season but I have a few youngsters in the reserves who I feel can make the step up this season if needed.

What To Expect In The next Update
The start of the upper league cup.
How will our new signings do?

Player Of The Month

Pretty obvious who was going to be here. Vigfus Einarsson has been on fire this month scoring 7 goals in only 5 league games.

We were the overachievers in the recent champions league campaign, after getting to the group stages and recording a couple of impressive results which i'm very pleased with. I hope to get into the group stages of the champions league on a regular basis though and really progress.

Knattspyrnufelag Akureyrar 1-0 Knattspyrnufelag Reykjavikur (Icelandic Cup 3rd Round)
View attachment 432847
Awful!!! Awful!!! Awful!!! We get taken out of the Icelandic Cup straight away by a First Division side. I don't care that I played a weakened squad, the players I put out should have comfortably won this game yet we record an embarrassing defeat. This defeat has raised questions about our strength in depth.

What a response. We put the disappointments of our previous match well behind us with the destruction of 'Vikingur O'.

View attachment 432844

Icelandic Premier League

View attachment 432842
We are 5 points clear at the top after 9 games played. I don't see anyone putting in much of a title challenge this year, as 'keflavik' won't keep with us & 'Valur' are already 10 points behind us.

Player Of The Month

View attachment 432840
Vigfus Einarsson is again our player of the month. He's been on a wonderful goal scoring run.

Right Back Injury Crisis
We have something of an injury crisis at right-back as 'Finnur Margeirsson' has suffered a slipped disc & will be missing for up to 4 months, leaving me only 19 year old 'Thor Hauksson' at right-back & he's not even a natural right-back. If he get's injured we are well and truly f***ed. When the transfer window opens I will be buying a new right-back. We may have to play a couple of games with a central defender at right-back an I can't imagine 'Thor Hauksson' will be fit enough to play every game until I bring someone else in.

What To Expect In The Next Update
How do we cope with our right-back issue?
