Norgy

We are so going to be smacked by Liverpool. But the win against Slavia was pretty convincing. Aga even missed a penalty.

Now half of Europe wants my players.  :cry:

Norgy

Would you believe it, just 0-3 at Anfield Road. Against FK Lyn, that is. Outplayed and out-classed in every department.
It looked promising when we got the first goal after 2 minutes, but of course, VAR decided it was an offside.

Half the team is leaving, as they are looking for greener pastures than the Norwegian first tier.

The problem with playing in Europe for Norwegian teams isn't the match fatigue, rather that the Norwegian season is spring to late autumn. So the board decided to send the team to a training camp in Turkey. Sorry, Erdogan, I am not going to use that new name you came up with. No habla Turkish.

We smashed one team, but all players need some minutes, so in the next game we go down 3-4 with a last minute winner.

Some journalists are now questioning my tactical inflexibility. Unfortunately, there is no option to answer "Have YOU won the double two seasons in a row? No?"

Haven't really picked up my Cordoba save since switching PCs yet. -_-

Preview of the changes to tactics in FM26:


Major change: different formations when in possession and out of possession.



Player roles/abilities also split between the two.

A good change, IMO, but I expect a lot of jank and gamebreaking combos. :D
