That was an awful defeat vs Fenerbahce, perfectly opposite the surprising real life result of 6-1 to FC Nordsjælland. Despite this being the fictional of the two, this must arguably have been the more realistic 6-1 winner. And it's quite some big names scoring there; Fred, Dzeko and Ünder. At least by Danish superliga standards.
A defeat to Vejle and draw vs Lyngby is disappointing. Good to see the young talent coming up and closing a gap in the side, even scoring on his debut. Wow. Great stat with FCN holding 4 of the 7 youngest goalscorers in the league. I was not aware of that, but I can't call it a surprise.
@JustinCase0110 CORRECTION: Sorry, I did not realize I had a filter on when I was looking at the youngest goalscorers, I was only going back the past four seasons when I saw they had 4 of the top 7. My mistake. I went to double check this morning to give you more information and then I realized I had a filter on!
Going as far back as transfermarket will allow, FCN only has 1 (now 2 with my youth player) in the top five. Someone I am sure you know well, Oscar Schwartau is number two, he was 16 yrs and 2 months when he scored in 2022 against OB.
1. Roony Bardghji ⭐ - 16 years, 13 days in 2021
2. Oscar Schwartau (Brondby IF) - 16 years, 2 months in 2022
3. Jeppe Kjaer (AC Horsens) - 16 years, 4 months in 2020
4. Kennet Zohore ⭐ - 16 years, 8 months in 2010
5. Andreas Schjelderup (FCN) - 16 years, 9 months in 2021
My research team let me down with that last update.. 🤓
Best be firing the research team I guess 😉
Very unfortunate result in Europe, followed up with 2 games of dropped points, but picked selves back up again against Cork in Europe.
Hopefully the inclusion of some youth will help with depth and injury problems with one already making a name for themselves. I'm sure the scouts are doing better than the research team looking ahead at future transfer window and whim can be brought in on a budget.
- @thurlow885 Research team has been fired lol. We can't afford mistakes like that with this club.
The youth has more players coming. Three more players will be called up soon to help with the injuries and fatigue. Going along with the Africa and Ghana trend that FCN do in real life.

Don't worry about it. Obviously the risk of misinformation grows, when you try a league that you are unfamiliar with. But that's also part of the fun, I think. And a big learning opportunity.
Yes, I know Schwartau. A promising player, but he plays as a number 10, and after a bright start in the club, he's not exactly taken the next step yet. He gets his substitute appearances from time to time, but the final breakthrough is yet to come.
Jeppe Kjær is interesting. I believe he went to Ajax, but has since moved to Bodø/Glimt in Norway. The youngest ever to debut in the Superliga. He had his first game on his 16th birthday - in a league where you need to be 16 years old to be allowed to play. Speaking of records that will never be broken (unless the rules are changed).
