Well done: a very respectable 2nd place for a small team like Viborg. It was a demonstration of how far one can get by just keeping it tight at the back for most of the time. You'll always have a shot or two at goal each game, so then it's just a matter of efficiency. Into the Champions League then!

Yes! Unfortunately the game still provides crazy over the top expectations. My board now expects me to reach the Champions League Quarter Final. An accomplishment which a Danish club has never been able to do, and it is now expected from Viborg in the club's first ever entry to the qualifiers? That's awful. I hope I set the settings right, when I started this, so I won't get fired, if I miss the qualifier and end up in the Europa League in stead.

Instead, if you drop back into a different tournament they adjust expectations. However, they are usually more challenging than the previous ones. Should you end up in Europea League, they'll be expecting semi finals I guess. If you can compensate with good domestic and financial results, I think you'll be safe anyway.

Sounds good. I was also just referring to all the settings you adjust before starting. Which are difficult to remember and understand the consequences of. I really don't recall hos "lenient" I set it too, but I'm pretty sure I set it up so I shouldn't be fired too easily. I suppose I'm just not that comfortable with ignoring the critical board objectives yet.
From one side I'm thinking: okay, it's only Viborg.
The other side is thinking: okay, it's only HJK as opponent. A team that is on par with Denmark's best shouldn't have any issue with the easiest of champions (in the game) together with the one from Ireland.Nevertheless, you'll go to the play-off round: it's either Champions League or Europa League. You could bump into serious opponents: the champions of either Croatia, Hungary, Czechia, Ukraine or Switzerland are all formidable teams.

Yes, it's not the most difficult draw. Thinking about you running into Rangers and Celtic, that's arguably a tougher route to the promised land.
First European goal for Nygaard: joy!
Alrighty, HJK's done, who is next?...

We stay in the Scandinavian category and play Bodø/Glimt in the next qualifier.
It's looking promising for VFF! And I see my Scottish plague has rubbed off onto Danish teams a bit as well...

Haha, I see why you say that. But no, that was actually my own creative solution to a problem I found. You see, Brøndby and FC Midtjylland were going head to head in that Europa League qualifier. I couldn't really have that in my story, now could I?
So Brøndby won 1-0 against FC Midtjylland, actually, and storywise I just translated that to Brøndby beating Rapid Bucurest in stead, as they were one of the teams to lose their qualifier in the game. Meanwhile Celtic won 1-0 in their qualifier, so storywise they could be the ones to beat FC Midtjylland, even though it was actually Brøndby in game. A bit frustrating to have to do such a workaround, but I think I made it work in the end.
I had plenty of encounters between Danish and Scottish teams last season. But so far none in this one. At least not in the actual game.
Slowly turning them into an indestructable machine: 6 games unbeaten nationally, 3 wins in Europe thusfar - Viborg FF's Golden Age!

Yeah, golden age sounds about right. It doesn't have too much competition though, only having just one cup title and a Danish super cup title to brag about...
