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...
Think fener will be hard. Interested to see how you do against inter and athletico and if the squad can step up! Exciting times ahead.

Indeed. I would also have preferred to start with one of the big boys. Now I start with Ferencvaros and the pressure that goes along with it to get a win from one of the "easy" games.
Viborg and København seem to make it a head-2-head to season, more than the contention between multiple teams it was, last couple of seasons; maybe them being of Champions League-level has something to do with it?...

Yeah maybe... It does look more like a two-horse race now, but there was also a point last season, where one was written off and suddenly returned with a good win streak. Still early days...
Surprising home defeat for the leaders København, there...
Still think it's ridiculous to see Denmark represented with 6 teams and Romania with 5 in Europe, while Netherlands ought to have 6 Romania and Denmark 4 each. The Dutch league also applies a play-off for that 6th European ticket for a decade now and it still has not been added to the game.
I think it's one of the game improvements they need to implement in order to have a realistic experience in CM: to introduce a country ranking by which the number of clubs active in Europe either go up or down.
I agree. But before that they should really add more teams in the "Rest of World" pool, until their full leagues are there. Red Star Belgrade and Slovan Bratislava from the current Champions League - NOT in FC25. Maccabi Tel Aviv, Ludogorets and RFS from the current Europa League - NOT in FC25. Pafos, Olimpija Ljubljana, Vikingur, Borac Banja Luka, Celje, Omonia, TSC, Mlada Boleslav, Noah, The New Saints, Dinamo Minsk, Larne and Petrocub Hincesti from the current Conference League - NOT in FC25.
In order to have a country coefficient ranking system and a realistic representation of clubs in Europe, more nations need to be represented, so Denmark doesn't "have to" send 6 teams, far more than they do in real life.
It's bonkers that they send more than Netherlands though, I very much agree with that.
It seems scoring is going a little easier than last year, something changed there?
One of the newer players is on a roll? Player development? Different tactics?

Filip Bundgaard is arguably on a roll. He arrived at the start of last season on a two year loan, so he was also a big part of last season. Only difference is that he found goals hard to find, at least in the first 3rd of the season, as far as I recall. Now he's scoring for fun, almost, making a strong case for various awards at the end of the season.
Midfielder Thomas Jørgensen has also stepped up his game, and Serginho on the right wing continues his great form from last season. There he was almost a one-man army, but I suppose he's just won himself a few collaborators this season.
Spoiler alert... Funny you say that scoring is easier now... I failed to score in my next two games (one of them in the UCL)...
