Viborg so high by now has become normality, but København so low?...

Like Danimal said, the top two teams are expected but the third challenger is already off the pace. Dropping any points in the league this season will feel like a big loss with how close last season went.

True, both. However, it's just 5 points and too early to conclude anything. But obviously it's a rocky start for the club with the biggest budget in Scandinavia.
They do have an ageing squad though! I mentioned it a while ago in a previous post how they had a lot of +33 year old players in the squad. If they don't manage to evolve and replace these players along the way, they will hit a full stop at some point. I don't know if that is what's happening to them right now, but it could be an explanation.

A bit like Ajax in real life. The quality of the current batch from Ajax Academy is either low or late. But the Ajax starting eleven are unusually old: Pasveer (41), Henderson (34), Berghuis (33), Weghorst (32), Klaassen (31), Rugani (30). And not all positions are adequately filled, not with a middle aged quality player, nor a hot upcoming prospect. Add to the mix that Rensch, Taylor and Brobbey are likely to depart and it'll be a big question mark what Ajax will look like for the 2025-26 season...

Fiete Arp was a go-to player if one was ever in need of the next big upcoming striker up until three or four FIFAs ago; ideal back-up striker at every level. But then he couldn't break into Bayern as a regular and has faded away since (though he plays Bundesliga with Kiel now). Good to see he hasn't been forgotten.

Yes, I remember him too fra the days when he was a teenager with a high potential. He's so far proved to be a pretty good signing. And after Manuel Mbom's move from Werder Bremen, another club from the northern Germany, I felt it wasn't a stretch to attract someone like Arp to the Danish league.

A good start in Europe, I think you are bound to advance at this rate. I like Vinicius. He is one of those players that has skill but has not fully put it together yet but is showing signs.
He can be a good player for you this season with all the games you will be playing.
