Questions being asked as to where the sudden influx of money has come from within The Danish League with various sides splashing the cash 😜
Not a terrible draw for Europa League, but definitely have some work to do. I'd say 3 potentially winnable games. Even with a poor history against Rapid Wine I'd still see that as winnable as well as a possible winnable start against Celtic. The home games will be vital

Haha, yeah maybe my decision to move quite a few Danish internationals back to the league has backfired, increasing the amount of transfers in the league. Hmm, I have otherwise enjoyed the limited transfer moves in the league in previous saves, compared to the extravagant and over-the-top moves made in other leagues with more money. So perhaps I practically ruined the save, before I even began..? Or perhaps that is not the answer. I haven't seen any of them move away again so far, so perhaps it's not it.
I agree with your verdict on Europe. I would probably put Apoel and Rapid in the "must win" category, whilst Celtic and PAOK are the next in line. The latter mostly due to their previous 5-0 win against Brøndby and the good performances of Greek sides of late. Fiorentina must be tipped as the hardest opponent after three Conference League finals in a row. Ajax, Stuttgart and Stade de Reims comes after, in one order or another. (Haven't taken home/away games into consideration here)
Just keep on going, København, Nordsjælland and Midtjylland all will drop points, at least against one another. So, this is still a step up for Brøndby as you're much closer to the top than a year before. And remember, your team's end spurt was the best part of the season.

That's true. I am also feeling the fatigue from the midweek games, even though I am mostly still getting the results I want. But when I'm out of Europe sometime in the spring, I might also get a small boost to my performances in the league.
UEFA League Phase Tables halfway through (UCL + UEL 4 games played, ECL 3 games played). Danish clubs in bold:
Really, Netherlands still only has 5 teams going into Europe; as many as Denmark??
I suppose Feyenoord lost in the Champions League qualifying round, which dropped them back to Europa League? But man, there ought to be a sixth: where's Twente, Utrecht or AZ Alkmaar?
I really hope they include the coefficient-system by UEFA, so that it has an effect on how many teams per country go into Europe further down the career.

That's strange and quite the contrary to the Danish teams that are too many. Having finished in 3rd and won the Playoff final to enter the Europa League qualifiers, I was surprised to see both number 4, 5 and 6 in last season's table also qualify for a European competition. Something isn't right, when the 3rd place need to win a Playoff match to get there, whilst 4th, 5th and 6th just gets in automatically.
So what I'm saying is: Netherlands are free to get one of Denmark's places in game. We have at least one too many 😉
You're correct about Feyenoord though. They lost to Olympiacos.
I agree with the coefficient rating by the way. Would be so great to see the game keep track of the results and calculate the coefficient points along the way - plus adjust how many teams would qualify from each country based on those points. We would probably need more teams in the game though, if this was to be accurate. They probably need to bring a few extra teams from some nations to "fill" the competitions will all the actual UCL/UEL/ECL teams that are in the real life competitions, but are absent from the game.
Very exciting: a four way fight for the title, this is.

Yes, absolutely. I love how even this has turned out to be so far.
3-1, 4-0 - you've turned the team into highest gear, yet again towards the end of the (regular) season! I see København having dropped the ball there and you've beaten FCN, so it's advantage for Midtjylland and yourself I suppose?
