Boldklubben Frem- Fremtastic

Just had a quick look at our finances after that transfer window. It's crazy how quick we lose money at this club. 7 months ago we had nearly £2 million in the bank meaning we have lost £3.5 million in the last seven months. It's not exactly like we spend huge wages, our highest wage is £3k and we have spent about £700k while bringing in over £1 million through player sales.



Still f*cking gutted that we didn't manage to bring Olesen back to the club. Not a surprise though looking at our transfer and wage budget.



Hopefully now we can kick on and ensure we finish in the Championship Group. #PrayForFrem

The European transfer window is still yet to shut. French side Lille came in with an offer for our youth player Michael Peterson. I decided to reject the deal as I felt we could of got a bit more for him.



After some serious consideration I have decided to let Pederson leave the club if we can get a good amount of money for him. We are in severe financial difficulties at the moment and Peterson is earning £2k a week despite being nowhere near the first team picture at this moment in time. After looking at his stats, he is actually on the decline. If this was Olesen, I would be having second thoughts but I can't really see this guy reaching the same level as I hope Olesen can reach.



After rejecting the bid from Lille, Deportivo were the next side to come in with an offer. The initially offered £60k upfront however I managed to negotiate a deal worth £90k upfront and then £25k a year for the next four years. If Peterson does move on from Deportivo we will get 10% of any deal. We may of been able to get more money as it's not particularly great however we have got £2k off our wage bill which is brilliant. Hopefully next season if Olesen is still available for loan, we will be able to bring him back here using these funds.



Maybe this is a little bit bitter of me but because he doesn't leave for another 6 months and the deal is all signed, I have set him on retraining as a sweeper, improving his jumping reach and developing a flat bullet throw. F*ck up his career a little bit before he leaves.

Fola 1-0 Deportivo.

Our new signing has been impressing for Ivory Coast in the African Cup Of Nations.



Also, annoyingly our starting striker and captain Johannes Jorgensen has been ruled out for 3 months after getting injured in a friendly. We sold Illum meaning Maazou is only fit striker at the moment,it's definitely time for him to earn his £3k a week.

What does he have on his head?

At only 5'4" I assume this little manlet is trying to make himself look taller! Plus, it acts as a brush for when he runs under the tables he can give them a dust.

Despite being on somewhat terrible form, we have qualified for the Championship Group. What happens in this next section is that we play each team twice, meaning we play another ten matches until the season ends. The top two gain entry to the Champions League and obviously that would be amazing. The sides that come 3rd and 4th get Europa League which would also be great. All in all, I just want to come above Copenhagen. F*ck Copenhagen.



Our form against the top sides has been really poor this season so I am not expecting too much in this last stage but overall, I'm just happy to be here. At the start of the season we were once again told by the media that we were going to get relegated so to have a chance of European Football is a remarkable feat for the club.



Look at poor old Silkeborg down in 10th position. It is such a shame that Torben Olesen will spend the rest of the season playing for that sh*te. With Jorgensen out injured for 3-4 months, Maazou has been our starting striker so Olesen would of walked into the team if we were given the money. Really excited about the next ten matches, we aren't expected to do much but who knows, European Football could be on the cards next season for the Frem Army?



#FremingHell

The board elections have passed and we now have a new Chairman. I have managed to keep my job which is pleasing as I have played a few games on FM where I have been sacked when a new Chairman has come in so it's nice to be part of the Frem Army for the considerable future (hopefully forever).



Our finances now look a lot more healthy now Hanson has taken over. The future is bright, the future is Frem.



We've recently had our Youth Candidates come through and this is the best of the bunch. Our Youth Candidates have actually done quite well in recent years and made some good money for the club. First season we had Rene Fraysse who has been on the verge of the first team this season. Second season we had Torben Olesen who moved to Leverkusen for £825k. Finally then last season we Michael Peterson who has been signed by Deportivo for £190k. Lets hope Jepson is more of a Olesen/Peterson type than a Fraysse. It's obviously nice to sell these players on for money but in the future, when the nation and the club have grown, I would like these players to want to stay here and not have their heads turned my 'bigger' clubs.

Oh f*ck you Copenhagen. Battered by our/my biggest rivals.

Maazou has just been injured and ruled out for a month. This means I have no fit strikers in the squad. It is now time to unleash 'The Kou'.



I signed him last Summer and he has been in my youth side all season. I saw similarities for Olesen and have re-trained him as a striker. I was hoping to unleash him next season as I didn't really want to take any risks. Yes, his finishing isn't great for a striker but he can always improve on that. I am kind of seeing this situation as a Manchester United/Rashford situation. The Kou can be our new star.

FEED THE KOU AND HE WILL SCORE!

This lad is going to be a star, I am sure of it. He has been fantastic for me this season and is improving at an alarming rate. I have managed to sign him down to a four-year deal and he has no minimum release clause either which is nice. Can't see us keeping him for too long, one more seasons tops? I think we should get some big money for him though. Same goes with Yaya Meite, he's turning into some player also.



The new Chairman has also paid for me to take my National B License. Coaching God. I also, saw this... Poor Olesen or F*ck Olesen @Shedender...



... F*CK OLSEN. JUDAS!

So the end is here and what a Fremtastic season it has been for the club. I was really worried about the Championship Group but we really hold our own and only actually lost four games which I am really happy about. Unfortunately Copenhagen found their feet and finished 3 points above me. Firstly I thought F*ck Copenhagen and then I thought again and thought F*ck Copenhagen even more. We will topple them one day, I am sure of it.



One thing really exciting about finishing in 5th position is that we still have a possibility of entering Europe next season. Midtjylland and Brondby will enter the Champions League while AaB and Copenhagen will enter the Europa League. As we finished 5th, we now enter the final stage of the European Play Off. What this essentially means is that we have a one off game, if we win the game then we enter Europe. So yeah, we have one more match to play this season and it's a very important one. I also forgot to mention that we reached the Quarter Finals of the Danish Cup this season but ended up getting knocked out by Midtjylland. We got a hefty amount of prize money for coming 5th as well, I just hope that I will see some of it.



Bring on the European Play Off! We are one win away from European Football at Frem next season. Frem-f*cking-tastic.

We've had a terrible time against them in our two league matches and I'm sure we always seem to lose against them. Fingers crossed.

FREM WILL BE PLAYING EUROPEAN FOOTBALL NEXT SEASON!!!

Amazing performance which has seen us qualify for the Europa League next season. I am not sure what stage we enter yet but it is a fantastic achievement for the club. It is a huge pull for new players also to say that we are playing in Europe. Over the moon, now time to rebuild for next season. Olesen, I am coming for you. I get given my budgets in a few days, lets hope this new Chairman is nice to me.

Great achievement @Fola and lets hope it'll become a regular feature from now on in.

Fingers crossed @Shedender, absolutely buzzing to be honest. As usual, the player stats from the season are below.



Goalkeepers


The the fourth successive season Alexander Nybo was my number one goalkeeper. He will be my number one goalkeeper next season however I will be looking to bring in a young back up for him and somebody who can push him in the future. I will probably look towards Africa to try and get a cheap back up goalkeeper. Nybo is good but he won't become a world beater.

Defenders


Despite a few big losses, the defence were actually a lot more solid this season. My starting back four consisted of: Jenson, Vervoort, Rasmussen, Hernandez. I will not be looking to make any drastic changes in defence. Obviously if I find any players with high potential then I will look to bring them in, however I am not too worried about this position anymore. We also had Benaissa and Nielsen who dropped into defence when we needed.

Midfielders


If we can keep them, our midfield three will be a force to be reckoned with. Benaissa in front of the defence, with Arboleda and Meite as the central midfield two = PURE DELUXE. I will be looking to bring in maybe one or two wingers and players with some potential from abroad but nothing drastic. Excited to see how Monday Onuh can do next season as he missed most of this season through injury. Kristensen and Sterring are out of contracts at their parent clubs in the Summer and I will definitely be looking to bring them in permanently if the budget allows it.

Strikers


Jahmal Ingram-Hughes spent most of the season on left wing and I doubt I will looking to extend his loan. Jorgensen had an OK first season but if I am honest, I will be expecting a lot more next season. Maazou has one year left of his contract which is so frustrating but hopefully somebody will take him off our hands this Summer. If not, he will still be here with his Match Highest Earner contract. F*ck my life. Axel Cisse impressed out on loan but he's not good enough to make the step up. I will be looking to bring in one maybe two strikers.

For the third time in five seasons, Danni Jensen has been named the Fans POTY. He has been a great servant here and played brilliantly for me this season once again. He has hit 30 years old now so he may decline over the next few seasons but for now, he is still my starting right back. William Arboleda only played half a season for me but was fantastic and I hope he can continue that form next season. Mathias Kristensen, for the third year running won the Young POTY.

TORBEN OLESEN I AM COMING FOR YOU!!

Our current wage budget is £50k and the transfer budget was £0. We now have a real chance to invest in some players with potential here- Olesen is my number 1 target. Bring on next season. Happy days!

Frem, Frem, Fremmmmmm!

Happy days. Frem are on the up. The prize money at this league is what keeps us alive. I will be looking to hopefully improve the training facilities and youth facilities if the finances do allow me. I have made a few signings already and to be honest, more than I expected I would but I will update on that soon. Some amazing news is that relegated AC Horsens have taken Match Highest Earner Maazou off my hands. This is going to be an exciting Summer...



#VivaLaFrem

The draw for the Euro League Second Qualifying Round happens in a few days so I will update you on my all my transfers soon. To be fair, I am really happy with the expectations the board have set me. Obviously, like normal I will be looking to hopefully beat all of these expectations. I am dreaming of the Europa League Group Stages so hopefully the draws will be kind to us. The board have also used some of the prize money to improve the training facilities which is great news.

The Europa League Qualifying starts in 4 days where we have been drawn against either Cliftonville or FH. Not a clue about either of them to be honest but we will see how that goes. I have just made two massive signings, probably the best two signings I have ever made at the club. Firstly, I will introduce the first signing:



HE'S BACK!

One and a half seasons after leaving the club in a deal worth £825k to German side Leverkusen, Torben Olesen rejoins the Frem Army on a loan deal until the end of the season. We will be paying £2.7k a week of his wages and £11.75 a month to keep him for the season. He spent half of last season out on loan at fellow Danish side Silkeborg. His stats actually haven't improved at all since he left the club. His acceleration has even dropped so hopefully with a full season under his belt, his stats will improve again. I am absolutely over the moon to have been able to bring him back. The best thing is, I don't even think that he's the best signing for me this window...

I introduce you the best player by far, that has ever the time-being represented the Frem Army. Yes, he is our highest earner on £7.25k a week, smashing ahead of our second highest earner who is on £3k a week but if you want the best players, then you need to pay the cash.



There is no way in a million years that he would of joined the club if we weren't in the Europa League. The unfortunate thing for Szczesny is that we may be out of the Europa League before he knows it. However, I am certain here that we have the best goalkeeper in the league. Alexander Nybo has been great for me the past four seasons but there was no way I was going to turn this opportunity down. He has a release clause of £6.5 million and he has signed a three year deal at the club. Even if he leaves the club within 6 months, we should get great money for him.



I wasn't even going to approach him and did it more out of curiosity than anything. He initially wanted 10k a week but I managed to bring him here for £7.25 which I am sure is a massive decrease from his wages at Arsenal. He is only 30 years old so for a goalkeeper, he is probably reaching his prime. I am amazed he has joined us here but I can't see him being here for long. We have just signed Poland's number one goalkeeper and a player who would top look out of place in one of the top divisions in the world. Instead, he has signed for Frem who are not even the biggest team in the Danish league.



#VivaElSzczesny

Szczesny's a superb signing for the #FremArmy and on very little wages as well, which is great. Hope he performs for you.

Great signing and your finances are looking healthy. Looking forward to seeing Frem smash the Euro League.

#walkinginaFremywonderland

amazing coup getting szczesny in, i am surprised he was willing to join on such a low contract i would retrain eric kouadlo to a winger if i were you, he has good pace, dribbling and crossing abilities that can be developed further...

Thanks @Shedender, I don't have a clue how we have managed to bring him here to be honest but I'm not complaining. Thanks @Hammer100, really happy with my signings this season, lets hope for a European Dream hey? @BananaRama2000 That's a great shout about The Kou. I've sent him out on loan but when he returns I will definitely be doing that. Our league is starting much sooner than usual due to the fact that we are in the Europa League Second Qualifying round. We face Icelandic side FH in the 2nd Round and we are favourites apparently. As the season has started a lot sooner than usual, I have had to rush to make my transfers. I feel that now I have made all of the signings I need and I'm really happy with how the squad is looking.



In terms of outgoings, the major move was that of Youth Player Michael Peterson who joined Deportivo. Beran Camili and The Big Koch were good players for me in the lower leagues but I decided to let them move on. Rene Fraysse was the first player to come through the Youth Candidates here at Frem but unfortunately failed to make the grade. The others released were players who had been in my B team for years and hadn't managed to play for the first team for a while. Henry Castro in an El Salvador international who has joined Horsen on loan, joining Maazou who I am over the moon about to have got rid of. If Maazou had of stayed here he would be earning the same at Szczesny on £7.25k a week! The Kou would of found first team opportunities limited this season so has been sent out on loan while Kristian Anderson has been shipped off to Sweden.

As I have once again made quite a few changes to the squad, I will be leaving player profiles of my first team below.

Goalkeepers

99: Wojciech Szczesny - Poland's number one and our best player. Formerly of Arsenal and Roma.
1: Alexander Nybo - Been our first choice for the last four seasons. Will be number one again if he's happy to wait until Szczesny leaves.
12: Gustavo Zarate - Brought in purely as a back up goalkeeper.

Right Backs

19: Danni Jenson - Has been my starting right back since I started. Won POTY three times.
2: Mauricio Hernandez - Was my starting left back last season but I see him as Jenson's successor in the long term.

Left Backs

3: Mahmoud Raouf - Our record transfer signing. Egyptian international and only 19 years old. Has a £1.2 million release clause which sucks.
20: Philippe Boumsoung - Cameroonian Under 20 international. One for the future.

Centre Backs

13: Niels Bisp Rasmussen - Entering his second season at the club, quality defender at this level.
5: Jonathan Vervoort - Entering his fifth season and has made 120 appearances for us. Yet to score though.
15: Mathias Nielsen - Will be used more as a ball playing centre back than his natural centre midfielder position this season.
19: Wojciech Wozniak - Joined on loan from our affiliate side Evian. Good back up.
14: Ibrahim Koroma - Only made two appearances in the last two seasons. Lucky to still be here.

Centre Midfielders

4: Amine Benaisse - Absolute warrior of a player. Can also play at centre back but I see him better suited to a holding role.
16: Mathias Kristensen - Been YPOTY the past three seasons here. Will probably be more of a back up this season.
8: Elton - Brazilian Under 20 international. One for the future.
10: William Arboleda - Fantastic player at this level. Expecting big things from him this season.
6: Yaya Meite - One of the best players at the club. Has improved dramatically since joining six months ago.
25: Antoni Sarcevic - Made the step up well to this level last season. Good all round midfielder.
27: Thomas Asmussen - One of my first signings at the club. He's happy being a back up these days.

Right Midfielders

11: Monday Onuh - 19 year old winger who missed most of last season with a broken leg. Bags of potential.
26: Emre Mor - Entering his fourth season at the club. Will be rotated with Onuh and also trained to play left midfield.

Left Midfielders

7: Simon Sterring - Signed permanently after spending the last two seasons here on loan. A player a really like.
22: Jahmal Hector-Ingram - Good back up for Sterring and has done well the past two seasons here. Got him on loan for the season.

Strikers

9: Torben Olesen - Our star man. Recently got him back on loan after we sold him to Leverkusen for £825k two seasons ago.
18: Johannes Jorgensen - Our captain but will probably be back up to Olesen this season as I only play with one striker.
30: Adaigiso - Brazilian youngster found by my scouts. One for the future.
31: Lima - Same as Adaigiso. One for the future.

Now bring on the Europa League. Frem, Frem, Fremmmmm!

#FremsEuropaDream

Wo-wo-wojciech! Can't believe you managed to get him! Fair play to you. Could prove the difference to not only qualifying for the group stages, but also fucking over Copenhagen

Superb work making European football come to Frem @Fola and thats helped you in the transfer window, some good additions!

Our Europa League journey has ended prematurely after we failed to make the group stages. French Ligue One side Lorient beat us over two legs but I was really happy with the lads and how they fared against opposition from a better league.



We managed to progress through the Second Qualifying Round after beating Icelandic side FH over two legs. We managed to secure a one all draw in the first leg against Lorient thanks to a last minute strike from new signing Adalgiso. Unfortunately we did not manage to win the second leg and Mathias Kristensen hit the post for us in the last minute of the game which would of sent us through.



So our Europa League dream is over but hopefully we can qualify again for next season with a positive league campaign. Thanks for the comment once again @Suffolk Seasider, Szczesny couldn't save us but hopefully he can be an asset in the league. @Dan, thanks for the comment and we may have a new more new recruits on the way. Watch this space.

Former Newcastle, Marseille and Rennes midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa has signed for the Frem Army. He is another player that I feel is a real coup for the club.



For this league, his technical and mental stats are fantastic as he should be a real asset. He has experience in some of the top leagues in Europe and I am hopeful he can still do a job here. He is on a relatively cheap deal here and it's only until the end of the season so if it doesn't work out, they we won't be renewing his deal. He is not as much as a coup as Szczesny was but it's still great to have players of this quality playing for Frem.



And we have an even bigger signing on the way...

Another superb swoop on little wages, excellent work @Fola and can't wait to see who the other signing is . . .
