Review

We played at our very best this month. Our huge wins against Honka and againt Sheriff proved that. Our goalscoring form has been nothing short of fantastic. There was not a single game where we looked like losing, we dominated every game.

Vincent Dubois has to be my Player of the Month again. He has been red-hot for us and there has not been anybody anywhere near his class. He scored another five goals this month and has been a superstar.

August Fixtures

Next month we will have our second leg against Sheriff which we will look to win. We then have two easy games against AC Oulu and the rest will be plain sailing, including a Vali-Suomi derby against JJK. We will look to get maximum points from these games and put both hands on the league title before playing even twenty games this season.

Manager's Note

I am very happy that we have found our best form of the season so far. With a very young squad, our performances can only get better! We will be looking to grow as a team and to keep building up our reputation as one of the toughest teams to play in all of Europe. Until next time, stay tuned!

Great month Nick!

2013-02-10 18:25#80594 Blue : Great month Nick!

Thanks Ben I'm hoping for even better!

A little Announcement

Hi guys, I have a little announcement to make. I am now a fair bit in to the game so a lot of things have changed. If anybody wants a screenshot of a player, a team, a competition, or anything else, please ask me. I will provide them for you here

If u have the Danish leagues loaded could you take a screenshot of Vetokele from kobenhavn

I wish Vincent Dubois was Belgian

I wish he was Finnish for Home-Grown players sake

hey rookie,

great story, you are doing brilliantly with a little team from snowy Finland, I suppose it is just like your last KuPS story. If it not to much hassle, could I possibly get a screenshot of Southampton Fc, and also Tom Rogic if you can find him.

Thanks and good luck for future matches,

Thanks very much for the nice comment

Screenshots of Southampton here:

As you can see, Southampton have a very impressive squad with the likes of Will Hughes, Nick Powwel and Ryad Boudebouz. They finished 11th in the Premier League last season. They lost all three leagues so far this season against Spurs, Newcastle and Everton and are 20th in the league.


Unfortunately Tom Rogic isn't in my game. Apologies for that

Review

We were not at our best in the league this month and we only scraped a draw against AC Oulu. However, we were excellent in Europe and we have gone all the way through to the Champions League group stages! This is the third year in a row and I am absolutely delighted with our progress.

For a third month in a row, Vincent Dubois is my Player of the Month. He has played well for another month and has bagged another five goals. Leeds United and Huddersfield have both been bidding for Vincent Dubois but I would only accept £5M for him.

Training Facilities Upgrade



Youth Facilities Upgrade



Hynynen Contract Terminated



Our training facilities are already very good but there isn't a problem with upgrading it any further. The youth facilities need upgrading for us to develop our own players. Hynynen's contract was terminated as he doesn't ever play and was taking up wage space.

September Fixtures

We have a very busy schedule with no leass than nine fixtures in September. We are to play two Champions League games and the Finnish Cup Final. We will look to secure the treble next month and maybe pick up a win against Fenerbahce.

Manager's Note

We did amazing to reach the Champions League group stages again and we are looking like a decent European side now. Hopefully we can show our class in our two Champions League games next month. Until next time, stay tuned!

Haven't been following much unfortunately, but you look to be doing well, and that is an interesting CL group indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing how you fare against Chelsea.

P.S. Who is Daylson?

P.S. Who is Daylson?

Thanks Glenn Last time I played in England I drew 0-0 at Anfield. Hopefully I can emulate that result this time

Daylson was a Brazilian LLM player

No, this time you trash 'em

Pretty good month, great win over Basel, and I think you've got a shot against Fenerbahce and Marseille at home
