Blog Update #3

Published on by Chris Fuller

Thank you for reading my latest Fuller FM blog update. As you can tell from the title, I have a major announcement to make.

With Football Manager 2019’s life cycle coming to a close just as my third career story reaches its conclusion, I have decided that it’s time to move on. After this post, I will not write any more FM19 content for this blog.

I will explain in detail why I’ve made this decision later in this post, after I’ve written a bit about each of the three stories I’ve covered here. Before all that, though, I want to get one thing straight… Continue reading “Blog Update #3” →

Lyn On Me: Season Review 2024

Published on by Chris Fuller

2024 was a big year for Lyn 1896, who made their long-awaited return to the Eliteserien. 14 years after the original club went into liquidation, Lyn were once again competing with Molde, Rosenborg and all the other major Norwegian clubs.

Could Marit Enstad defy the odds and keep her team in the top flight, or would their battle for survival end in tears? Would they enjoy a lengthy run in the Cupen? All those questions will be answered in this Season Review, which also includes player awards, stats, and a round-up of the domestic campaign.

Of course, you can find all six story chapters from the 2024 season in the links provided: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6. I would strongly suggest you read the last chapter in particular – if you haven’t done so already – before you carry on here.

Lyn On Me: Season 6, Part 6 – BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL

Published on by Chris Fuller

Who says Football Manager doesn’t produce enough drama? Yet another season at Lyn 1896 is reaching a nail-biting conclusion. Whereas last year saw Marit Enstad’s team go to extra-time while chasing promotion to the Eliteserien, they’re now battling to stay in it.

Lyn’s survival has come down to their final two regular-season games – both at home against their fiercest rivals: Stabæk, and Vålerenga. If all goes well, they’ll be safe and sound; if not, a promotion/relegation play-off surely awaits.

You can read Part 5 here to see how Marit’s men got on in the build-up to this finale. When you’re ready, we’ll join the First Lady of the Bislett to see if 2024 ends in ecstasy or agony… Continue reading “Lyn On Me: Season 6, Part 6 – BATTLE FOR SURVIVAL” →
