🏮 NEW BLOG POST! 🏮

A short and sweet conclusion to Enzo Scutari's fourth and final season in charge of Viktoria Köln.

Could season four go any better than three?

'Immer Weiter' post 8, 'Das Ende' is up now.

Starting to work on new music tonight for the first time in a year or so 🎧🎹.

…and even if you could get out and explore new things, all the record shops have closed down and town centres are just empty units.
This hit my weak point for massive damage

Went to a gig last night. Clark at the CCA in Glasgow. Absolutely unbelievable.

Players you might have forgotten played for certain clubs. I know I did.

A thread.

After ten games, we are the most over-performing team in Europe's big five leagues.

While scoring only one more goal than our chances deserved, the form of keeper Kastenmeier has been incredible.

As a result we are 11 points ahead of where we logically should be, based on our performances.

After building a side full of hard-working and aggressive team players, I thought I'd give us the luxury of a couple of highly promising flair players in the January 2027 window.

This will give us more flexibility to change games where we need to.

It's time to bring this one back for #FM24.

Football Manager players when losing the first league game of the season after hours of preparation and a great run of friendly results...

#FM24 tip.

Actually use the opposition reports which appear in your inbox to tweak your approach, even just through Opposition Instructions.

In this example, I could keep our best striker on the opposite side from Pfeiffer, Close Down Jasper and Krivak and start the game with a Positive mentality.

After help from the wonderfully gifted @fmgrasshopper.coffeehousefm.com, I've managed to use my domain for a custom handle on here.

One striker passes to the other with a De Bruyne-esque 200 IQ ball ⚽️.

Lovely.

#FM24 tip.

Use the Data Hub > Player screen to scout for high-performing players at specific actions in your division in seconds.

For example, find the strikers who have the highest non-penalty xG per 90, or the midfielders who have been the busiest and most effective tacklers.

Facing Napoli in the Champions League. How times have changed in 2026 for Viktoria Köln!

We managed a 0-0 away draw at Dinamo on match day one, but this will be a much tougher test.

I was just about to post about this discovery on Understat myself. If Fulham took their chances, according to this particular model, they'd be 2nd.

I had a quick search first and found @kimischilling.bsky.social beat me to it with this great article!

I love statistical anomalies like this.

⚽📈
We've found some weird discrepancies between xG models. Understat have Fulham 2nd in their Expected Points table; StatsBomb don't think they're that good.

But Fulham *are* genuinely improved and competitive for a European place:

I don’t post much personal stuff on the other platform, but 🦋 is a lot more relaxed, it seems.

Outside of FM, I work in tech change, love making electronic music and collecting wristwatches. I’m also married and I am a Dad to my wee girl.

What are you into?

The Viktoria Köln blog series is still going strong after seven posts, but I also have a bunch of ideas for more #FM24 content before the new game.

Perhaps some short challenges with one or two blog posts to cover them. Different recruitment approaches, start dates or tactical starting points.

I wonder what will happen here when the user base becomes absolutely colossal.

They’ll need to monetise it somehow to keep the lights on.

But how, without following the same dark path as other platforms?

I rediscovered this daft web game recently. Takes me straight back to lunchtimes at an old office job I had where a group of us would crowd around a computer, meal deals in hand and take turns at this...before doing 1990s Premier League quizzes on Sporcle.
