| Divison 2 West Gotaland 2011 team's location. The red dots show 1 team's location while the green dot are 4 teams including Västra Frölunda. |
Before I start my game I had to check the history of Västra Frölunda. I know the team since when they used to play in Allsvenskan (the top division in Sweden) so I know its history a little bit at least.
Because of the cold winters in Sweden, the leagues play from spring to fall. I will start with the 2011 season, that in real life is already finished. Frölunda are placed in Division 2 West Gotaland, a division with 12 teams. There are 6 different regional leagues in division 2, and is the 4th tier in the Swedish football league system.
Each team play each other twice with a total of 22 matches. We will also take part in the Swedish FA Cup (Svenska Cupen).
Västra Frölunda is located in the western part of Gothenburg. Our fiercest rivals are IFK Göteborg, GAIS, Häcken and Örgryte, but they are all in division above us. We do however have three other teams located in Gothenburg and its suburbs. First we have Kållered SK located in the suburb Kållered, then there's Lindome GIF in the suburb Lindome, both very close to each other. We will have a real derby against Utsiktens BK as they are also located in the Frölunda borough. They'll be my main enemy this season, I'll make sure to win whatever the cost.
Västra Frölunda was relegated in 2010 so our main goal must be to get back to Division 1. However, the media predicts us at around place 6th, and the board expects us to get a respectable top half finish. I haven't had a chance to inspect my players and compare us to the rest of the league yet, and there isn't much money to improve the squad either, so perhaps I'll just do as expected and aim for a "respectable top half finish".
To get promoted to Division 1 we'll need to win the league, or gather enough points to be the best ranked second-placed team. The two lowest placed teams in each league will be relegated while the third lowest placed team will have to play promotion/relegation play-offs.
Västra Frölunda has always been considered as a feeder club for bigger teams in Sweden. The clubs brings in youth players and then sell them on, and has never really spent any money on bringing players with better quality. To not jeopardise the clubs economy, no real money are ever spent.
The clubs highest ever position was in 1998 when they finished 5th in Allsvenskan. Now it's my job to bring them back.
