#FM26 #Trailblazer Part 18: Holm Brings Her Favourite Players to America. The @wearebayfc squad is heavily strengthened, including a star winger and left back, to record another club-high finish and an @NWSL Final against Orlando.

Trailblazer | Part 18 | Holm Brings Her Favourite Players to America
Freja Holm brought ageing superstar striker Barbra Banda back to the NWSL in 2038 but it didn't quite provide the spark that the Swedish manager was hoping for. Her Bay FC side finished in a record-equalling 5th, but finished the season in really poor form. But Holm had her sight set much higher than 5th place. She began the 2038 offseason by selling on underperforming players, including starting goalkeeper Thyrrestrup to Leicester, for a profit of £1.1m.

Swedish manager Freja Holm was back on the job hunt after a successful 12 months in Japan, leading Urawa Reds to their first league title in 11 years. That added the Japanese title to the two in Italy, as Holm looked to tick off all 11 playable nations in Football Manager 26.

#WonderkidFactory Part 5: Cruel Penalty Pain. @OfficialThespa's #J2League promotion hopes come down to a final day showdown amid a real drop in form at the end of the season.

Read here:
Wonderkid Factory | Part 5 | Cruel Penalty Pain
Just six minutes separated Thespa Gunma from a surprise promotion to the Japanese top tier. However, the J2 League's silly rule that the home side gets promoted if a playoff final is drawn meant they missed out, which, in hindsight, was probably for the best given they'd just recorded the club's record high finish.

After three-and-a-half seasons in Sweden and four-and-a-half seasons in England, Freja Holm had done a great job rebuilding the fortunes of Alingsås IF and Everton Women. However, the dominance of Arsenal and Chelsea left the 42-year-old feelling a little jaded with life in England. So, when Italian side Fiorentina came calling, she jumped at the new opportunity.
