Insane decline for Center in terms of seats compared to their performance in percentage. Is their vote that badly distributed?

As I understand it, the Finnish system is basically D'hondt in every multimember constituency. So that will generally benefit the bigger parties somewhat, in that they can get some "cheap seats" in terms of votes. And in the last election, Center was with some distance the biggest party, so will have gotten those cheap seats many places. When you look at share of seats in relations to share of votes in 2015, it mostly follows size. Centre Party 1.16, Finns Party 1.08, NCP 1.02, SDP 1.03, Greens 0.88, Left Alliance 0.84, SFP 0.92 & KD 0.71.

Was no one from Blue Reform close to having a personal vote, that could have given the party a seat anywhere? Or was Soini the only one who could have pulled that off?
