Recommended Posts

Did you hear the one about the Englishman, Scotsman and Welshman?

June...1984.....Barcelona

Diego Maradona, one of the greatest players to play the game is deemed surplus to requirements at the Camp Nou and is sold to Napoli for £6.9m. Who would replace the him, several names are mentioned Rudi Völler, Hugo Sánchez also a possible a return for Austrian star Hans Krankl. Step forward a 27 year old Scottish International called Steve Archibald, he was signed from Spurs for £1.25m.

July 1986....

Terry “El Tel” Venables is going into his third season as manager at the Camp Nou, he has just failed to lift the European Cup a few months early losing on penalties to Steaua Bucherest. Needing some more fire power he looked again to the UK to provide the striking power he needed and signed Mark Hughes from Manchester United for £2m and Gary Lineker, fresh from his Golden Boot in the World Cup for £2.8m from Everton.

With the addition of Hughes and Lineker alongside Steve Archibald, Venables had an all UK front three. Due to two foreign player rule all three could not play at once but now you can pick up that challenge...

Challenge Rules

1. Load up Spain and any other countries and take charge of F.C. Barcelona.

2. You must sell/demote Messi, Suarez & Neymar. You cannot use them in this challenge.

3. You must buy one English, Scottish and Welsh striker to replace them.

4. Set a target for the number of club goals scored, international goals do not count.

5. Own formations only

6. No unlockables, edited databases, or use of any of the editors

7. Evidence is required, I'd suggest posting a career thread for us to follow.

8. No cheating - Restarting to avoid injuries counts as cheating!!

9. Either go for a 5 season target or 10 season.

You've done it again looks very interesting indeed

would it be worth buying 2 of each in case of injuries or just the normal three and go from there

Thanks Taff. Well its up to you but you can only count the goals from your first choice players. I have started this one and just bought the three strikers and used the youth strikers as back up. Will post an update soon.

Got another two 80's challenges in the pipeline too so watch this space.

Great challenge. Might give the 5 seasons a go along side my Guedes challenge. The Scot is going to be really interesting. 

Thanks, it was meant as a quick challenge. I did do a bit of research to find the best options but its always good to play with players that you would not normally sign.

Might give this a bash tbh

It's a nice short challenge, I have just finished my go. Good to pick out some different players that you wouldn't normally sign as a big club like Barca.

Selling players does seem much harder since the update, esp those three on such big wages. I did sell all of them in the end, no shock really where they went....:unamused:
