Career Danovic78 Presents...The F.C Barcelona 86-87 Challenge


 Share

Recommended Posts

So with my Triple Threat challenge in full swing I thought I would try this short challenge that I posted last week. 

The F.C Barcelona 86-87 Challenge

So with the famous Messi, Suarez, Neymar banished to the reserves and on the transfer list I needed to replace them with my all UK front line. I didn't want to go for some big hitters so decided on a front line of...

So no huge signings here. Wickham cost the most at £14m with Vokes at £6.25 and Martin at £6m.

This will be a five season challenge so I picked those players who should peak at the right time during the challenge, or so I hope!

Good to see you didn't go Kane, Bale and... McCoist?!

Yeah, didn't want the obvious ones. I looked for Big Alan McInally but I couldn't find him! ;)

Challenge Goals

So a good start as both Vokes and Martin hit 40 plus goals and Wickham just short of 30 as we hit 113 in total. Rafinha was the driving force from the middle and also scored a few too many goals!

Challenge Goals

A drop of goals to 90 as couldn't match the opening season. I struggled to keep Wickham fully fit and that impacted the amount of games he played. Our total is 203 for the two season so far.

Very solid start mate, delighted to see you were creative with your strikers :). 

Thanks, I didn't want to go obvious with my choices.

Cracking start. Love your choice of strikers.

See if these guys can carry on!

Nice work. What databases did you load? I tried Spain, England, Scotland and Wales to maximise players from their nationality - the best Welsh striker cost 40k... There was no vokes, church etc?!

Nice job Danovic and what a cracking amount of Goals. Very nice front three and what a goal fest but Wickham needs to get going. Also what is there a target for the 5 season challenge or do just score as much as you can

Thanks, solid but unspectacular as expected with these guys.

It's a hard league and these guys aren't world beaters, I think I'll give this a crack in tandem with my Guedes challenge - if you avoid bale, Kane and berihno this becomes a real competition of tactical ability. 5 seasons is achievable for most in a month or so - I'd love for a gamer league table to come about out of this challenge.

Thanks, Yeah Wickham is not really a great poacher like the other two.

Just score as many as you can in 5/10 seasons at club level!

I agree Danovic but thanks to a timely comment from Ashez I have decided to continue my attempt. (Hopefully season 3 will be up by the end of the week). Can't wait to see your next update and hopefully Wickham can justify his fee

Some solid transfers here with my old favorites Oztunali and Can boosting the midfield.

Challenge Goals

Much better and back over 100 for the trio. Wickham hit a career high 40 matched by Vokes with Martin someway behind on 26.

We have now reached 401 goal in total with Vokes leading the way on 155.

With just one season to go can we break 500?

Nice job Danovic hopefully you can break the 500 mark. An average of 100 goals a season is great for a group of forwards who have never lit up the premier league

Challenge Goals

The last season was a let down with only 84 club goals. Vokes and Martin hit 31 and 30 with Wickham behind on 23.

So we finish on a total of 485 goals for the five seasons, not a bad total but disappointed not to hit 500.

Fantastic going dude I wouldn't be too upset about not to hit 500 considering the strikers you used you did amazingly well to hit 485 I think

FANTASTIC WORK!!!!!!

Thanks mate, it was a nice little short career playing with Championship Strikers really.

Thanks, we were so close in the end. I blame Wickham's poor fitness! ;)
