Career The Barcelona 86-87 Challenge My Attempt


Recommended Posts

Hi all this is my FC Barcelona 86-87 attempt

I have decided to attempt Danovic78's Barcelona 86-87 challenge (original challenge post here: http://vibe.community/forums/topic/37735-the-fc-barcelona-86-87-challenge/

Pre Season 

In my first season at Barcelona I had a few tough choices to make. Firstly I had to pick my forward line but it was hard as I didn't want to use Sam Vokes (problem is he is the only good Welsh striker on the game apart from Bale) because of Danovic78's challenge attempt nor did I want to pick any player who's starting value was over 10mil to offer some originality to my attempt.

I have decided that my front three shall be:

Troy Deeney

Jordan Rhodes

Tom Bradshaw

Transfers

Sold a few players that I personally didn't rate highly or who were on the outer IRL. This gave me a nice transfer budget to play with and I decided to flex my financial muscle and splash the cash on Stones and Coleman.

Tactic

Hopefully my attempt goes well and I would appreciate any comments below

Good luck, pleased to see someone else giving this a go!

I nearly went for Rhodes too. Deeney looks outstanding in this update.

Are you using the Enhanced or Original Match Engine?

Good luck Real, interesting concept you've got here. Just one thing Jordan Rhodes valued at £15 Million must be a bug! Good luck mate I'll be watching with a keen eye.

Season 1

In my first season I started poorly and this continued throughout the season with Barca finishing 6th (Forgot to screenshot table) Sorry for the lack of detail will do better for next update. I also forgot to mention I will be doing the 5 season challenge.

Spanish Super Cup

Good start to what turned out to be a bleak season

Decent start for my forwards

Lost out to Man City in the Round of 16

No photo sorry but I won

Great start so far mate, following this with intent, sceptical about the acquisition of Bradshaw but the other 2 are class in FMM so should carry him over the line! Keep it up, can't wait for next instalment ??

Well Bradshaw is the only other good welsh striker apart from Vokes or Bale but he is a great buy 1.9million and he almost scored the same amount of goals he scored in league 1 which is great for this challenge as I know my welsh striker will build up the total too (I was expecting to rely on Deeney and Rhodes)

In this thread I talked about why I enjoy using Jordan Rhodes and I found some images to show why

Real Question is will he ever stop?

Another Great Season 15mil well spent.

Tom Bradshawimage.thumb.png.d781d8c1b1fead298e2d5b76image.thumb.png.077dfa86f48cd61042f4c916

For a player who started in League 1 Bradshaw has shown himself to be truly amazing in the Liga BBVA.

Overall Total

Troy Deeney 85 Goals

Jordan Rhodes 32 Goals

Tom Bradshaw 28 Goals

Nice totals for three players who have all played in the lower leagues of English Football.

Hope you all enjoyed Season 2 and hopefully more success follows on in Season 3

btw  I am still stuck with Messi, Neymar and Suarez rotting in the reserves

Solid going, your three have really surprised me! Keep it going mate! 

Thanks Ashez hopefully season 3 will be done soon. Tbh I'm shocked how well my three are going considering only one of them has played in the premier league. Thanks for the support

Same here, I'm glad both these challenges are using players outside the normal "PA list superstars". Nothing like using those hidden gems :D

Kiu! Deeney is flying and Bradshaw is doing fantastic for this level. I reckon Rhodes could start pulling his weight a bit more though...

Thanks and I totally agree but as I have shown with an earlier post I trust that Rhodes will perform at the highest level

Just caught up mate looking good.

Decent totals for lower league players for sure. Keep it up

Thanks and I agree with you. I have been shocked by how many goals my trio have scored and at the highest level is even better.

Good going, Deeney is outstanding. Hopefully the other will chip in with a few more.

Thanks and Deeney is the only reason I will get a high total for this challenge because Rhodes and Bradshaw could never keep up.

Thank you all for the support

Champions again but I think we're coming to to point in the career where winning the league is no longer enough.

Troy Deeney

image.thumb.png.edc4702f6d4a6ae4af4dde28image.thumb.png.474c66744f1b8b8ddba36440

I think age is starting to catch up to Troy Deeney 8 less goals than last season

Tom Bradshaw 50

Jordan Rhodes 73 Goals

Troy Deeney 159 Goals

Forward Pack Total 282

Not the best total and with Deeney scoring less than last year this challenge is in serious jeopardy.

Keep going, you never know when one of your strikers might have an amazing season, I have had that before with a front three.

Thanks Danovic but I think Deeney will be my only shining light this year due to last years lack of goal

Conclusion

Well this challenge hasn't gone the way I wanted but I've completed the challenge and I'm a little sad it's over but I've enjoyed every second and it was great playing with Bradshaw, Rhodes and Deeney. I was shocked how well they went at a club I never dreamed they would play for. I would have never bought these players for Barcelona in another save but this challenge was great and full credit to Danovic 78 for creating this epic challenge that has made be love FMM 16 even more.

Thanks for all the support everyone
