Career Kluivert Reborn

[Robbrown172]

Are you just doing him moving from Ajax to Barcelona? He also played for Milan for a season before Barcelona, and then Newcastle and Valencia.

Great idea btw!

He's had an interesting career and the game will throw a few curveballs your way so don't worry about it being interesting. It will

Season 2 Update

So I went into Season 2 with alot of expectations placed on our young Kluivert...will this be the season he becomes a star like his dad?? 

Firstly lets start with the transfer business....

As you can see from above we did some business in prep for season 2. 

The season started and it didnt take long for Kluivert to pick up another knock and this one cost me a month of his presence on the field ?

I made the decision to try and minimalize the presence of Dolberg in my side and even tried Kluivert as a poacher for a period of time to see it that had any improvement on his goal scoring. However in doing this, it just enabled this guy to shine even more...

Although Kluivert did score a goal but not as often as I needed.

End of Season Rewiew

I have to hold my hands up and say this season I made a few too many mistakes with trying to change the formation. Sometimes it pays off and other times it doesnt. I conceded goals far too often in the dying minutes of the game and my only excuse is maybe I signed too many young players and neglected to have some maturity in my side. Live and learn as they say!

Kluivert picked up an injury again and as you can see from the pic below he was not yet 100% 

As you can see he scored 3 more goals, created 5 more assists and his average rating was much improved. I therefore feel like he is improving albeit in slowly.

As it stands I have obtained 1 of 3 league titles needed before I can move to Barcelona to manage them and then sign Kluivert. 

Season 3 Sneak Preview

Season 3 was just what the doctor ordered! I decided we needed to mix things up and as you can see we moved on a fair few players. My signings are a blend of youth and experience in Maguire. The loan signings were only to add some depth to the squad.

I have Matip in goal but I have signed Dragowski (however its spelt) from his current team in Italy. He was my fav keeper last year so massively excited to have him from Jan. Below is how I aim to line up. 

This season we must win the league!!

Thank you for reading...

Man that was a close league run, very unfortunate for you but awesome for the neutral football fan.

As for the business side of things.. you got a serious problem on your hands. Truth be told, Kluivert Jr is nowhere near his Father's level (yet) and the amount of goals he's producing is well below par. He's young and the injuries haven't helped but he needs to double his production next season.

One thing you could try is (what I've done in a similar situation) is play him in 2nd half only. Use him as a "supersub" when he's still fresh and the opposition tired. It makes up for his lack of quality in certain areas.

Enjoyable read. KIU!

Thats a very good idea! When would you recommend introducing him to the game 2nd half? Im in feb now so I can try it on going and see how he does. 

His stats look decent at the start of the season until an injury and they dont seem to recover! I have Intensive training on also. 

I sold Dolberg so im short up top atm something I am to address with either that young guy beginning with Z being promoted from reserves or a dip into the transfer market.

[BatiGoal]

Try straight from the start of the 2nd half. 45min should give him a fair amount of time over the entire season to prove his worth. Let's hope it ups his game.

We can only hope! At this rate I could get 3 titles and be ready to move but would need to sacrifice the lack of goals.

[Ashez]

Really enjoying this and the style you've gone for. 

The league looked tight, really unlucky mate. 

Player wise he's hardly setting the world alight but I like that, it's unique and watching your struggles to get him to the top is interesting. Everyone loves an underdog story and getting a player performing this poor to Barcalona and Champions League glory just adds to the fun and challenge. I'm genuinely surprised he's not world class tbh, I expected SI to throw the son of a legend a bone haha.

Lol you would think it would possibly be a bit too good this early on as its his first season on fmm...but hey ho

At least he isnt going backwards lol!

Season 3 Update

As we enter season 3 remember our aims - we must improve Kluivert and we must obtain the league to make it 2/3 leagues won. 

Lets get the show on the road! I enter season 3 excited, the passion for the save is back, the drive to succeed never truly left me! 

I posted a sneak preview of my transfers. Lets go!

Decided to make a move for this guy in jan. Used majorly last year and took the plunge. Offered £2m plus my backup keeper Oanna or something. Offer accepted, he joins in Jan ?.

Evidence of Results

Neres is quickly becoming a fans favourite and many major clubs are circling! 

Geraldes one of my favs from Sporting and here he is showing what hes about!

Did I even show up for this game!??

Another success to add to the CV!!!

The league was won but what a great race!!!

Kluivert End of Season

I am happy with how he did this year. We wont get 30 goals out of him but he become one of my fav players this year! 

Thanks for reading!

Now for Season 4!

[Mikee1984]

Hey mate been following your story closely and your doing great keep up the good work, it inspired me to start this myself and I can tell you young Patrick becomes very good here's how he looks sixth season in.

[mcandrew003]

Kluivert looks to be getting better every year. Good job mate!

What role are you playing him? Im trying to mould a striker...but playing as left or right ISF mostly. 

Im enjoying developing him into something special.

Thanks your your comments

Yeah I've got to say this save has gripped me as well im loving seeing him develop and he's really come on a lot, thanks to you for the idea. And mainly I've also played him as an ISF because his shooting isn't up to scratch to lead the line just yet, but he contributes greatly both assisting and scoring a good amount from the wings. Give him time and he will flourish mate,  can't wait for the next update.

@kylieboi88 3rd season was quite close. Congrats for Leauge title and dutch cup success.

I was wondering why you sold Hakim ziyech .. he's really good playmaker.

In case of kluivert i suggest you to shuffle his training regime. Put him on fitness , tactical, attacking .. this may help you in developing his Green patches .

Btw can you tell the training regime you have put him on .

Hey mate!

The training tactic I placed him on is one @BatiGoal commented. It was on an Intensive Training post I found. 

I sold him hakim guy as he didnt play and I played geraldes over him everytime. I also have a few APs as backup

[Niall C]

This save is interesting me as it's not a simple challenge to complete in a couple of seasons. Kluivert seems to be getting there. I think next season could be the one he breaks through.

[Ashez]

Talk about a tight title run! Congrats on claiming it mate. How's Europe going as they'll be a tough title to pick up then Barca will be calling :D. 

He's improving slowly, the fact his AVR is getting better is great to see, just have to hope the goals and assists see an increase soon. 

[BatiGoal]

Not yet the numbers we want to see but he's improving. He clearly needs time but I believe he'll get there. Awesome title run! KIU!
