Career Harvey Barnes goes for 1K

[nauczysz mnie grac]

I noticed that a change of manager in England was very slow.

Do you think that with the help of the team you will be able to reach the goal?

 

[Scratch]

Another solid season, making his way steadily and surely to 1K. Expecting him to break through 80 soon. 

But that Champions League group... 

Only another 5 seasons until Southgate gets the sack! Hang in there... 

[Ashez]

Decent season that Sam!

At this rate a little bit over 7 seasons left before the 1kc, don't know his age but seems doable! Kiu

A nice comment Yeah as RR said he's 25. I'd take 7 more seasons at this point. Still holding out for that attribute improvement :/

Very impressive season, Harvey is looking great, hope you can keep the numbers up. KIU

According to the update before Harvey is 25 so 7 is a good number

Cheers hoping to increase the numbers still but steady going at present.

I firmly believe 1k is still well within your reach.

Can you not get the tabloids to dig up some dirt on Southgate. There must be something who knows maybe he doesn't recycle or was once caught doing 32mph in a 30 zone.

Even if he murdered the FA chief executive's wife it probably still wouldn't be enough for him to get the sack...

Not a baaaaad season. Hardly a good one though

Also this Southgate thing is a complete shitshow. I feel like managerial jobs in general are super hard to come by. They just don't get the sack as often.

Agreed. Needs a revamp next year. And surprised you know what a good season is

I don't expect to get the England job tbh so relying all on club goals. Thanks for the comment

CL groups are like that every year but that one took the piss! Hoping he eventually gets sacked...

Decent but not good. Hoping for bigger numbers soon.

Yeah I wouldn't hold out for the England Job either going by this

Only 2035 and he retires after holding the England job all this time

That's absolutely ridiculous!

I hope you finally get it, flop a tournament and instantly get sacked

He's flopped most at every tournament so far :/

Update - Season 8

It's come to the point now where I've started to play it safe seeing as I've never completed this challenge and barring any disasters 60 goals a season will see Harvey stroll over the line. That being said he's playing less games and his fitness is being managed with a lot more focus as we don't want any stupid career threatening injuries.

Legia

... What an absolutely disastrous season club wise! We reverted to our usual first knockout round CL exit however what stands out is the failure to bag the treble for the 8th season running. Pogon became the first team to beat us in a domestic knockout tournament and over two legs as well. Spoiler contains less images this time because of this.

Just 2 trophies this season

Harvey Barnes

So I've informed you of my plan of managing him more carefully but that didn't stop him picking up his first WPOTY, of which I'm aware. 48 games played and as previously stated the aim was 60 goals and it will be every season from now especially with no international management looking possible.

Looks like the attributes are pretty much set now... Not much improvement

Reaches the target and to be honest never really looked like getting more. Although he got over 60 it still felt like a poor season. Looks like the game is laughing at my 1K tactics. Think I'm the first person in history to play mind games with FMM in a 1K challenge

Games played - 402

Goals scored - 523

Goals remaining - 477

Southgate update - Failed at Euro 2024 by coming 3rd in group not as one of the best runners up. Still in a job. Unbelievable!

[MerlionMaple96]

Sam: "His fitness is being managed"

Me: *glances at age, sees he's 26"

What in the world?? Let's take the man at the peak of his powers and manage his fitness?? LET HIM LOOSE I SAY!

 

[Taff]

Another decent season, he reached your target and I'm sure he'll get you over the line, and I understand managing him if all your 1K dreams are pegged on him

KIU

[FuddledFox]

Losing FA cup was real luck in the teeth but Barnes still got his goal target so not all bad. Hopefully he isn't fully at his peak and he might get to the 70 a season mark but as you say 60 a year should be enough.

[Scratch]

Another good season, steadily on track, but... I think you should push him a bit more and get some goals in the bank. He could still pick up a nine month injury even if he's playing less... Either way, great job and keep going! ?

[Ashez]

Is that it? I now understand your H2H with MM as you try and save face.

[samhardy]

Safe to say me playing it safe has not gone down well

Oh my  sam playing it safe other words for i can't get this lad firing?

Update - Season 9

Legia

Finally we end the curse of the European trophy. Not the one we wanted to win but to finally get one is nice after another crushing group of death. What also stands out however is the super cup defeat. Can't say I care about domestic team results any more in all honesty  As always, check the spoiler of delight below for some juicy screenshots.

Menendez still bringing out the big numbers!

Last season I received considerable abuse for starting to play it safe as I know 60 goals a season will be more then enough to get over the line. So you'll be delighted to know this season I took it one step further and took him off the pitch either when he got below 80% or had scored twice

Looks good to me but somehow I can't see this going down well :/

Attributes still show not much improvement. Weird that he hasn't got an international cap under Shitgate despite the fact he's banging in the goals season in season out!

Games played - 459

Goals scored - 588

Goals remaining - 412

Southgate update - No point.

[FuddledFox]

Congratulations on winning Europa league good to see persistence pay off. Champions league next year then?

[Taff]

I know you won't but don't worry about everyone else you get to the 1K then that's all that matters KIU

Stop encouraging him!

@samhardy Another terribly disappointing season, failure in the CL again, and another season of mediocrity for Harvey Barnes.

You're being nice to the lad that gave you a CC nightmare?

@samhardy WTF man, you only peak in H2H's and CC's? Not going to say KIU, cause you need to step it up

I'm being nice to him incase he takes charge of the next CC, forward planning 

But come on Sam step on the gas a little

If I had a single original thought In my head I would love too but, I am next to useless at coming up with challenges and stuff

I think someone like @danovic78 would be ideal as he has a great gift for coming up with challenge ideas

[Ashez]

Congrats on finally winning something in Europe! I know that was bothering you haha. I was the same on my TNS save as exiting Europe and basically having the league won can make the end of a season annoying to play. 

Goal wise slow and steady wins the race I suppose

Think your doing yourself down a bit there mate. A bunny dressed as a knight riding on a fire breathing dragon seems pretty original to me?
