Thanks. Despite injuries to my Axis team I'm getting a decent score in :)

WORLD WAR VIBE

TAFF TAKES THE AXIS TO GLORY

Hello Vibers and sorry for the delay, but as the lowest scorer in the semi finals it's my job to go first here

So a reminder that the two games now being played are the 3rd/4th place game between myself and @samhardy, then once both of us have shown our scores we will see how our two finalists got on, with @FuddledFox going first and then the #1 ranked manager @BatiGoal to finish off and see who will win this mini H2H as #1

So back to me

I was given the Axis powers to use as Sam chose to use the Allies, so I needed a German, Italian and Japanese striker to combine and score as many goals as possible over a season while using the mighty....

                                                                                          5a3a1c1b39788_download(8).png.d2f82a7307a873bcfeb0aed9f5b6cb99.png

                                                                                                        Atletico Madrid

IMG_6564.thumb.PNG.52fb0ec0a9eb4cc573298d6580edb1e7.PNG

So Herr Schnitzel has taken the reigns at A. Madrid and is now on the look out for his three strikers...

5a3a1c196da95_download(2).png.f534dd5568f7faf799f9cb2f24d65167.png From Germany comes...IMG_6565.thumb.PNG.1b6beaf4cb6646760b2e0fd99ceda134.PNG

5a3a1c1aa1680_download(3).png.ba502958978337d0d3b02492b200b9fe.png     From Italy comes...      IMG_6568.thumb.PNG.8b50cc496fc6da522710d5f38c68fe8e.PNG

5a3a1c1ae0eb3_download(4).png.41e9a6683e68cd102864d2732d227052.png    From Japan comes...       IMG_6566.thumb.PNG.d4709fe76046308143ef50c36c3d5e0d.PNG

So there are my three chosen strikers Werner the young speedy striker bought from RBL and he is a player I have loved for a few years now.  Petagna a great young TM who I found last year during another challenge and finally Muto from Mainz who has proven a great threat up front

So I have my three strikers, but the team needed a bit of a shake up to fit my tactic, so here's the transfers in and out

Spoiler

In

IMG_6598.thumb.PNG.520ca852d85202d224c7114aa1c7c4e5.PNGIMG_6599.thumb.PNG.d95c4b8c645d08eef3f4946cffa3aeb0.PNG

So plenty of players coming in with my three new strikers i also grabbed Strootman to play along side Koke in the midfield, Horta as Koke's backup AP, Rugani to help boss the CD, Arnautovic, Hahn and Santos as Winger options and Berge and Jesus as backup players

Out

IMG_6600.thumb.PNG.41651a807bbc1962b59ae5fd8e9995e3.PNGIMG_6601.thumb.PNG.96c0b2782ef61c680832a5de51b49c00.PNG

Obviously sad to see Griezmann leave, but as a Frenchman he had to go, then I sold all my other forwards to raise some capital, then offers came in for certain players so they left, Saul played until January and then wanted out so I sold him and brought in Strootman as a direct replacement.

So the squad is sorted and now it's onto the challenge to score as many goals across the season with my three Axis strikers

and things started pretty well

Spoiler

IMG_6569.thumb.PNG.5d10d993f565f9ad55026ab56e531196.PNGIMG_6576.thumb.PNG.79fcd35ee43dfd4ac31276c9e2c31225.PNG

13-3 winners over our two biggest rivals (who both beat me in the return fixtures, but still huge games for my three strikers 

We then ploughed on through the season kicking ass and taking names

Spoiler

IMG_6585.thumb.PNG.3b46a28458f0ac73d9ed12811628610a.PNGIMG_6614.thumb.PNG.0cf33355bdc567ecf64d57a876d72af6.PNG

We managed a repeat score line vs Barcelona in the Spanish Cup final

IMG_6587.thumb.PNG.73760af69c9d9bc7226d602153d533ad.PNG

We won the league, netting some impressive numbers along the way (the draws almost did me in)

IMG_6610.thumb.PNG.147dbdcdc34faafad36a04615a5346fe.PNGIMG_6611.thumb.PNG.cd4e79d880d5ec69fb801cf19e1b05f8.PNGIMG_6612.thumb.PNG.1b34d8b3182fff7df25b4e8272635f86.PNGIMG_6613.thumb.PNG.9ca34b50a5a85acd4828ff2b52e96043.PNGIMG_6589.thumb.PNG.104bd2d2b22b5d61c635432fba1108fc.PNG5a3a223f3c3f5_IMG_66211.thumb.PNG.bc24d94e7a323d59be569f33d7213f8d.PNG

So a huge season winning the League, Spanish and Champions Cup's but the biggest question is how did my three Axis Strikers do

IMG_6590.thumb.PNG.e8269fc3d1b1abd880da0059a7d09a99.PNGIMG_6591.thumb.PNG.4d3f6c6fafcd85d571d8db62e6cdb291.PNG

Wener was the stand out striker netting 52 goals in 56 games and my love for this guy continues to grow 

IMG_6592.thumb.PNG.f58a17f46fb625ccdee4ba9fb4de16a6.PNGIMG_6593.thumb.PNG.d372748b8e2eafc9bc91088f5c331fab.PNG

Petagna playing as my TM also has a great season netting 44 goals, 8 shy of Werner, but he was quiet then pop up and bang 4 in a game so a great TM choice if you need one

IMG_6594.thumb.PNG.4389d40d8e59ed596d94337031d05ef1.PNGIMG_6595.thumb.PNG.d8f29a2b93b2ed595949038e1738d85c.PNG

And Muto runs in at the back of the pack, again had quiet spells then show up and bang in the odd hat-trick but comes in under 40 goals at 37

So there it is my Axis Powers come in with a very (or hopefully) decent result

Werner 52 - Petagna 44 - Muto 37

Total 133

So all I can do now is wait and hope Sam's Allies have a nightmare campaign, but Sam being Sam will bang 300 out of them or he'd shoot them himself

Here's the rest of the season info for anyone who would like to see it

So a mixed bag but mostly green results and plenty of goals

My biggest surprise was two of my forward getting 37 assists between them (be more selfish dammit)

Awards (Inc Team of the Year)

IMG_6615.thumb.PNG.714941080c8dc36b142c7a0d5777402c.PNG

I managed to grab 5/9 of the MOTM awards

IMG_6616.thumb.PNG.f18654ff06ec277aa7f34178177c198e.PNG

With Werner grabbing 2 POTM and Petagna grabbing 1 himself

Werner was named best player in Europe and Spanish POTY

IMG_6619.thumb.PNG.8f9fb98e1c400b1b18f07baa7f678c5a.PNG

And I nabbed the MOTY award for good measure

IMG_6620.thumb.PNG.ae5aceef1b9a134700f46646739aa391.PNG

Werner and Petagna also make the Team of the Year as well

So there it is and there's nothing to do now but wait for @samhardy to get his results up

So prey for me Herr Schnitzel OUT!!!!!!

That's a really nice score Taff, great job (y) we've faced off twice in the CC and I'm glad I managed to avoid you this time ;)

There's a reason he's writing all those guides. Age has finally caught up so he's decided to pass on the baton.

World War Vibe - 3rd/4th Place Playoff - Sam

Change of plan! Managed to smash out the rest of the season this morning and have time now to update so here we go! @Taff managed a respectable 133 so let's see how I got on and who my chosen strikers from England, France and America were.

We'll start with the obvious...

France - Antoine Griezmann

Screenshot_2017-12-20-15-30-28.thumb.png.a0daf3eaba0a35b19b55441764b9f941.png

Already at the club and one of the best players in the world so I'd have been stupid not to take the opportunity to use him in this challenge.

Now onto the American... Again a fairly safe choice seen as it's only a one season challenge - Clint Dempsey

Screenshot_2017-12-20-15-30-42.thumb.png.5c1082484c428048fd73baab8dd3abe5.png

Should be able to do the job :) The focus won't be on him as much as I'll be relying on the other two strikers more.

And finally...

England - Troy Deeney

Screenshot_2017-12-20-15-30-36.thumb.png.74ca41c5aca97531e37682d1a8698290.png

A bit of an "out there" selection but I wanted to experiment with the target man after having so much success with Benteke in the Juve challenge. Kane was too expensive and Deeney's stats look excellent for a cheap-ish target man.

Screenshot_2017-12-20-15-30-51.thumb.png.af223886bb4b5e4711033e1cc871b2cf.png

I also bought Gray and Dembele to boost the squad.

The Team - Treble Winners

Can't ask for much more than that :)

First half of the season - Unstoppable

Screenshot_2017-12-20-23-06-13.thumb.png.25fc328ab785e42ef48c88e3a48a6671.png

Screenshot_2017-12-20-23-06-20.thumb.png.ca3c1aced911b8d7192912599f88a72d.png

Griezmann also chipped in with 21 goals meaning we'd smashed it the first half of the season... Then all of a sudden...

BAM

Screenshot_2017-12-20-22-51-24.thumb.png.9fd9bb5bd06a9f857aed340cc9c2ba1f.png

Both players injured on the same day with Dempsey out for the rest of the season. But it got worse, Deeney broke his leg on the first game back meaning neither of them added any more goals! Disaster!

At the stage of this disaster - Early January

Antoine Griezmann - 21

Troy Deeney - 51

Clint Dempsey - 25

Total = 97

A re-think was needed at this point so I made Griezmann a lone striker as a poacher. He needed 37 goals individually in the second half of the season to claim me the bronze medal, that would take him to 58 in total.

Did he do it? Remember 58 is the magic number...

Spoiler

Screenshot_2017-12-21-15-05-40.thumb.png.3bc608d080cd3d5f41941bd027053abb.png

Yes!! What a second half of the season from Griezmann as he takes us over the line and condemns Taff to the dreaded wooden spoon. What a quality 3rd/4th place playoff in the end!

Result - samhardy 143-133 Taff

Great bit of improvization @samhardy goes to show that every challenge presents new challenges in multiple forms. Without doubt it was your experience that pulled you through. Congrats on the win!

Congrats Sam you out managed me and with two fairly odd choices in Deeny and Dempsey, so I'll take 4th spot after a great display from yourself, now I'm off to delete the app and wander the world a nobody. :'(

Oh and @PriZe you might want to check out my predictions 1/3 so far

H2H Super Series Final: FuddledFox

Somehow I have found myself in my first Vibe final and I have also found myself pitted against one of the Vibe leg-ends sorry typo I mean legends in the shape of the mighty @BatiGoal.

I took the side of the allies in this challenge and had to pick one French, English and American striker and try to score as many goals as I can with them. We have already seen @Taff score 133 with his trio and @samhardy 144 but that was only for bronze so.

Image result for shoulder shrug gif

So who are the lads I put my faith in.

Sebastian Haller

image.png.33d530dd529a01b29bd8bd9ca2d0b97f.png

Why not Griezmann I hear you cry! Well I was offered £79m for him and decided to take the money and invest it into the squad as a whole. Time will tell if that was a good decision or not as we saw how well Griezmann did for Sam as he almost single handily secure him 3rd place in the competition. I used Haller in the semi final and he scored well for me even though he was more of a backup in that save. He joined us for £23m from Frankfurt.

image.png.66757d9dcc45dc5c238b21b2d6cdfeae.png 

    

Tammy Abraham

image.png.deff6a114fc83fe7346917bcdbcaf3de.png

The love hate relationship I have with Tammy continues as I picked him as my English choice. Their isn’t a huge amount of English strikers to go for and I wasn’t going to be able to afford Kane or Rashford so after his good performance for me in the semi finals at Juventus I decided to put my faith in him again.

image.png.9551831a80f5eeed9d6ba73d24522064.png

It was an unusual deal to bring him to the club as I swapped Diego Costa + £20m to bring him in. Not a great deal for Atletico but Costa was never going to play and I saved myself around £18m on Tammy to use else where. I had previously tried to sell Costa but no one showed any interest. I’m sure he was ecstatic to be moving back to west London! Luckily Costa and Conte had a little cuddled and made up!

Bobby Wood

image.png.0feb244c2b37ab9794110b27e1e52c14.png

Bobby was a real no brainer for me to pick as my American striker. He is a player I have wanted to use since I got FMM18 and now I had the chance to use him. America doesn’t have an abundance of attacking options and it was him Pulisic or Freddy Adu! Bobby joined the club for £15m from Hamburg.

image.png.116dfd661a4664200f09c71760795556.png 

 

Other Transfers

image.png.c1a98dba3fc6d3291f7a5ca78cc61f69.pngimage.png.9b7d563f4d7dd2b4cca78d184733e37a.png 

La Liga

image.png.51ac19d0dde606136f3f53a411062eee.png 

Hmmm I have had better seasons. We went out and attacked in every game and paid the price with 10 draws which cost us any chance of winning the league. We where the top scorers in the league though with 99 goals and scoring goals is what this final is all about.

Spanish Cup

As Prize rightly said in his guide to the DT challenge you need to win as many games in cups as you can to maximise the amount of games you have. We had to fight back against Sevilla in the semi finals after losing the first leg.

image.png.adeca566e275ec840009d5b9b9674195.png 

image.png.d720e60e7fa42c655027c419dcd0fad5.png 

Which we did and set up a final against Barcelona. In a ding dong battle we ran out 3-2 winners to lift the cup.image.png.aa2fe1c70f13a9650835191159d6d579.png 

 

Champions League

It was pretty straight forward in the group except for an away lose to Chelsea.

image.png.18566c6515d151f06d5ec0c429e02438.png 

 This set up a tough first knockout round tie against Manchester City. We travelled to the Etihad first and suffered a 1-0 defeat. To be honest I was more annoyed we didn’t score.image.png.07c825971fc05f020d054e71938e445f.png 

 

 

Things were looking bleak when we went 1-0 down and 2-0 down on aggregate early in the 2nd leg. We kept fighting though and an 89th minute winner from Bobby Wood sent us through.

image.png.955ed1531f3d10a7fcc15db22705cf1d.png 

We had Sevilla in the quarter finals and I expected us to beat them just as we did in the cup. We got 3 valuable away goals in the first leg as we won 3-2.

image.png.c1a881d83c1011cc091b2268b6bed32a.png 

Um…. Well…. Uh…. I don’t really have any words to explain this except perhaps RAGE!!!!

image.png.7e65b565c7dc32ae7d5b03413001ccaf.png

Just the one trophy then and more annoyingly we missed out on an extra three games by being knocked out of the Champions League.

image.png.c01febcda0ff654e4341a5cfe3ad3c38.png 

 

The big thing with this challenge though is lots and lots of goals but also making sure that it’s the strikers that are scoring them. I was lucky with injuries and except for the odd knock here and there the three guys stayed injury free for the season.

Stats

The most important one first with the goals.

image.png.3c3d6ff9673bd88318e8abd18424f856.png

 

 

Tammy Abraham: 46

Sebastian Haller: 40

Bobby Wood: 37

Total: 123

I was fairly happy with how the tactic worked as the rest of the team didn’t steal too many goals from my strikers but I certainly would have liked more goals in total.

Other Stats

Spoiler

image.png.600bbb94b9c87a207112ea0a5f443322.png

 

So I was only 2 goals short of the psychic rabbit Taff's prediction of 125 goals and well short of both his and Sam’s totals in the 3rd/4th playoff. The important thing is how many goals did Bati's mob get and is 123 goals enough to beat him. I personally doubt it.

So let’s hear your predictions as to how many goals Bati will beat me by.

Thank you for reading.
