Born in Nördlingen, Germany, Müller began his football career at the TSV 1861 Nördlingen. He went on to score 51 goals in just 31 appearances, Müller then joined FC Bayern Munich in 1964 where he teamed up with future stars Franz Beckenbauer and Sepp Maier. The club, which would go on to become the most successful German club in history was then still in the Regionalliga Süd (Regional League South), which was one level below the Bundesliga at the time. After one season, Bayern Munich advanced to the Bundesliga and started a long string of successes. With his club, Müller amassed titles during the 60s and 70s: He won the German Championship four times, the DFB-Pokal four times, the European Champions' Cup three times, the Intercontinental Cup once, and the European Cup Winners' Cup once.

A supremely opportunistic goal-scorer, he also became German top scorer seven times and European top scorer twice. Müller scored 365 goals in 427 Bundesliga matches for Bayern Munich, almost 100 goals more than the second most successful Bundesliga scorer, Klaus Fischer. He holds the single-season Bundesliga record with 40 goals in season 1971–72, a record that is particularly impressive because unlike other top-flight national leagues, the Bundesliga only has 18 teams and therefore only 34 games per season. Müller averaged a goal per game or better in seven of his 14 seasons. He scored 68 goals in 62 German international games. He held the record for most goals scored in a calendar year, striking 85 goals in 1972, until his total was surpassed 40 years later by Lionel Messi.


Challenge Rules:

  • Load up Germany and any other countries and take charge of any Bundesliga side (Bayern Munich if you want to make it authentic)
  • You must sign a German striker from any league below the Bundesliga.
  • You have a maximum of Fourteen seasons in which to replicate Müller's achievements.
  • You must win at least 4 League Titles, 4 German Cups, 3 Champions League, 1 FIFA World Club Cup, Top Bundesliga Scorer in at least 7 seasons, beat his record of 398 club goals and beat the tally of 40 League goals in one season.
  • Own formations only
  • No unlockables, edited databases, or use of any of the editors.
  • Evidence is required, I'd suggest posting a career thread for us to follow.

                                     The Player

My first port of call was trying to find a player that I believe could complete this challenge and after hours of searching I finally settled for 20 Year Old Cedric Teuchert.

I played £12m in the end, a little more than I was expecting, which was caused by Werder Bremen pushing the price up in a bidding war! I will report back at the end of Season One.
