Thanks @BatiGoal

Season One

Transfers

I bought Fekir in August and sold him in July because I discovered that the Tries First Time Shots attribute which he possessed, made him tend to shoot more often despite him playing as an Advanced Playmaker.

Mr Bomber

Emmanuel fit into the team like a glove (though as usual few injuries reared up their ugly head).

Noteworthy : A one sided friendship 

 

Objectives 

• 1/4 League Titles 
• 1/4 German Cups
• 1/3 Champions League 
• 0/1 Fifa CWC
• 32/398 Club Goals 
• 0/7 Top Scorer Bundelisga Awards

[Titjes]

good start & good luck with the challenge 

I'm doing this one to at the moment, will be posting about it later 

[danovic78]

Good start, shame about the injuries restricting his appearances.

[Kingsolop]

@Titjes Thanks. I hope you don't beat my scores though 

[Kingsolop]

Thanks @danovic78. Well I'll make do with whatever the game throws at me

Season 2

Transfers

 

Review

Der Bomber

This was a better season though it seems Emmanuel has reached his peak already. I've also noticed that it's proving quite elusive to score 40 goals a season due to the number of games in the Bundesliga. Hopefully I break that record soon.

Objectives

• 2/4 League Titles
• 2/4 German Cups
• 2/3 Champions League
• 1/1 Fifa Club World Cup
• 1/7 Top Scorer Awards
• 75/398 Club goals
• ❌ 40 League goals a season

Season 3

Transfers

Got a huge profit off James Rodriguez. Sold off Hummels and Boateng because...well I wanted to.

Objectives

• 3/4 German Cups
• 3/4 League Titles 
• 3/3 Champions League 
• 2/3 Club World Cups
• 2/7 Top Scorer Awards 
• 124/398 Club Goals
• ❌ 40 League Goals per season 

The 40+ League Goals per season is proving to be a pain in the behind. Though I do hope I get it behind me soon enough.

Great work so far. And so close to that 40 goal target!

I'm currently working my way through this challenge and that last one is proving to be the hardest thing. Next year, you've got it I'm sure!

[BatiGoal]

Next season will be the one  KIU! Doing great! 

[Kingsolop]

 @Gav77 Yeah, I was so close I could taste it. Alas, it's not my time yet. Thanks and I hope you do well in the challenge too (though not well enough to beat whatever score I have)

@BatiGoal I hope so. Cheers.

Season 4

Transfers

Had to sell Fabian Benko. The team was quite pissed at him, though for the life of me I couldn't find out why.

Review

Lost the semifinals of the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE to Juventus, who went ahead to claim the title.

• 4/4 League Titles
• 3/3 Champions League
• 3/3 Club World Cups
• 3/7 Top Scorer Awards

Great work getting the 40. Definitely the hard part out of the way!

Keep up the good work.

[Kingsolop]

@Gav77 thanks

Sad news 

I just came back from classes today, to find out a friend overwrote my save file. Tried loading one of  the automatic saves, only to discover that it has been overwritten too. 

So, this thread showing my promising attempt at this challenge has been prematurely ended. 

I'll do this challenge again someday. But for now, I've somewhat lost interest in Fmm (due to the unproductive hours I put into this challenge, only to see it crash and burn).

A wise man once said

"Nothing hurts more than a lost/overwritten FMM Save".

[Nucleus]

Shame that mate, I’ve had it happen twice this year ? its devastating, especially when you have a good save going on

[Gav77]

That sucks man. It's so demoralising when that happens and you can't quite bring yourself to start all over again.
