Career MRI - Taff needs his head examined A 3K Journey COMPLETE

[BatiGoal]

No changes, no swaps, no tweaks, no subs, no lil Taff experiments, no nothing, mate just keep doing exactly what you're doing

[Real_Random]

Just caught up and another 2 150+ goal seasons, fantastic work mate. KIU

[Taff]

Cheers for the comments guys if I’m honest I want to mess with the tactic to get all three scoring in their positions instead of having to swap them around each game, but then I think don’t mess until it stops producing

Agree with @BatiGoal and @PriZe your doing great don't rock the boat.

[Ashez]

Keeping this steady mate! Resist any temptation to fiddle! From my experience with front threes it always favours certain positions so the rotation policy is needed and imo it always will be. I had the same issue in my TT challenges, from memory the one on the right struggled for me in all of them, I think in all mine but the 3k the right sided striker had the lowest total of the three. 

[Nucleus]

This is brilliant KIU Taff

[Cockers2505]

Wow @Taff tremendous results, this should be a walk in the park with these numbers

[Taff]

Cheers guys I will not mess with anything until I really have too

Let's see how season 8 goes and go on from there

[GrtepZ]

Really nice 'til now ! 

Assist wise, are the they responsible for the most ?

They do get the lions share of assists but playing three at the top, one an IF and one an ADF they will pass more than shoot so that's why I move them all around, some games the Pcr is shocking and the others will step up, then other games the PCR will bang 5 in a game so swings and roundabouts

MRI

Season 8

I'm back again guys to bring you another update on my (insanely stupid challenge)

So last season was immense but could the guys keep it up this year

Transfers

Spoiler

Just a few gap fillers this year, El Foui.... came in to be DDG's replacement (eventually) and Ehlers came in as a DLP backup, Tah, Embolo and Rashica were all backup players

Havertz, Bazoer and Onana all wanted game time I couldn't give them so they all went the way of the dodo, then just some out of contract and graduate players left for free

So we made some changes to the squad but as per the request of half the guys in Vibe, I kept to the same tactic, so will it continue to produce results

Competitions

Spoiler

Domestic

The season kicks off with a barnstormer of a game which was looking like going to ET, but Rashford knicks it with a 92nd minute winner, and PSG retain the Trophee des Champions

Coupe de la Ligue final isn't anywhere near as close as braces from Isak and Neymar seal a good win over Nice

Another fantastic season, but we couldn't repeat the perfect season drawing one game, but still banged in 145 goals and left Monaco 30 points behind us

And all the boys get in on the party in the French Cup final beating Bordeaux 5-1 and giving us yet another clean sweep (which is surprising as the French Cup 11th round always comes around when 90% of my squad is out on INT duties and I'm left with a team of greyed out players and maybe 4/5 starters)

Europe

Another strong performance from the team as we take the Euro Supercup thanks to a 5-2 win over Zenit

We seem to be slipping as we draw one game in our UCL group, but it's not enough to really worry us as we move on once again through the knockout stages

Spoiler

The first leg was a tight 3-2 win, but the game back at "Aldi's Carpark" was much more convincing and we send the Germans home after an 8-4 agg win

We come up against old rivals Monaco in the Quarter Finals, but a 6-2 score over 2 games means we move on to the semi finals and leave the Monaco faithful in tears once again

We come up against our fellow group H competitors, who hold us to a 2-2 draw away, but the damage had already been done with a 6-1 win in the first leg, and it's on to the finals we go 

Juventus can't handle the power and a brace from Rashford and one from Isak (all in the first half) is all it takes to claim our 8th UCL Title

CWC

Really thought we'd be getting more goals in these CWC finals, but it's another trophy for the case

So another clean sweep season, winning all competitions, but that's not why you're here, lets see how the guys got on this year

Mbappe breaks the 70 goal mark for the second season in a row

Another 60 goal season from Rashford, he starts and ends the seasons so well, but seems to struggle in the middle of the year

Isak going one better than last year, but neither him nor Rashford can catch Mbappe at the moment 

All three now over the 400 mark, but I'm really doubting the possibility of getting them anywhere near the 1K, but I'll keep going till they drop

Season Info

Player Stats

Isak (playing primarily as the ADF) was king of the assist with almost double the assists of the next best player

Cheers dude, I've got season 9 all finished, but can't get it updated just yet, might be tomorrow and I'm halfway through season 10, so might get a double whammy tomorrow

[Cockers2505]

Its weird to see them constantly scoring more or less the same each season, obviously getting a little better at times, amazing results mate, keep up the good work, this has your name in lights all the way

Flying trough your season?  Can't wait, a double whammy will be fun to read  

[samhardy]

Rashford has absolutely no chance unless he has a couple of massive seasons coming up. 27 now meaning he'll have roughly 6/7 more seasons before his decline starts in FMM terms and with 554 goals still needed for him it doesn't look good

Results are great all round though so keep going. Though I wouldn't be so quick to rule out a Taff experiment

[JohnyBravo]

Great results, but as Sam pointed, Rashord migth struggle to reach 1k. Is he on penalty/freekick duty?

[Rob]

Keep plodding on. I love this thread.

Yeah to be honest I don't think any of them will make the 1K but happy to see how close we could get

No but will look into it, have them swapped around each season to give them all a go

[Kingsolop]

Ding dong @Taff. At this rate, you might just break the 3k yet. 

 

[BatiGoal]

Those are some great totals. Solid number if it was for a single striker but x3 makes it quality work! As you said, keep hacking away and worry about numbers later

[Woody]

YOU CAN DOOOO IIIITTTT!!!!

I'm throwing all my positivity your way as i'll be wasting it thinking Newcastle will sign anyone by 11pm tomorrow! 

[Real_Random]

Fantastic season mate, just keep scoring who knows maybe Rashford will go insane and start scoring. KIU

[Paul186]

Good work Taff, but the 3k looks tough as they are each stop the other from having monster seasons.

[GrtepZ]

Do not listen to bad omens, for sure it'll do 

[Cockers2505]

Mate you've got this, don't listen to the those who doubt, just keep giving them their pasta and oats, and they will keep grinding out the goals for you 

[Taff]

MRI

Season 9

So another good season last year but the boys are creeping up on 30 now, so need some big numbers for the next 4/5 seasons to stand any chance of making the 3K, so we set off once again with season 9 of the MRI

Transfers

Spoiler

Only two player in this year, Visser came in to help out Pogba and Alli in the AP role (Pogba is starting to decline a bit), and Mascherano (who doesn't show up in the Transfers for some reason) comes in as my new #1 backup striker

Plenty of outgoings with offers coming in for players who weren't getting the game time (shame about Fosu-Mensa but he just didn't get much play time and £71M is a lot to turn down)

So a quick reshuffle and we set off to conquer the world 

Competitions

Spoiler

Domestic

We begin with a great win over (yes them again) Moncao thanks to a hat-trick from both Isak and Rashford

The Coupe de la Ligue is a much tighter game, with Isak banging the winner in the 95th minute after they pulled it back in the 92nd

Not our best season in the league after drawing 3 and losing 1, but still way ahead of the rest so our 9th consecutive league title and I shouldn't really complain

And for the 3rd time this season Monaco go home without a trophy thanks to an early strike from Martial and a brace from my little Argentinian striker Mascherano (both Isak and Rashford were out injured and Mbappe needed resting)

Europe

We take on fellow French club OM in the Euro Supercup final, which got taken to ET after a 92nd minute equaliser, but goals from Rashford and Pavon in ET means PSG walk away with the trophy once again 

Back on form as we blitz the group stages winning all 6 games and banging in 27 goals in the process, then into the knockout stages we went

Spoiler

Up first Olympiakos, who suffer a 2-0 loss at home before conceding 3 in Paris and the Greek side are sent packing

We come up against OM once again on our journey through Europe and this meeting didn't go any better for them, after a tight 2-1 win in the first leg we pulled out all the stops at home to secure a 8-2 agg score and move into the semi finals

Once again a tight 2-0 win away helps set up a great 4-1 win at home (thanks to a Mbappe hat trick) to secure our place in the Finals 6-1 on agg 

A great game against one of the worlds biggest clubs and they never stood a chance, Rashford, Alli and Mbappe all on point as we claim our 9th UCL title

CWC

We should be destroying these teams, but at least all three strikers got on the score board

Another flawless season, but how did my three lads do

Well all of them missed roughly a month each, with Mbappe's coming early on in the season and Isak and Rashford both missing the last month of the season, but did these bouts of injury affect their numbers

A huge drop in numbers from our #1 striker not even breaking the 60 mark let alone the 70

again a 10 goal drop in numbers from Rashford and this doesn't look good

OK so Isak played slightly better managing to break the 60 goal mark, but this is one of our worst seasons in a while and I'm hoping this isn't the beginning of the end

They do (just) break the 1500 mark, so if nothing else I completed a TT challenge, but that's not what we're aiming for, we want 1000 a piece and only 2 of them a roughly halfway after 9 full seasons

So a slightly disappointing season, on the 1 hand we broke the 1500 needed for a normal TT, but the boys numbers were pretty bad this year, so next year I'll look at changing up the tactic to try and get the guys back on track

Anyway thanks as always for all the comments and all the belief that this will happen, and I will try my hardest not to let you down, until next time 

TAFF OUT!!!!!

[Rob]

I’m surprised Rashford ain’t banging in more considering his godlike status in the game. You seem to be limited to 150 or so per season across the three of them.

Still, it’s a great career so far. It’ll be interesting to see how much they do all end up getting if you don’t manage to make it.
