[PriZe]

bye bye challenge????????

[Rob]

Superkick party!!!!

[Woody]

Excellent dude...i still have faith you will reach the 3k! ?

[Ashez]

Mbappe hit that and the others still smashed it

[Titjes]

Fantastic career so far mate  

[BatiGoal]

What a super season! Average of 70gls a piece? 

[Taff]

Sorry guys this career is still on, just taken a small break but will be back to it soon, just have some stuff to test for @PriZe then another season to finish in the VPL then I'll get back into this asap

No worries dude...we wait in anticipation!

[Scratch]

Wow... Just read the whole thing (I last checked it just before Season 1). You are doing absolutely awesome and I have no doubt you'll make it comfortably. Amazing to see the fluctuations in their scores from year to year. 

I was thinking about doing PinaColada 2 in FMM 2018 (though the first one didn't get far), but seems a bit unambitious now to only do a 2 x 1K career! ?

[Taff]

Do it would love to see that career revived

Maybe I should just continue the 2017 save and skip 2018 entirely!

[Taff]

could be a plan, you'r only what 9/10 months away from FMM19 so would it be worth it, I'm back and forth about buying Madden 18, but I think I might as well wait for September now and get 19 when released (can't remember the last time I bought a new game rather than a second hand one)

MRI

Season 13

Once again I want to apologise for the hefty delay in this career, but I am back and will blitz through another season as soon as this one is posted

Transfers

Spoiler

Brought in some new wingers to help out with Montes coming in as Dembele's replacement and Park (Son's regen) as a double sided winger and a backup striker.  Denayer came in as a midfield option and Asenjo as a backup GK to replace Silva who wanted out

Sold Silva to Chelsea and Mascherano left for United after rotting on the Bench, then Fritz out as he had no chance of playing, then the rest were unwanted graduates and my son Aaron went back out on loan

Competitions

Spoiler

Domestic

A cracking start to the season with 6 goals from my attacking trio in another Trophee des Champions game 

Isak and Rashford combine to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue

Toulouse get a hiding in the French cup Final with 4 players combining to smash 7 past them and clinch our third trophee of the season

We also win our 13th league title in some style, with my favourite stat being the GD of +130 and finishing 30 points clear of 2nd place

Europe

My three boys combine again to defeat West Ham in the Euro Supercup

I couldn't grab a screenshot of our UCL group stage table but we faced Man City, Fenerbahce and Levante and walked away top of the group with a 100% winning record and moved on through the knockout stages

Spoiler

We once again came up against West Ham in European competition and we once again sent them packing with a 4-1 agg score and we moved on to the quarter finals to face

Our old nemesis Monaco (who must be sick of losing to us by now), this time was no different with us walking away 8-4 winners after a great 2nd leg display

Back to England to face Chelsea in the Semi Finals, and a tough first game ended 1-1, but we were on form at Stamford Bridge and smashed 4 past them to move on to the UCL Final

Our opponents this year were Spanish and World Football giants Barcelona 

Who had no chance against MRI and we clinch the UCL title once again

CWC

Mbappe with another class display to clinch the CWC as you'd expect 

A very good season, but let's see how our three star men performed

Mbappe still looking uber impressive into his 30's

A month out saw his numbers take a hit, but he manages 61 for the season

Rashford stats beginning to decline slowly but still a world class striker

But he struggled for form this year and only nets 56 on the season

His stamina is down but this guy is just a lethal forward when released

And another consistent year from the man netting 63 the highest of the year (sadly) 

Not a great season all around, nice to see them all around the same area, but all three need over 200 goals (M - 212 R - 230 I - 285) and I don't think we have a snowball's chance in hell of finishing this, but worse case scenario it's a hell of a TT score

So there it is season 13 over and done with and I think this might only have 4 seasons left in it, so I'll get them done and ready to go asap (no more distractions)

Cheers for your patients and all the love you've given this crazy thread, I'll see you all soon

TAFF OUT!!!!

Awesome!

[Ashez]

Looking tight mate but I'll keep the faith for now! 

[GingerbreadPooches]

Absolutely incredible career mate am completely stunned and perplexed how you manage to get all three strikers hitting those kinda numbers season after season.

Congrats on another amazing season and despite your modesty I'm confident you can hit that magic 3k    KIU 

[Nucleus]

Cracking career so far Taff! It’s going to be close for the 3k!

Cheers guys, I think it depends on how this next season goes, but it's going to be down to the wire as long as no one suffers a career ending injury

[Rob]

Utterly nailing it.

[Woody]

I think you need about 185 a season if think you only have 4 seasons left.

You can do this @Taff i know it....i can feel it in my bones!!

 

[Titjes]

Another great season mate  Try and squeeze as much seasons as possible out of them

[Scratch]

Yeah, might be a little tight, but I'm pretty sure you will get over the line. They are all still going strong and should have enough left in the tank. 

[Cockers2505]

good luck with your final 4 seasons, this could be close 

[Taff]

MRI

Season 14

So here we are 14 seasons in to this mammouth save and ready to share another season with the boys with all my fellow vibers

Now we have a mountain to climb and time is not our friend but lets have a look at how this season went and then we can judge whether this is actually achievable

Transfers

Spoiler

I decided to change things up this season but also give me options to change tactics 

I brought in Basanta, Herbaunt, Brizuela, Cerny and Rabold as CB's with the view to change to wingbacks instead of wingers (they were stealing too many goals) Meak came in to sure up the CM position and Brock-Madsen same in as a back up CD

Just unwanted graduates leaving this year

 So let's take a look at how the season panned out

Competitions

Spoiler

Domestic

Great start to the season with a good win over Monaco with all three of my strikers netting the goals

Isak and Park combine to clinch the Coupe de la Ligue with a 3-0 win over EA Guingamp

And all three of my boys grab a goal a piece in the French Cup final

The league was a cake walk, shame about the 1 draw throwing out a perfect season, but never mind smashed an impressive amount of goals to keep me happy

European

We began this seasons European adventure with a solid win over Spurs in the Euro Supercup 

We breezed through a tough looking group, but won all 6 games

And on to the knockout rounds we go

Spoiler

Forgot to screenshot our journey through the rounds, but we made the final

And smashed it, 4 goals for Rashford and one for Isak helps seal a huge victory in the UCL Final

CWC

Mbappe netting 4 in an easy win over LA

 

Now let's have a look at how the boys got on this season

Mbappe still looking strong at 32

And a good season from him with 65 for the season 

Rashford's stats have taken a hit but he still looks decent enough at 33

And he matches Mbappe on 65 goals for the season, so a good showing from the now veteran players

Isak still looking like a peak physical specimen 

He comes in 8 shy of the other two on 57 for the season

So as you can see I've asked the Graphics master @FuddledFox to add a goals remaining tag so we can count down to hopefully the magic 0 goals remaining tag

Season Info

Here's the Awards, Fixtures and Team stats for the season

Spoiler

Fixtures

Team Stats

A better season for other players not stealing the goals, I began the season using the weird 3133 I used a few seasons ago but ended up with a 4213 which seemed to be getting better results the later half of the year

Season Awards

So there we have it another season down and another (small) step closer to the 3K (which I think is well beyond our reach now, but I'll keep it going)

See you all soon

TAFF OUT!!!!

[Nucleus]

Quality again mate! Keep the faith!

[Woody]

Keep going sunshine.....embrace that Welsh spirit.
