Career Bottoms up Vibe!

[kts365]

This challenge caught my eye and i had to do it immediately. Basically you play as the team who were promoted via playoffs in a few top leagues then tot up your league points. Thanks to @veerus for creating this.

Season 1

For my first season I decided to go with what i know best and stuck with the Barclays Premier League amd the playoff winners, Huddersfield town.

Whilst the squad was not the best I was pleasantly surprised by the quality in attacking midfield/wing players. I also didnt make a signing at all as I was so pleased with the team.

So how did the team perform? Well, it turns out they were quite the giant killers.

Spoiler

The team did very well.

But how did they do in the league?

5th with 67 points! Not bad at all.

Spoiler

Season 1 - 67 points

This is a very interesting challenge. Really like it. Great first season getting them all the way up to 5th. Will be tough to top that in season 2. Goodluck!

With that in mind........

Season 1 Again (Getafe)

So here we go again. The playoff winners this time are Getafe in spain. Again I made no transfers at all.

Did they prove to be giant killers in the same way Huddersfield did?

Spoiler

It would certainly seem so

The team were once again impressive.

So how many points could we muster in Spain?

68 points and 4th this time! Pushing Madrid and Barca close for 2nd or 3rd spot too.

Spoiler

Proof

Season 1  (England) - 67 points

Season 1 (Spain) - 68 points

Thanks guys. I seem to have found a tactic that puts the underdog ahead. Like i said, keegans entertainers style. Just. Score. More.

Season 1 A Third Time (Troyes)

So here we go again. The playoff winners this time are Troyes in France. Again I made no transfers at all as I now have decided to go with that theme.

So lets see some of the better results of the year.

Spoiler

 

Lets see individual stats.

The most impressive thing here is that Benjamin Nivet is 41 years old.

So how many points did France get us?

A few less with 60 points this time

Spoiler

Season 1  (England) - 67 points

Season 1 (Spain) - 68 points

Season 1 (France) - 60 points

[BatiGoal]

I thought Ligue 1 would be a little easier to play in compared with Spain and England. I guess Troyes must have a terrible squad then.

The squad is not good. I was stifled by injuries and my refusal to buy any players

Season 1, the Final Chapter (Benevento)

After 3 decent seasons in England, Spain and France we finish up this challenge in the home of catenaccio (curiously defensive football) we will attempt to bring the entertainers out of Benevento. Once again, zero signings.

So , did we get any big giant killing results this year?

Spoiler

Close but we dominated the game

Once again, the team impressed.

Armenteros in particular with decent goal and assist tallies and an 8.05 rating.

Did this translate to a good league finish though?

Not bad at all!

I had expected this to be the toughest league and so it proved.

Spoiler

Season 1  (England) - 67 points

Season 1 (Spain) - 68 points

Season 1 (France) - 60 points

Season 1 (Italy) - 59 points

Total - 254 Points

Sorry to necro the thread but I've been away for most of the year.  You must be some kind of a mad wizard, holy crap.  Well done.

Welcome back!! Was wondering where you were. 😄

Also great job @kts365! I was away myself when you did this, so I missed it the first time around.
