Career Crouch/Carroll - Chelsea frontline

Recommended Posts

Hi Vibers, 

All the latest transfer speculation got me thinking of a one season challenge where I start as Chelsea and sign Peter Crouch and Andy Carroll.

The footballing world was shocked with the news stories and couldn't believe the current champions would sign any of these old fashioned target men. 

Crouch and Carroll will need to form a partnership which leads me to winning all trophies available. They will both be playing in the TM role in my formation, something I have never done before so the way I setup the rest of the team will be key to their success. 

Challenge Rules 

  • All strikers currently at the club must be sold 
  • I must always play a 2 upfront formation 
  • As I am signing two Englishman, I'm going to make a rule that any other signings I make must also be English 

Let's put it into action - stay tuned :D

At 36 years old his stats will be on a constant decline but hopefully after some training his stats can improve. 

Andy Carroll

Andy had always shown great potential and will relish a second opportunity at one of the big clubs. He is at his peak so expecting him to be the better performer of the two.

Should never have left Newcastle, style of football at the time suited him.

FORMATION & TEAM INSTRUCTIONS

Look how beautiful that is!!! Two TM's and no I'm not Pulis & Allardyce's love child. 

I opted for wingbacks rather than wingers or inside forwards as I wanted to limit the amount of goals scored by the rest of the team.

We will focus on early crosses into the box and working the ball into the box. This will hopefully see our strikers receive a better level of service.

AUGUST UPDATE

As you'll see we sold the only two strikers at the club Morata and Batshuayi.

We bring in Dele Alli and Demarai Gray to supply the assists for Crouch & Carroll.

RESULTS 

We have been very poor and are lucky to only have one defeat on our hands. I'm not familiar with playing 2 up top and especially not 2 TM and it's showing. 

Expect a lot of chopping and changing with my tactics until I get them spot on but remember I can't break the two TM rule no matter what. 

On a plus note we won the community shield and hopefully the first of many trophies. Carroll & Crouch both scoring.

Crouch has scored 2 goals in 4 games whilst Carroll has 2 goals in 2 games.

Carroll missed 2 games due to injury, hopefully he doesn't experience too many of those or my chances of scoring a high number of goals are as good as gone.

Hardly prolific so far but it's early days!

Sorry everyone due to Carroll's reoccurring injury problems I'm unable to continue with the save. I've tried having 3 physios with prevention, tried 2 prevention 1 rehabiliation and none of these options seem to work. 

Has anyone else used him in game and had the same problem? He plays 1 or 2 games then gets an injury, sometimes for days other times months! 

I'll be back again with a new career just a shame this one never worked out and has ended.
