Career Man City Go Strikerless

[Snip]

So first time challenge post!

Been playing the game for years but haven’t done any of the official challenges on here. Went with the strikerless challenge as it seemed to be a nice quick one, where you can share the love between a few players and every goal, assist and point is celebrated.

The team I chose was Man City, and the players are

Pogba 

Sane

Bernado Silva

It was a toss up between him and KDB but I prefer KDB in central midfield so went with Silva. Went with an overload attacking style and l had one of my best seasons in the premier league on this years version. Won the treble only missing out on the the FA cup.

when this formation clicks its absolutely awesome, with performances like this a regular occurrence 

 

I just had a really bad spell around January when the fixture list piled up and I didn’t rest the key men enough. By the end of the season I was subbing them all off by 70 odd mins and this meant they could play most games and perform well. I think the English league is a tough one for this challenge. You need a big squad which I didn’t really have.

Pogbas results 

Sane

Silva

So 38 for Silva, 40 for Sane and 48 for Pog + 101 points and 64 goal difference takes my total to 291 which I’m happy with.

 

cheers for the challenge Fox!

Oh I forgot to mention, I had 6 assists from my 2 goalkeepers which for me is completely unheard of! Anyone else seen that many in one season?

How much did Pogba cost? Looks like he was worth every penny

Good score mate was this EME or OME? Either way its great to put a yellow on the board. This yellow needs to find time to do this challenge as well.

Great score mate. I’d change the tag from “challenge” to “career” though

[Snip]

This was EME.

Pogba was a lot, but I couldn’t get anyone to buy Aguero so included him in the pogba deal. Should have bought a few more players really as had to do a few loan signings in Jan to see me through.

You're on the board

Very nice score there mate! Congrats on the first challenge

Great score mate. Totally agree on the squad size and resting players. 

[JohnyBravo]

Making Pogba move to City was a challenge in itself, great score.

[Titjes]

I enjoyed playing with no strikers I’m tempted to do it more often. It’s also enjoyable because it’s not just about goals.

There sure is, and I enjoy reading them. I’m going to try a triple threat. Will see how that goes and whether I have the staying power for it.

I reckon you should bang out a 1k challenge, totally gets you addicted to challenges after that. Hell, I need challenge rehab, I think I’m on 7 a day right now

Solid score that mate!

I was a few seasons into a Rashford one. But just got frustrated any time he didn’t score. I’ll see if I enjoy spreading the wealth between a few players

Mate, totally agree on the frustration if they don’t score. I remember being utterly furious in one game in my TT when we won 4-0 in a difficult game but none of my three strikers scored.
