Career Foxy Presents: The Teutonic Treble - The Finale


Recommended Posts

Great stuff Foxy.

Arp made the big 1.2K. Could have gone to 1.5 if not for the fox cub, but he has shown a lot of team spirit to accept the back up role. A true club legend.

As for Leon, I can't believe he looks so good at 40! Phyiscals down obviously, but still looking capable of doing a reasonable job. The fact that he'd go through another gruelling season for you just shows what he's made of. Hope he gets that final goal.

Which brings us to that good for nothing Amiri! I mean, sure, he did fantastically well for the club and will go down as a club legend, but I mean really, he kept wanting to leave! And for Leicester? No offence Leicester fans, but you know what I mean. He needs a good kick up the backside, that lad... 😄

At least he did the honourable thing and once he realised his mistake he retired from football completely, although I would have welcomed him back.

He's lucky to have such a kind and considerate (ex)manager like you. I would have given him the Fergie treatment, I tell you! :) 

As for Leicester - I've actually had a soft spot for them since Matt Elliot went there (though I would have preferred to have kept him obviously).

It all comes down to this, one last season for Leon to get a goal in the 56th minute of a game and he will have completed the Goal a Minute challenge. He is 40 now and I won’t be asking him to reconsider his retirement whatever happens this year.

Last season saw the retirement of Amiri as he finished 5 assists short of 600 on 595 which as it stands is the top score on the assists challenge leaderboard or at least until someone comes along and beats it.

We will check in with Arp first before we get to the main event.

Arp 1KC

This season will be Arp’s last at the club as well. With his contract expiring, his attributes dropping fast and the fact he hardly plays any more I think it is time for him to call it a day at least at Atletico.

Just the 5 goals this year from 18 appearances all from the bench and no fairy tail ending like Amiri last year who scored in the Champions League final in his last appearance. Unfortunately he got an injury that ended his season.

So a bit of an anti-climax for Arp in this save but 1209 goals from 1050 appearances isn’t bad and I’m sure that without the emergence of Foxy Jr he would have just about got the 1.5k as well.

Arp will go down as an all time legend for me as he is my first 1Ker and he did it with style as well. On top of that he also got my first ever 100 goal season and when you add in the 179 assists he got he was involved in 1388 goals for the team.

Goretzka GaM

This is it then.

Last season Leon missed 5 months of the season with injuries but just managed to sneak in a time in the last game of the season. This year he was a little luckier with injuries but he still suffered as he missed about 3 and half months of the season.

He played 9 more games than last year and the best thing about that final injury was that it made absolutely no difference because…

HE ONLY WENT AND FUCKING DID IT!!!!!

Honestly I nearly fell of my chair when that goal went in and in the excitement I never took him off meaning that Foxy Jr missed the chance to score a penalty in the final minute as I never took Leon off.

I honestly never thought I would complete this challenge and certainly not with a midfielder. I believe this might be the first GaM that has been completed by a midfielder in Vibe history but even if it isn’t I don’t care all that matters is I did it. Yes this has been a frustrating journey as he kept getting duplicate times and also a good number of injuries, he never manged to play 1000 games unlike Arp, but when that goal went in the sense of achievement made it all worth it. Thanks to @Ashez for recommending the challenge to me😀

In terms of shear numbers Arp and Amiri outshone Leon but he has been the heartbeat of this team for 17 of the 19 seasons this career has lasted with only the last 2 years seeing him take a back seat role more. The numbers look pretty good to me as well with 332 goals and 258 assists and a whole host of wards and trophies.

Like Amiri, Leon went out with a bang with a goal in the Champions League final with his final touch of a football in anger as well. I brought him on in extra-time because my AP was knackered and I had no one else to use for that role off the bench

In the final minute from a corner….

The perfect way to end his career.

Time has taken its toll on him though and I think it is time he put his feet up on a beach somewhere and enjoyed his retirement.

Any Other Business

Transfers

I went a bit mad this year with signings into the club and then found it hard to move players on so I was left with too big a squad and my goal this summer will be to sell more than buy.

That brings the curtain down on this save and I have to admit it has gone so much better than I imagined at the start. I want to thank everyone who has read any part of this career the views have been great with an average of 300 views per update which is pretty crazy. Most of all I want to thank everyone who has commented and given me the motivation to keep plugging away at this career as it would have been so easy for me to have sacked it off when Arp got the 1k or Amiri the top assists total but you guys really kept me going and pushing for those final times.

 I know I go on a bit with these updates as proven by a career total word count of 19,323  but to know there are people taking an interest enough to comment is a huge boost and keeps those of us that post careers motivated to continue.

This career will continue as I try to emulate Arp and Gortetzka’s achievements with my son regen. You can find that career here.

Cheers lads

NO. F'N. WAY! 

I still think the game is trolling you and Foxy Jr will end on 999 goals, thanks to not taking that penalty! 😄

Seriously mate, that is epic, well done. I was amongst the many that doubt the GAM part of this and I was wrong!! Must feel massively great! This has been one heck of a ride...

Thanks for the support, when that goal went in it was probably my favourite FM/CM moment ever tbh😀

Hey mate, just a thought: have you got a wingback somewhere in this career that got more than 51 assists? Because with Amiri and Arp's assists, I think you'd qualify for the Triple Threat Assist Challenge...

I have one in my current squad as it happens😀

64 assists for Atleti so a total of 501 by my maths. Thanks for the heads up mate👍

Yeah I can only imagine just how epic! I love just playing FMM/FM/CM, but those moments... They take it to a whole other level!

No worries. Was just thinking about it earlier for my 1KC after @Nucleus mentioned it in his latest 5 in 1 career.

Wow! I'm incredibly happy reading this post @Foxy! This save and especially the GaM really caught my imagination and I'm delighted you got it across the line! I'll admit I didn't think you'd pull it off but the FMM God's were on your side in your final season! 

It's mad that a mere 90 goals can somewhat overshadow your striker scoring well over 1200 goals! Yet that's what I love about Vibe as you never know what will connect with you, I've enjoyed every aspect of this career and smashing the 1kc is no easy feat! 

I've doubted and believed at plenty of points along this journey and this is the first career in a long time that really captured that old magic for me, and the best part? You get to pass the torch to your son so he can now embark on his own journey! Who knew Foxy would be bringing the circle of life to Vibes career threads! 

The only thing left to say is congratulations!

It gives you and @Nucleus a slightly higher total to go for now although I think you can both beat it.

Not me mate... I let Pavon go and he was my leading midfield assister. Need to start again, but we share them around too much, so no way I'm getting on that leaderboard. 🙂
