Career Rob and Taff present “The Strikerless 500”

[Rob]

@Taff - cracking season mate. If you had more games you’d be wel up on the goals. Your goals per game is incredible.

[Titjes]

Great seasons guys, keep up the good work

When he plays he is incredible, but my tactic is based on scoring goals and just hoping he gets the majority, but it works well as Eriksen was immense when he was covering for Lemar

Your player looks super tasty though, those attributes look incredible and he is still a young lad, so the next season or two I expect those numbers to creep up a fair bit

Cheers @Titjes, glad this thing hasn't died a death for taking so long to get season 2 up

[Taff]

@Foxy I think if you do the Math I'm 25 ahead not 15 

[Nucleus]

Smashing it @Taff 👊🏻 @Rob2017 I’m sure your totals will rise 😁 KIU!

I tried my best for you but it turns out that @Taff can count

unlike me🙄

 

[BatiGoal]

Caught up and loving this so far. 25 is a fair gap which is placing Taff on the comfy seat.. Come on Rob, we need you to smash it in S3. Vibe's watching.. 😉

I’m trying! I can score the goals; it’s just focussing them all Barco’s way is the problem!!!

Taff Season 3

Once again apologies for the delay, but we're back with season 3 of our strikerless H2H, so let's get into it

I began this season with a nice 25 goal lead, but Lemar's 3 game he got injured and I thought @samhardy had cursed me and that would be him out for 6 months.

Luckily it was only 3 weeks and he had a great season

Transfers

Here's my ins and outs for the year

Spoiler

Just three players coming in to replace outgoing players, Horta was my backup/backup AM, Kovacic came in to help in the CM and Wijnaldum came in as a cheap backup AP

Few outgoings who weren't getting the game time and a couple of unwanted graduates

 So with the team now set we went to try and duplicate last years success

Spoiler

We began by beating Dortmund in the German Supercup thanks to a brace from Lemar

A tight contest against our most played opponents this season Spurs but we walk away with the cup thanks to a ET winner from Eriksen

We have a field day in the CWC with Lemar nailing a hat trick

We top the table once again with a healthy points gap and no losses

Another tight game but we just edge out Hoffenheim in the German Cup to clean up on the domestic front

And Chelsea's discipline let them down as they go down to 9 men and we walk away with the UCL title and the clean sweep for the season

So that's all good but how did Lemar get on

Spoiler

Well he still looks amazing and he's only 24 so 500 shouldn't be an issue, but need to keep an eye on his fitness 

He only played 40 games for the year needing resting more often than not, but he knocks in 60 goals bringing his total up to 160 over 3 seasons 

So there we have it another successful season and now it's over to @Rob2017 for his results....

Over to you Rob

[BatiGoal]

Going to be tough to beat that total. Nice one, Taff! 

[Nucleus]

Smashed it Taff. Nice going that

[Rob]

So Taff nailed it. How did I do? Let’s have a look:

Transfers

Spoiler

Verrati and Diawara both wanted to leave.

Depth was added to the squad.

Team Result

Spoiler

Not too bad. Clean sweep.

 

It is a shame we didn’t have the Super Cup and CWC to contend after a naff European run last year. 

Barco scored his his first two finals but not the latter two.

Barco

Spoiler

The bit everyone wants to see. Well, the reason he didn’t score in the Cup and Champs League final is simply down to an injury. These are his final attributes (and a horrible 68% conditioning).

His goals?

I’m chuffed with that. 126 by the age of 21. 

Ok, I’m trying to put a positive spin on it. I’m getting stuffed, but I’m kinda enjoying it 😂

 

[FuddledFox]

Season three scores

@Taff leads @Rob2017 by 37 goals.

@Taff @Rob2017

 

[Taff]

Dude that's still a cracking score with an injury hit season, and he's still 3 years younger than Lemar (who I see you stole from me)

It's not over till the fat lady sings and I don't hear anything yet

[BatiGoal]

Still a proper score there, Rob, all things considered, but not enough on the day. You'll get the next one 😉 

[Rob]

Cheers guys. Barco generally either doesn’t score or scores two. I don’t seem to be able to get a run of one each game.

[Woody]

Keep going Rob my lad.....those goals will come.

@Taff getting stronger and stronger there mate, making your opponent sweat a little.

Your both doing a grand job 😉👍

[JohnyBravo]

Both of you are killing it, I don't think Barco can catch up before 500(unless Lemar get's crushed by injuries), Lemar being world class player from the get go gave him considerable edge.

[samhardy]

Both doing great. Rob definitely still with the handbrake on though and will soar to victory.

[Rob]

Just the 37 in it. Assuming @Taffgets 60 again in the next round all I will need is 97 to catchup. Piece of pee. 😭

[Titjes]

go go @Rob2017, only 37 goals behind  

Show @Taff how it's done in these next few seasons   

[Rob]

With @Taff having such a convincing lead, could I use Season 4 to claw some goals back? Let us all have a look.

Transfers

Spoiler

Di Maria kicked up and wanted to leave, so he did. He is a bit of a tosser.

Dele and Passlack came in for squad depth. Passlack is such good cover in many positions. I think I love him.

Team results

Spoiler

Clean sweep of everything. But it’s PSG and if you ain’t winning everything then you are underperforming.

Cup Finals:

Spoiler

Just realised I didn’t print screen the CWC or Super Cup. Doh!

 

Barco

Spoiler

So, transfers were made, pre-season began, and then this happened:

Feck.

Anyhow, he made his comeback in October and my target was to get an average of a goal a game. Did he at least get that?

Nope! But he was close. His stats are looking sexy though.

Those greens ❤️

I’m hoping to smash fifty next season - wish me luck! 

Over to @Taff to see how he did.

[Taff]

Rob and Taff Presnt “The Strikerless 500”

Taff Season 4

So here we are again folks @Rob2017 has shown you his results for the 4th season, and I’m here to show you mine so here we go.

Transfers

Spoiler

After some defensive issues last season I decided to bring in Upamecano who I know is a World class CD, along with Koulibaly as a backup.  Then Malcom and Bauer came in as straight replacements for outgoing players 

Rudiger is a very solid CD, but attitude issues and a persistent injury worry I decided to cut my losses and sell him, Wijnaldum, Thuvian and Henrichs all wanted out so I showed them the door.

Here’s how we got on this season

Spoiler

we began as ever with the German Supercup and the boys went out and got the job done with a hat trick from Lemar helping us to a 6-2 victory 

We couldn’t seem to get the same fire going in the Euro Supercup as we fall at the hands of Roma and miss out on our first piece of silverware in two seasons 

Lemar onfire in the CWC final banging in 4 on our way to another trophy 

We were almost unstoppable in the league this season but we missed out on a perfect season after an annoying draw, but still very happy with how the league season went

We make no mistake in the German Cup final and Lemar nets another Brace to secure the trophy 

and we win the big one with a single goal from the main man 

So disappointed not to have another clean sweep and that 1 draw in the league is annoying but a great season otherwise 

Now onto Lemar...

Spoiler

 

his attributes are as impressive as ever, but I found even when starting at 100% fitness he needed resting and subbing a lot (I’m guessing it’s the role he’s on)

but could he improve on his 60 goals from last season 

Well yes but only by 1 but it’s an improvement (if by the smallest margin)

so there we have it season 4 all wrapped up

hope to catch you all very soon with our next outing

Nicely done lads, but I can’t seem to see your images @Taff 😐

[Taff]

Ok I’ve edit it with the images do they appear now?

Impressive numbers @Rob2017considering he missed 3 months that had 60+ goal season written all over it if not more
