Career Book of Isak: A log of a 1kc Attempt

[Rob]

Due to the the necessity of needing one for the Olympics combined with past 1kc failings (whether it be my uselessness in terms of single player tactics or saving over files), it’s been a bit of an obsession of mine to get a tactic that works.

I will be doing this in the quieter moments (when I want a break from the Strikerless H2H Race to 500 challenge) and rather than storyboarding my career I will just post the essentials. It’ll be a slow burner. I’ve done a season and a half so far over the past 2-3 weeks.

So, here is who I chose:

Yep, the title of the thread gives it away. The 17 year old Swede has flown in to London and signed for my Spurs team.

Season 1

We

The major sales were Kane and... Rajkovic. Yep, we made a huge profit on our reserve keeper very quickly.

The standards all came in. Plenty of players who can play anywhere.

We did a bit crap in everything.

But the important question is how did Isak do?

49 goals for 17/18 year old in a not massively successful team.

Thanks for reading. Season 2 to follow when I get time.

Good luck mate  

[RipRip]

Go for completion mate! Best of luck!

That's a very good start for Isak in my book as every goal before he is 20 is a bonus, something I believe is known as the @BatiGoal theory but I may be wrong.

Freaking love and agree with that theory. Just finished the second season. He’s done pretty well. 😭

[Nucleus]

Yeah as Foxy said, a very good start. If he’s on 200 by the age of 20 you’ll be laughing!

[kylieboi88]

Just a question... in no way am I saying im right but is England not one of the harder leagues in order to complete the 1k challenge? 

Portugal, Italy and Belgium I have heard are easier to achieve??

That’s the challenge. I’m a Spud so if I can do it with my boys then I’ll be doubly happy!

Thats a good shout that. 

Im mega interested in doing this. Got 5 potential strikers lined up who I am tempted to use

The BG Theory. That's correct 😆

Best of luck, Rob. 

[Taff]

That’s a very good first season @Rob2017, and I’m an advocate of the BG theory so enjoy your first few seasons

If it had been said by Ghandi or chow yun fat(he was a bulletproof monk) it would of gone down as one of those famous wise sayings!

As far as i'm concerned it's the most wise i've ever heard on this forum. 😉

[Rob]

T-shirts need to be made of the motto.

Anyhow, Season 2:

Transfers.

Spoiler

A few players who could play in a few positions.

Team.

Spoiler

Better than last.

Player.

Spoiler

European player of the year, which means he must have done alright.

Which he did. I wouldn’t get too excited though - season 3 hasn’t been so prolific so far. 

His season ending stats:

 

[Rob]

Season 3

Transfers

Couldn’t turn down the money for Davinson and Eric. Especially when certain other central defenders became available.

A transfer-listed Marquinhos came for £53m. Hilarious. I raided some good youthies too. Hopefully some will play to the age of 41.

The team

Pipped by Arsenal on the league. I messed around with my tactic a bit too much. But what’s most important is Isak.

Isak

Another 66. Just turned 20. 183 goals by then. Following the rule of goals before 20 I’m fairly happy with that. Just 817 to go. Should take me two seasons.

Cheers mate. Kinda figure 400 odd goals per season isn’t unrealistic.

Think you're being ambitious as he is only young still so maybe just 300 goals next season🙂

Better make it a challenge then and score all in 1 season 

 

Just kidding mate, doing great work, keep it up  

[Rob]

Season 4

Transfers

Both Diaware and Winks wanted to leave. 

De Gea, Fabinho, and Laporte came in along with some youthies.

The team

Not really pulling up any trees, but we did the league and cup double.

Isak

So after a 66 and 68 season, coupled his maturing and my team getting better, could I smash a 70 goal season? Could I even smash 80?

No!

58 goals. It got worse. At least it was a goal a game.

I shall continue to plod on!

[kylieboi88]

Best of luck mate. Keep it up. Im plodding along with Martinez atm lol. England and Italy are tough leagues

[Nucleus]

Going nice and smooth so far mate. KIU, you’re in a good posistion now

Thanks mate. Just need to average just over 60 goals a season until he is 33/34! 😭

I just want to get one done!!!

[PriZe]

Isak will help you out mate! 2kc sure☺

[gunnersaur]

I was going to say keep it up youre doing great and best of luck. Then i seen what team you were so i hope you fail miserably 😜 but in all honesty kepp it up your doing well

[Woody]

Keep ya chin up fellow England team mate...

[Rob]

On to Season 5

Tranfers

My Barco out in this save. Doesn’t fit in.

Spunked all my money on Alaba. Love the bloke.

The club

Won the national treble. Came close in this others.

Isak

After a bit of a naff season again I decided to switch my tactics to my strikerless tactic but with my AM moving up top as an AF. It managed to get Isak back in to the 60s.

Job done. I just want to get in to the 70s sooner rather than later.

And our final day ended this..

Without wanting to spoil next season, it would seem that my switch of tactics is so far doing the job. 😉

[Rob]

Season 6

Let’s see if the boy can improve on the 60 goal a season average. 

Transfers

Both wouldn’t sign contracts; both left. Eriksen went at the end of the season.

Cheap(ish) wonderkids in. Quiet window. 

The club

Won the league and champs league. Struggled squad size with the domestic cups.

Isak

Now 23 and an advanced forward. Interestingly no 20s despite IT.

After getting 63 last season, I then switched to a variant of my ‘Shield’ strikerless formation with the AM pushed to AF. 

Boom! 76 goals. 380 goals down. 620 to go! I may yet finish a 1kc.

[FuddledFox]

Looking good mate! 100 goals next👍
