2025 Calendar Year Challenge

So after failing this challenge last year I desperately wanted to make amends. Some luck is needed but a tactical tweak has also paid dividends in my opinion. From January to the end of the season, Mbappé managed to score a very respectable 58 goals for us as he produced a century year which you can find in the last update. That bodes well for the second half of the year as he only needs 34 or more goals to beat the challenge yet again.

Beat it he did, in emphatic fashion too! 48 goals for the second half of the year gives him a lovely tally of 106 goals for the Calendar Year.

Thanks mate! Not an Mbappé tweak really, it was a Havertz tweak. Changed him from an AP to a Treq and the team have just clicked (more than they had done already) 😂

162 League goals last season? Your team sure is clicking! Another epic season on all fronts - outta superlatives... 😄

That’s nothing to what I had in my DT save! I think I managed around 180-190 at one point in that one.

Season Nine

Transfers

Outgoing:

Several names leaving us this summer. Amiri still didn’t like me, and to be honest I was starting to dislike him so off he went to Sporting where I’m hoping he rots for all eternity. Adli, Gribbin and Toljian also leave the club which gives us plenty of space to fill some positions with shiny new players! Oh goody! 😁

Incoming:

Some huge names coming in over the summer. Upamecano and Vinicius Junior coming in on free transfers were absolute coupe as they would play a huge part this season. Cuisance is a player I’ve wanted to try for a while now and managed to snap him up this season, he’d play second fiddle to Havertz but his attributes suggest he could be the leading man for any team. Kliuvert comes in as Amiri’s replacement and Dalot would become my first choice RWB and he’s an incredible player this year! Tried getting him last season but he wouldn’t move from Juventus unfortunately.

Kylian Mbappé 1k Challenge:

Love this player, absolutely class act. Best striker in the game hands down. There, I’ve said it 😅

The lack of games due to the Champions League loss hampered his season a little bit, he was on course for a ton once again but falls just short with 94 goals in just 53 games.

Kai Havertz Assists Challenge:

The “little tweak” I was on about in the last update was a simple but effective one. All I’ve done is switched Havertz to a Trequartista instead of an AP and it’s worked a charm. 53 goals and 58 assists this season all from 56 games! Involved in more or less 2 goals per game. What a beast this man is 😍

When you’re having games like this you know you’re onto a winner..

Challenge Totals:

Games: 513

Triple Threat Assists Challenge:

Eagle Eyed viewers will have noticed that this challenge is now complete! Mbappé needed 14 assists to complete his part and managed 15 this season to cross over the line. Every assist now is simply a bonus for the leaderboard. I’d also like to point out that Alaba is on 120 yellow cards now so he’s closing in on the 150 mark required for @scratch99 bad boys challenge.

What training you use on mbappe ? Is it only me or he is getting month injury layout or fitness struggle on feb-apr? Most i could get out of him is 89 goals per season. Im pretty sure i could hit 100 mark without injuries and subbing him off around 70 minutes mark.

This is the training I use on all my players. Around February onwards I have to sub him off around the 75 minute mark but that goes for any striker I’ve used this year to be honest. He’s had a few injuries in this career, but nothing major thankfully

I will give this training a try. I ve never had those fitness problems. Maybe it will change something, i need change it up quickly as my mbappe is allready 28 years old and has on only 720 goals :( I was hoping for 1,5k but im pretty sure im felling short with that.

2026 Calendar Year Challenge

Hi lads, just a quick update on how the year 2026 went for Mbappé.

So between January and the end of the season Mbappé managed to score 46 goals which is bang on half way to completing the challenge. 46 goals in the second half of the year would be enough to beat it once again.

Lo and behold, you ask Mbappé and Mbappé will deliver. 46 goals for the second half of the year which was undoubtedly helped by the hatrick in the final match of 2026 😝

Season Ten

Transfers

Outgoing:

Just the one face leaving us this year, and it’s a reluctant sell as this player is one I’m very fond of this year considering he’s one of my former 1K heroes. I’m talking of course about Leroy Sané, who unfortunately found himself without a role in the team and Barcelona’s £50m pound offer was too hard to turn down.

Incoming:

Four new faces arriving this year as i slowly try to transition the older players out the club and replace with some up and coming talent. John Wilmot is without a doubt Gareth Bale’s regen and will slot straight into the left wing, he’s got fairly high Teamwork compared to his former self so that’s an added bonus. Jason Payne is a very versatile English central midfielder who I’ve gathered is James Milner, all his physicals are at the maximum 20 so he’s going to be a vital player in the coming years with hopes to retrain him naturally in most positions. Juan Munoz is a Chilean goalkeeper who will slot straight in as our new number one, and finally Fabio Viúla is a Portuguese right winger who will be Pulisic’s understudy until he develops a bit.

Kylian Mbappé 1k Challenge

A stellar season yet again from the Frenchman as he scores 98 goals this term. A tad disappointed not to hit a 100+ this year but his form tailed off towards the end of the season which was a real shame. He’s on 924 goals now, so bearing any long term injuries he “should” get this challenge done by the end of season eleven.

Kai Havertz Assists Challenge 

Once again this man was superb and matched last seasons tally of 58 assists. His goal scoring took a hit this year but I’m not bothered about that at all, so long as he keeps producing the goods assists wise he can score nothing for all I care! He’s on 505 assists now at just 27 years old. The holy grail of 1k assists is too far away in my opinion but I’d like to hold on to the dream a little while longer

Triple Threat Assists Challenge 

I’ll keep this part short as we’ve already completed it. Alaba found his best form yet, at the ripe old age of 34 might I add! He still looks fantastic too,  I’d anticipated from the off that he would be one of those players who keep going forever! Anyway, 20 assists from the Austrian this term, which puts his total assists up to 111.

Thanks mate! Not disappointed as such, absolutely fuming more like 😂 especially considering the form he was in early season. Just a few games from the end he tailed off. You can actually see on his attributes page where he has a 7-7-6, don’t think he scored at all in those three games. Changed his role in the cup finals and it paid off

Season Eleven

Transfers

Outgoing:

There’s been a lot of ins and outs this year, mainly due to the age of my squad, but also because a few past signings weren’t quite living up to the expectation. Kliuvert and Pinto fall into the latter category unfortunately, and they were deemed surplus to requirements. Goretzka, Marquinhos and Arthur were all into their thirties now and I like to prepare in advance with bringing in fresh blood so off they all went.

Incoming:

We spent a lot of money this summer, £370 million in fact. I won’t go into detail with the players as they’re all unknowns at this stage of a career. The marquee signing of Antonio Escobar for £143million stands out and I’ve gathered that he is none other than Sergio Busquets reincarnated, so I’ve put a lot of faith into him. In short, all of these are under 25 players with bags of potential that could seemingly finish this career with me.

Despite winning it all, I felt the team struggled at times this year, could almost call them lucky at times. I’m putting that down to the new faces taking some time to gel and develop so hopefully all will be back to normal by next season.

Kylian Mbappé 1k Challenge:

The question is, could Mbappé reach the promised land of 1000 goals this season. The answer is undoubtedly yes. 94 goals from the Frenchman sends him into the history books - and Vibe leaderboards.

He’s turning 30 at the start of next season so the target is without a doubt 1.5K. 500 odd goals in around 7 seasons? It’s definitely doable, but I’ll need Lady Luck on my side no doubt.

Kai Havertz Assists Challenge:

Plodding along nicely our Kai. 47 assists this season which is down on his previous years but it’s still a fantastic number in my opinion. He’s been on free kicks and corners throughout this career and I reckon they account for over 2/3 of his total. I’m struggling to find CB’s with high Aerial since Van Dijk’s decline. Fosu-Mensah and Jonathan Tah just aren’t doing what the Dutchman was so I’ll have to keep looking i think.

Triple Threat Assists Challenge:

What is it with David Alaba?! Struggled for 5 assists at the start of the career and now in the last two seasons he’s had his best records yet. 20 assists last time out, 19 assists this time. The Austrians physicals are declining now and whilst I write this they’ve gone even further down - into the blues 😱, but at 35 years old you have to admire how quality he looks!

2028 Calendar Year Challenge

Let’s get straight into it. Could Mbappé Beat the challenge for the fourth consecutive year?

In the first half of the year the boy wonder notched a respectable 46 goals off the target. This meant that all he needed to do was score 47 in the second half of the year. Easy, no?

3D3BAFAE-4C5A-4EFB-9836-ED764E711894.thumb.png.49e33f1f917ef5f03eec44d9bc87d974.pngE90CF672-8D33-4139-8488-22D0DF376F6D.thumb.png.dd2aa9a8b92afee03c713c1e263b8038.png023B04F1-9910-4C74-A867-B156A8BD1928.thumb.png.2268ed6cc99285366a5c4c4ad2aecf6e.pngE73C0AEE-CD74-4C03-900B-A25AE83EDDD5.thumb.png.7698a29cd9a61cbc9096786d5ca4d68f.png

 

No! 39 goals in the second half of the year means he falls short this time around. A grand total of 85 goals is the final tally. An injury at the beginning of the season derailed his chances as he missed around four games, and at the rate he was scoring he would have got there in my opinion. Alas, it wasn’t to be.

Kylian Mbappé 1k Challenge:

He struggled at the start of the season I won’t lie, and at the end of the Calendar Year he was stuck on a mere 39 goals. He needed a huge second half of the season to keep up with his previous seasons total.

A huge second half of the season he had, scoring a massive 59 goals between January and the end of the season to finish up with 98 goals for the campaign. To be honest I felt like the team was struggling as a whole at the start of the season so when January came around I decided to switch things up a little bit which paid off massively. One injury at the start of the season was all we had from Mbappé this season as he notched up an impressive 60 games this season.

Kai Havertz Assists Challenge:

Same story with this lad really, struggled at the start of the season but picked up when I made some tweaks to the tactics. The team were really struggling to create chances altogether which had me worried at one point, but they came back firing in the end thankfully. He returns to the 50+ mark with his assists by notching up a cool 54 for the campaign.

Triple Threat Assists Challenge:

As spoken about in the previous update, Alaba has been steadily declining since. His physicals have taken a hit, and he can’t play as many games anymore whilst being unable to fully complete the ones he does play in. 10 assists this season for the Austrian, but more importantly, 8 yellow cards which sees him eligible for @Scratch‘s bad boys challenge leaderboard!

I won’t be adding him on just yet mind, as he’s still got a few more seasons left in the tank.

So much awesome in here, I don't know where to start! 😄

I guess the obvious one is Bad Boy Alaba. Give me a shout when you want me to add him. Can't believe he's going so strong at 36, what a legend!

Havertz is just amazing here. I reckon he will get to a total no one will match. And probably the same for the TTAC too (although I don't know what the top score is, but surely you've beaten it). 

Mbappe is nailed on for 1.5K, no worries there at all! 

You're heading into the declining years for sure, but have achieved so much already that it's just icing now! So much icing... 👏

Cheers Scratch. 

I had a feeling Alaba would be a player that sticks around for a while. He’s just got those attributes that say “I’m going to play until I’m 75” 😛

Havertz/Mbappé - not sure which one is my favourite player this year overall! Checked the TTAC and yes, I’ve beaten the top score there - sorry @Foxy 😟

Mbappé should get the 1.5k, so long as o can finish it in time for FMM19!

Thanks for the kind words mate, appreciate it
