That's some fantastic work you did all these seasons mate ;)

Still a great result this season considering how old they are :)

Thanks mate. Just one more to go. It is a chore though!

Wow!! And without strikers. 😎

Looking forward to final season

Thanks. I fully recommend giving @Foxy‘s one season Strikerless challenge a go.

I’m going to post the final season in a few updates, then do a bit of a career write-up at the end in case anyone is interested. 

Anyhow, pre-season came and we signed one player to cover in defence. I will do screens at the end in case I spend during the season. 

The final World Team of the Season was announced and Asensio made it for the first time!

In central midfield, even though he has never played there. A few of my boys made the all-time team.

Havertz has been amazing, and then it is good to see Lemar and Coman get the recognition they deserve.

We have played the first three games of the season.

Asensio scores the winner in a tight Germa Super Cup. Yet hilarity ensued in the Euro Super Cup as City blagged a late winner entirely against the run of play.

And I know it’s not a final, but the first round of the German Cup had this:

He is 36!!!! I think I love him.

Thanks!

@Rob2017 you are a legend!

Thanks guys. I think I’m just the only person sad enough on here to focus on the Strikerless stuff.

Nothing sad at all about it mate. If that’s what you want to post about that’s your choice. That’s the joy of Vibe! 😁 I’ve always posted careers for my pleasure first, if that makes sense? 😂

Yeah, total sense. I guess you have to do what you can to maintain the interest otherwise it is one big grind.

And we have just bombed out of the domestic cup.

But managed to get through to the next round of the Champs Cup after a hilarious two leg tie.

Lemar has had a corker of a season so far.

Two or three months to go until a Lemar retires (and he still won’t reconsider!) he does this:

It very much reminds me that this is, indeed, a video game.

The Final season, and the end of this career, ended with a bit of a damp squib.

We crashed out of the Champs Cup, followed by injuries to two of my three boys that meant they missed the remaining games.

But at least we won the league.

Giving us an overall season of this...

I will do a career write up in a bit and do final scores.

Thanks!

If anyone is still awake and following, here are the end of career stats:

Team/manager

B8CB0351-9685-45F1-8CC6-B2EFA877A25A.thumb.png.aaa4433e3cc7f8ec802eea5095ffa41d.png4E20B44B-472C-4F78-8F67-8D8BA93A07C8.thumb.png.81aa91a60c295151486e797451dc361d.png

We averaged 3.54 goals per game, which was really good considering we didn’t have a striker. However, what I would add is that this whole career was about scoring goals. Our win percentage of 81% is good, but not brilliant, so I wouldn’t ever recommend my tactic as one that wins everything. We also spent a lot of money and benefitted from unlocking sugar daddy during the career.

We had a decent trophy return. We won the league in every season (Bayern, duh!) but averaged 2.6 cups a season.

When it came to the Champs Cup we were very inconsistent, winning exactly half (eight) of the 16 played.

37, 37, and 36 at the end. My training worked wonders as they retained some beautiful greens. The physicals were falling away though and they were getting subbed early in each game towards the end seasons, which was a pain.

In terms of stats, I’ve printsscreened their goals and assists for previous clubs so we can subtract them from the totals:

Coman has nothing elsewhere, so bagged 494 goals and a whopping 602 assists.

Lemar got 15 goals elsewhere giving us a 1/2 kc goals and 312 assists.

Asensio got 17 goals elsewhere, which meant he got 895 goals for us and 383 assists.

The Triple Threat of Asensio, Lemar, and Coman got 1,889 goals and 1,297 assists between them. Asensio and Lemar got the best Double Trouble total of 1,395. The threesome also scored 62% of our total goals.

@Foxy please add me to the scoreboard for the Strikerless goals.

@Rob2017 you handsome man please add me to your fabulous new Strikerless DT and TT leaderboard.

@danovic78 please add Coman to your assists leaderboard before @Nucleus smashes it! 😭

Thanks to all that have read and commented.

Super career mate. Really nicely done. Enjoyed every update, and to do it all strikerless has been nothing short of amazing. The only bad thing about it is you have to try and top this in 2019 😝

Congrats matey!

I haven't commented as much as I should so apologies for that but I have been following this closely as your achievements have been nothing short of amazing considering you are running without a striker. Having tested a few strikerless setups I know that it can be hit and miss at times so you have this style of tactics right on point and you should be hugely proud of your achievements this year.

Along with the Harry and Sane and the power of 5 we have seen from @Nucleus this year this is up there as one of the careers of the year for me.

Thanks guys. I ain’t touching Strikerless again until, as Nuke suggested, 2019 lands.

Two things I would say about my tactic in this is that it is designed for everyone to score - I was just lucky in Asensio having such good shooting attributes - and there are a few FMM/football rules that you can pretty much ignore if you want it to work.

Thanks guys. I’m going to do some testing for a tactic that’ll focus on just one attacking midfielder for a 1kc charge and see how that one goes too. But I want a breather first! 

Save it for 2019 mate! 😝

Out of interest, what is the formation? I had a pretty decent strikerless one at the start of the year and would love to see the difference. If you don’t want to share it publicly that’s fine though 😝

Haha yeah. Just edited my post to say that.

Strikerless is so 2018! I think 2019 is going to be all about defenderless.

This was the one I used when I attempted the strikerless season. I think I got a decent score iirc but I forgot to set corner and free kick takers which hampered my points a bit

I think I gave that a bash to an extent this year 😂
