Career Slab Head Brothers Join The Attack! [Slab Head Brothers OSC]

[Seth Anacondas]

2018/19 will be my 6th FMM, and I've attempted just the one challenge. Time to change that - with The Slab Head Brothers One Season Challenge.

Challenge

The challenge saw me (a Macanese female in this save) take over Leicester City, sign Harry Maguire's brother Laurence and get both to score as much in one season The brothers must play as forwards.

Thanks to Foxy for these:

Scoring = Harry's goals + 5 (Laurence's goals) + League points

Philosophy

A traditional 4-4-2 with some twists. I have never used 4-4-2 before and it'll be interesting to see how this pans out. 

Spoiler

It's pretty good.

Spoiler

Despite their starting stats, the faster Laurence was a Target Man, while the more physical Harry was an Advanced Forward.

Counter is a misnomer as I change it to Attacking or Balanced soon after kick-off. Final Third instructions were kept simple - either classic Through Balls or Run at Defence. 

Transfers In

Over £70M was spent to remodel the defence, including on IRL Leicester player Ricardo Pereira. At £70k, Laurence looks to be a bargain.

Transfers Out

It's an emotional goodbye to Premier League winners Vardy, Mahrez and Okazaki. Would have kept Okazaki had there been more interest in my loaned out players (all listed), but alas.

Harry Maguire

Spoiler

Star Moments

Harry shows why he was so sought after by United, being a constant thorn in the side of Pep.

Spoiler

This is Harry Maguire from Maguire News! Harry ended the season with 31 goals and the Golden Boot. (Points - 31 x 1 = 31)

Laurence Maguire

Spoiler

Star Moments

Absolute bargain!

Spoiler

Good job, assisted more than his brother too. (Points - 6 x 5 = 30)

League Performance

Spoiler

Agonisingly missed out on Champions League by two points, but we hardly deserved it. A real Hodgson masterclass. (Points - 64)

Final Score

Spoiler

31 + 30 + 64 = 125 points

Proof

Spoiler

Just the one injury, the brothers are incredibly fit.

Harry

Laurence

Form was challenging to track. They played almost every game but QPR and Burnley. (Nothing against Burnley - they were unfit)

Misc

Spoiler

Nightmare for Dragovic, with an error and sending-off. Confidence was shot after Caio took his spot in the team.

Tragic end to the FA Cup fairy tale. Klopp gets revenge after we tormented him in the league.

Three of the original team top the class.

And that's it! Fun challenge and thoroughly recommended. Both brothers the most consumate of professionals, making this an intriguing save.

[Cockers2505]

[samhardy]

Nice one mate

[Ashez]

Solid attempt mate :).

[kylieboi88]

Wow amazing result...how many with Harrys big head?? Well done

[Seth Anacondas]

Thanks all for the support. Uni has just started, so that's me going back in hiatus. Of course, I'll be back for Fulham in the Premier League (FMM19).

[Though given my ADHD, it's likely I get the legend Clint Dempsey to score as many as possible (in FMM18).]
