No but an AMC did do pretty well for me (Emenike save), enough that I did actually dabble with a short test but this is your beat haha. 1k from AML/R has been my unicorn since 2015 but from AMC didn't appeal as much until last year. 

It is certainly doable. A 1kc from AML/R would be great too - would need a lovely asymmetric formation though.

I've been banging my head against that wall for years. One year I got an AML to.score 74 I think it was in Brazil but then the next two seasons he failed to break 40 :(. If we still had Brazil it would be do able I think, especially with the options we now have as I'm talking mainly from the ome days. I spent a lot of last year not being able to get this idea to work though, at one point I thought I was on to something and the January update killed the tactic :(. The EME and updates are just devastating at times lol.

Completely agree. I ain’t updating until the forum gives me the confidence that everything works.

Personally I'd not update until this is done

[Gurthfeina1905]

which tactic you use?

[fRESH]

Going great! I really hope u can do this .

[BatiGoal]

Great progress. I considered Felix for an assist challenge last year but decided against it. Matter of fact, decided against the entire challenge 😂 but he looks the part already. 

Keep going.

Season 3

It’s simple: improve. That is the plan, and that is what happened. An excellent campaign in which we almost won everything ended with a narrow loss in the Champions Cup final. It’s something I am content with though.

We improved our league goal tally, which was great, and utterly destroyed a team I had never heard of in the Cup (with Felix suspended).

Not entirely sure what’s happening with the duplicate outgoings - a bug? - but Paqueta and Rabiot had finished their usefulness to me... 

...as Diawara and Sancho came in to strengthen the squad. Diawara is my main DLP and Sancho backup in a few roles. The other signing is a young German keeper.

 

Felix won a few more awards along the way. I’ll stop posting these in future as they get a bit repetitive.

But he continued his high-scoring matches, grabbing a four and a five. Yep, a five goal haul for someone who isn’t a striker.

He ended the season at the age of 21 and looked like he was becoming an absolute monster.

If he wasn’t real I’d be thinking he was a Ronaldo regen (with a few tweaks). He has improved in just the right places.

 

So how did he do? Well he had 48 and 58 so far and this season got...

...75. Delighted with that. A +17 season.

181/1000 goals so far.

819 to go.

 

In terms of my mini-target of reaching 425 at the age of 25 he needs 244 more in 4 seasons. 

 

Thanks for reading.

Don’t blame you. He is an absolute monster as Season 4 will show when I get around to whacking it on. I thoroughly recommend using him.

p.s. I am going to try your 5 goal a player challenge after this career.

Can't wait 🙂

What a season right there. Things could hardly have gone any better. Is this the Felix you see daily on the training grounds or is he just warming up? 😳 

[FuddledFox]

Brilliant season fella!

Its only a matter of time until we see you join the 100 club and with an AMC as well 🤯

Thanks mate. Need everything to be perfect for that to even be a consideration.

😭 thanks. If him and Silva get as good as we have made them they’ll be nailed on for the next few world cups.

Season 4

After a 75 goal spectacle last season, it was actually this season that was a real step-up.

Havertz and Meret came in as squad players.

And Stark and a few non-entities left.

I knew I said I wouldn’t post any more awards, but he got Best in Europe for the first time this year. Asensio came second.

And we unlocked the Sugar Daddy unlockable, which I would have preferred to have done in another save. Still, it gave me a nice transfer kitty bump again.

Anyhow, the important stuff. The boy just could stop scoring.

Here are some of his fours and fives, including a Clear Cut Chance stat of 11.

So, with those games plus his award you’d think he had an awesome season? Well, we reached the Christmas break with this:

A 2 goals per game average. We were flying and I was thinking I’d be joining the 100 Club. His attributes had pretty much parked:

We ended up 81 goals in a +23 goal season. The business end of the season slowed him down a lot, which was annoying, but 262 goals in four seasons ain’t to be sniffed at.

262/1000 goals scored.
738 to go.

😮

Sensational mate!!

Just gonna put this out there but i can see this being really tough going!

Keep going though Rob...you'll get there son 😁

[Jens]

I really hoped that I'd be the first one to do this on here. But I guess I'll have to settle for being the first one (I think?) to break 500. You've really stunned me last year with Asensio and I've no doubt you'll hit it this year. (At this rate you'll even manage 1.5K) KIU

Thanks. I may end up being the first, but you could still post the higher score.

Kind of you to think so highly of me but I'm the one who took until last year to finish my first 1K with a regular striker   And I've been playing since '06, kids!

Bananas! 

The making of a legend?

Simply outstanding season 😀

Season 5

262 goals already. Can Felix carry on the way he has been going? Let’s see...

First, transfers. Sane joined to be part of our rotation system and Tierney joined predominantly as a backup (and to stop others from getting him).

Scarpa left as Sane was essentially a replacement. Havertz was a hard one to let go but he just wasn’t getting the game time and I made £10m on him in a season.

I applied for the Portugal job and didn’t get it. I’m a bit torn on this, as I want to get the 1kc without international... but at the same time they are bonus goals. Bit annoyed!

Felix continued with the four goals and above, even grabbing a double hatrick.

At this point he tended to get two goals and then I would sub him off at 70-75 mins.

Sadly we got his longest one off injury of a month, rather than the week or two now and then that we’d had in the past.

But we still managed 55 games, which is the big advantage of having a team that plays a lot of matches plus the injury happening at the tail end of the season.

We unlocked the Gala Dinner unlockable, which was neat. It was a lovely night and I got on the kareoke for a bit.

As for Felix, here is how he looked:

And here is how the season finished.

As for his goals, could he match the 81 of last season? No... but he beat it. A +28 season.

The boy is flying.

Thanks for reading.
