You can hardly afford any mistakes with INT jobs but you got some extra goals anyway and you'll easily reach your goal without it. Quality season again.

Season 9

It’s all about transition. Remember how I said I had a lot of money in the bank from previous savings? Yep, I spent a load of it:

A little bit scattergun, but I wanted to flesh the squad out and get as many out on loan to see who improves. PSG have the money, so I spent the money.

Felix kept the goals flowing:

And we carried on with the fairly successful seasons.

As for Felix’s end of season attributes, they now seem to have stopped improving and I have to admit each season is becoming a bit of a grind. But here is how he looks:

And he smashed 73 in 50 games, which is a +23 and something I am pleased with considering the age of the squad and the transitions.

Here is how we are looking:

We are looking good for 750 at the age of 30. We should reach it on league goals alone.

Thanks for reading.

Absolute madness this is. Here we are, trying to get an AMC to 1K for 3 years and you go nuts with it :D

Cracking job!

Thanks mate. I'm going to post the following season later and then I'm caught up on completed seasons. Next season is my favourite!

I remember that very same feeling. You start doing little side challenges just for yourself and extensive retail therapy in the transfer windows.

But remember what you are achieving is amazing and the grind will start to lighten in a season or so as the end comes into sight.

Cheers mate.I'm despaestely trying to ignore the side challenges as Felix needs total attention. I can assure you I won't be posting any more long careers for a while.

Simply brilliant @Rob2017, I can't believe some of us can't get 1K with a striker, you smash it out of the park with an AM, I applaud you mate

Thanks. I've just stumbled on a methodology that works.  Bit like your success in your Long Way challenge.

Wow, I just read 3 or 4 updates (since I last checked) and so much happened in there.

Congrats on the Portugal job. Commiserations on the Portugal job. I guess the more ITN sackings thing applies to us as well.

Massive season when he was out injured. I've had that before and I think they benefit from being extra fresh from the time out.

Anyway, you are killing it mate, no way you can miss this. At least 1.2K probably higher (if you keep going).

The highs and lows of FMM are ably demonstrated in the next two seasons, so let me crack on with...

Season 10

The transfers aren’t interesting to anyone, but here they are:

Nor, in fact, is it interesting that we did a clean sweep.

This challenge really isn’t about trophies, as having more games doesn’t actually help all that much in my opinion. What is a more important thing is having a player with stamina.

Felix has a few pretty good games, including one game of a hilariously high score and another game of an even more hilariously high score.

F83E2A7E-67EF-41A2-BD20-9BDC9DBECF5C.thumb.jpeg.a9da678bd03c558df019742fe4004760.jpegE17B4D9C-FAE8-47C8-83E4-ED93BE1A0034.thumb.jpeg.eb3f8752822a85913163e40945231590.jpeg39276E77-9CB2-4A30-BC26-F3DDCDEDB5A4.thumb.jpeg.81544e882c022494701d6771779d23e4.jpeg7CCC1BB5-773D-4637-B7AD-765AEC56703D.thumb.jpeg.327ca71344104a80c085068531ab23a0.jpeg

And he genuinely performed brilliantly. Here is a screen grab of one of his runs. He actually missed three weeks just after. 

79316732-A0F3-43DE-8A67-647D2ADA1C7F.thumb.jpeg.53d20deea352437d9b7ed4fd1f32f542.jpeg

But the most important thing is his goal return. This season it was bloomin’ incredible.

93 goals in 57 games. A +36. That’ll do nicely and takes us up to 796 if you include my catastrophic manager reign with Portugal. Part of me was gutted to not get 100, but it never really looked on. He kinda went in spurts.

Next season, however, is not so good in more ways than one... which will be posted tomorrow.

Thanks for reading.

Stunning season! Gutted that you couldn’t break down the 100 goal mark but I’m sure it will come, I hope 😛

Looking Forward to the bad news already

Cheers mate. He put a late spurt in otherwise I was assuming it’d be ‘another’ 80 season.

Amazing results. The fans are the real winners here getting 8-10 gl matches getting their money's worth. Hehe! 

Fantastic job, mate. 

Thanks. I like to think they are entertained. Not entirely sure our keeper is happy not getting his clean sheet bonuses.

There is some pretty impressive results there @Rob2017, what a goal machine, obviously the tactics are just perfect every season and the rest of the team are that good to help him achieve his goal, it will be a shame when it comes to an end

Season 11

This is the season that I very much remember that this is a computer game. This happened:

Yep, he wants to leave. He wants a new challenge. I suggested he go climb a mountain. Then jump off of it.

 And he will not accept a contract either.

3 seasons left on his contract. Oh well.

However, from my disparity and grumpiness this happened:

Yep, the Portugal manager job for the second time.

Felix starts my second reign at 62 goals.

Hopefully I hold on to the job for a bit longer this time!

During the season I got the ‘Join the Board’ unlockable, which was something I really wanted for this career.

We did our usual transfer business. The regular sugar daddy summer budgets are so much fun to spend, especially combined with savings.

And we won quite a bit, but I don’t really care. The focus is Felix. He had some good goal hauls:

E4170F52-BDB4-44FD-B731-9E056CE8A8C4.thumb.png.a1f5d6d8a6f0baca09f6772ff5af0f81.pngC39A9E1E-C103-4A80-9872-112C8A8B52D3.thumb.png.66039d2eb058220ecefc0d7bbf05a0b7.png49587DBA-2A78-4D98-AA7E-53CF0E47405A.thumb.png.3a771c7531bb7cc7071e6905851c8591.png395B1DB9-29E6-423B-93F4-04C6A11DCFAA.thumb.png.fa99eeebdf44889b1cffc25727c3c32d.png

But he also had a lot of injuries. I had high hopes after last year’s93 goals, but a year of injuries, rebuilding of the squad, and constant unhappiness meant he got a whopping...

...56 goals. Which is still a wonderful return for an attacking midfielder, but not what I am used to! I will count the Portugal goals at the end of my reign.

Still, we carry on and hopefully sort the contract situation out. Thanks for reading!

Brilliant mate, just keep offering him a contract, I bet he will accept eventually, keep giving him compliments, he'll buckle

congrats on the Portugal job, again. This is a breeze for you mate looking at all the past seasons, you will only need him for 3 seasons anyway, knock it out of the park mate

Thanks mate. It’s still a bit of a grind but I want to take him as old as I can too.

Season 12

Remember how Felix wants to leave for a new challenge? Well at the start of this season he had two more years left on his contract. But he was also disgruntled and it was driving me potty as I was convinced that it was affecting his performances last year. So I decided to gamble on selling him and signing him back.

28925F5F-548F-407D-B3C1-D328CCAFE3FB.thumb.png.4f8cfaaa897029ee0c0f7c112787ab6f.png

City offered £92m. I managed to negotiate a 50% sell-on. At the start of the window he was sold.

I kept trying to sign him back and consistently got offers of around £150m accepted. When it came to negotiating contracts with him he wasn’t interested. It was frustrating.

This carried on until the second week of August, but I was starting to notice his mood towards a transfer was now 40%. I made an offer for him and it got agreed at £78m. God knows how. He agreed terms for a return. We got £39m as part of the sell-on clause.

C29E618F-C12F-45D9-9009-CA55655D8EA5.thumb.png.47faa5bd399ab53158fbab714ebbad00.png

Overall we made £52m out of the deal, with him leaving for a month and a half, missing four PSG games that could have counted towards a 1kc, and signed him back on a five year contract at the same wage as when he left. What horrendous logic this game has at times! Still, it’s worked in my favour. 

He played one game at City and scored none! He returned to us and did this in his first two games:

EBA2B0E1-951C-44EB-A949-C77B602A16DA.thumb.png.758762ad104bdc7b39e617161a89c8e7.png4AE841B2-ABA4-4079-A3CF-AE85A136414D.thumb.png.11d3da06c7f12ca240ee6028fe706fb9.png

Welcome back son!

We all did a few transfers. We have too much money and it’s taking my focus away a bit as I’m able to make massive losses on players that don’t quite fit without it being too detrimental, especially as most of my high earners have left. 

87A289DB-58F3-41B8-A3B3-A4A2F317893D.thumb.png.e8ac24072b55315133b577d4fcaf9e9e.pngF090D343-5A75-4568-9ACA-64DCC5351476.thumb.png.cdd636c4dc48f63004f3e5fa18e20af2.png

Not the greatest of seasons domestically...

But Portugal are on their way to the World Cup, which I’m pleased with. They don’t have high expectations either which should keep me in the role.

Felix kept going with some decent returns:

BE645D97-9494-41F0-BDEB-8B94826BCA56.thumb.png.4bc3461ba00b9e16f90d2c9212dd0c55.png05EBC89B-D3C3-4D21-8D82-7810AF91D0F3.thumb.png.bf9bd18855d5f49a17446ea740277c9f.png519525B5-EC3D-4E7C-8D8E-EE4DBB0AEF84.thumb.png.156aebabde6f2ca06787e08f76756497.png0B49DCB6-200F-4944-A663-A915363817F3.thumb.png.1f597f7d7f5461bf71d0165afcd38314.png246CA33F-1083-4EB7-9496-7BA6ABFA65FB.thumb.png.05fb679a219a3ce7ab59a55f38275a53.png

He has regressed a tiny bit with attributes, which isn’t the end of the world.

2D279846-BAE3-421A-AF1E-1BD046A0D8BF.thumb.png.126a548f87aab840b120f05407aad786.png

As he seems to have got the scoring back relatively high with 75 goals this time around.

Which leaves us with 899 league goals st the age of 30. Factor in the national goals from my first reign and we are well ahead of my 750 goal mini-target.
