Career 5 Batigoals

So this is my attempt at the intriguing  @BatiGoal Everyone’s a Goalscorer Challenge

Quote

 

Not knowing how this would pan out, I decided to make things slightly easier for myself by starting at Real which would give me a good base squad and just about the maximum possible number of games.

My naive plan was to make the required 22 man squad top heavy with attacking and assisting talent. Because I wasn’t building for the future, I released all of the B team that the board would allow and then demoted all of the players out on loan who wouldn’t be available to me for the season.  Then being lazy I put all unwanted players up for sale and then just demoted them as well - so they were gone from my 22 whether they sold or not. The only player that I sold unexpectedly was Kroos when the offer was just so good that it would fund several incoming players.

The final summer transfers in/out were:

Note: The Pending transfer for Tardelli was a screw up where I mistakenly bid for him at the end of his contract instead of immediately. Not to worry, I cancelled the transfer when it came up.

No winter transfers in

So this is my chosen 22 for the challenge:

My first order of business was to get Bale to 5 goals before he got injured. Just managed it!

This fun challenge leads to some very strange formations and playing defenders up front at times. So games like this are very pleasing when the plan works and your centre backs get on the scoresheet.

Getting to this point where the defenders had all reached their 5 goals was a great relief

....and the final challenge goal was achieved in April

A couple of opposition players even contributed to the cause

The final season goal status and manager profile

So a final score of 148 146 goals for a really fun and thought-provoking challenge. 

 

EDIT: To correct score and remove the 2 OGs

Excellent score and really well thought out attempt at the challenge 👍🏻

Thanks guys. Although it is just one season long, I ended up spending ages planning how I was going to approach it player-wise and changing formations. Getting defenders to score reminded me of the Maguire Brothers a little.

Congrats URz, well played, I know how it feels when you're slowly running out of time and there's still many players left in need of a goal. But your strategy worked perfectly 👍 the pre-season took just as long, if not longer than the season itself 😁

I'll add you to the leaderboard. You're the first. Btw, I'm getting 146 pts. Pls confirm.

Great score mate. Perfectly strategized. 

Thanks but in truth I did lose focus on the points scoring (ie total goals) several times when I got too obsessed getting particular players to score.

Thanks - and congrats on the idea, it was a real challenge to play. 

Some of the players seemed determined not to score at times! Modric surprisingly took ages and I had Nacho on penalties but his conversion rate wasn’t great.

Sorry for getting the wrong idea on the final score. I had misunderstood and thought it was all goals scored even OGs (which was why I included the screenshots) but now you’ve queried it, it’s obvious it wouldn’t make sense like that in the context of this challenge. Long-winded way to say, yes my 22 scored 146 between them.

I know, had also trouble getting some of my mids to score during my test save. Think I was on 120-125 gls with a month left to play so you've got yourself a lovely score. Let's see if the next one comes close.

On a tangent, every time I see the title of this thread I sing it as the ‘5 Golden Rings’ bit of the ‘Days of Christmas’ song.

Do you think you’ll give this another go based on what you learnt?

Funnily enough that came to mind when I typed the career title 😁

Not sure. Beating the challenge score wouldn’t be a motivator but maybe trying to do it quicker? @BatiGoal did it a month sooner.

Hadn't seen this challenge before, looks pretty fun! Great attempt mate, well done! 🙂

Thanks @Scratch 

This is the perfect antithesis of the 1KC - short and focussed on 20 goalscorers!

Mate just caught up with this due to Kanegan's attempt, really good attempt and a very high bar to set the ball rolling, not an easy score to beat.

Thanks @Cockers2505 It is was probably the most fun challenge I’ve done for awhile but also the one that required the most thought on squad makeup and weird team selections.

I don’t really have a feel for the level of the final score without an comparison. Hopefully it’s a good marker.
