Career MULAMBO's everyone's a goalscorer challenge attemt

[Mulambo]

After reading Bati's challenge and seeing URz throw down the gauntlet with an impressive score of 146 I thought I'd give it a bash.

To give myself the best chance of success I decided to load the dice and in my 22 man squad I selected 2 GK's, 5 CB's, 4 CM's, 4 wingers/ wide attackers and 7 (seven) central strikers.... I really hope that adds up to 22.

I went with PSG as they have a strong core and a lot of funds to get in the other players I wanted.

I'll try to upload updates as I finish each month starting with August tomorrow (hopefully)

Not the two worst players to be out for a bit with injuries.

Best of luck!

[Titjes]

Good luck

[Nucleus]

All the best mate 😁

August update....

Aiming for 3 goals a game and hoping that if I can get that I should win most matches. Picked up a few injuries in pre season and a few more minor ones in the first few games but at the end of August things seemed to be going ok...

 

[Mulambo]

So 17 goals in 4 games isn't too shabby. No one at 5 goals yet but 2 for Kehrer who was on penalties and 1 for Thiago Silva... A screamer from outside the area if I remember correctly.

I think the 18th goal was an o.g which accounts for the difference in the totals

September update...

October update...

So banging in just over 4 goals a game, which is great. 7 of 20 players have got the 5 goal target...struggling a little with the defenders though, even having them on penalty duty they miss as many as they score

[Rob]

Hopefully you’ll eventually break them down. You got them on free kicks too?

No. Because part of the challenge is how many goals we get in total I'm keeping decent free kick takers on free kicks. I've started putting defenders upfront if I'm winning comfortably by 60 mins and from the start of I'm against really weak teams in cup games

[Mulambo]

November/ December update....

So somehow I lost the screenshots for November...so here's where I'm at at the end of December.

Still managing to stay above 4 goals/ game which is awesome. Leaking heavily at the back at times though.

12 of 20 players are on or over the 5 goal mark and every one is on at least 2 goals.

I have defenders on penalties and have started playing with 2 defenders in my front 3 playing as target men...it works ...sometimes. Hoping to get them all over 5 goals then switch to a full strength side for the tougher cup games. I have Barca in knockout stages of champions League despite winning my group 😕

[Mulambo]

January/ February update....

So I somehow failed to get a screenshot of how many goals each player in the squad has but from memory these two months saw us take a giant leap towards every one getting the target of 5.

I resorted to playing defenders as strikers which resulted in our first loss of the season to St. Etienne and saw us drop below our 4 goal a game average.

This game...

Saw 3 players each hit their 5th goal of the season and saw 4 different defenders played up top over the 90 mins. 

At the end of February this is where we are at...

153 goals scored and I think just Toure (4) and Kimpbebe (spelling) (3) still to hit their targets. REALLY hoping they can avoid injuries and they can get those last few goals so I can get my forwards back up front to rack up the goals on the run in... 200 goals would be a nice target... Can we do it?

[Mulambo]

So to cut a long story short this is how it finished

[Rob]

235 goals in one season? Wow.

[BatiGoal]

Great job man, you killed it! It's 233 gls, correct? Will add you to the leaderboard.

235 I think

Thanks, I think playing in the French league made things a bit easier. Struggled in a few games where I conceded goals early and had to tinker with my tactics but overall very happy. Was hoping to average 3 goals a game so delighted to have surpassed that

Your 20 outfield players scored 233 gls tho. I think the extra two goals are own goals which are added to GF hence 235 but as we need to go by goals scored per selected player these own goals become "ghost goals" and therefore can't count towards your total.

[Mulambo]

Oh ok I  hadn't realised that OGs were counted on the manager profile screen...not could I be bothered to add up the individual goals scored
