Career Kanegan v/s Damilare - H2H (back for the second time)

[Kanegan]

Last year we did this, it became a sleeper hit. Hosted by the ever true Vulpini @Foxy, it started a mad rush towards the The Slab Head Brothers Challenge and we even got nominated in the Vibe Awards.

So, we are back with the second edition and this time we do it differently.

Combining the two challenges:

 

This is the Promotion Wars.

Rules:

1.  This will be a 10 season long event .

2. We will start with a lower division league team in any league and we need to get them promoted.

3. We resign after the season and take another job in another lower division league and this will continue till we have completed 10 seasons.

4.  Points:

     a) League Points + GD will be our base points every season.

     b) Winning the league outright gets us 10 points

     c) Any cup wins gets us 5 points

     d) Every award wins us 5 points including Manager award and Golden Boot

     e) The highest individual goalscorer and the highest assists among the two of us nets one of us 5 bonus points for each.

     f) Failing to win promotion means 20 points are deducted from our total.

 

That's it. So, @Damilare, channel your inner Neil Warnock and may the best man win.

Thanks guys for all the comments. This will be diametrically opposite to my current Liverpool career so it will be fun to fluctuate between the two. Will shortly post our updates in a day or two.

[Damilare]

This challenge has been divided in 3 rounds:

First round : league 2 to league 1 in england,National to DL2 in France,SD2 to SD1 in Spain and BL2 to BL1 in Germany

Great 1st season mate but your cup points are wrong. Those points are for Cup trophy win and not for Cup rounds passed although we can change that if you want @Damilare

Nice first season and good total mate👏👏

[Kanegan]

Ok after @Damilare posts a great total, it's now my turn. So, i went to the Kingdom of Spain and hit the random pick button and too my surprise got a good team with a great bit of history. The 6 time Copa del Rey winners and the 1995 Cup Winner's Cup champion:

REAL ZARAGOZA

 

So, let's see how we got going:

League Performance:

We got promoted so no negative points for me in the 1st season but couldn't win the league as the monster i.e Malaga steamrolled through the league. So, 10 points dropped there.

 

Of course our two J's, Jeison Medina and Javi Espinosa leading in goals and assists category.

 

So, Golden Boot comfortably won.

 

Cup Runs and Notable Match

Spoiler

We had to face the mighty Barcelona in the 4th round and we managed to put up a fantastic performance across 2 legs losing 2-1 in our home while holding them 1-1 at Camp Nou. The only hattrick of Medina came in a 4-4 draw with Coruna.

 

So, our top goalscorer:

 

Our top assist man:

 

So, here is the season 1 results:

@Damilare - 138

@Kanegan - 129 (88+26 + 5 (Golden Boot) + 5 (Highest Goalscorer) + 5 (Top Assist Man))

There you go.

@Damilare leads 138 - 129 going into season 2 of Round 1.

Well played.

[Damilare]

Great score mate!!! Now we move to another country....

[Gunners Rishi]

Great scores from both, but Damilare’s started with perhaps the easiest promotion but it paid off, great lead just keep it up!

[Damilare]

Second update for round 1 coming soon!!!!

[Kanegan]

Season 2

Ok, so we head into Season 2 (technically my season 3 as one full season went in getting the desired job) of this H2H as we move on to he great county of Lancashire and the League 2 club:

So, firstly transfers:

So, we rely only on free transfers and loanees for strengthening our team.

 

League Performance:

Finally we win a title and 10 points are secured. We started the season badly as we lost 4 of our first 6 matches but a tactical switch and a change of personnel later, we started the ball rolling and ended up winning the season overcoming Oxford and Carlisle. 

We exited the FA Cup and Carabao Cup pretty early but Checkatrade Trophy was an absolute marvel:

Spoiler

 

We won the cup after a giant killing run including League 1 sides Shrewsbury and Lincoln and Championship side Wigan. So, 5 more points secured.

Awards

I got the MOTY while Jason Oswell takes the Golden Boot and POTY giving me 5x3 = 15 points in total.

 

And Jason Oswell showed his complete performance topping the team in both goals and assists.

So, 43 goals and 12 assists scored by the man.

 

Season score:

League points + GD - 88+31 = 119 points

League title - 10 points

Cup - 5 points

Awards - 15 points

Top goalscorer - 43 goals

Top assists - 12 assist

Total = 149 points

 

@Damilare, you are up next.

[Damilare]

Really smashing score @Kanegan,you made the league look very easy....

Following my resignation at FC koln,I got employed in FRANCE at FC BASTIA-BORGO who are in pursuit for promotion from the French National league..

This is how the season went:

We did quite well in the league scoring 72 goals but conceding a large amount of 42 goals...

 

I had to make lot of transfers because I met a team that was not appealing to the eye...

My striker trio scored 70 goals and had 38 assist in total...

Top assister was also one of my strikers with 15 assists...

Top goalscorer award....My trio were the top 3 goalscorers in the season...

Top assist award...

 

POINTS:

League point + G.D. : 30+67= 97 points

League title: 10 points

Awards: 10 points

Total: 117 points

@Kanegan gets 5 bonus point for winning highest goalscorer award..

Round 1 Season 3

So, after my exploits in England and France, for my third club i went to France and took charge of the second oldest club in the country:

I took charge of the club for just three games before the new season arrived:

 

League Performance

 

Notable Matches & Cup Runs

We managed a fantastic run in the French Cup, going till the semis aided by some easy matches but PSG stopped our march.

 

Awards

Letter J continue to work for me as this is the third player whose name starts with J  who wins the Golden Boot.

Our Main Man,

 

H2H Update:

@Damilare - 98+58+10(League Title)+ 10( 5x2 for 2 awards) - 176

@Kanegan - 77+35+10(League Title) + 5(5x1 for 1 award) + 5(Top goalscorer) + 5 (Top assist man) - 137

@Damilare leads 431 - 420 @Kanegan with 1 season remaining in Round 1.

[Kanegan]

Round 1 Season 4

Sorry for the long wait everyone as we were both a little busy with our professional lives. So, but here we are again. So, i needed to round off in Germany to finish this round while @Damilare got to finish in Spain. Advantage Nigerian. I got the job with a decent club:

So, i needed a big big season if we are to compete in this round as the sheer amount of games difference between the German and the Spanish league makes it an almost impossible task.

 

League Performance

We actually managed an unbeaten season. Unbelievable, first time in this H2H i got that. The no. of goals scored were drastically low but my defence was the standout. Still, 11 draws were a bit too much and i was hoping to get some more points in the league.

 

Cup Run

Spoiler

After a run of 34 unbeaten games, finally we succumbed to the mighty Bayern in the German Cup semis.

 

Nowhere near the Golden Boot award as my chosen striker got injured for about 3 months and my other back up strikers were complete shit.

 

Top Goalscorer

 

Top Assist Man

 

So, Season Total - 80+38 + 10(League Title) - 128 points

Round Total - 420+128 - 548 points

So, 4 out of 4 promotions and an unbeaten league campaign to end the 1st round.

So, @Damilare, you are up next. Finish strong.

 

[Damilare]

Round 1 season 4

[Kanegan]

I don't think @Damilare wants to continue this anymore as he has not responded in two weeks so @Foxy mate, if you can add my 6 promotions to the Neil Warnock leaderboard. Thanks.
