I wouldn't expect much mate. I don't really see things kicking off until thry are 20. The Rule of Bati states any goal before 20 is a bonus.

True dat.

‘True dat’. I’m going to say that to my missus next time she makes a serious point.

Thanks. It’s difficult when they aren’t so good!

[Scratch]

Who the heck are those clowns? Never heard of any of them! 😄

You sure made up for it with the rest of your squad though, it's sort of like infinity war. 😮

Anyway, good solid start, I reckon you'll crush this...

Thanks. I love the infinity war comparison 😭 I do very much have a transfer plan ahead. I’ve planned a LOT of this out in a borderline OCD way 🙄

Season Two

Transfers:

Manager:

Players:

73 goals. Chuffed with that. An improvement. Two of the boys have just turned 19; the other is 18. 137 goals in total towards my target of 200 by the end of season 3. A better club season too. 

Zarzana is my big hope was assists too (he is the younger of the three), and his assists picked up a bit this year too.

Thanks for reading.

I see you’ve brought your old foe Felix in!

Thanks pal. It's all about growing a little each season.

[Woody]

Superb Robstar.

Looking good and should easily hit that 200. 👍

[Scratch]

Yeah looking good, no worries with the 200, full steam ahead. How are they developing? 

[Kanegan]

200 should be easily achievable. How do their stats look like?? 

[ManlikeReus]

Thank.

I will post season 3, with player attributes, later on tonight or tomorrow. Two of the boys are 20 at that point; the other 19.

Season Three

Transfers:

Manager:

Players:

Another improvement of goals, with 200 bypassed at the end of season 3. I want 500 by the end of season 6 next. Zarzana’s assists picked up too.

The bit people are waiting for - screens of the players - will be next.

Thanks for reading.

Player attributes update

As we are now three seasons in, let’s see how the players look.

I started off this challenge with Eyibil as my preferred player, so let’s begin with him.

He signed for £1.3m and looked like this:

Three years on and he is now 20. Like the other two I trained him hard. He is now £48.5m and has some lovely greens, but a shame about his physicals.

Zarzana was my freebie. He is 19 now and I’ve set him as my main assister. This was him before:

And this is him now:

£51m of sexy. Greens in most of the right areas. I love him.

Duku was signed for £525k. This was him to start:

As for now? Well he is my favourite:

£58m of pure unadulterated yumminess. I love him too.

Due to their improvements I have switched around their importance to me. Duku is now my favourite, followed by Zarzana, then Eyibil. I feel a bit bad, but that’s player development for you.

£1.8m is now £158m three seasons later. Madness.

Thanks for reading - I hope that’s of interest to a few of you.

[FuddledFox]

That is some nice development and you have 3 gems there I think.

A LOT of scouting and prep work went in to it, mind you, but I never expected them to look as good as they do. At the end of the third season they just improved massively. It’s like there is a blocker built in to the game to stop them improving until that point. 

[Ian]

It’s nice to see the before and after shots together like that so you can really see the development. 

Three great looking players now.

[Kanegan]

Wow that's some development in three years!!!  Great job

Thanks. I think that’s it in terms of development except for the physicals.

Fantastic work rob and great to see those players develop, especially as they’re unknowns to most of us.

Thanks. I think they’d deffo do jobs as supports in other career.

Season Four

Transfers:

Manager:

Players:

109 goals this time. The squad is immense now and we are winning pretty much everything. 

327 goals to date.

72 assists for Zarzana.

This lad looks sexy. Anyone know whose regen he may be?

Thanks for reading.

[Rob]

Season Five

Transfers:

I forgot to do transfers, duh. But we are PSG and we can sign whoever we want, so just imagine we signed anyone. We got Pele out of retirement. 

Manager:

Players:

109 goals again. Not entirely sure what I think of that. I do have to remind myself that the boys cost peanuts. Zarzana got 36 assists this year, mind you, which is funky.

108 assists; the lad is 21.

More importantly, this happened:

France job. Duku plays for France. He has zero goals to start with:

I now want to try and get on the leaderboard for the international goals thing. 200 is needed. I’ve found my Strikerless formation doesn’t work well internationally... so this could be a disaster.  

Thanks for reading.

[Ian]

Great couple of seasons there, I to have had difficulty getting my systems to work internationally so I wish you luck.😀

[FuddledFox]

Making it look easy!!!

Good luck with the France job I’m sure Duku will get you on the board.
