17 goals this time around, his lowest total since season 6.

 

Josh Sargent

A major drop with 39 goals but he has turned 36 now and there is another reason:

I tried to take a shot at the John Charles Challenge by retraining my defender son:

but he has completely pissed on it and after 2 full seasons of him playing in Wright's position, he has been very slow:

Only 34 goals in 2 seasons. At this rate, i need to play the full 30 seasons to get him to cross 385 goals which i really don't want to. So, i am scrapping this and powering Sargent to lead from the front in his last 2 seasons to see how many he gets.

 

CHALLENGE UPDATE

He crosses 1000 club goals and is just 4 short of 350 intl. goals. 2 seasons left for this career to finish. 119 goals to go for 1.5KC which is the target i will be aiming for.

 

Thanks for following and any feedback is appreciated.

Hopefully. He needs to hit 60 for the last 2 seasons and with him rapidly deteriorating stats, i just hope he can make it.

13 goals for this season.

 

Josh Sargent

Another major drop in goals which is understandable given his age but with a total haul of just 49 goals, we were in trouble as this meant we needed a staggering 71 goals in last season but there were some good news:

 

Sargent reconsidered his retirement and extended for another season which means we still have 2 seasons to chalk up the target.

 

CHALLENGE UPDATE

So, he crosses 1400 goals and now requires 70 goals for 1.5K but as mentioned earlier, he has extended for another season so we still got 2 which means 35 per season but with his physical attributes diminished beyond recognition, this will be a close finish.

 

Thanks for following and any feedback is appreciated.

[Ian]

He’s doing fantastic for a 37 year old and hopefully he can keep going for a couple more years but regardless he’s still done great!

[Kanegan]

Cheers mate. Even though I would love to get him to 1.5K, nevertheless I will still be very happy even if he doesn't.

In what is his last world cup, Sargent showed why he is a legend in the major tournaments as he turned back time once again to hit 8 goals en route to us reaching the final but we missed out on the hattrick of world title. Total 10 goals this season.

 

Josh Sargent

26 goals at 38 yrs of age. Still pretty good i would say.

 

CHALLENGE UPDATE

So, with 34 goals required in the final season at 39 years of age, we hope he crosses the line.

Great season and good luck in the final one.

Season 21

So, with the last season on the cards, Sargent required 34 goals for 1.5K.

Season History

After 9 successive CL triumphs, we finally lose in the final to Real Madrid which also broke our run of 65 unbeaten games. This is my score now for the Champions Streak Challenge. We also managed an unbeaten league campaign.

Another impressive 13 intl. goals in his last season which takes his total int. goals to 382. Freaking impressive which means i take the top spot in the 200 International Goal Challenge although @Rob's Geubbels is going insane so my spot may well be very short-lived. 

It also meant that he needed 21 goals from his club season to achieve the 1.5K. Can he do it??

First, let us look at his final attributes:

Josh Sargent

Ouch, it was painful to watch Sargent like this but he still lasted the entire season. Amazing.

 

His final stats:

He bloody well does it. 27 goals was enough to cross the 1.5K. Take a bow mate, take a bow.

 

CHALLENGE UPDATE

So, here is the final stats. He finishes with 1506 goals and 382 intl. goals.

@Foxy, mate, if you can add it to the respective leaderboards.

Thoughts

This was my first DT attempt and i am pretty happy with the score posted and also i managed the 1.5K with Sargent. If anybody is looking for a candidate other than Fabio Silva, Geubbels or Pellegri for a 1.5K or even 2K, Sargent is the man, provided you get the USA job as he is a beast in international tournaments. 

Also, in hindsight, if i would have left him alone at the top 2 seasons earlier instead of trying to retrain my son to fill in Wright's boots, then perhaps 1.5K would not have been that much of a struggle as it became in the end but the more you play, the more you learn i guess. In the end, all's well that ends well so everything came good at the finish line.

 

What's next

I have my eyes on the Triple Crown. So, i have completed 1KC with an Asian player in Holland & England and now the DT with North American players in Portugal. So, continuing my continental diversification, next up will be an African TT. The wheels have already been set in motion but expect a sizeable gap before i start again.

 

Thanks to everyone who followed and commented, especially @Ian, @smoggy90, @Ran7777, @darlingtonvii, @Rob, @Mr Tree Sorry if i missed anybody.

Thanks for following again and any closing comment is appreciated.

[Ian]

Fabulous career and some fantastic numbers. Sargent has been a revelation and still did well in the final couple of seasons with such horrible physical attributes.

Well done, I've enjoyed following it all and good luck with your triple threat.

Thanks Robster. I have always enjoyed your support and you have had some amazing ones this year as well, and your current Geubbels one is looking good to break records left, right and centre. KIU 

[smoggy90]

Awesome achievement mate well done!

Glad he got those goals in the last season to get you over the line. 382 int goals is insane!

[broodje kip]

Well done mate!

Hope those upcoming African boys would bring you success for your place in the Triple Crown👍
