Challenges The Race to 100 Challenge

[BatiGoal]

Dear Peoples of the Vibe, 

Thought I'd just throw in one last challenge before we're once more blessed with a brand-new version of our beloved time waste. It's one of the easier ones I've made to be frank, but I think it could be a fitting way to end the old series. Unless you're so bummed out you've deleted 19 awaiting 20. In that case this challenge could serve as a starter to get acquainted with your new FMM. 

 

- The Race to 100 Challenge - 

With his goal against Andorra back in June, Kylian Mbappé reached 100 career goals in record time at the tender age of 20yo. There are very few players in football history who reached this number of goals before they even turned 21 years old. In comparison, not even Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo had these stats at the same age, they both needed an extra year to reach the same milestone. Neymar's feat is perhaps even more incredible however, as he was 4 months younger when he slotted in his 100th before later showing off his goal-scoring skills in Europe. 

When talking about such impressive numbers, we have to go deep into professional football history to find only a handful of legends who reached this magical number before today's Football Gods. Jimmy Greaves scored his 100th career goal for Chelsea before his 21st birthday and Ronaldo scored his 100th professional goal in Holland during his first year at PSV. Pele went even a step further as he was already near the 200-goal! mark before turning 21 years old.

Can you "out-age" (not quite the ring I was looking for but I know you're still with me) the Messi's, Ronaldo's, Mbappé's and Neymar's of today and reach 100 goals at 19, 18 or even 17 years of age? Give it your best go and I'll add your boy's name to the growing list of legends of the sport. Objective is simple. It's a race from 0 to 100. Score a lot and score QUICK!

 

Twist:

I'm aware that Vibe peoples love twists so here goes; we're looking for players who have no, nada - as in 0 - gls behind their names in the original database to make the Race to 100 Goals leaderboard. Reason: it would make very little sense to this challenge to score whatever gls he starts with + 100 and end up with anything but his actual 100th career goal, so 0-100 will ALL be scored under your management. This makes certain individuals like Kean, Pellegri or Håland uneligible for this challenge as there's already a handful recorded gls on their history page. But cry not, the well of talent is bottomless, there's still bucket loads of youngsters left to pick from. And for the real hardcore heroes of this community I'm also adding a Race to 100 Assists leaderboard where the exact same rules apply but for goals assists. Any player with 0 assists on their history page at the start of the game is an eligible go, pretty much every player in the DB in that case.

Remember, he needs to hit the 100-mark before his 20th birthday! 

 

Rules:

• Unlockables: Yes, Badges: Yes, but NO cheats of any kind
• Use REAL players with 0 goals in DB for Goals Leaderboard
• Use REAL players with 0 assists in DB for Assists Leaderboard
• Goals and/or Assists in ALL competitions count
• Must be under 20yo to make either leaderboard 

Post your results in a career thread with the relevant screenshots, such as manager's profile page and player's history page (before + after) and exact calculated age (years + days), and I'll add your accomplishment below.

Questions? Feel free to ask. Goodluck!

Yes, big teams can afford those youngsters regardless but this way you may be inclined to manage (and strengthen) a smaller team instead. You basically got a larger selection of teams to choose from now and I really like that.

Nice shortish challenge, would try if I was in a long term career. Unfortunately my striker is a regen, so not allowed for this, but this could be done with most 1KCs (depending on whether the striker has scored before and of course they couldn't use the unlockables). But it seems like a great one. 

On a side note, I've been thinking about a quickest 1KC leaderboard (based on game date). This is sort of the the short version of that!

Lots of options here too. Youngest player to achieve it, oldest one, quickest one, one with most clubs behind his name. Imagine doing 100 gls with 10 clubs 👍 

[Mr Tree]

so can my lads count for this? 

both reached 100 when they were 20, and Zjawinski got 100 assists by the time he was 24...

To make the leaderboard they'll need to do better than Neymar at 20y 1month. So at 19yo or younger. You came very close.

Is using sugar daddy multiple times considered cheating?

I thought that glitch was fixed already, no? But yeah, multiple times would make it highly unrealistic.

Counting on that 👍

Bonfiglio had 140 goals by end of season 3 in my DT career mate, not sure when exactly he passed 100 in that season but worst case you could class it as end of season so he was 19 and 4 months. Started on 0 goals.

OK, will add him in a moment. If you find a screenshot closer to the 100 mark I'm happy to update his age. It'll have to be 19y 4mts. Looks like he could've been 18y.

[BatiGoal]

Leaderboard update. Congrats @smoggy90 👍 

[smoggy90]

Thanks Bati, sadly i don't have any further screenshots during the course of that season so 19yr 4mts will have to be his age.

Looks like Woody has beaten that with same guy in his China career.

Won't last long tho as FMM20 is around the corner and I expect the two of you to battle it out for top spot once more 😉 

Leaderboard updated! Congrats @Woody

Someone will have to grab 100 goals in less than two seasons which ain’t easy. You’ve set the bar mate!
