Thanks @Kanegan but thing is with these amateur regens, some look decent but are total garbage and others perform OK but look like dead people. I have really no idea what to expect until I'm 4-5 games in.

I'm late to the party, but I would have said 81 - so that I'd have the highest (apart from Cockers 100+). I have faith... 🙌

Interesting that the regens don't do that well though. At that level they are most likely regens of the crappiest players in the game, but surely those are the same crappy players you've already been using. What makes the regens of them worse I wonder... At the top end a lot of the very best regens seem to come back with a Work Rate of 1, but more middle of the run regens are more balanced. Maybe the lower end have some sort of warping... Fascinating!

Anyway, you'red doing great. Keep going, only another 5 or 6 seasons to go...

It's weird. Apparently they're all over place. The first few were very poor but the last two, including the one I'm using right now, are good. Getting twice as many goals as the first lot. So hit and miss at this point I'm unsure whether I should tweak my game to accommodate the crap lads or keep as is for the decent dudes. 

At this rate 81 gls looks like it would've been the winning number.

- Update 31 -

 

Regen Amateur: Horacio "Hiccup" Nadjack

236 gls left to score and our next elite eye-sore is ready to shock the world. It's our third of four amateurs from the land of frogs so let's see how he managed to jump on. 

BG: Sweet Jesus! 

Horacio: What is it? 

BG: Your stats. Godawful! 

Horacio: Stats are just numbers. 

BG: Balls-dropping ugly numbers in your case. Years? 

Horacio: Seven. 

BG: Games? 

Horacio: Seven. 

BG: Goals? 

Horacio: One. 

BG: You played 7 games in 7 seasons and managed a grand total of 1 goal. You, my friend, take the fcuking cake. 

Horacio: Hence my nickname, see, it's the hiccup in my otherwise perfect record.

Two stars, what in the world??? Arguably one of the best amateurs I've seen. But can he play? 

Screenshot_20200224-185114.thumb.png.b9939149ea7d8d30804a491cc690c495.png

Yes, he can. It's a hattrick! 

Screenshot_20200224-185551.thumb.png.66bc6d712a1c2164034f1c95904fe2b4.png

And a 2nd one to make sure the first one wasn't a one-off. 

Screenshot_20200225-002733.thumb.png.daf13edb8a6dbcb0091fe571698be394.png

And a 3rd one to make sure the first two were no incidents. 

Screenshot_20200225-091407.thumb.png.8cbca735fa36eafa6c2db3834a1bf5f4.png

And a 4th one for good measure. 😂 flying!! 

Screenshot_20200225-102021.thumb.png.d07cbaccd42e4d0d530edc08e719fccc.png

Sweet return indeed. I'm baffled to be honest as nothing indicated that after the rubbish regens we encountered we'd be scoring big again. Not just big, we outscored fellow "Dutchies" V by 10 gls and Afterburner by nearly 20. And we equalled real amateur "Chip Shot's" record of 34 gls! That's a whole lot of "hiccups" from our friend. Impossible to predict what comes next as we're heading to surpass the 800-gl mark in the next update with our final Dutchie. It's also that time again to start compiling my next shortlist with a handful of amateuristic candidates.

Holy smokes. Well, my prediction is falling short. Your quartet is pulling surprises after surprises. This bodes good for the challenge. KIU.😂

What an amateur that is with 2 goals in 2 international caps. Great job!

What a player, I struggle to get that many goals from my world class strikers!

Surely the prize is in the bag now though. 

Great stuff btw! 

Thanks. After 15 seasons the team and tactics are just no match for the opposition, who seem to get weaker and weaker by the season. These Dutch amateurs are really taking advantage of that. 

Btw, looks like you're going to win the prediction and get that mysterious reward 🙂

Thanks @Foxy it's a bit of a weird career tbh. Very unlike the usual save where we set big goals and run out of time or players due to retiring etc. I suppose in this case it'd never be a case of if but rather when. So preserverance is key. I knew from the start I was always going to complete this, but I thought it be fun (for myself) to dedicate a challenge to the weakest clubs and poorest players of FMM and get to know them better.

- Update 32 -

 

Regen Amateur: Henk "The Lion" Leeuwin

Only 202 gls left to score and our next lion is ready to roar the living daylight out of every football fan. It's our fourth and last of four amateurs from the Orange nation so let's see how he managed to color on. 

BG: Love that nickname. 

Henk: Cool eh. 

BG: Yeah, so cool. Very cool. You da MAN!!!

Henk: Wow, thanks, Boss.

BG: Da Mannnn!!! You da Maaannnnnn!!! 

Henk: OK. 

BG: Man-n-n-n-n. Da da da MAAAAAAN!

Henk: You alright in the head? 

BG: Feeling roary myself, HA! So you roar, yes? 

Henk: I, well, yes. Uhm, I roar when I score. 

BG: Roar when you score? You a poet now too? 

Henk: ... 

BG: Last time I roared was in first Grade, you big scary lion you, FFS!! 

 

Screenshot_20200227-164723.thumb.png.4e739f8e0a3c6fc5478dee4aa25bbebf.png

These young regens improve quite nicely over 6 months. Decent looking lad. 

Screenshot_20200225-092402.thumb.png.f1fd991646b7d0bb1bfe33be4f059421.png

We start injured. So last lad "Hiccup" gets a few extra games till "The Lion" is ready to roar.

Screenshot_20200226-144259.thumb.png.3ddcf51ca0eb613c4c3d9d1454331080.png

The first big roar is a fact. An almost-hattrick to get the fans off their seats. 

Screenshot_20200227-084201.thumb.png.6641ed406a643ea751bac3365ce140a8.png

Injuries have been an issue throughout. Just annoying knocks to knock his form. 

Screenshot_20200227-163350.thumb.png.9ea62b85849561b359c6cdabd1d12fe7.png

Another near-hattrick. Not the roar we were hoping for but they do sound impressive. 

Screenshot_20200227-164728.thumb.png.546bf99f4222dc1aa6a777bcd9d5e23e.png

In the end it's not much compared with the previous two cheesefaces, but 18 roars will do nicely for the rollercoaster past few months. We nearly got 100 gls out of the 4 which is much more than I expected. And apparently also more than Vibe excepted, looking at the prediction table. So we're happy with the outcome and the 816 goals we managed so far. Only 184 left now to complete this challenge, so it's time to start looking at the next group of amateurs for what could be my final shortlist for this career.

I tell you what, all these pundits who say people like 'Steve Bruce', 'David Moyes', 'Alan Pardew', etc are top, top managers, nope, they need to look at 'FMM BatiGoal', what you are doing is a miracle, "all Hail BatiGoal", "all Hail BatiGoal"

Thanks @Cockers2505 put a worldclass player in a garbage system with garbage players he becomes as good as his teammates so to speak. These amateurs turn into their very best selves in my team for a few months, that's all there is to it 😁

Maybe an Amateur 1KC next.

- New Amateur Nations -

 

I proudly present you my next two lovely amateurs. The one and only simple reason being that this pair is from nations that I have yet to touch during this career, namely: Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Bulgaria 🇧🇬

So this means that we've now used amateurs from 7! different nations, incl. Denmark, Holland, Portugal, Scotland and Wales. And so long as this career runs I'll be searching the market for more unique nations with -any- players from amateurs clubs (yes, any outfield players, that's mids and defs included) to use in this career. This to make the final amateur list as diverse as I possibly can. The goal remains 1000 goals.

 

Amateur #33 - club: 🇺🇦 Tavria-Skif Rozdol

Love the club name 😂 I bet no one's heard of this one. Neither have I. Decent looking player with equally decent Movement and Shooting in the blue. The big worry tho is orange Decision-making and shit Pace. Hopefully the 19! Technique (yeah right, who's "IGE-ed" that number up???) can help this 30yo score us a few goals before his attributes rot away forever.

 

Amateur #34 - club: 🇧🇬 Akademik Sofia

Another gorgeous name of a club Vibe has never laid eyes on. But this dude's most certainly going to cause a big problem. He's no Forward, he's no Winger and he's no Attacking Midfielder. Scoring goals ain’t in this man's DNA. He is a midfielder, however, a defensive one. Love his Stamina but the orange Shooting!!! How and how many am I going to score with this lil fella? You tell me!

 

Over to you, Vibe: How many combined goals is this ST and DM from East European clubs going to award us?

I'm going to go with 42. If anyone can get an amateur like that DM scoring it's probably you! 😂

I'll sign for that number 👍 my mids aren't getting that many gls 10-ish a piece so I'm thinking of just throwing that DM up front and hope for the best. No underlying strategy whatsoever 😂

LOL, if I'd gotten in with my prediction earlier I would have won. I hope you appreciate that I had more faith in you than any of this lot! 🤣

Put me down for 49 for the next round. 

Hiccup was awesome - but I'm a little surprised that he managed to play 31 games after only 7 in 7 years. Must have been a real shock to his system...

Light intensity training is but one of the key ingredients. It's interesting to follow some of these amateurs after their pro spell at Porto. Some turn out very decent at Championship lvl clubs, others straight back to their former amateur lvl.

 

Prediction Table for Amateurs #33 & 34:

  • 49 gls - Scratch
  • 48 gls - ThomW12
  • 42 gls - Jsavfc
  • 39 gls - Kanegan
