Value gone up in smoke as he's missed the window 👎

Update 13 -

 

Amateur Player 13: Philip Stoustrup "Sitter"

With 27 goals our dear "Pea roller" didn't do as bad a job as many expected. That's 312 in the pocket and 688 remaining to be pocketed. Portugal has got an abundance (well, all things considered of course) of decent amateur lads so in this nation we stay. Next Amateur Player -> from club: Atlético Riachense - player #13: Philip Stoustrup "Sitter". 

Philip: Are you going to ask? 

BG: What's that, mate? 

Philip: My nickname. 

BG: Don't wanna hear it. 

Philip: Let me tell you anyways. 

BG: Not interested. 

Philip: It isn't what you think. 

BG: It never is. 

Philip: Seriously, I can explain. 

BG: You're a shitawful player, done, explained. 

Philip: No but it's not my.. 

BG: Shut your hole and speed to the training grounds. 

Philip: Yes, Boss. 

BG: And happy fucking new year!!

First player to actually have become worse under my guidance. Peaking age, great training facilities, top level coaches, awesomely good team players. Still he drilled his skills, my God this guy is as good as a puddle of buffalo piss.

First game of the campaign for "Sitter" and apart from missing numerous sitters he added one to win the CWC. OK, I'm listening.. I mean watching.. 

Screenshot_20191229-214937.thumb.png.76c507e41967a00a78210c8811c67890.png

A hattrick, what... Wait... Why.... Who... OK I'm speechless.

How??... When... Geez.. Maybe I should've let him explain that nickname. 

Screenshot_20191230-150147.thumb.png.970bc27f6b7013cb835ea36c2fb42a3a.png

Rival down. "Sitter" is on his way to beat "Pea roller's" score if he keeps up this pace. 

Screenshot_20191231-004820.thumb.png.fe9bef67fca32d85924de1cedf712a5f.png

Arch rival down. Nothing feels as satisfying as winning a derby match. Could we maybe even reach the 30 gls? Been too long for my liking. 

Screenshot_20191231-011403.thumb.png.17a4892b0dff09c9efd62aaeb5ea601a.png

Yup to beating "Pea roller" but no 30 gls again. Only a few amateur boys managed that feat so we'll hope our next talentless hero brings us the joy the fans crave for. 28 out of 29 are respectable numbers as far as I'm concerned. Let's keep these stones rolling and off to player #14 we go..

I feel like you've really found your level now, managing amateurs that will actually listen to you... :P

Anyway, you are working wonders here. Not sure how, but you're doing a great job every time (except maybe The Nutmeg and that wasn't too bad) and well on your way to the 1KC.

The only sign of weakness is in the nicknames... Not getting them to explain any more? Might be a sign that you're running out of options...

It's so discouraging to see those nicknames let alone to hear what they actually mean in detail. And the pride these amateurs take in them, unbelievable. Don't come near 'em Scratch. Don't do it!

Update 14 -

 

Amateur Player 14: José "Jaded" Peixoto

"Sitter" left the club with 28 gls which is 2 under our desired 30 but still a good 8 above the minimum we'd like to see. So things are still ticking along nicely at the club and in this career. As things stand we're on 340 gls banged in and 660 gls yet to be banged in. Still got a nice lineup of Portuguese amateurs shortlisted so in Portugal we remain. Next Amateur Player -> from club: Alta de Lisboa - player #14: José "Jaded" Peixoto. 

BG: Jaded? 

José: Bored. 

BG: ok. 

José: Life's just boring. 

BG: I see. 

José: Tired. 

BG: Tired? 

José: yeah, permanently tired. 

BG: Can I have that contract back? 

José: Signed already. Sorry. 

BG: Any other surprises for me? 

José: Severly lacking enthusiasm, Boss. 

BG: FFS! I know what we'll do. Follow me.

José: What're we doing on this bridge for, Boss? 

BG: Jump.

No changes whatsoever. No news is good news, no? Not exactly in this scenario but what the heck, let's remain super optimistic and see what this "Jaded" guy's got in store for us. Yeah, I know what you're wondering. He never jumped. I did try to throw him off but he anticipated well. Hopefully a skill he puts to good use on the pitch as well. 

Screenshot_20200101-205146.thumb.png.3c518b0730116e3ecdb921b7fab3b4f0.png

No player decided to show up for this game except "Jaded". Now that is certainly the attitude I didn't expect to see from this lad. Promising start.. 

Screenshot_20200101-210149.thumb.png.5a0d8c686375fa1728154fec9b14418c.png

Portuguese League Cup win. And our guy on the scoresheet. He left it super late but it's in alright. 

Screenshot_20200102-114023.thumb.png.e00b1d90021ea0cdaaea7124507c4972.png

Big win over our main rivals and again our guy chipping in with a goal. No lack of enthusiasm for big games apparently. 

Screenshot_20200103-120852.thumb.png.257f49560659ee858fd4a38e9b44f9e3.png

Portuguese Cup win and it's once again "Jaded" stepping up to the plate. He's making himself a big-game player, oh my!! 

Screenshot_20200103-121905.thumb.png.bdcdc2ed5b11893d61050979b48dd518.png

Winning all finals we've entered as well as a perfect run in the league with nothing but wins, this is till now our best campaign. 7 trophies added to the club's cabinet 👍 

Screenshot_20200103-071952.thumb.png.4ad79f87accb910c33edade10faafc00.png

"Pea roller" and "Jaded" leading the goalscorers chart. How's that for a bunch of amateurs. Take that you "professionals".

Screenshot_20200103-121948.thumb.png.e1a56ac13ff837c145c2954118ed9e91.png

29 goals. I believe he never missed a game, thanks to his 16 stamina number, so all those minutes on the grass paid off. We'll take it a player at the time, and eventually it'll bring us to that finishline. No time to waste.. player #15 has already signed for the club and showing a lot more motivation than "Jaded" ever did during his entire spell.

I’ve missed a few of these but things seem to be going well. Jaded was a success I’d say considering his attributes but as you say his high stamina probably aided him.

Update 15 -

 

Amateur Player 15: "Yodeler" Younes Christiansen

With "Jaded" getting us as close as we possibly could to the 30 gls I thought maybe this time we could hit that number again. It would give us a big jump towards the ultimate 1000. As things stand we're on 369 gls netted and 631 gls yet to be netted. After 5 Portuguese lads in a row I feel now is the time to move to another nation; Denmark. Next Amateur Player -> from club: Roskilde KFUM - player #15: "Yodeler" Younes Christiansen. 

BG: Pls don't tell me you yodel.

Younes: I kinda yodel. 

BG: I was falsely hoping for some kind of explanation. 

Younes: Nope, I yodel after scoring a goal.

BG: FFS, I can tell this ain't even a joke. 

Younes: I'm one of the best at it. 

BG: Scoring or yodeling?

Younes: hahaha, good one, Boss. 

BG: Younes, I'm truly embarrassed even having this conversation. 

Younes: A stadium gives a great echo effect due to its design, especially this wonderful 100.000 seater AmateurenA. 

BG: That release option is staring at me. 

Younes: But I can't deny our fans my God given vocals. 

BG: Give us your God given footballing skills instead. 

Younes: None present, I'm afraid. 

BG: Can I ask, Younes, what the grand fuck are you even doing here? 

Younes: Wasting your time, Boss. 

BG: We agree on something.

Surprisingly this, this.. "Yodeler" improved quite nicely after half a season with us. Most notably Pace, Movement and Shooting. And a few other minor bumps as well. This is one of the few amateurs that could possibly succeed in a higher division than he was before we signed him. 

Screenshot_20200103-143831.thumb.png.f1a566ddf441f6a78a96f501d55868d5.png

Then the inevitable happened. Injuries have been kind to us thus far so this was a matter of time. In half a season this stings. 

Screenshot_20200104-002944.thumb.png.e61c3991f34bb30046ff4bc1366a5252.png

He missed pre-season training + the first 7 competitive games. It shows. Little to work with.

Screenshot_20200104-011931.thumb.png.b71711d16556a9a1c2a81c93d23675c6.png

September - not jaw dropping but not the worst either. Decent enough after a long spell out netting 5 gls. 

Screenshot_20200104-082333.thumb.png.1bcfc92d41258967d5498dcbc17ce09c.png

October - main plan is keeping him on the grass for plenty of yodels. We're on 11 yodels at this point. 

Screenshot_20200104-122648.thumb.png.a9af2ca2f81cc4618b144ab4d2e1dd0e.png

November - no injuries or little knocks so there's a reasonable chance to make up for some of the lost time. 18 goals. Good, all things considered. 

Screenshot_20200104-180452.thumb.png.c85cb53a2725b0e0ba53a7aa7e8b6e18.png

December - Not touching the tally "Jaded" gave us but we end this yodeling run in fair fashion. 

Screenshot_20200104-180521.thumb.png.e1ef72922976f9f23277548c250eb092.png

25 goals. Wouldn't have signed for it at the start but I'm quite happy with this number. Would've hit 30 if it wasn't for that unfortunate injury. Ah well, guess we made the most of the 23 games we got. And "Yodeler" yodeled the shit out of the AmateurenA 😂

Yodeler bringing his yodels for you. Good stuff. You have long been ignoring Wales. I say the next few updates should be from Wales.

You're right. Not ignoring tho, just terrible amateurs over there 😂 My shortlist's got two guys left on it before I start filling it up again. Portugal and Scotland are next, and I'll make sure to bring Wales a visit again.

Amateur Player 16: "Epic" Edson Carvalho

"Yodeler" gave the fans 25 incredible yodels, but I'm happy I don't have to listen to that shit no more. So with him out it was time to find ourselves a brand new amateur for more goals. As things stand we're on 394 gls accounted for and 606 gls unaccounted for. Reveal time... Next Amateur Player -> from Portuguese club: CD Sobrado - player #16: "Epic" Edson Carvalho. 

BG: "Epic" Edson? Really? 

Edson: Yes. 

BG: Epic! 

Edson: yes? 

BG: This way, mate...... look over there, to your left. See that guy? 

Edson: There's no one stan...

BG: Other left, imbecile! 

Edson: oh, geez, he just smashed in a 40-yarder!!

BG: Fabio Silva. 

Edson: Shit, that guy there cut inside, dribbled past 3 defenders and chipped the ball over the goalie, wtf? 

BG: Mason Greenwood. 

Edson: A blind pass, wow, fucking wow, never seen a blind pass in my life!

BG: Kai Havertz. 

Edson: OMFG! I could swear he nearly touched the clouds. Never seen a guy jump that high. And the finishing header. Epic! 

BG: Epic indeed, that's Erling Haaland. 

Edson: These guys. They're worldclass. 

BG: You sure you want to call yourself "Epic" around these guys, Edson? 

Edson: You couldn't have done a better job ruining my confidence, Boss, but I'm kinda attached to "Epic" tho, you see. 

BG: How about "Almost Epic". 

Edson: cool 👍

Crossing +1, Dribbling +1, Passing +1, Shooting +2, Tackling +1, Technique +1, Decisions +1, Movement +1, Positioning +1, but damn physicals wouldn't budge. Overall +10 skill points is nice considering the time period as well as the level of talent of... "Almost Epic". 

Screenshot_20200105-004314.thumb.png.2d62c5d36ddfe7cbf22073f38b927fc1.png

It's in!!! Carvalho scores!!! At least someone seems to be excited. Decent goal I guess, 31 sec into his debut. Nice way to start his life with the "Epics". 

Screenshot_20200105-184215.thumb.png.7730ee5702365c803c6e65b9f8491a10.png

Edson Carvalho scores!!! Yup, it's in alright. Number 22 did it again. Wasn't a particularly difficult ball to tap in tho. Nothing Epic about that one. 

Screenshot_20200106-121613.thumb.png.748a019c16c81a57d1ae067233cc300c.png

FCP vs FCP. So.. who am I today? Shit they equalized or yes we're even... Ah... Carvalho scores!!! That's our "Almost Epic" friend. So much for loading selection and hoping for the best. I gotta pay attention during games now?

Screenshot_20200106-210008.thumb.png.dd19d1b656b4c2f53b139dedf55648f0.png

Carvalho is the scorer!!! OK, this I do like. Just when 0-0 was looking like our end result we steal it late on, with an undeserved penalty, by an undeserved name. I'm undeservedly happy! 

Screenshot_20200107-011331.thumb.png.491374c3ff21d5b4e330ce786fe9f6a3.png

Carvalho is the scor.. wait a fekking minute. Sent off in the CL final? Gotta be shitting me, Edson, you worthless being. Months ago playing on rotting grass for literally a handful of unentertained parents in a "stadium" that resembles a dung-filled barn more than anything else. And now on the biggest stage of the world... Tranfser listed + sold even before we finished the subsequent penalty show 😂 

Screenshot_20200107-010733.thumb.png.e8c1d7f422c5ced9e5454ea5db61b693.png

26 goals. That's "Yodeler's" tally +1. Can't say I'm not disappointed. We got a good amount of games so I was hoping for 30 gls, which I haven't achieved in quite a few updates now. But our guy was just too poor at what he was attempting to be, simple as that. A legendary manager like myself can only do so much. We've reached the 400-mark, that's the positive side of things.

Moving on to Scotland for our next faceless amateur..

Amateur Player 17: Davie" Dummy Runner" Galt

"Almost Epic" gave the fans 26 goals that were almost, very almost of epic nature - so close yet so far - and brings our standings in this challenge to 420 gls smashed in and 580 gls yet to be smashed in. Slightly pressed for time atm so let's fast-forward to reveal time... Next Amateur Player -> from Scottish club, only the 2nd of this career: Pontypridd Town - player #17: Davie "Dummy Runner" Galt.

BG: Listen, I need you to quit those dummy runs. 

Davie: Boss, I make off-the-ball runs to create.. 

BG: ..space, I know but listen.. 

Davie:.. it's for my teammates who have the ball, Boss. 

 BG: Yes, great, but listen.. 

Davie:.. it's a trick I use, see.

BG: Davie, you need to listen FFS, I need you to.. 

Davie: ..pretend, I know, to pretend to move towards the ball. 

BG: OK, I'll wait it out, have your moronic say. 

Davie: ..and then step aside, see..

BG: mutter mutter - F#$&%¿K me from all angles!!! 

Davie:.. and voila, my teammates score. G-o-o-a-a-l-l-l !!!!! 

BG:...

Davie: That's a Dummy Run. I'm a world-class Dummy Runner. 

BG:... 

Davie: Boss? 

BG:... 

Davie: Boss! 

BG: Fucking done? 

Davie: Done. 

BG: I can't have you running like an idiot! 

Davie: Like a dummy. Why? 

BG: I need you to score goals for this challenge I'm doing. Got it?

Davie: Am I the star in your challenge? 

BG: Unfortunately so. 

Davie: Wow, you should've told me from the start, Boss, would've saved me all that time explaining.

BG: Oh boy, If only murder was legal...

Crossing, Dribbling, Passing, Shooting, Tackling, Creativity, Leadership and Positioning all +1, Decisions and Movement +2, good ups in the limited time. But again those damn Physicals wouldn't budge. It's hard getting my amateurs to up these essential attributes. The worry is that if I stuff my staff with fitness coaches only, the Technical and Mental skills stagnate. Sigh, choices. Anyway, overall +12 skill points is nice all things considered.

Just like his predecessor "Almost Epic", he scores on his debut in the very first minute of the game. Seen this before so we're remaining cautiously optimistic.

Brace in! Who cares where when and how it's scored. Dumbing down on the dummy runs has brought our "Dummy Runner" gls x2.

Monumental win for The Dragons of Portugal. A missed penalty denies our hero his first hattrick, but a classy recovery with a brace finally earns him the respect of his teammates.

Yuck, another missed opportunity from the spotkick. Great character shown with the comeback. However, an unnecessary dummy run led to the unfortunate double ankle injury and our friend is out for weeks. F#$&k.

"Dummy Runner" only managed a handful of games after his injury spell but struggled to even remotely regain form. He wasn't at all the player he once was in his first few months, which totally screwed his goal tally as well as our chances of hitting 30. In fact, he equalled his fellow Scot, and the worst return this career has seen; 19 goals. That's very disappointing cause it was looking really promising for everyone. That's all part of the show, tho, no time to dwell on the "should'ves" and "could'ves". You fall - you get right up! 

Moving on to our next heroic amateur in Update 18..
