Challenges The Striker Peak Years Challenge

[FuddledFox]

The Striker Peak Years Challenge 

 

It is widely regarded that attacking players are at there peak during there mid 20’s and into there early 30’s. There are of course exceptions with players having there best years younger or late bloomers as well but this challenge is all about getting the best out of your players when they are (hopefully) at there physical peak.

I was taking a look at the Challenge Indexes from the last 3 years and noticed a lack of challenges that you can use strikers in there mid 20s for. There are a few especially those that are based around the careers of past legends but they tend to be restricted by nationality so I thought I would create a challenge specifically for players during there 20s and early 30s that enables you to play as any club and use any players.

The Challenge 

 

• This challenge lasts 5 season, no more, no less. It must be the first 5 seasons in the game as well so you can’t play a few seasons and then start.
• Your chosen player or players must be between the ages of 24 and 29 when you play your first competitive match.
• Your chosen player can play any position you want and be natural in any positions you want.
• You can manage any playable team in the game you wish so long as you use an unedited DB.
• Only goals under your management count and ITN goals aren’t counted for this challenge.
• You can also combine players for the multi players leaderboards up to a team of 4 players but they must all meet the age requirements.
• No edited DB’s, IGE, reloading or cheating in any way.
• No unlockables except you may have any coaching badge and reputation you wish.
• Proof is required in the shape of screenshots, including his age at the beginning of the save and history to prove goals scored before you start. The best thing is to start a career thread so we can follow your progress.

Points 

Your player will be judged on all his goal contributions during the 5 years in all competitions for your club.

Goals + assists = your score

For the multi player leaderboards it is goals + assists from all your chosen players combined.

Leaderboards

 

There are lots of obvious player choices for this challenge and as the rules state you are welcome to use whoever you wish but I also want to encourage some more original choices as well which is why there is 3 leaderboards for this challenge. All players used will be eligible for the overall leaderboard and then they could also qualify for the Uncapped Player and Non Striker leaderboards as well if they meet the criteria.

I have also added leaderboards for those of us that want to use a number of players in the attempt. Each individual player will be eligible for the overall leaderboard and the other two individual ones if they meet the criteria but you can also combine there scores for multiple player leaderboards as well.

* = OME used.

Interesting challenge. Having 3 leaderboard will add some more challenge too.

[Seth Anacondas]

Aleksandar Mitrovic (Overall)

Birth date is 16th September 1994, so would be 24 years and 11 months old at the start of Season 1.

 

Results:

Season 1 - 23 + 8 = 31

2 - 19 + 5 = 24

3 - 13 + 8 = 21

4 - 19 + 9 = 28

5 -  17 + 2 = 19

 

All in all, Mitrovic had 91 goals and 32 assists, giving him 123 points.

[broodje kip]

Got Gonzalo Martinez who starts at 26 y/o while doing my Battle of the Boss career.

132 assist and 69 goals which means 201pts

Here’s prove of his age at season one:

[Titjes]

Can you do multiple players at once? 3 or 4 up front?

I hope so as I think that might be what I do.

It’s only goals scored under your management and he already has 30 at the start of the save so he actually scored 39 gls + 132 assists = 171pts.

😂I forgot abou that

[FuddledFox]

@Titjes comment (and the fact it’s what I am doing) about using multiple players at once has inspired me to add multi player leaderboards up to 4 players combined. All the players must start the save within the 24-29 age bracket and they will also be eligible for the other three individual leaderboards as well so long as they meet the criteria.

You can never have too many leaderboards so why not have 6 for one challenge 

[Ian]

Nice challenge and I guess I’m going to have to give it a go.

[smoggy90]

Hi @Foxy, if you do the 4 player challenge can you for example choose your peak striker, then two wingers and an AMC? Providing they are the correct age etc. 
Or does it need to be 3 peak strikers and an AMC?

Whatever happens, he’ll create another leaderboard for it.

None of them need to be or play as strikers if you don’t want them to. The striker in the title of the challenge is a bit misleading as you can use any players you want in any positions you want for this challenge so long as they are the correct age.

I only created them if it suits me to do so.

Nice Challenge! Though I'm 90% certain I will create a very similar (but subtly different) challenge to this one. Whoops! 😯

I've already started a career based on my concept and my striker doesn't meet the qualifications for this one (he's about 4 months too young). It's too late now change now, so I'll push on and probably create the challenge to go with it. It will be similar, but with differences: players can be any age and it'll be straight up scores from the first 5 seasons (one leaderboard for goals and one for assists). Basically it'll be the 5 season version of the 1KC and Assists 1KC. 

Anyway, clever players will be able to target both this one and mine at the same time, so I might try doing both next time around.

 

[FuddledFox]

Here’s my attempt at the overall, non striker, uncapped and three players combined leaderboards.

 

[AdamNufc]

@Foxy Can this challenge be done in the same save as a 1KC attempt? 

Id want to use Pogba for the Strikers Peak ( for first 5 seasons of the save ) and Mason Greenwood for the 1KC in the same save

Yep you can do that.

Brilliant! Been a slight change from the Pogba ideal as you will see when I post my write up 

[Kanegan]

@Foxy, if you can add me to the following leaderboards:

 

3 Players Combined

Christie, Armstrong,Fraser - 648 points

 

Non Striker & Overall Leaderboard

Ryan Christie - 261 points

Ryan Fraser - 204 points

Stuart Armstrong - 183 points

 

 

[EvzeyWales]

Going to give this one a blast, got a few players in mind for this. 

[Dai_]

Age at the start:

 

Starting history:

 

History after 5 seasons:

 

354 - 29 = 325

325 + 49 = 374

 

Could I get added to the leaderboard, please? 😁
