Career A Goal A Minute ft. El Bufalo

[Aaron55]

Hi Vibe, it’s been a while!

I wanted to get back posting before FMM2021 comes out, and as you may have guessed from the title I will be attempting @Ashez A Goal A Minute Challenge, which you can read more about here 👇 

Basically, over the career I have to attempt to have a striker score a goal in every minute between 1-90 (91-120 ET are bonuses).

Now, which striker and team will I choose to attempt this with?

Well, as a Rangers fan and knowing that it could  possibly be his last season as a player at Ibrox, I have decided to go with “El Bufalo”, Alfredo Morelos 🐃🇨🇴

With plenty of games to play, including Europa League qualifiers, potentially European group stage football and beyond, plus, hopefully, two runs to domestic cup finals, there should be plenty of opportunities for him to rack up the goals. 

In my updates, I’ll be showing screenshots of each occasion in which he scores a goal in a new minute. Plus I’ll show any transfers and trophies won as well, but obviously the goals are the most important part.

First update coming this weekend hopefully 😁

[Aortic]

I'll be watching this to see how you get on. 

I found following the winter update, Alfie was nowhere near as potent whenever I started a new game. 

 

[kylieboi88]

Excellent!

Great to see you posting again mate! 

[FuddledFox]

Based on my experience this is a fun if sometimes frustrating challenge.

Good luck.

[Woody]

Best of luck mate

I think all those Newcastle rumours have gone to his head irl 🤣

[Rob]

Good luck with this!

🐃🇨🇴 Season One Update 🐃🇨🇴

There was a few changes to the squad at the start of the season, with some players deemed surplus to requirements leaving, along with a couple of youth team players, while incomings included the loan signings of former Rangers player Billy Gilmour, and Southampton left back Jake Vokins, both signed as cover, while Karim Onisiwo joined from Mainz to become our first choice at right wing.

So, now for the all important goals...

Two good for Connah’s Quay.

Spoiler

A double for Morelos in the first competitive game of the season saw 29’ and 45’ crossed off the list

Morelos disappointed?

Spoiler

And so was I, after learning we’d be without our main striker for a month after picking up an injury.

El Bufalo Al Ataque.

Spoiler

Returning from injury as a second half substitute, El Bufalo went on the attack, quickly making up for lost time as he added 81’ and 89’ to his list, as well as a bonus for his 90+3’ goal that sealed a hatrick.

 One goal. Zero points.

Spoiler

A poor result, but with the consolation of 15’ being ticked off.

You wait 65 minutes for a goal, and then three come within 6 minutes.

Spoiler

Unfortunately one of those goals was for the opposition, but the other two were both scored by Morelos, as he added 66’ and 72’ to the minutes he had found the back of the net.

A game to four-get... Part One.

Spoiler

...for Motherwell, as they shipped four goals on the way to exiting the Betfred Cup. Morelos adding 49’ to his list of minutes scored in.

Paying the penalty.

Spoiler

After having an early goal being ruled out, St Johnstone were made to pay, as Morelos added more goals to his tally, first a penalty in the 33rd minute and then rounding off the scoring at 59’.

Euro joy.

Spoiler

A second hatrick of the season for El Bufalo saw 44’, 56’ and 73’ completed in a comfortable Europa League victory.

A game to four-get... Part Two.

Spoiler

Motherwell on the wrong side of a 4-0 defeat again, as an early goal from Morelos sees 2’ ticked off.

Seeing double.

Spoiler

A double for Morelos, but also a double for 81’, as despite scoring twice, only 34’ is crossed off this time.

The Heartbreak Kid.

Spoiler

A bit of revenge for our previous defeat, as Morelos breaks Hearts hearts with a 26th minute strike to put Rangers in control only midway through the first half.

Not a relaxing Sunday afternoon.

Spoiler

Until a red card for Hamilton allowed us to come back from to win 3-2, and adding 84’ to the list. 34’ having already been completed.

69, lol.

Spoiler

An early red card didn’t affect the team as Morelos scored in the 33rd minute for the second time, before completing a 3-0 win with a goal after 69’.

Late Christmas presents.

Spoiler

After we gifted Hibs the lead early on, they gave us a present too, in the form of a 31st minute penalty, which Morelos duly converted.

New Year. Old Firm.

Spoiler

Scottish football returned from the winter break for the second Old Firm game of the season, and despite only having one shot on target, we managed to draw 2-2, Morelos scoring the all important equaliser after 64 minutes.

Silence of the Lambs.

Spoiler

Late goals from Arfield and Jones quietened down the home support after they had found an equaliser to a 21st minute opener from Morelos.

Taming the Lions.

Spoiler

El Bufalo showed the Lions of Livi who was in charge, as he found the net once in each half, adding 11’ to his list in the process, with 89’ already having been completed.

Men against Bairns.

Spoiler

A comfortable afternoon against lower league opposition in the Scottish Cup, with Morelos’ first goal in the 14th minute being the latest addition to his list, before adding a second 72nd minute goal of the season as we progressed to the semi-final.

How the other half lives.

Spoiler

Hamilton got a taste of how their Lanarkshire rivals Motherwell felt earlier in the season, as they also conceded 4 against us, with Morelos adding to his tally in the 52nd minute.

Attendance: 44,279

Spoiler

A crowd of 44,279 saw Morelos score in the 79th minute.

A Tale of Two Penalties.

Spoiler

Having missed a first half penalty, Edouard was soon taught a lesson by El Bufalo, as he scored a penalty of his own in the 47th minute, before Goldson’s goal nine minutes later secured an important win at Ibrox.

A walk in the Hampden Park.

Spoiler

Easy passage to the Scottish Cup Final, as Hagi’s late first half goal was followed by two in the second half for Morelos, the first of which came after 53 minutes.

How did you get here?

Spoiler

Hamilton battling against relegation is a pretty much guaranteed yearly occurence in Scotland, so coming up against them after the league split was a bit of a surprise. Morelos finding the back of the net wasn’t though, as he added 12’ to his list.

Counting sheep.

Spoiler

The Aberdeen defence must have been counting sheep, as they fell asleep to gift El Bufalo a route to goal in the 71st minute.

Champions.

Spoiler

A 40th minute goal from Morelos saw us on our way to all three points against our rivals, a result which meant we couldn’t get caught at the top of the table.

A Hatrick for the Double.

Spoiler

Three goals from El Bufalo saw us on our way to lift the trophy for our second trophy of the season, and also saw a pair of minutes crossed off following a penalty after 61’, and the goal that put us in front on 90 minutes. This double was followed by a second 93rd minute goal of the season for Morelos, which rounded off his goalscoring exploits for the campaign.

A good year for Morelos, as he scored 44 goals in 49 games along the way to collecting two trophies. There was some dissapointment though, in the form of a semi-final defeat in the Betfred Cup, and a Europa League group stage exit, where three points separated 4th from 1st.

🐃🇨🇴 SEASON TWO UPDATE 🐃🇨🇴

[UPDATE OVER TWO POSTS BECAUSE I GOT TO THE END OF THE GOALS SECTION AND IT WOULDN’T LET ME TYPE BELOW IT FOR SOME REASON]

Even though our first campaign had been quite a successful one, our second season still saw plenty of transfer business, as well as an attempt to give more minutes to young homegrown players, such as Ross McCrorie, Danny Finlayson, Nathan Patterson, Jamie Barjonas, and Dapo Mebude. This left our starting XI and subs looking like this.

Notable departures included Nikola Katic moving to Sassuolo for a fee of £23m. First choice left and right backs Borna Barisic and James Tavernier also left the club, along with Allan McGregor, Ryan Jack, Jordan Jones, Filip Helander and Scott Arfield. Sheffield United’s John Egan also moved on in the January transfer window having only made the move to Ibrox in the previous transfer window.

In terms of incomings, new goalkeeper Illan Meslier from FC Lorient was joined by QPR’s attacking midfielder Ebere Eze to plug the gap following Ianis Hagi’s loan ending, while wingers Niclas Eliasson and Josh Bowler also arrived at rhe club. At left back, Marc Cucurella was signed on loan from Barcelona, before the January signing of Monchengladbach’s Ramy Bensebaïni. Diogo Dalot also signed on loan to cover at left and right back, while Leon Balogun came in on a free transfer. 

Anyway, enough of the transfer talk, we’re all here for the goals aren’t we... 

Spoiler

35’ and 38’ added to the list in a comfortable Champions League qualifier win. 

Spoiler

Another hatrick from Morelos in the second leg of the same qualifying round saw 4’, 13’, and 86’ all crossed off.

Spoiler

The opening goal in our first league game of the season saw El Bufalo score in the 9th minute for the first time.

Spoiler

10’ was the next off the list, in a game where we secured progress to the Champions League Playoff Round.

Spoiler

It was in the playoff first leg that a bonus goal was added in first half injury time. 

Spoiler

Qualification for the CL group stage was secured with a 3-0 home win in which Morelos saw 68’ ticked off the list.

Spoiler

A penalty after 90+2’ rounded off a win away to Hearts and also saw Morelos secure another bonus goal.

Spoiler

Before Euan Murray seemed to forget which team he was playing for, the scoring had already been opened after 5 minutes to add another goal to the list.

Spoiler

A 57th minute penalty saw us manage a draw away to Galatasaray and added another to Morelos’ list.

Spoiler

An early goal wasn’t enough for Aberdeen, as Morelos 39th minute equaliser started off our comeback.

Spoiler

El Bufalo helped himself to a double against The Staggies, with both 16’ and 85’ added to the minutes he’d scored in.

Spoiler

A goal for Morelos wasn’t enough to get any points away to Benfica, but did see 87’ crossed off the list.

Spoiler

Dissapointing result, but with the slight consolation of a 76th minute penalty securing another goal for the list.

Spoiler

A couple of days before Santa arrived, Morelos got himself a Christmas bonus goal in injury time deapite originally missing the gift of a penalty.

Spoiler

Dundee United players may have over indulged slightly on Christmas Day, as they returned to action a day later and suffered a 5-1 defeat including a 70th minute goal for Morelos.

Spoiler

On the way to a hatrick, El Bufalo found the net for the first time in the 19th and 48th minutes.

Spoiler

Always hungry for goals, Morelos helped himself to two more at the Tony Macaroni Arena, and ticked off 42’ and 67’.

Spoiler

A nice home win vs Hibs saw Morelos add 27’ to his list of goals.

Spoiler

Three goals scored, but just one more crossed off the list thanks to a 62nd minute strike.

Spoiler

23’ was added to the list as a solitary first half goal saw us through to the next round of the Scottish Cup.

Spoiler

We piled more misery on Dunfermline four days later, with Morelos scoring in the 18th minute along the way to a 6-0 win.

Spoiler

A good watch for the neutrals, saw Morelos find the first of three equalisers for Rangers in a 3-3 Old Firm Draw to add 24’ to his list.

Spoiler

A 55th minute goal in the Europa League last 32 tells you how our CL group stage campaign finished, and also adds another goal for Morelos.

Spoiler

A trip to Kilmarnock saw Morelos cross off the 6th minute in a 6-0 win.

Spoiler

We reached the Scottish Cup Final thanks to an El Bufalo hatrick that added the 63rd minute to his list.

Spoiler

Another hatrick the next weekend again saw one more minute added to the list, as Morelos found the back of the net in the 54th minute for the first time.

Spoiler

After Luis Suarez (no, not that one) had an equaliser disallowed, Morelos added to our lead minutes later, crossing off 58’ from his list.

Spoiler

A first goal for Morelos in the 51st minute was enough for us to take all three points from our rivals.

[Aaron55]

🐃🇨🇴 SEASON TWO UPDATE 🐃🇨🇴

Another good season for Morelos as he scored about a goal a game on average.

This goalscoring form would have been a big part of our chances of winning trophies, so let’s have a look how we did in that respect.
