Career Dave’s Seeing Double (Season 16) (Complete)

[Rich]

Back with another update, think I have addiction problems with this game 🙈

Season 9

Transfers 

Spoiler

More going out now, trusting in my youth which is a big gamble to be honest as we were doing so well, but I think we should still do well even with the youngsters coming in.

Results

So the youngsters did me proud, not that there bad youngsters but they weren’t quite at where I wanted them stat wise to get 100% out of the way we play.

Season Total Goals - 151

Esposito Total Goals - 480

Haaland Total Goals - 679

Career Total Goals - 1,159

So Haaland so close to a 100 goals I’m actually dissapointed because I really want that 100 goals now that he’s been so close, Esposito didn’t have quite the season he had last season though. Very close to the target now, hoping to wrap that up soon, will push on then until I don’t enjoy the save anymore.

Thanks for reading my hourly updates it feels like🤣

[Aaron Thornton]

Haaland is smashing it! So close to the total already, great work. 

[George Traistă]

97 goals... That's dazzling!! 

[Scratch]

Great couple of seasons mate, wish Esposito was more consistent - he's like one season up, one season down at the moment. Still, it's more than enough, especially with Haaland scoring for fun down the other end. Hope he gets to 100 for you next season!

Thanks Scratch, I had noticed that, he loves a great season and then a decent season. If he was like Haaland, this score could have been even better, but I can’t complain!

Determined to have one page at some point 🤣

Brilliant season, I have a great team, so that’s a lot to do with it, but finding a way to get as many crosses in as possible and having wingers with 20 crossing is massive.

Target achieved, but the boys are still in there prime so will keep on going until I’m not enjoying anymore. I have noticed Esposito has one great season and then not as great. So expecting Haaland to get more next season.

Thank you for reading guys, anything you want to ask, ask 😁

Another hour another update, think it’s time I revaluate my life, feel like I’m back to being a teenager again non stop playing games🙈

Well other than Real Madrid giving us a tuning in the champions league semi final, it’s was another great season.

So a dip from Haaland which I am very unhappy with, he won’t be having the summer off, he will be having shooting practice, as 78 is not enough! I’m going to keep going, not sure what my target for this is now, we shall just keep going 😁

I would say thanks for reading but you’re all probably sick of the sight of me tbh!

[Aaron Thornton]

I think you now play more seasons a day than I ever did, maybe we could hold a Vibe award ceremony at some point before FMM 2021😂 You'd definitely be 1st place 

Great two seasons there, slight drop in the most recent season but still very good totals, there maybe a 2kc on the cards here, at least 4 years left on Haaland, with Esposito being younger he could then take over as the main goal scorer in a few seasons, going great with this mate, KIU

Great work, congrats on getting to the 1.2K mark! I see you had 1321 goals after 10 seasons, which is when I quit my DT with 1315 goals - so we were neck and neck, but you pipped me! You gonna go on to a truly massive score...

Yeah, this TT I'm doing is the first time I haven't focused my tactic around Aerial and Crossing, but every other tactic, including my DT one relied on this. It's the key to FMM20 (and 19). Actually, it was easier to get players to Crossing 20 in FMM19, had a lot of problems with that in FMM20 - can get them to 17, 18, even 19, but a full 20 is a rarity for me now (possible, but only maybe 10 to 15% of players I try to get there ever make it). 

[Kanegan]

Almost on the verge of TT. Great work done here Dave. Amazing career.

I know, it’s neck and neck I reckon, you had played ahead and then updated, I have to post after I finish every season or I’ll mix it up 🤣🤣

Ohhh I didn’t realise how close we were mate, that’s crazy only 6 goals in it, I’ve been lucky with injuries, only few games here and there, so I think that’s the only reason I was ahead!

Yeah it’s weird, with my front 3 tactic, I didn’t concentrate on wingers too much, because it was such an overload in the middle of the park, it was just get the ball up there as quick and direct as we could. This one is so different to my front 3 one, I have Got two players in this save to 20 crossing and they were both right footed, only the one on the left but he’s now retired and The best I’ve gotten now is 18 on the left, so last season I was a bit more of a struggle and shows how important to the way I’ve set up crossing is!

Another good season from the boys, nice to see Esposito now score as many goals as he’s played and Haaland isn’t far off a 1,000 goals for us now. The boys still look really good as well, hopefully Haaland doesn’t a massive drop soon.

Thanks for reading, if you got any questions, ask away 😁

Another great season mate, 2K only a few seasons away!

Dest wouldn’t sign a new contract so bought him back as he’s a favourite of mine on this game, he’s quality all round.

So this season was probably the best all round with the results. Dominating all round, the boys were still top notch as well.

Wasn’t expecting this, what a season for the pair, there attributes haven’t really deteriorated much, just a little bit for Haaland, I’d love them to stay like this for a couple of seasons. We will keep going, it’s not as fun as it once was, but still powering through 🤣

Thanks for reading, any questions you have, ask away 😁

[Aaron Thornton]

What a season! So close to the 2k after that stormer of a year, nicely done. 

[Scratch]

Great stuff mate, awesome work from the lads. I love that Vignato has 60 assists as well (I did a Assists 1KC with him this year - he is a legend this year). I've tried to buy Dest so many times but either he won't come to the team I'm at or when he will, I have someone else that I'm using. Gonna get him eventually!

Anyway, keep it up!

Thanks Scratch, I actually read up your career the other day, was a good read and some awesome numbers mate and the 2k for Unuvar😁

Ive managed to get Dest a few times and he always turns in to a “legendary full back” awesome player, but he’s gone to Barca in real life now!

So an amazing effort from the boys, I swapped there roles around as Esposito had the better stats now and I do wonder if it could have been even better if I did that from the start. But can’t complain been a good shift from both, so close to 2,000 now. The boys still look good, so will definitely do another season at least.

Thanks for reading, if there’s anything you want a screenshot of or anything let me know. Comments are welcome 👍

[Aaron Thornton]

Massive totals with them now in thier 30's, very impressive and it's good to see Esposito has taken over as predicted with Haaland having two years on him.

Definitely wrapping this up next season and who knows how many you could finish up with, great career mate.

Cheers mate, I decided the next season will be my last as I’m finding it hard to play it now, but I really wanted Esposito to outshine Haaland and this happened in our final season.

Happy he can win this before we finish!

Last update of this career could be tonight or maybe tomorrow 😁

Sad, I would loved to see Esposito get to 1k but... anyway a great career, I'm waiting on the last update

Great season from the team, we won everything as I would expect at this point as my team is a lot better than others. Less goals being scored now as the boys stats are starting to decrease.

So we’ve gone past 2000 goals now which I’m delighted about, couldn’t have imagine that amount before hand. After seeing your comments I’ve decided Esposito is only 81 off a 1,000 goals himself now, so I will play this following season and put him on penalties, usually Haaland has been, but now Esposito is so close. I’ll have to change that. Haaland has one year left on his contract so it could be down to the wire here....

Thanks for reading and a big thank you to those who have taken there time to comment, really appreciate them 😁

[Aaron Thornton]

Huge numbers again and I really hope you get the 1k with Esposito too, what a career this has been and the 1k with Esposito will be the icing on the cake for this career, great work

[Rich]

So the final update is here, Haaland would retire at the end of the season, and the whole point of this last season was for Esposito to get 81 goals to get his 1k as well. Bare in my mind I don’t look how many they score until after the last game, as I find it a lot more fun. So let’s find out how this went!

Some really nice records to look back on, still gutted no 100 goals in one season, but maybe that will come when I got for 1 player 1k 😁

I honestly cannot believe that last season, when I seen how many he had I actually shouted out as if Newcastle had scored a 90th minute winner. What an awesome way to finish this career and I couldn’t have written it any better. Shame Haaland was one off 1,200, but who cares. A champions league final opener got Esposito his 1,000 goal 😁

Again thank you all for reading and a big thanks for you who have commented, there a big bit of going this far in a career because they can get a bit boring towards the end, but comments pulled me through for sure!

Got a few challenges I’ve been looking at, I will do a 1k challenge but not yet, not ready for another long term one.

Thanks guys 😁

Noooo way!!! Good job boy!!!
