Career Rob plays with Chelsea’s Wonderkids - Final Attempt


Rob
 Share

Recommended Posts

Scratch has come out of the blocks this year with an absolute must-do of a challenge:

In a proverbial nutshell you grab four of the listed FMM wonderkids of yonder and your score is each players’ goals and assists added to your league points and league goal difference.

The players I have opted for are:

Kai obviously looks decent, although not as decent as Vibe’s Dark Overload thinks, but is highly retrainable which comes in handy when the others get injured.

Pulisic always tends to do well for me on the wing, despite not having the greatest of crossing stats. He is excellent everywhere else that it is needed though.

Tammy has greens in the right places. He will always play as a striker so he doesn’t need retraining.

Werner is the main man and can play centrally or on any side as an IF. I wish his aerial was higher... but meh.

My approach to this is going to be the same as I usually do on shorter goal heavy challenges: use a tactic that scores goals. I’m not here to win trophies; I’m here to grab goals, assists, and goal difference... with a decent amount of league points as a by-product.

Thanks for reading!

Good luck mate. Hope you make a better fist of it than I'm currently doing...

It’s one of those ones where there are so many different ways to do it - for example, should you rotate them in attacking roles? - that it warrants a few attempts.

Yeah, exactly, that's what I liked about it. It's even why I included 5 candidates for the 4 players - so many approaches.. I'll be doing it a few times myself, I'm sure. But, with my current attempting not going so well, I'm not just talking about a low score, I'm talking about possibly getting to try it again sooner than I expected...

Basically either my very attacking tactic doesn't work in FMM21 or the team dynamic thing means you can't rip up the whole squad... I'd be killing it in FMM20, but 21 is different...

I’ve had the same with my attacking tactic. I was at the disappointed stage at one bit too.

Just out of interest did you find you’d utterly batter teams and then still lose?

Yeah in some games we'd batter them and lose (or scrape a win). In others we were better than the opposition or equal, but not battering them.

Actually it wasn't just one thing. We are creating chances, but maybe not as many as last year. And we're not converting as many either. And we're more fragile at the back (which is more realistic give I have 1 CD with 2 IWBs in front). So we occasionaly get a 5-2 win (which was common last year), more often or not it's a narrow win, but with enough losses and draws that we were only 10th when I got that message above. Up to 7th at the moment and it feels like we might be a litte better, but we'll see...

Results

So, uh, my tactic didn’t really do that well in the league. Whilst we scored plenty we also conceded plenty and stumbled to a ‘good’ goal difference and league points, but not really where I wanted it to be. We also finished a disappointing third place.

52 goal difference and 79 league points gives us 131 so far.

I unlocked the Gold coaching badge during this career too.

I cycled through a lot of transfers, selling big earners that free up wages to move to transfers whilst trying to trim down the squad. It’s a decent squad, but fairly unbalanced in my view.

Right, on to the players. First up, Pulisic was top assister with 31, with Werner, Kai, and Tammy grabbing 20, 13, and 9 respectively. That gives us 73 for assists.
 

That 204 so far.

As for goals, Pulisic got 3 which want bad for a winger. Tammy got 33, Kai grabbed 34, and Werner got 39. That’s 109 for goals.

That gives us 313 as a total score.

It’s a really fun challenge and there are so many different ways to give it a go, which I will certainly be doing. @Scratch, please can you pop me on the leaderboard?

Thanks for reading!

Smashing score there @Rob, the boys smashed it for you. A few more wins for the team next time and it would be even better!

Thanks, and yeah I agree. Kinda screwed up the balance. Someone will get it right and nail a massive score soon. Probably you. 😮

Well, I can add you to the leaderboard with 313 points, but not with 323! Nice try, but you might want to try adding 204 + 109 again. :P 

But all good mate, and still a great score. Gonna be better than mine for sure!

It was actually 1,313. Haha.

I did that with a calculator too, so that must have been a typo somewhere.

Well done Roberto. A few tweeks and that 3rd place turns into a top spot.

Maybe. Great fun though. Give a go.

Attempt #2 

Players Used

This time I opted for another tried and tested tactic, with Abraham being replaced by Mount. Therefore we went with:

  • Mount
  • Havertz
  • Werner
  • Pulisic

Injuries

We had a few.

Nothing too scary bad, but Werner was a very focussed player and every game he didn’t play meant I had to rejig things. It was annoying.

Transfers

I never thought I would ever sign Kyle Walker, but there we go! Every signing was wonderfully sensible. I tried to maintain the current squad as much as possible due to this relationships milarky.

Team and Manager Performance

In my previous attempt I was useless in the league. In this attempt we won it. I have £70m transfer kitty left too as I didn’t want upset the apple cart too much.

Goal difference of 74 and league points of 96 gives us 170 points so far.

Player Performance

  • Pulisic scored 7 and assisted 21, totalling 28;
  • Mount scored 37 and assisted 20, totalling 57;
  • Werner scored 42 and assisted 19, totalling 61;
  • Havertz scored 19 and assisted 13, totally 31
Spoiler

This gives a player total of 178.

This gives us a total score of 348, unless my maths has let me down.

@Scratch please can you add my new attempt to the leaderboard?

Thanks for reading!

Very nice attempt Rob, in particular Mount and Werner smash it for you babe 😍

Thanks. I took a bit of a gamble with Mount as I didn’t love his stats. They were all ‘good’ but not exceptional. But it turns out that all being good is quite useful. Plus he was quite resilient. Werner is nuts though. What a player.

FMM20 Jeff Hendrick proved all good but not exceptional attributes can work very well. 

 

Anyway smashing score mate, right to No. 1
