WE ARE THE 2-5-1-2 GROUP!

I think we're enemies then! I've been in the 2-5-3 group since my very first 1KC back in 2017:

Badge 03: (Redknapping)

 

 

Time to go after Badge 03, unleash my inner Redknapp on League One. 

 

 

Transfers In:

15 players exactly, a mix of youth and established pros, Double O (Osayamen Osawe) returns after I used him for the Olympiakos themed challenge last year, I know hes good already. My personal favourites though have to be Tarique Fosu and Ebou Adams. 

Transfers Out:

Screenshot_20201221_160452_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.f3f8aeb1bee263d8320b7b81c23084c9.jpgScreenshot_20201221_160454_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.a89feb4317eea748781d9a21d7ec9b23.jpg

15 outgoings also. Deciding who to sell was very difficult, so I decided to choose the 6 I'd keep plus the 2 loans instead. Some of the players I sold, were sold for peanuts which was annoying, but just selling 15 players is hard enough on this version.

My TT tactic has been chosen, I have no idea how this will do with a brand new team, but that's the fun bit I guess, I'm expecting to win a few games by a metric sh*t tonne but also lose some by the same large margin. My best XI looks pretty good tbf, but rotation will be pretty aggressive as this tactic can be very labour intensive l, but if all goes well, we should have good a GD.

With all that transfer business though the finances are pretty had, maybe on January I can get some bids for a player or two and offload them. 

 

Well that's the intro, I'm away now to take on Shrewsbury and hopefully get off to good start.

Thanks mate, its probably going to take a while to click, I just hope we're in contention when that time comes.

Halfway point and it's going bloody well so far with my TT tactic, I haven't had to tweak it at all, 105 points at the halfway stage, my hopes are high for a good score with this, though I'm not getting my hopes up yet.

Redknapping finale:

My quest to become the new Harry has drawn to a close and here's how we got on:

 

Competitions:

Spoiler

  • We win League 1 with 122 points and a GD of 85
  • We lost in the FA Cup Third round vs Sheff. United, who were miles better than us, all over the pitch
  • We lost to Spurs in the League Cup 3rd round
  • We lost to Newport County in the Papa John's trophy QF, by 3 goals to zero 

A disappointing run in all 3 cups, but we at least claimed the League very convincingly, League One couldn't handle our all out attack style. 

 

Manager Profile:

For LLM I don't think it's a bad record, loads of goals scored, with quite a few conceded also, made for some entertaining games. 

 

Players Performance:

Screenshot_20201222_034837_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.d0fb05ec22d2ccb46b2e34b1b26e4ec4.jpg

The man, the myth, the Marquis was on fire, notching 47 in 43, then Osawe with 24 in 39 and Vassell with 18 in 38. (89 between my first choice strikers) 

Screenshot_20201222_035355_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.827b6f3c4e2a2855fb379b543fa7a893.jpg

^Lower League legend. 

Screenshot_20201222_034839_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.64f4d8695d7348383e7b57a8319c9b7f.jpg

Marcus Harness was in a giving mood all year, setting up 31 goals (mostly for Marquis I'm guessing) then it was that man Marquis with 17 assists followed Osawe with 13.

 

(Points+Goal Difference=Total) 

122+85=207

 

Final score: 207

 

In conclusion I'm very happy with this score and I was pleasantly surprised my players took to my tactic so quickly and kept up their consistency throughout the season. Loved playing this challenge and huge props to @FuddledFox for creating it.

Badge 04: (Three Wise Men) 

Link to challenge below:

 

Intro:

Im now trying my hand at the Xmas themed Badge in the fabled Badges of Honour series and next on the list is 'Three Wise Men' the jist of the challenge if you aren't already aware is to use Gabriel Jesus at any club you want and nominate your Three Wise Men to supply the gifts to Jesus in assists rather than Gold, Frankincense and Mur, (seriously what the hell are those last two wise men playing at, I'm surprised Mary and Joseph didn't tell them two, to sling their hooks)

 

My Club will be Man City and all three players are already at the club (yes! I'm that boring) 

 

First up... 

Screenshot_20201224_234222_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.7c1ef3abea964c2ac299213166130037.jpg

B. Silva. Quality incarnate and someone I've rather embarrassingly rarely ever used. 

 

Next is... 

Screenshot_20201224_234227_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.c4025bf5b15f09545b7f495b62277a5a.jpg

KDB. Not much to say on this guy, we all know exactly how good he is. 

 

And last but not least...

Screenshot_20201224_234225_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.8f629b764c42aa3eaedbae62f26f7a4d.jpg

Raheem (the Dream) Sterling

Like Silva, I've very rarely if ever used Sterling, so can't wait to try him out for a full season. 

 

My tactic at least to begin with.. 

Screenshot_20201224_234220_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3957581024f7dc4b7ee33d3777a39a01.jpg

Rather simple, I did at first want to use WM's instead of WB's but City's team already has very good players in the WB role so rather than do a mini overhaul to just get players to fit, i think it will be better to save the budget for some marquee signings instead. 

 

That concludes the intro. I'll probably do two updates for this, one on Marth Day 19 of the PL and again at the end of the season. Thanks for reading.

Good luck mate, I found this the toughest of the badges in ways, took a while to settle on something, hope you find something that works 😁

UPDATE: 

I scored 89, so that season is scrapped, my next attempt I will be going for a less basic tactic and I just have to pray that all out attack still sort of works. I may change club also, but of course options are limited to who can afford and persuade Jesus to join them, I'll be back later on today with the Club and my Three gift givers. 

This challenge has proved to be difficult for me anyway. I wish I did upload my 110 attempt, but hindsight is 20/20 as they say.

The sadistic loonatic in me is enjoying this challenge winding people up. I gave this challenge a go myself a few days ago and it drove me potty too!

You are probably just a few tweaks away from a tactic that will nail this challenge.

Could’ve been easier if Jesus can actually finish :(

Another attempt in the bin... 😠🤬

He started very well too, and Ive found a rather wacky tactic that could work. My head hurts with this challenge. Thanks @Rob😂

Hey - it is @Ashez who created it in the first place. I just put it as a badge... and even then it’s @FuddledFox who suggested it to me. 

But, seriously, I reckon wacky tactics win the way with half of these challenges! Sounds like you have a good one.

Oh my Bad, I need to blame Ash and Fox then... Yet you hit the Post button, so I feel you are slightly responsible 😂😉

Haha, I shall take partial blame. But look at it this way: you may have come up with the whackiest single striker scoring tactic ever.

Probably... Probably Not, I've used it for 6 games so I may be back to the drawing board come halfway 🤷‍♂️

Attempt 3: (I think) 

Jesus and the gift givers:

Same players as attempt 1 but I now have a new system that I really hope works because my head hurts with this challenge 😩

 

Screenshot_20201226_151705_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.4a82beab0386e3341c2b9a0d2a02a1ff.jpg

That's how we'll line up for this attempt. I'm might be the best thing since sliced bread or absolutely horrendous, I only have a small sample size to work with for this tactic so we'll just have to wing it of sorts and hope Jesus doesn't tear any more ligaments on low training intensity 🤬🤬

Attempt 4:

......... We failed again! 

Screenshot_20201227_054444_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.13f2be2d521750ed9d8a465dfb405c1b.jpgScreenshot_20201227_054446_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.3a35ea071d83483f125460c75e49f2cb.jpg

 

Screenshot_20201227_054438_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.cf67e309e84b7747a32626074d752ba2.jpg

My experiment with all 3 in the AM position lasted 8 games, then I swiftly abandoned it and went with this (Jesus was getting so few chances), I pushed Silva and Sterling out wide as Wingers, but my thinking with this was to have Silva on the right and Sterling on the left, both opposite to their stronger foot in the hope they may be more willing to come infield and create chances by passing rather than crossing, this did sort of work and it also stopped the IWB's pushing on past my Wingers. In theory it sounds OK to me and it worked for the most part but their was one issue once we played our final game. 

 

Screenshot_20201227_054512_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.37461c607a3012de9d88946fa38b0ad2.jpg

51 goals is very respectable 

Screenshot_20201227_054455_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.9485d3fe725dd6bf2f8b92c1031ac644.jpg

29 assists for KDB, decent enough 

Screenshot_20201227_054459_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.d964d5e02e4bb552ca66ae5f819a2825.jpg

14 for Sterling (I guess you see where this going) 

Screenshot_20201227_054505_com_sega.score.thumb.jpg.c861ac5df11f5b58bfd23449a74f1541.jpg

7!!!! For BS and just like that we fail again

 

Out total score in the end was 101 so we literally scraped past the 100 point benchmark but we failed in the assists for Silva. 

 

I don't think I've ever failed a challenge 4 times in a row, I can't help but mention its coincided with the latest update for FMM. I'll be taking a break from this badge for a while, I can't keep posting failures 😂😭 Some severe tactic testing is needed to see what now works with the latest update.

Thanks for reading and sorry I suck right now. 😊

You don’t suck. This is just a challenge that none of us are used to. Trust me, you’ll crack an attempt when you eventually return to it.
