Career Augusta Golf Challenge: Broodje vs George vs Rich COMPLETED!

[broodje kip]

Yess!!!

[George Traistă]

 

Hole No12 didn't bring anything new to the standings, just a wave of birdie and, with no pleasure, I can say the next hole can't be much different  as there are no special requirement. The biggest threat is time as there will be 2 long seasons and we must be focused to win all.

First season you have to win as many trophies you can, but they must be retained the second season to count at the end. Failure to win one in the first season means you can't go for it the second season. If you win less trophies in the second season than the first, it’s a double bogey.

Eagle - 6 trophies (5 if managing in a nation with only one domestic cup)

Birdie - 5 trophies (4)

Par - 3-4 trophies (2-3)

Bogey - 2 or less trophies (1 or less)

 

[George Traistă]

I think everybody knows the result, right?

 

This hole is the last from the Amen Corner, which I hope it will change the name to Birdie Corner... the big threat on this one is to think you are too good and lose one cup... at this point of the game we have a lot of money and possible the best players in the game so you will win the league even if you play blindfolded.

 

Let's take it one by one:

1st Trophy, Community Shield: unlike the other two, that they have the Super Cup in January, in England we have the Community shield on early August and it's always the first game of the season.

Spoiler

 

2nd Trophy, UEFA Super Cup: we had to be careful to win the Champions League in the season before so we can get our hand on all trophies;

Spoiler

 

3rd Trophy, EFL Cup: this trophy is the second national cup and it's only available in England, @broodje kip and @RichD didn't had to win 6 trophies like me, they only had to win 5;

Spoiler

 

4th Trophy, Premiere League: no words needed for this one...;

Spoiler

 

5th Trophy, FA Cup: I usually don't give a @#$% about national Cups so this one is the least won trophy by me, no I got it two seasons in a row;

Spoiler

 

6th Trophy, Champions League: I can't remember losing an European cup final, even that is Champions League, Europa League or UEFA Super Cup...

Tactic

I wanted to test the tactic that was my bullet proof one in FMM20, to see if it's still working... turns out, it's reliable in FMM21.

 

The big joy of this hole is not the eagle score, is the fact that Spurs went down!!!! Oh man, in the last 5-10 season I always had tough games against them as always their goal scorers were ex-players from my, players that I didn't get a place on my team, and it was frustrating. Their didn't beat us, just to score 1-2-3 goals with our ex-players, it was frustrating! Bye bye b!^&#s!!!

Well done on another great hole there George😁

Will start my post now!

[Rich]

Ok let’s get down to business early with this one, for me, probably the most straight forward hole as I was winning every trophy pretty much anyway 😂

Season 1

So I was going to do all my transfers but this is pretty pointless, we are so far in, you won’t know anyone, but I did spend 700m this summer 😂

Tactic

So I wanted to make it more fun and decided to go with the tactic I used for a Bruno Fernandes, I wanted to test how many the no 10’s would get.

League And Cup Results

Spoiler

So we win all completions available to us which is 5, meaning we are eligible for the maximum score here, which surely would only happen or would it?

Fixtures

Spoiler

Only loss was actually in a friendly which I do not play!

Season 2

League and Cup Results

Spoiler

So we achieve an eagle I think? I’m not even sure now, either an eagle or a birdie, I’m sure @George Traistă can tell me 😂

Fixtures 

Spoiler

So no where near the level of the previous season, but I was trying new things out as it did get a little bit long winded to be honest!

Manager Profile 

Spoiler

I hadn’t looked at this for a while, not far off 70 trophies now, I’d be interested in seeing the other two boys ones 😁

Score

Having looked, we score an eagle!

Hole Score - Eagle -2

Total Score -5

Thanks for reading guys.

[George Traistă]

Max score it's eagle, -2 on this one!

Not sure how many trophies I have in my collection so far but I bet is somewhere around 70, I'm not looking at my manager profile as I always have red or yellow on Discipline and Domestic Player Bias. I promise I will post mine at the end of this H2H.

[broodje kip]

Impressive score boys. 

[samhardy]

Oh dear!

Well now I know what the first area of the course to get a revamp next year will be

100% by 2035 the game is very easy in my opinion, so trophies are easy to come by 😂

[broodje kip]

Arguably the easiest hole in the challenge. Looks like @samhardy will revamp it next year and we’ll see how it’ll be like.

Season 1

Transfers

Spoiler

No it’s not me I who spent £300M players in the transfer window. It’s @RichD using my phone 🙈.

League Table

Once again won the league. Nothing special especially considering this is my 14th 🥱.

Manager History 

I forgot to take the screenshot of manager profile so it’s going to be only history. We won every competition which will really depend on season 2. It’s either eagle or double bogey.

Now for something entirely impossible....

We won world coach of the year twice in a row!

Season 2

Transfers

Spoiler

Made a pre-transfer for our Spanish striker so that we got no competition for him next season.

League Table

Another title.

Manager Profile and History

Hating that transfer acumen but what can I do it’s all Sam’s fault.

Once again we won everything. That means it’s an....

[George Traistă]

The Eagle hunt it's pray on hole 13th and everybody is glad this one is done, not because we got this nice score but because two seasons challenges are exhausting!

Next one is one that @broodje kip and @RichD will certainly like it as you need to make few strikers to score a bucket load of goals.

Buy a strike force of a Spaniard and a Chinese. Must *combined* score as many between them in all competitions as possible in one season.

Birdie - 100+ goals

Par - 70-99 goals

Bogey - 50-69 goals

Double Bogey - 35-49 goals

Triple Bogey - 34 or less goals

[broodje kip]

Not only it’s exhausting but also straightforward and boring 😂. Only this one though so Sam please don’t get mad

[George Traistă]

This one starts well, with buying oncee again my ex ex ex Chinese player, Xu! 

He is, by miles, the best Chinese striker in the game so it was normal to get him and then try to find him a matching partner... sadly, Spanish strikers are bad in the game. The best one it's already in my squad but it's not gonna make a good duo with Xu. The second best is and ex player that has the same problem with the other one so I went on to buy a second, or third hand, striker from Barnsley!  

 

How did they do? First what the whole squad did... the competitions:

Spoiler

After a not so great start I've decided to go for Europa League to help the duo get more goals... and for the first time ever we have encountered @RichD's Atletico Madrid, in the Quarter Finals, bad luck! We lost home and away. We also lost the FA Cup final against Livepool... 

 

All fixtures

Spoiler

 

 

As they boys got their .... goal in the 2-0 game against Leeds I have decided to stop there and try out a tactic for the next hole.... final result?

Xu at the end of season

Spoiler

 

Egiluz at the end of the season

Spoiler

 

Final result is PAR, 76 goals!

As I've said before, this is not my type of challenge so @broodje kip and @RichD can close the gap if they play it right. How went for you boyz?

Edited January 7, 2021 by George Traistă

[broodje kip]

That’s what you got for messing with @RichD  . It’s a nice score and hope both me and Rich will be able to catch you up.

[Rich]

Nice score there George! I will update mine in a bit, won’t give anything away😁

They scored 500 for me!

Hello and welcome to my attempt at hole 14, as are nearing the last hurdles now. Let’s see how I did.

The Signings

This is actually them at the end of the hole, Rios did not improve one bit which was lovely, Zhang however looks a very decent striker now.

Tactic

Spoiler

So this is mostly how we lined up for the season, wanted to try a variant of a 4-4-2 and it worked pretty well. 
 

Results

Spoiler

So first time we haven’t won the champions league I think. But we were very unlucky to lose 4-1. Most dominant league campaign though I think. Can’t remember anything anymore.

All The Fixtures

Spoiler

The Boys

I wasn’t sure how I would do on this hole especially not having either with great aerial so I will take that. 80 GOALS

Score

Hole Score - Par 0

Total Score -5

Thanks for reading guys 😁

[George Traistă]

We had the same tactic, instead of DLF I had TM, that's the only difference. 

I must say, I was excepting more! Not that I don't like your score 😂

Yeah I wasn’t even sure how many I scored, I like doing the no look at what they scored as it gets me through a season quicker because I want to see how they done 😂

Ill be doing the same for the next hole!

[broodje kip]

I’m absolutely loving this! Nice attempt btw

[broodje kip]

Another fun hole we got. Changed a lot of formation until February where I got a very consistent and produced me lots of goals for the 2 boys.

The Spanish Striker

To anyone wondering why he’s so good, he used to be on my team when he’s very young. I trained him to be good and sold a few seasons ago. He also used to be Brazilian don’t know when he changed to Spanish but it’s a good thing for me.

The Chinese Striker

Another ex-player of mine, after a few research I think he’s the regen of Chinese Messi, Wu Lei and probably me and @George Traistă were using the same guy.

League Table

No messing around this time. 103 goals scored.

Transfers

That’s right, only 2 screenshots of transfer page. Shortest so far.

Manager History and Profile

We got FMM’ed in the Italian Cup where somehow, Fiorentina scored from over 100 yards! We lost it on away goal  .

How Did The Boys Do?

Tavares absolutely killing it with 60 goals in 55 games!

Li didn’t do anywhere near bad either. Scored 44 goals in 54 games with a mediocre stats? It’s a big win for me.

That would give us a total of 104 goals combined. Easily is a 🐦.

Total Points: -5 pts

Finally we’re on the same points as @RichD 😁

 

The Majestic Formation 

Mad! I know. We played with only 1 defender but I need more players to support them so here is it, 5 midfielders and 2 wingbacks.

Also thanks to @RichD for the advice of using CF. Tried to pair the CF with every single role and found TM works best.

[George Traistă]

I don't think is the same Chinese guy as mine is 3 years older, can it be such a age difference? 

Congrats for the score, hats off!

I think so. For example, my de Ligt is still playing at the age of 38 and your Niazou still plays at the age of 38. In my save, Niazou’s retired long ago while in your save de Ligt could probably have retire long ago. 😁

Yes, you are right!No, you are not right!

If both, Nianzou and de Light, were not in out teams they would have both retired long time ago. They are still standing because we are forcing them. I recon if we weren't to sign them, they would have retired at approximately same age in both saves.

I got Sancho and Tonali on bosman. And I remember that in the first 3-4 season you can get a lot of world class player on free. 

I remember I could have gotten Fati when și was 29 or so

Looked back to the previous 3-4 seasons and the best bosman I got was Adnan Januzaj 😂. Luckily he’s still giving good services at my club as assistant

In the first few season you get good players, then you get only untrained regens, bad real players or once in a while you get a good player, but nothing out of ordinary
