Career Rob tries the Peak Years Challenge - Season 05... The End


Rob
 Share

Recommended Posts

Season 02

There is plenty to get through on this one. You have my upmost apologies if it is boring and I won’t take offence if you just scroll to my score.

Transfers

I like Trent. Not only is he a top notch player he can also play in various positions, which allows me to tweak tactic in game without wasting substitutions on non-Peak players. I also wanted to give Jack Grealish a go... which ends up a little annoying. Ederson was a bit of a bargain so I snapped him up to be Neuer’s backup. 

Outgoings were just players who wanted to leave and/or squad fat that I wanted to trim.

Team Performance

Firstly, remember how I wanted to give Jack a go? Well, this happened:

Like Trent, Jack can play in a variety of positions. So frustrating! 

Also, this is one of my favourite ever attempts at FMM trying to wreck my life.

36 shots against Madrid, with one of the best strikers in the game (Kane) having the majority of them, and we score once and rely on penalties to advance.

I also love the early rounds of the German Cup. Hilarious:

Overall, we did well as a team, losing only in the Supercup.

Player Performance

Injuries weren’t too horrific. Serge’s two month injury was frustrating, especially with it overlapping with Jack.

Harry had the best game of the season, snaring 7 (seven) in one game away against Bremen bizarrely.

I did get a bit excited with Kane, as after 30 games he was at 60 goals and I was dreaming of joining the illustrious 100 Club, sipping brandy and smoking cigars with my new contemporaries.

However, we know the game gets horrible at the business end of the season. In his remaining 21 games he only scored 19. 79 goals is still a good return, but... meh. I had to cancel my order for a dinner jacket.

This leaves the lads getting 207 for the season, taking the total so far to 389.

Harry, as expected, has the bulk of that total with 164, but Sane is doing me proud too. 

Thanks for reading!

Well Rob I didn’t actually scroll down to your score and actually read it! Unlucky with Grealish, hate when things like that happen, I’ve wanted to use him as well but haven’t got around to it. Anyway great season for your 3 boys, making dadi proud, shame Kane couldn’t keep up the score, but still great going!

Thanks Rich. I’ve just had a look at the start of another save and Jack is light green in CM, AM, and LW to start, then dark green in LM, RM, and RW. The lad is a machine.

Only just got round to catching up on this, thats a good score mate. 

Grealish is a beast on the game - sign him whenever possible personally. Although, i may be a tad tiny bit bias. 

Thanks. I think the game does a great job with his attributes and positioning. Just out of interest has he ever played false nine for you guys?

To be completely frank, he plays where he wants. 

This season he has started in an LW & AMC role. 

He seems to have a preference for the left, usually ends up drifting out to the left most the time, but can play in a number 10 role behind the striker. 

I think the reason he shines so much this season, and last is that Smith just gives him the freedom to do his own thing. He knows we have the strength behind him if he gets caught on the ball, leaving Jack to roam around, picking up pockets of space.

Very nice score that Rob Holding. Unlucky with the Jack Grealish injury. I guess there would be another challenge for you to give another go with him :( .

Smith seems to know his stuff. I am so glad he stayed with you. Shame about his off field stuff though 😣

I have got one great photo of Grealish sent to me on what’s app, probably not suitable for a forum though 😂😂

Season 03

So last season we got 207 in total. Could we beat it?

Transfers

They were basically just tweaks to the squad, strengthening it in ways. Dest is a beautiful man.

Team Performance

We did the clean sweep and managed to unlock an unlockable.

Player Performance

Serge had the big injury...

...and the rest were just smaller knocks. Kane again led the way with goals and Sane with assists.

This gives us a final score of 215 for the season and 604 in total. 

We have two seasons remaining... and this season is definitely the ‘peak’ of the five years - the top of the mountain, if you like. It’s all downhill from here...

Awesome season there Rob, shame Gnabry got that long injury, it must be something to do with your unique but horrific training sessions.

You mean chasing him around with a pitchfork isn’t normal?

It really depends what you do after you catch him. 

I store the pitchfork in my newly found storage.

Season 04

215 last season was lovely and we went in to this season hoping to beat it. Could we?

Transfers

Replacing unhappy players again, with three top players coming in.

Team Performance

Pretty much a clean sweep except for the Cup. The tactic I used in this doesn’t exactly set the ‘goals for’ on fire but is fairly decent at keeping assists and goals amongst the three.

A few injuries...

...but nothing too bad. The player return dropped by a massive 40 though.

As to why? No idea... I used the same formation, similar types of players, and made the squad stronger.

Kane is going to give us a nice score at the end and it should also be a decent three player score overall once season five is done, but somewhat disappointing against where I had hoped to get to. 

Thanks for reading!

I missed the start of this so just caught up now. I noticed you’d used Grealish and I’ve just used him for the first time on my Milan save and he’s very good to say the least. In fact, too good as he’s pinching too many goals from my challengers lol.

Anyway, a very great score so far with just one to go.

Cheers Ian. Grealish is awesome and so versatile. But he got an injury and was never the same again, which is a shame.
