Fun/Games Goal-a-Mile: Ticket to Ride - Europe (COMPLETED)

[George Traistă]

@broodje kip congrats! As you are already on your destination is no need for milers. Play one game or the entire season on Valencia, is up to you.

@geordiekrispy you still have 3 more predictions... to lose 😂

[JamesVilla]

We have moved folks! 

And it will be our final move of this game. Entella wasn't my destination club exactly (that was Genoa) but falls within the 30 mile radius allowed; 

My miles; 

Spoiler

206 rolled over + 11 + 24 + 34 = 275 total. 

Distance travelled; 

Just 9 miles wasted which isnt too bad. 

Confirmation;

@George Traistă I'll finish the season with Entella and send you the usual league/win screenshots today or tomorrow. Do you need me to pick 3 milers by the way? 

If you need anything else, just lemme know  

P.S = Hope I have screwed some predictions over here with my final move ha 😂

Congrats! No need for the 3 milers. 

2 lost out of 2 for @geordiekrispy😂

[Albionic]

I believe that is 2 out of 2 right for me though @George Traistă?

Yep! Spot on! 

[JamesVilla]

@George Traistă @Rich what happens with our predictions now we have reach destination club? Obviously don't need the miles, but what if any are wrong?

Nothing! You have reached your destination so you can't lose miles from the trip you already done, those miles were consumed already.

Make them move the club backwards along the route, stadium and all. Completely funded by player sales. 

[geordiekrispy]

So are we playing that when you get to your final club that's it? Or are we playing that you can still get points on the board for 3 seasons, in terms of trophies?

Just need to know if I'm playing on my lonesome for the next season or two

You play until you get to your destination club. You must play there for a minim one game or maximum until you finish that season. 

[geordiekrispy]

Do the people who've finished remove the season bonuses this season or going from next season?

From next season. 

This season 3 bonuses are in place: biggest win, most league points and least league goals conceded. Two of these bonuses will be removed next season (one from Kipy and one from Villa). 

[Albionic]

I am at the final destination!

I had 286 miles at the end of last season, and thanks to the bonus I got another 80 miles 😁 Giving me 366 miles

-25 as I have to pay Kane to use Paderborn

So 341 miles

Spoiler

My actual final destination is Bielefeld, but Paderborn is within 30 miles, so we are ok

 

So only @geordiekrispy to finish now!

I will probably play through the season

I'd say wait until I finish. I'm up to March so I can try and finish the season tonight it tomorrow morning (my time).

 

Yep looks like I'm last man standing @Albionic

 

All the more trophy points for me as unless @Rich just gives me the miles I'll need, I'm here for another full season I reckon.

[geordiekrispy]

Ok, season 12's scores have been submitted.

I'll need another season to get to my final club, but I've just realised that all the miles I've lost when I've moved clubs I could have been there this season.

Which would have worked out fine as my destination club has just been relegated bottom of the league and they'll probably change manager this season... So I'm not sure what I can do as there's no other clubs nearby.

[George Traistă]

I got all the results, I will do the write up tonight. @Richyou can think of a bonus? A bonus for your fellow toon @geordiekrispy. 

[Rich]

I won’t show favouritism to another Newcastle fan no way......or will I? 😝

[George Traistă]

A season full of surprises, nobody expected that... @JamesVilla to make only one good prediction, the one about himself 🤣 @broodje kip was even funnier, he made only one prediction and he was right and wrong in the same time as he made the same prediction for everyone. @geordiekrispy was a step up getting two correct predictions, 40 miles in the bag, 40 miles that may help him to get to the destination next season.

The best at predicting was @Albionic: 4 out of 4! 80 miles that helped him make his final move, if he did only 3 right predictions he wouldn't have the miles and lose the job, and he was very, very close to lose one! See his predictions:

Geordie got 127 miles from his milers, plus 40 from @Rich's bonus, 167 miles. I won't waste any space to talk about miles as 3 players finished so no need for extra miles. About trophies, Kipy had a big 0, Albionic 1 trophy, Villa 3 and Geordie 4.

 

And this is the last write up with season bonuses!

1. Most league points, @geordiekrispy was only one point away of equalizing the Best in France.

Spoiler

 

2. Biggest win (margin). This one goes also to @geordiekrispy.

Spoiler

 

3. Least league goals conceded. This is a new record, we have a new king, @Albionic!

The Board

Everybody moved on the right side of the board, everybody except hhooo and Villa that are both on the bottom side: hhooo is at 71 points and Villa at 75... you need to look closely as he get's under Richenda's dress 🤪

Albionic and Kipy passed Geordie that is now the last one... not for a long time!!

As only one players is left, there is no deadline, @geordiekrispy you can play at your pace! Bad luck!!

[Rich]

Bonus Alert

For every trophy you win, you get 25 miles.

Nice, easy and simple, just like me.

Ooh, that seems like it should be a good bonus for me.

[broodje kip]

All of you are very unlucky that Chris played half of this. I’d be have payed Rich for good bonuses earlier if I had played season 1 😂

Shouldn't that only by 20 miles? As I got two correct, so 40 miles, but got two wrong so -20 miles?

I know I shouldn't point it out... but I want it to be correct

[geordiekrispy]

Also, annoyingly this happened in between the Trophee des Champions and the Euro Super Cup...

As I'm the last man standing there's no harm in saying that my final club is on this list...

So I didn't have enough miles to go for it, I was toying with the idea of applying and then seeing what happened but it had gone after the next continue... So fingers crossed they are struggling and I can swoop in in about months time when I have the miles

Where should you finish? OM, Toulouse or Nice? I hope it’s Toulouse so that you can pay me and I can do nothing with it 😂

Correct! My bad 

[George Traistă]

We only have one player left on the board, @geordiekrispy, who only needed few miles to get to his destination... I think is no surprise now, we all know he must be close. Did he got the needed miles? YES! He almost got the needed miles only this season alone, 114 miles from his players and 125 from the Bonus as he got a clean sweep.

Did those miles helped him? NO! The destination club is not showing any signs of sacking his boss, Geordie can only do now is to wait!

 

No season bonuses to post and I will not post the usual owned clubs section... damn this write up is small 🤣 I will do say that Geordie will only get miles and trophy points until 26th December next season.

 

The Board

5 points pushed him forward passing @broodje kip and is now just two points behind @Albionic. With only two seasons left from this game the clock is ticking... will he manage to get the desired job next season? Place your bets!

 

No deadline and there is no point in @Rich giving a bonus now... will do if Geordie will move but not to his destination club.

Go go Geordie!!

[geordiekrispy]

Yeah, small update from me.

It's the Club World Cup this summer, so there's a total of 3 points up for grabs for me before I can stop earning miles/points in December.

 

On the subject of my moving, my destination club, who got relegated at the end of season 12, won Ligue 2 in season 13.

But they've had a player at the club since the start of the game and they've only sacked their manager twice...

A quick history of the team:

Season	Outcome
20/21	Promoted to Ligue 1
21/22	Relegated to Ligue 2
22/23	Ligue 2
23/24	Ligue 2
24/25	Ligue 2, Sacked Manager
25/26	Ligue 2
26/27	Promoted to Ligue 1
27/28	Relegated to Ligue 2
28/29	Promoted to Ligue 1
29/30	Ligue 1
30/31	Ligue 1, Sacked Manager
31/32	Relegated to Ligue 2
32/33	Promoted to Ligue 1
33/34	?

So I have no idea when they're going to get bored of their current "new" manager... As they seem to randomly have faith in their managers and sack them at what seems like weird times.

Toulouse!

[geordiekrispy]

So a quick update... the 3 available trophies have been obtained; Club World Cup (semi was against Lens, final against OM), Trophee des Champions (against Lens) and Euro Super Cup (against a manger-less FC Bayern).

My first league game was against Toulouse, who I hammered 4-0...
Fingers crossed their manager gets scared and runs away!

 

At this point I'm just auto picking my match squads and only looking in the second half of games so I can do a triple sub at 60mins...

Also a side note, my captain wouldn't sign a new contract last season, he let it run out, he left and then he signed for me again and now I'm on his naughty list as I "released him". I kept trying to get him to sign a new contract but he wouldn't even discuss terms.
