Nope, goals are very important as you will get 10 points if you reach your destination plus 5 points for each season you get it there earlier! This amount of points you can't get on a regular season 

Make this a UK challenge and you can get 5 in a season in NI with their 3 or 4 domestic cups depending on the year.

George had a plan to do it in the British Isle if the Europe one goes well.

George and I have a big multi-player single season project in the works as well... Damn these save slot limits.

Please not now, we’re going to see a lot of save overwrite like this 😂

Not now, we must wait for TTR or VPL to finish so the we don't do that 😁

There will be a space of maybe one month between this and that, so maybe the game hhooo is talking about can be done then? Not sure, still a lot of details on that game.

Question that is bound to come up as people start moving - how are league points counted if we move mid season? Do we take the points we earn at both clubs, or only the final total at the second club? 

The final total of the second club

[Albionic]

Another great write up @George Traistă ! 

I am surprised no one has moved yet, and am cursing Justin Kluiverts frail ankles.

Good luck for next season guys!

Bonus Points

Well done everyone on a great season everyone, you’re doing so well my little angels.

Anyway this week is a very straight forward bonus week, any natural CB that scores for you will get you an additional 1 mile. 
 

At the end of the season, send the players profiles and the players history of all centre backs that have scored for you.

I need to think of more complex ones 😂

Is it one mile per goal, or one mile per different player?

It’s funny when I seen that, I already had chosen this one, great minds and that 😂

Great write-up @George Traistă.

I really thought I'd gotten the lowest goals conceded with 6 goals, damn that sneaky @JamesVilla...

I really need to get my defence tighter... Might be easier now I can play my better keeper

By natural CB, do you mean someone who's greenest in central defence? Not a striker you're playing there

Yes light green in the CB position 😝

[Kanegan]

My league campaign was horrible, finishing 7th but our giant killing run continued in 2nd season as well:

Anjorin's hattrick downed the Bavarian giants in the Supercup while our loanee from Liverpool, Curtis Jones delivered us the Europa League against Bayer Leverkusen.

[JamesVilla]

Who did everyone pick as their keeper? 

I took full advantage of player exchanges and got one of the best keepers in game for mine.

Just few good keeper were interested to sign for a newly promoted so I got only ok-ish gk

I went a similar player exchange route and got this guy, who is the second best Italian goalkeeper behind Donnarumma, who I didn't have anyone i could exchange for him

[Chris]

Zoet was mine, was panicking a bit when the bonus got set, but then my tactic rarely keeps a clean sheet anyway. Well, it didn't the first season and that was with Onana in between the sticks...

No player exchange shenanigans here, just a plain mediocre keeper, compensated for by a world class defense. 

 

@Rich

I guess we should also clarify if the players need to play as CD, or if retraining midfielders is okay, before anyone gets too far in.

If they are light green in the CD position by the end of the season then that’s fine 👍

I like watching how people go about it that’s why I don’t give too many rules, PM’s always open for questions though 😝

Well you can expect some very interesting situations to unfold!

I’ve tried retraining players this year quite a bit and it takes longer than previous years, so I don’t think people will get as many as they think to natural green in one season.  Seeing how this goes I may be more strict from my next bonus or jusy he plain nasty 😂

[George Traistă]

As @hhooo already asked, some may change clubs mid season, see how bonus points will work:

Biggest transfer fee, biggest win and highest scoring draw, take it from both clubs

Most league points and least league goals conceded, take it from your second club only (because is about a finished season).

I'm waiting eagerly for your predictions @broodje kip! Not starting till they're done 😉

I'm with you on this one, I will stop just before my first game and wait for the predictions. 

BTW, just got this, 2 of my boys got in the World Best XI and the 3rd one is my best central defender, hopefully all 3 can contribute on miles this season. 

[geordiekrispy]

Ok, seeing as one of my main 3 got his release clause activated at the end of last season (honestly thought I'd have gotten largest transfer fee received bonus with it):

 

I now need to replace my main striker, I thought about just using my 2nd choice, but I don't think he's quite good enough. So I decided to spend some of that clause money and buy a more established striker who should have stats in all the right places to get me a good distance on this season at FC Copenhagen.

 

Spoiler

To say he seems to have hit the ground running feels like an insult to ground and running...

 

Finger crossed he can get me across most of Germany!

Will do mate. Just need a little time after the huge lost 😂

[geordiekrispy]

Side question... Are we counting goals scored by any CD's who may have subsequently been sold during the season?

Also, I think it would be fairer for least league goals to be a from both clubs;

From your initial club from season start up to you leaving (screenshot of league table/manager history just before you accept the new role) and from your new club when you take over to the end of the season (screenshot of league table when you take over).

I can't remember if your manager history can show two leagues totals?

Most clubs that sack their manager are going have been beaten quite a lot so their GA total is going to be fairly high.
