Career Kickback - Badge 04 & 05 attempt

[KickbackFootball]

Hello!

So i failed to win my Gabriel Jesus Challenge with Manchester City. But hey 👋. I ain't a quitter 😆. So here's my second attempt. But with a twist, I'm also gonna attempt the Bruno Fernandes Challenge. 😬.

So here i am:

I personally don't like Manchester United but it's for the Badge 🤧💪. Plus I did not want to take Manchester City again for the Jesus Challenge. Ok. My Transfers. Obviously i had to buy Gabriel Jesus from Manchester City 😆🤷🏼‍♂️. But i also wanted to buy KDB (since he was so good in the previous game). I was tempted to do what @broodje kip said and play Jesus on the wing but i wanted to try him one more time as striker. Alright enough talk. Here's my Transfers.

I had to get real stingy to get this deals done. Now in an ideal world (where i sold half my team 😂) I could have kept Pogba but nah mate, I didn't want City to be too weak 😉😆. Plus i probably wouldn't have got KDB even for 225 mil if I didn't swap 😬. Soria isn't free. It was a straight swap for De Gea (why soria? I'll get to that later)

My Tactic/Gameplan:

I'll be playing a narrow formation. Hopefully with lot's of passing 😬🙏.

Rest of the Tactic:

Alright that's the plan.

Now for my 3 Wise Men:

1. Bruno Fernandes 🤩

2. Kevin de Bruyne 😎

3. Luis Alberto 😍

Can't wait to start this challenge. I have the top hree most valuable mids. Jesus better be banging them goals in 😆. I thought of making Van de Beek my Third Wise Men but when i saw i could swap D. James for Alberto + 80 mil. It was too good to pass up.

Look at that 🤩😍🤩.

A Weird Side Story

Alright, so lemme explain why i bought Soria, it's because Musso, Livakovic and Strakosha were all bought. By the same freaking club!!

Neuer is injured for a long period, this ppl panicked i think, and bought three really good goalies 😂👀.

Career ending injury perhaps? 🤔😭😂.

Community involved participation:

Now now, you didn't think i forgot about you awesome ppl did you 😏😎. I need your help again. This time i unfortunately cant let you choose my Wise Men 😂. However, i have 20 million left in the bank, i need a Central Defender. To rotate with Tuanzube and Jones. So common boys! Gimme a Defender, or two. 💪💪💪. Show me your experienced talents 😂.

I loaded, Germany, France, Russia along with England.

Let's go!! Help the no so newbie but still a newbie earn two badges with a single career 😆😂. Tbh, I'm so confident about my wise men that i feel i can break @Rich jesus record and @Ian Fernandes record 😆. (So gonna get humbled in reality 😂)

 

Also, @Rob how many times can i legally attempt a challenge before I'm disqualified? Thrice? 😅.

Good luck mate, interesting going forward the two badges in one, good thinking though. As for CB’s I’d maybe go for Jerome Oguene, Sebastián Bornauw, Niklas Stark or Jamal Lascelles👍

[broodje kip]

Good luck. I’d recommend Pau Torres to sign

Sorry 😕. Oguene, Stark and Bornauw were already in new clubs and Lascelles was injured 🤦🏼‍♂️.

@broodje kip Torres didn't want to come to Utd. He went to Madrid instead 😅

However i made some shrewd business 😃.

Got Ajer for 8 mil 👍. He looks good for a Rotation player.

And that left me with 12 mil so i went for 

Zakaria. I didn't need Diallo so i sold him. 👍😎. 

 

Alright I'm ready to start my season. Update ya'll soon. ❤️💪.

Oooh great signings. I love Ajer and Zakaria they’re both very reliable all the time.

Another couple of great deals there mate, impressive in the transfer window 😁

[Kanegan]

Elvedi is another good choice. Some great signings made so far though. Good luck with the two challenges.

[Chelseaplchamps2022]

Lovely transfer business there mate!

[Ian]

Yes a very good idea to combine the two challenges I think. I’ve tested two T’s positioned like that and one thing I noticed was that they just tended to stand on top of each other. It mightn’t be a bad thing though with it being Bruno and KDB but if it is or you think it is you could try a different role for one of them like maybe the SS role which is what I did.

Good luck.

Yeah i switched Bruno to an SS but uf it's big match, i make him a AM. They've both been brilliant will update my mid season stats soon.

First of all, @Rich and @Ian you get to keep your leaderboard records. I give you my utmost respect. Idk how you got Jesus to score but 👍. Cause i Failed to get him firing. But i did reach the benchmark 😎. Alright without further ado.

Oh hold up, how can i forget this, I bloody bought another UCL to Manchester United. Ok not me but the man, the myth, the legend- Mr Alessio Romagnoli! Seriously, Sevilla shut down Alberto and KDB, i thought oh no! But fear not for Mr Italian did the Italian Job 😎

Clutch Performance i say!! 😃🤣.

Alright i also won the Carabao and EPL.

However i couldn't beat City all 3 times i met them 😕 (one in fa cup hence no fa cup win). And in one match, i had to eat my own transfer decisions 🤣. Pogba showed up and demolished me.

Look at that. Paul Pogba was waiting to drop some bodies when we visited them 🤣.

Alright now to the serious stuff. The Benchmarks!!

Gabriel Jesus

He's terrible. The Worst Premium Striker in the game. Lol. Ok i admit that I really don't know how to use Strikers who can't play the Target Man or Complete Striker role. 😅😬. That being said, he also got injured 😕. Mid-way through the season.

Hence, season over for him. He ended up with the following stats:

Not great but he got injured so I can't say how he would have been.

However that gave me time to make some tactical tweaks, like using Cavani Full time.

My First Wise Men: Fernandes.

Bruno was on such a damn roll. Like a roll so good I was sure he would achieve everything i was aiming for. But, on April 1st yes, on APRIL Fool's Day, he got injured. I thought it's a FMM prank but alas it was really an injury 😕.

Bloody Game 🤣

He had these Stats:

Excellent season despite being cut short.

So once this happened i had to make tactical changes. So i changed my formation.

I used this. With Alberto and KDB as CAM's.

Kevin de Bruyne:

What a player. This man's a cheat code I'm telling yah. I'll always buy him if i can for every challenge 🤣. Nuff talking I'll just show you.

48 goals and 42 Assist 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯.

He won every individual Trophy. Man has all the Player of the Month's too 🤣.

Now this is where it gets Crazy. Like bonkers carzy kinda Stats. The type where i started to wonder, why did i not do this from the first game??

My team scored a Staggering 198 goals 🤯 two away from a double century in one season 🤯. And even crazier is that out of those 198, my wise men combined to score 145 of those 198 goals 🤯.

Luis Alberto:

50 goals. My top Scorer 💪👀💪. Also 28 assist. See? This boy's saved my challenge 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Badge 04:

For this the benchmark was 100 with Jesus needing minimum 10 goals and and the wise men an assist of 10 each minimum.

My total came to be: 

Gabriel Jesus - 12 Goals.

Bruno Fernandes - 22 Assist.

KDB - 42 Assist 🤯.

Luis Alberto - 28 assist 🤧❤️.

Which means my total is 104 points 😭🤣. Man that was close 🤣. Just 4 above the benchmark. All thanks to the King and in game Cheat Code Mr Kevin de Bruyne 😍😏🤘.

Badge 05:

For this i need a minimum of 25 goals and 15 assist from Bruno Fernandes😬. No worries i got the benchmark despite his injuries 😎.

Bruno Fernandes had 47 Goals and 22 Assist. So the total is 47 + 22x2 (cause every assist is two points). Which is... 91. Yep, 91 points. I'll take that 🤣🤣🤣.

Thanks a ton to @Rob and @Rich for making such fun challenges. Now time to attempt that Borussia Babes 👀😆. Haaland!!!?? Here i come baby 🤣.

Yeah know what? I'm still so mesmerised by this 👇

This is gonna be one mf hard score to beat 😆. Romagnoli is now my fav. Gonna go comment on the must buy forum 🤣🤣🤣. 

[Ian]

Well done.

Unlucky with the Bruno injury but suppose it’s somewhat good that it came towards the end of the season once he’d completed his challenge.

Romagnoli is also one of my favourite centre backs.

Good luck at Dortmund. 

[Rich]

Well done on getting your badges mate! Awesome stuff, especially as you’re new to the game. I shall add you to the leaderboard of the Bruno challenge now mate. Good luck at Dortmund 😁

[broodje kip]

Well done mate. Good luck at Dortmund

[Scratch]

Great job with this mate, fantastic idea to combine badges, with I'd thought of it!

Super bad luck with that injury though...
