Career My first challenge - Chelsea Wonderkids

[Mr B]

Seeing all the challenge threads on here has made them look really fun and I want to have a go myself now. The Chelsea one looks like a lot of fun, fairly straightforward and a short one to do in and out of alongside my main save. 

I haven't really started at all yet (only just loaded up) and haven't decided who I'm going to use for it. This is just putting a post out there to motivate me to keep it up and to ask if there are any generic pointers that a newbie challenger needs to look out for. I'm assuming that realistic tactics are not what I want and that it's OK to allow budgets in the first transfer window? 

Thanks for any help/support/cheerleading.

Yeah you can allow budgets mate 👍

Good luck on your first challenge, it’s a fun one 😁

Decided on Havertz, Pulisic, Abraham and Werner. Had a bit of a play with tactics in friendlies and ready to start the season!

Made a steady start. Think I need to work out how to get more of the goals coming through my main men, Merino and Henderson are stealing them!

Good luck with this. Lovely challenge to start with - @Scratch created a great one.

Nice start mate, I’m sure it will only get better from here 😁

Nice start @Mr B - good luck with this one, hope you enjoy it! And please ping me at the end (in case I miss it) and I'll add you to the leaderboard!

Good luck mate!

[Mr B]

Thanks guys

This isn't going to help...

Fortunately it was right before an international break, so won't be quite that bad. 

[Mr B]

Just started January and looking like this. 

Surprised at how well the tactic is doing. Only two losses in the champions league, but still won the group,  and one draw in the league. Won every other game, but disappointed about how many games that should be easy wins I'm only just scraping through. Need to find a more ruthless tactic if I try this again. 

[Rich]

Good start mate! Keep at it and I’m sure your tactic will kill it 😁

[Mr B]

Oh Pulisic...

 

[broodje kip]

Oh man that’s unlucky 

[Rob]

Awful luck 

[Mr B]

Pulisic is back with a goal and 3 assists against Dortmund. Boom! 

And shortly after I get this! Havertz and Pulisic both got an assist too.

Finished!

Happy to go unbeaten on the league, but disappointed at the lack of really big scores. This is only my first challenge though and hopefully I'll start to develop some tactics which can hit the big numbers. It was really fun, thanks @Scratch for coming up with the challenge and everyone for the support.

 

League pts 110

Goal dif 69

Werner 34+6 = 40

Abraham 30+7 = 37

Havertz 21+19 = 40

Pulisic 19+9 = 28

Total: 324

Lovely score that. Well done! 👍

[Rich]

That’s a great effort mate, well done 😁

[Mr B]

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it for a first attempt. Already thinking about what I could have done better though!
