All I will say, in fear of upsetting either, is you are both doing very well. I suggest you try and make friends though. 

Thank you.

I do not mind people saying Scratch is doing well. I am glad he is. It will make victory all the more sweet. Or, if we lose, we will have lost to a worthy opponent.

As for making friends, I leave that to Scratch. I am not good at such things. But I have no wish for enmity. Perhaps people misunderstand me...

Season 3

Wow, it's taking me a long time to get through this save...

Season 2 was a nice step forward, with 172 goals and 108 assists, both 20 more than in season 1. Of course we had a few easy games in the Club World Championship to boost those numbers. I'm not sure we'll be able to hit them again - especially in the crazy 2022 World Cup year, when the games come crazy fast and they need to be rested etc.

It was time for some of the squad players to move on, including favourites such as Mikey (sorry @broodje kip) Johnston and Captain Callum McGregor. We brought in Berge, Pellegrini and Ricci, along with some regens who look good.

 

A Lesson In Determination

Adam Armstrong's personality is described as Determined. It fits, but he might have met his match with me...

I tried to sign him to a new contract throughout the season, but he wanted £350K p/w and and £3.4M sign on fee, when our maximums are £65K p/w and £1.3M. Near the end of the season, his agent came to me and complained about his contract. Said he wanted £32K p/w. I wasn't having that after all the trouble, so I drove it down to £25K.

We lost the semi final of the CWC (as mentioned in the last update), but I didn't realise there was a 3rd place playoff awaiting us. It seems Bayern were surprised too, as we smashed them 5-2 to claim 3rd. Yes, the 3rd place playoff never matters, but it still felt good to crush a big team.

The rest of the season was mixed - a massive season in the league with 148 goals and a straightforward Scottish Cup victory, but we lost the Betfred Cup final with the decider in the 2nd minute of stoppage time and Man City knocked us out of the UCL Quarter Final on away goals.

 

The Lads

Here's what they look like at the end of the season:

Armstrong, Colidio and Vignato have all maxed out. Colidio increases are injury recovery, which took most of the season (very slow). Hornby and Unuvar both had nice advances.

 

Injuries

We were exceptionally lucky with injuries this year, with only Colidio missing 10 days and Armstrong missing a few days:

A good solid season, but I'm looking forward to seeing how they go next season when they can get on the field a little more.

Thanks for reading.

Love that! Just love seeing Adam Armstrong being used again, massive soft spot, hope to see him back at Newcastle someday.

Yeah, my first 1KC striker for that reason and I keep coming back to him. And he's awesome in this save!  Wasn't so great other times over used him recently though.

I keep thinking I might create a "Never Go Back" challenge, where you can only sign players who've previously been at the club. That'd be interesting and give us an excuse to sign him at Newcastle again..

Some left, but need not be spoken of. They were not the core of the pack.

Some arrived, three young pups and a seasoned hunter who had been cast out by his pack.

The League was easy again, as was the PT Cup, but Benfica knocked us out of the League Cup for the second year in a row. We were knocked out of the UCL at the group stage, but went on to win the Euro Cup, beating AC Milan 2-1 in the final.

The hunters are growing strong:

Injuries

Cangiano missed 10 days, Koita missed 10 days and Scamacca missed 1 month:

We had a strong season and are now in front of Scratch's golden boys. I am most proud of the teamwork the pack showed to get so many assists.

We will only get stronger from here. Scratch's crew has our respect, but we do not fear them and we should be able to build a bigger lead next season. But for now we rest.

Thanks for reading...

Everything are going very well except Arzani maybe. He doesn’t seems to be much impressive but the other lads are carrying him well.

Arzani is smaller than the other hunters. Normally he has to wait until they tire before he can feed. But he has heart and all the lads love him like a brother.

Season 4

We're slowly getting through this save. We're definitely on pace for 1.5K goals and almost on pace for 1K assists, so it's looking good.

Not a lot of movement this time around - a couple of fringe players sold, a couple of promising youngsters coming in and ... Joe Willock. I really didn't need Willock and he didn't do that well to be honest, but at £2.2M I couldn't resist. I'll probably have to sell him next season though.

We won everything domestically, scoring 155 goals in the league (and winning every game), but Liverpool knocked us out of the UCL at the semi final stage. We've normally won the UCL by now, so that's a real target for next year now.

A couple of the lads showing signs of being slightly worse off from the injuries. Speaking of which...

 

Injuries

A few injuries this year (not counting in game injuries to a couple of the lads):

  • Colidio: 2 weeks.

  • Hornby: 2 weeks, then 3 weeks, then another 3 weeks which turned into 2 months for physio.

  • Armstrong: 1 month.

There is something fishy going on here though, it seems there have been some strange posts in this thread that I can't work out. Not sure what to make of them, but will be looking into it.

Thanks for reading.

I was reading through the earlier posts and it seems like you were kind of losing the plot.😂

You seem to have calmed down a bit now and things are certainly going well for both lots.

McKennie left, Christensen left and some others. Good pack members, but better hunters joined and challenged them, forcing them to move on.

Joining the pack were Theo Hernandez, Under, Locatelli, Gravenberch and others. Very good players. I mean hunters.

A good season given the injuries, and we stay in front of Scratch's lads. It's pretty close though.

 

Final Thoughts

The hunt is enjoyable, but I am getting tired. Still Stamina is important on the hunt, so we will be back

Thanks for reading...

So in news that will not surprise 6 of the 11 players in the slightest, I think I've lost interest in this one... 🙁 Mr Bite's going to be mighty p*ssed at me.

I don't think I enjoyed the swapping back and forth, meant I couldn't get a rhythm going. Also, I think there were just too many players involved. I really liked all of them and it was sort of good to have plenty of players to go on with when one was injured, but maybe just a little too many.

But really the biggest problem is I had another idea I really wanted to try - a challenge I haven't tried before. Been thinking about it for a while, even mapped out about 10 players I could try it with, then someone started one here a month or so ago and I can't stop thinking about it. So I've tentatively started it. 

Not 100% sure I'll see that one through, maybe I'll abandon that one as well - I'm going for the "Most abandoned careers" entry in this years Vibe Awards. 

I might even come back to this one as I love seeing Armstrong and the other lads scoring etc... But I'm pausing it for now...

You have been great at writing up careers over the last few years and have earned a good following on this site. It’s hard to keep the momentum going and you have done well.  The past 6 months I have gotten more enjoyment from reading others careers on this site than I have playing my own ones. So hats off to you for you enthusiasm and the effort you put in

Thanks mate! Much appreciated. I genuinely enjoy creating a good write up, but there are times where I need a break from FMM and I haven't really had one this year. But the other problem is I just have too many things I want to do and it's hard to stick with things when it gets into the 'boring stage'.

Thanks mate. It's no great secret or mystery. I really want to try a split 1K (500 goals/500 assists). I'd been lining up possible players for some time - players that've been pretty good at assisting for me, such as: Fabio Vieira, Daramy, Bellingham, Verschaeren, Mikey, Vignato, Unuvar, etc. Then when @Ian started his, my desire to give it a go really ramped up.

I started a save at FC Kobenhavn - I'd never managed in Denmark before and wanted to give it go. I figured it would be a bit like Celtic in Scotland and that seems to be about right, just with less cash... I did my research and found it was only 32 games, but I figured I might be able to keep him on the pitch more - turns out they have the whole of January off, but still cram games into midweek etc, so that might not pan out, I was hoping for 1 game per week.

I tried to get Vieira as he'd bubbled to number 1 on my list, but he didn't want to come, so I fell back to another on my list (not mentioned above): Diego Lainez. I've used him a lot, normally as an out and out winger, but I did once retrain him as a AMC (he's yellow) and he did well. I figured I'd train his crossing for corner assists but use him as a T behind a front two. New tactic for me, for the first time in forever - no Ws! 

Anyway first season just done. Fun so far. Not quite 30 of each. Was injured for 3 weeks which really slowed him down, sluggish when he came back. Should be getting better numbers when I ramp the team up. Not sure I'll write it up until I'm sure I'll stick with it.

Looking forward to your next career scratch, I was a bit scared of Mr Bite even thought he had more of bark than a bite 😉

Thanks mate. Mr Bite's still in here somewhere, might be useful at times, but yeah he's not the most social...
