Career Jumping on the bandwagon. My split 1KC attempt. (S10) DONE!

[Dai_]

With the looming release of FMM22 I think I have time to squeeze out one more career before it comes out.

I have been inspired by the attempts of others at this challenge. I'm decent at creating tactics to get goals out of player(s) or assists out of a player but never a serious amount together so this will be a good challenge for me.

I have been testing tactics & players to use for quite a while and believe I've come up with something that could get me to the target.

 

THE CLUB

After changing my mind SO MANY times I settled on Real Madrid. They are the team i first completed a challenge on vibe with (a 1kc with Greenwood) and I haven't really used them in any long winded challenge since. It might be an easy choice but I seriously hate managing in Spain just because of the release clauses. It adds a bit more of bite for me.

 

THE PLAYER

Again, I changed my mind which player I wanted to use too many times to mention. I settled on Almada because of a few reasons which I'll keep to myself, for future reference. Hopefully he'll do the business for me.

 

SEASON ONE:

 

Transfers:

Spoiler

Lots of incomings & outgoings. It's really easy to assemble a world class squad with Real Madrid. 

 

Competitions:

Spoiler

Winning is our thing, already!

 

Almada:

He got an early injury which impacted his results slightly. He missed a month.

Spoiler

Improvements in key areas. Shooting still needs to be better though.

A decent return. I'm happy.

Awesome Start there Dai, great signings as well, I have no doubt you’ll kill this.

Great start Dai! Pretty sure you will finish this unless you decide to change your username to Rich, Scratch or broodje kip

Season 2

 

Transfers:

Spoiler

 

Competitions:

Spoiler

Managed to win the Club World Cup twice in the same season. Which was nice. More games means better results for Almada, hopefully.

 

Almada:

He stayed injury free this year.

Tasty improvements!

These are the target goals and assists each year now. Great return but I think there's more i can get out of him.

Good start, this will be very easy for him

[Scratch]

Wow, great start! You hit the 50/50 much earlier than I did, great stuff. And most importantly the balance between goals and assists looks pretty good. 

I gotta say I'm a big fan of Almada and have bought him many times. Seems like the perfect player for this, can work in that AMC area, but can be retrained as a striker if you ever need that (though seems you don't need it!). I'm thinking this will be massive!

Cheers mate. Yeah. I entered this wanting an even split all the way through, if I can. He seems capable anyway. As his shooting improves further he'll hopefully score a few more. The amount of times he gets one on one and misses the target is annoying. Same with his crossing. As it gets better he'll get more assists. That's all dependant on having appropriate players in the right places at corner time, as you now know 🤣. Most assists so far come from subtle little through balls to my striker.

I'm not sure the score will be massive. I'm hoping to get it done in 10 seasons. It'll be a bit of a stretch but 10 seasons is always my target.

[Rich]

Cracking season dai, you are one of the best at this game for me, keep it up mate

Why, thank you, Sir. I wouldn't say one of the best as I'm reluctant to try new things that could potentially improve my scores. I'm always scared that any changes will hinder my results so I'm guilty of just settling on what I have. I admire players like yourself and Scratch for having the balls to try new things, even when it could blow up in your faces.

Season 3

 

Transfers:

Spoiler

I forgot the incoming transfers page. It only included Reece James coming in. I used Neco Williams in the deal. I wanted to use Williams from the start but he suffered an 11 month injury in the first season and never really regained his place in the team after that.

 

Competitions:

Spoiler

Clean sweep including a perfect League season.

 

Almada:

He suffered just one 10 day injury. It kept him out longer than that though which is frustrating. 

Spoiler

He seems to be close to his limit now. Slightly disappointed at his shooting and crossing potentially staying where they are at but he still looks good. But not great.

Assists were good but a massive drop in goals. We and he played less games but I was still hoping for a goal a game, at least by this stage.

He seems to get into great scoring opportunities and fluff his chances far too often. Its a concern.

Season 4

 

Transfers:

Spoiler

I'm still happy with the squad so don't feel the need to change much.

 

Competitions:

Spoiler

Winning trophies is just the norm.

 

Almada:

Suffered a minor injury. Just 10 days. It didn't hit him as bad as last season, thankfully.

Spoiler

 

A few improvements from last season but nothing extreme. Still no call up to the Argentina squad, which is ridiculous. 

Better goal return this year but still not where it needs to be. Going to retrain him as a striker and throw him up front now and again to see if it helps going forward.

A two season update:

Season 5

 

Transfers:

Spoiler

The opportunity to sign Haaland on a free was too hard to refuse.

 

Competitions:

Spoiler

 

Lost a League game. 😲 Still won everything though.

 

Almada:

No injuries this season. Thats massive in a year that included the Club World Cup.

Improvement has stopped. Just have to keep him from declining now.

I was hoping for more goals considering the amount of games but anything over 50 I consider a great return.

His best scoring season, by far! About bloody time too. Suddenly, the sorts of chances he was missing early on in this career he's started to convert. Another consistent season for assists too.

A drop in goals but the consistency season after season in assists is crazy.

So, I've managed to complete this within the ten season target I set myself. Thoroughly enjoyed scoring so many goals. I'm proving to myself that I can create tactics for other things than 1kc's and the like.

 

Thanks to anyone that followed this. 👍

Thanks. I've always known about him due to the wonderkids list on here. Only when I was researching which player to use for this did I notice how good he could be.

Just caught up now Dai, you have done awesome mate as I knew you would, great choice of player, never used him before. You certainly cracked the 50/50 👌
