Career Goal-a-Mile in Portugal - Huge Season!


Albionic
 Share

Recommended Posts

Thanks for the comments and support @Rich @Paul186 @Gonzolito @StuartM and @Titjes, but now we have a dilemma.

Firstly, the season is going well

A very good youth intake.

And the league is looking good

There isn’t really one team running away with it, so despite dropping more points than I would have liked it is going well

But then, I received this in my inbox

D9EA701F-C6CA-4FE1-9AC8-F92F5A04CAA9.thumb.png.e3100851d90cc0e5a40dfe5ed184cec6.png

A new job! How far is it?

41 miles so not too far

So how many miles do we have

39. 😡

However, I think we can l agree that the route taken isn’t exactly the shortest and that the actual distance between the two is around 32 miles I discovered. So, do we allow the move?

However, there is also the consideration of whether I should move. We are top and starting to click, while olivierense are

0C34EA2A-0872-421E-8820-E6FDE10227D0.thumb.png.46a2925c2c15bcee680903a66f7434d4.png

comfortably bottom.

I think I would definitely get more miles with Freamunde this season, but olivierense have a higher rep.

So the dilemma is, am I allowed to move and should I?

Thanks for reading.

Wow, what a nice youth intake! I've never had anything looking that good in my whole FMM life...:O

I think I'd be gutted to leave such a nice season with such a promising team. Moreover to get a sh*tty job... But on the other way it looks like a nice challenge too!

I'd be you I'd stay :P

Going really well mate and that youth intake is lovely. Hard choice to go or not, I think I’d stay for the rest of the season but that’s just me 😁

Tsk, no way - if you could walk it in 39 miles, googly maps would tell you! Clearly there is a dragon-infested swamp or similar in the way :) this is goal a mile life my man!

Thanks for your input guys, but I think Mr Tree has solved my dilemma for me🤣🤣

Lets hope that youth intake can come good for me.

Well, after that mid-season interruption, things carried on well ... and then in typical fashion, collapsed😁

At the last update, we were top of the league, and things finished that way.

IMG_2637.thumb.PNG.897877a2b958b9caf112c8c4909776f0.PNG

With a much better goal difference than anyone else and more points, I was hoping for another 3rd division title to add to my collection. However, as you may have already guessed

IMG_2646.thumb.PNG.e6f5db180a00c7375bb1f0765ee7dfef.PNG

We collapsed, failing to win a single game. The squad was quite thin as I only really signed youth players in the transfer window, so probably lacked quality all over the pitch to win it. Plus, I was tinkering with tactics to try and get Lahaye to score more

Speaking of Lahaye, he is looking quality now

IMG_2639.thumb.PNG.f32f3c33491d3253e0fbc8f4abe4866f.PNG

IMG_2638.thumb.PNG.40484bc00a174ad297b8f97e8b13754e.PNG

And he matched his goal return from last year, albeit in more games. Hopefully, with some solid additions in the summer and some development from players he will score more next year. But, these messages continue to appear

IMG_2640.thumb.PNG.cb088013f0220a2b57d107a18d843bc7.PNG

One appeared right before the playoffs, which may explain our drop in form.

 

Anyway, transfers are here

Just a shed load of youth players to try and unearth some gems.

Best performers

And finally, a summary of the miles we have gained

Now, the plan for next season. I will probably not look for jobs over the summer, just because of how good Lahaye is relative to the league, but depending on performance, we may have to move sometime next season.

So, thanks for reading, and comments are always much appreciated.

Great work mate, he looks fantastic, very unlucky with the second part of the league, good luck next season, Looking forward to seeing how you do😁

Thanks @Rich and @Gonzolito for the support, I bring you a little mid-season update, with some exciting developments

First of all, had another excellent youth intake

IMG_2647.thumb.PNG.34c736e2cd959aa543d75152fd259c8c.PNG

Don't know what it is about Freamunde and the local youth, but they certainly aren't bad

The league, like last year, is going nicely

IMG_2652.thumb.PNG.17357411677a22234b63c32ae95d7ee7.PNG

But the cup, on the other hand, is where the real fun has been

After making it through the second round (our first round) quite easily, we were drawn against Porto. Not the B team, actual Porto. So, I wasn't expecting much, but

IMG_2650.thumb.PNG.9e50f293604cf33364bdee621677acd9.PNG

We only went and beat them! (sidenote to this game - every goal was from a corner)

Then we made it through the fourth and fifth round, and our opponents for the sixth round are

IMG_2651.thumb.PNG.c0681aa4997ed07301913af54b7a8724.PNG

Oh dear. Sporting, in perfect form, under the guidance of Stevie G. Lets see how this one turns out

Also, Lahaye isn't looking half bad now

IMG_2656.thumb.PNG.d638a3df018523d185636fe22df785fa.PNG

I would sign him for most premier league teams in a heartbeat, and he recently signed a new contract!

He has scored a few goals as well

IMG_2657.thumb.PNG.cb18cf1538a4a357f73337093fd2690f.PNG

Just the 41 goals in 21 games😂

He has been aided by this man quite a bit

IMG_2654.thumb.PNG.1efc1df2127d85db6aeb92e4c1a4e25d.PNG

Our designated corner taker, he has a few assists

IMG_2655.thumb.PNG.9c5dff552862223853a68bef7c49a641.PNG

Both Montalegre old boys, signed for a total of £61k between them. Madness

On a strange side note, this message came through

IMG_2648.thumb.PNG.5fe62d594be2a06c8f231c70d11eac9b.PNG

I'm just going to ignore it and move on ...

 

We are around halfway through the season now, so hopefully Lahaye can carry on his ridiculous form ( He has scored 5+ goals in a game 3 times already, twice against 1 team). I am definitely not thinking of moving now!

Is cup glory going to come our way? Probably not, but we can try.

Thanks for reading and comments are always appreciated.

Oh God! I would also sign these young guys immediately for 20x their price! This Reynald guy looks quite the man.... And what a youth intake you have.... I'm quite jealous haha :P

Maybe you can reach the end of your challenge just by staying at this club :laugh:

Thanks for the comments @Gonzolito @Rich and @Paul186, my scattergun approach of buying every 5 star potential recruit I could seems to have payed off! Speaking of offers, quite a few have come in for them, let me tell you. 

We managed to achieve what we failed to last year

IMG_2665.thumb.PNG.3a97ac8d4f72b8af330232e156afcec6.PNGIMG_2666.thumb.PNG.a31ceaa30717696e2ab705f07f9862af.PNG

Promotion, and finally winning the league, against the old boys Montalegre, whom we will face in the second division next year.

Interestingly enough the only 2 games we lost all year were to the same team, Alvarenga. They must have some strange tactical insight into our system, or Lahaye is scared of one of their centre backs or something

And I was possibly slightly too excited about the cup run

IMG_2673.thumb.PNG.2b1d33bbf4172f65403583c8efa2741e.PNG

we got hammered, although Sporting did make the final eventually, so can't be too disappointed

IMG_2672.thumb.PNG.78e1649aacd8c934541c8e12ae4b4e24.PNG

As for Lahaye, he just carried on scoring

IMG_2669.thumb.PNG.510327e5284864250070c10fc1057919.PNGIMG_2670.thumb.PNG.67fa4898134152f65969013012f70aa0.PNG

I would like to credit my incredible tactic for the almost 2 GPG, but in reality it is probably more to do with the fact he is a champions league level player playing in the Portuguese third tier.

The legend that is Theo Fonseca left us after a few good years, but the offer was way too good to turn down. Almeida and Rey added experience to my generally very young squad

Best performers

IMG_2671.thumb.PNG.315891b89e89b5fb88d9f7e4f7df84bf.PNG

As you can see, not many goals scored by anyone else.

Special mention goes to this guy

IMG_2668.thumb.PNG.ba1ca6487b299d20d702281444b6b239.PNG

Who forms part of my dynamic front three with Lahaye and Dos Santos, and I am definitely not maximising his abilities. Not sure how good he would be as a centre back though

So, after that monster season, we are on 116 miles

25021045_Screenshot2022-01-11at21_03_34.png.4e244950f9a60ff1a9b0cf5e8079fb9c.png

With Lahaye more than doubling the previous mile total, and almost scoring more in one year than Bouzrara scored in 3. Not bad.

As for looking for more jobs, I am probably going to stay and see how we get on in the second tier. Most of the jobs are around Lisbon, which is around 200 miles away, so it may be another couple of seasons until I move. Having said that, if the right job comes up...

Anyway, thanks for reading, and comments are always appreciated.

I'm back with another season, and another successful one at that!

We ended last year with promotion to the second tier, and after the last time we were there I wondered if it would be a step too far

IMG_2696.thumb.PNG.2559386455ae5af7788abc4610030f2a.PNG

Evidently not

Spoiler

IMG_2718.thumb.PNG.a43645c65f1eb97dc4acb79e2e5b0a4d.PNG

Well, was the step up too much for Lahaye?

IMG_2705.thumb.PNG.7e3d944704cd29c0a447c42ef292f4c7.PNG

Spoiler

IMG_2704.thumb.PNG.aacec2f4254905a3b4211e44f11ad7cc.PNG

Evidently not

So, the only change this season was the cup run went a little bit further

IMG_2717.thumb.PNG.a283d58234bd0f5a827c49e41ea700ac.PNG

A miraculous run, only facing two top tier sides the whole way to the final, as can be seen in the fixtures below

We lost 2 games all season. Not bad.

So here is the table for the miles

443863545_Screenshot2022-01-24at21_00_13.png.9bb488844592ad5bef6ea4f01c3500db.png

176 miles in the bank, but there are problems on the horizon. Lahaye and Dos Santos only have 1 year left on their contracts, so if they don't resign we will have to move, but most of the clubs are in Lisbon which is around 200+ miles away, and there aren't many before that. So, fingers crossed he resigns, or we get the miles and the move. 

Thanks for reading.

Cracking season again mate, well done, good luck for the next season, I’m sure you’ll end up getting a good move  💪🏻

Well, it has been almost 5 months, and I played this 5 months ago so I cannot remember what happened at all, so let's try and figure it out 😀

Firstly, team success

IMG_2775.thumb.PNG.a590498596b5edef6aa6c34d3fbc57af.PNG

Spoiler

IMG_2986.thumb.PNG.2e936329d3de47fa9c94cad1e47d4758.PNG

We seem to have won the league, not sure how that happened as we only got promoted last year! 

We also won the league cup but got knocked out early in the PT Cup

IMG_2774.thumb.PNG.d1f2382cd92dab3ed5eaa6ac249dfdfc.PNG

But even more surprisingly, we seem to have won the Euro Cup, after getting into it via the cup as a second-tier team, beating Real Madrid in the final

IMG_2780.thumb.PNG.9269ccf2b62cd9b4c11b8251ee593710.PNG

With an all-time reverse FMMing 🤣

But, (I think) the main part of this challenge is goals from Lahaye, and he scored quite a few

IMG_2988.thumb.PNG.ce8c5be6ab4f22b65e28b75d40b6d254.PNG

Spoiler

IMG_2989.thumb.PNG.67764d0733dd163f3a2a169a2490c5ed.PNG

It seemed to be essentially a carry job, as Dos Santos I think left in January, and so Lahaye carried an average team the rest of the year.

He had a few awards

Spoiler

IMG_2782.thumb.PNG.950cdac13e8478a3cdf96c31fadf58ca.PNGIMG_2781.thumb.PNG.966df830a5d6ab3de9a1ef76062e21ab.PNG

But most importantly, this happened

IMG_2770.thumb.PNG.70009ef26a6a30a95a32342504c80b9a.PNG

He signed a new contract! Again, no idea why, but he did.

Boring transfer stuff

So we now have 237 miles, as shown in the table below

No idea what I am going to do next, I might even play this save again, but thought i might as well post this as I had already completed the season
