What’s the policy on unlockables for this?

I imagine you have to earn them like with a DT? And have to apply for ITN job rather than starting with it? I'm assuming all the normal DT rules, but @Rob you better confirm.

Makes sense. Just checking.

Nah, makes sense to ask! Avoids people making assumptions that could be wrong and then having things get messy later. So we better get Mr @Rob to clarify...

@Robalways abides by all rules so i would say ZERO unlockables.

Same. Think I’ve gone too wonderkid heavy. Need to hit the ground running with this one

I didn’t want to do another Celtic save so I went with…

Yeah, need all the advantages you can get for this, and they fit the bill. And it's been a few careers since I've used them (recently been at Inter and Anderlecht), so I'm not in that position where I'm too sick of them. Tel and Cho by the way. Couldn't find a pairing I really liked (ie really tall strikers), so went with them as I know they are class. 

[Kanegan]

Good luck everyone. Can't imagine myself coming even close to this. A normal DT is more than enough for me.

I am going to try this challenge.

I think it should be possible with the right players, ITN, and extending retirement 

Ive run couple season for now. I even may still start to think it may be doable. I tried my tactics with Haaland-Mbappe duo and got 171 goals between them. If we also include itn goals 210-220 should be doable. I will mesh with those tactics little bit more to adjust my preffered players. Its been long time since i managed to complete 20+ years career, still not convinced to try it this time also .

See how you say not unlockables unless earnt during save.

Take it that means work permits too?

Because they are a bloody nightmare this year!!!

I haven't found them too bad this year, but I guess I just use them as a sign of quality. If a player don't get one automatically or one first appeal, then I forget them as not being quite good enough and move on.

@Rob can confirm, but I am 99.9% certain you can't start with the ITN job, you have to apply for it in game and earn it that way.

Good luck by the way, decent choices!

I got him to Celtic first time with a work permit, Luis Guilherme needed an appeal though. Guess we both got max PA if he finally got work permit then!

No, that would be using unlockables

I want to tell my fair mind for this challenge..i think the only way to achieve this is to count the goal contributions for the 2 up front...i think its impossible to have 20 years with 100 goals each.. or maybe not?? 🧐

Thanks. I started my save. Should I make a separate topic?

Yep. Post a career so we can follow. Good luck mate. Interested to see who you’ve gone with.

Perhaps it’s possible. Assuming you find a way to bring your strikers to play until they’re 40, I think you can milk around 30-50 goals per season in total in the early and late age of their career. Gotta need huge returns in their prime though.

Really im looking forward to all of you crazy dudes who start this madness!! Hats off to you!! 😎

Of those who take part in this, I reckon folks fallin to the following categories:

- Succeed;

- Give up;

- Heart-breakingly fail;

- Standard fail;

- Succeed, but obviously cheat (which is obvious now the devs have built ‘the giveaway’ in to the game);

- ‘Lose’ their save somehow

Any other categories?
