Career Dear Evan Ferguson - The Big Six 1KC

 Share

Recommended Posts

I’ve been away from the game for a while so thought I’d come back with a good challenge. Whether or not it’s even possible I don’t know, but let’s give it a go…


I figured I’d kick things off with Spurs to start our painful rebuild.

First things first, some housekeeping…

IMG_3109.thumb.png.6d3d22c2599518ee3cd025b0097181c0.png

See ya. 
 

For the player, I figure this challenge needs a different take than the usual 1K challenge. I need a young player who is ready for the Premiership as he needs to hit the ground running. Decent aerial, stamina and finishing is key from the off. 

We want to get to 167 goals asap to be able to move on to the next club. When a vacancy comes up. There are so many uncontrollables in this challenge it’s going to be a tough one. 

Anyway, Evan Ferguson:

£15m plus Alfie Devine going the other way secured my guy. Another difference from other 1K challenges is I’ll have less of a focus on developing wonderkids as we’ll be moving clubs so often so I need people who will make an impact right away. 
 

Let’s see how it goes…

Season 1 

A decent start. Mostly spent sorting the team out but our boy developed well and got decent numbers to kick things off.

His stats are looking good for year one and 32 goals is a good start. 
 

A good league performance saw us coming second on goal difference in a tight three horse race.

IMG_3159.thumb.png.b13605e77950b01b6ca8254820217207.png

Not much luck in other competitions though.

IMG_3163.thumb.png.1c2c255cd0c36d1482ef0b8dbf135646.png
 

Transfers:

My main job was to sort out the mess that Spurs are in and get a new GK, CB, and CM. So in came Livakovic, Gvardiol, Taylor, and Ugarte. 

In January, Barella and Chiesa came in as they’re both perfect for my system and ready to go.

Livakovic picked up an eight month injury so my back up GK had to step up but I’ll be in the marketing for another this preseason.

IMG_3162.thumb.png.5267fe09f17787967c952af6be4eb5f6.png

Also shifted a lot of the dead wood through sales or part exchange. Poor Son had to go in a straight swap for Chiesa as he was scoring too many.

Good to see you back @MikeF and to take on this challenge, he is a very good player and turns into a world beater, this version of FMM 23 seems to waste so many shots, I hope you make the numbers required and very soon. good luck

Season 2

 

Bit of a delay getting this done as was away last week. 

Big season for the lad. Started reasonably well and then I changed my system a bit half way through the season and the goals came fast. 

He’s looking pretty damn good now. I’d like a bit more aerial.

IMG_3370.thumb.png.51f6337782d9ffe979b85ba7ea2cd024.png

IMG_3371.thumb.png.8ba938f309554d6f7f5d185acea85640.png

72 goals is good and that means I should be able to wrap up the Spurs chapter of this challenge this coming season with a repeat performance. 

 

We took the league easily and bagged the FA cup too but Real were too much for us in the CL knock out stage.

IMG_3373.thumb.png.d60772890d190f89c44227deb736af38.png
 

Transfers:

IMG_3375.thumb.png.7ca1b5cfbbcf474f4584fbf6990260fa.png

Sold a few players who weren’t clicking with the system and strengthened some key areas. 
IMG_3374.thumb.png.89de16e3031c4b54cd809e68c2892b23.png

Kane plus 80m for Kimmich was a lot but he’s amazing so was a needed deal for me. Although before the last game of this season he just picked up an 8 month injury…

A couple of defenders to tighten that area and a new keeper after Livakovic was out for almost a year the previous season.

Yeah one more. I’ll need to be knocking these out in two seasons at each club to have any chance of getting close to completing it. It’ll get harder and harder too waiting for jobs.

Nothing that hasn’t been discussed in depth on this forum. It’s about winning the ball and getting it to my wide players. My two wingers and creative midfielder (who takes corners) each got about 25 assists each with a few more coming from other parts. They supply virtually all of his goals. 
Now the corner exploit has been patched he only scored 20 or so corners with my routine but that still helps.

Season 3

He's become a beast with pretty much perfect stats for a challenge like this. Or for any save tbh.

IMG-3401.thumb.PNG.d00b05558e47a3c9f1ab200a97f992f8.PNG

Very similar season to last year in terms of goals with Ferguson passing the required amount to close off the Tottenham chapter of this challenge.

IMG-3402.thumb.PNG.98d0b2ec22243afc7fabd231d68056ac.PNG

One he passed167 I stopped playing him hoping his value would drop (it didn't) but then brought him back in for the cup final.

The season was alright, I didn't sign anyone as just needed to get through it and I'm not thinking long term. I also got my 3rd 8 month injury in 3 seasons which is some achievement I guess.

IMG-3381.thumb.PNG.65b69dc5dad31e8c7d730b8f14e5c852.PNG

 

We wont the league again, losing only the final game (great). Also annoying in that the 'top 6' clubs in this challenge all came top 6 so no one's job is at risk. I'll have to keep playing and hope someone gets fired/retires soon.

IMG-3405.thumb.PNG.2080f20ea64090bddfd8ab681be3b36e.PNG

Didn't do particularly well in other comps as was just rushing to get through the season. FA cup was against Arsenal though so we took it seriously.

How did you get your striker to 20 in aerial?

Use wing play tactics plain simple and mentor with a Striker who has 16+ Aerial..+ U NEED 2 fitness coaches or 2 fitnes + youth coaches for improving physical stats of ur team ..

Season 4

We seem to have hit a problem in that none of the other 5 clubs have sacked a manager (apart from Man U in the first season) so I’m just kind of playing on and waiting for someone to go. Guardiola was insecure at the end of last season so I said I was interested and then when the season ticked over to the next one, everyone was secure again. 

Some highlights of the past season:

Our best season yet and it counts for nothing 😂 

As a side project I took the England job for the upcoming World Cup to see if Ferguson would play for England as it’s his second nationality. He wouldn’t.

Another option might be to resign and hope that one of the other clubs manager’s takes the Spurs job. When I was zipping around the nations with Roy I found I had more options at other clubs when I was unemployed. Otherwise the top clubs tended to just chug along.

Most young players don’t have a fixed PA for each save so chances are you got a worse version of him than I did in which case there’s nothing you can do. 
I also have him on low training as he’ll learn more playing every match than he will in training and getting tired and injured. The Ledley King school of training.

Season 5

We finally got some movement in the job market. I waited until the window closed (so Evan couldn’t be sold) and left Spurs. Real Madrid manager took my place so no job I needed opened up but once we got to January the Chelsea were in 12th position and the job was insecure. I managed to get them to sack Potter and give me the job. 

IMG_3506.thumb.png.b76f1b3e9b145ea5b111b76f85df6f8f.png

Ferguson was in the last year of his contract so with a 50% sell on and a player in exchange I managed to grab him for £20m cash. His contract took some work and he finally signed on £500k/week which could cause issues for the next move but let’s deal with that later on…

IMG_3591.thumb.png.77cb81aee271aa08e857c179448483c1.png

 We only had a half a season but managed to get 32 goals into Chapter 2. 
IMG_3592.thumb.png.f4c10f673ddf3ee71b137c9a61313644.png

 

The team needs a rebuild to play MikeBall and most of that will have to wait until summer but we did manage to creep up the league table and secure CL football which will help with recruitment.

Nice and a pretty cheap transfer- now worth 107m! 😬

(poor Potter doesn’t even get a break in the virtual world 🤪)

I got lucky. I purposely didn’t renew his contract at spurs so he didn’t have long left and would be cheaper to buy. Threw in ignacio and 50% sell on and got him on the cheap.

Building a team 6 times is much more difficult... I think u should focus on singing 1 of the wingers u played at starting back to current club and which ever club u play ... With 2 players its much easier for u to complete this challange otherwise its going to difficult..

I like having some new players but there are a couple who will follow me while they deliver. I didn’t share transfers as most were done by potter. I signed the young lwb from spurs and Taylor. 
What I might do is start to develop a couple of key youngsters for the next club to then sign when I’m there but that could be expensive. Ferguson will not be so cheap again.

Why not give him a new contract and add minimum fee release when the notification for new job pops up. That's what I did when moving from Arsenal to Man Utd

Season 6

The first full season with Chelsea and our boy did not disappoint. 113 goals from the lad means we’re almost done with part 2. 
 

No stats change as he’s maxed

A cracking return. 

Comps:

IMG_3710.thumb.png.61a8993513847376c56fb6ef55fb715b.png

Took the league, community shield and the champs league. Crashed out of both domestic cups. 
 

Transfers:

The rebuild happened to get the team playing my way.

Wide players mostly. 

IMG_3713.thumb.jpeg.75dcda094871e51507ee5c8d67f6aa3f.jpeg
I made a couple of tweaks to my formation from an old version of a 1k tactic I used to run and it got the ball to my wingbacks more.  I also pushed up the middle guy in my 3 man midfield to AM and that’s helped a bit but he doesn’t get many assists, just helps with the press and taking focus off the lone striker.

We’ll be able to complete the Chelsea chapter of this pretty soon and then I need to hope a job comes up by Jan. Then it’s just the small matter of signing him and beating his £500k/week wages!
