Challenges Ribbons of Glory 1 - Bruno's Slumber Party


 Share

Recommended Posts

Welcome to Challenge 1 in the Ribbons of Glory seriesTo get us started, we're taking Bruno for a spin at Man Utd to see how many goals and assists he can get. 

This replicates Bruno's New Year Party from the original Badges of Honour series. It was @Ian who topped the leaderboard in that challenge with 169 points - I wonder who'll top this sequel! Is it harder or easier to do this in FMM23 than it was in FMM21? Do tactics still work the same?

 

The Details

Here are the details:

  • The Player: Bruno Fernandes
  • The Club: Manchester United
  • Length: 1 season
  • The Benchmark: To qualify for the leaderboard (and a ribbon), Bruno needs to score 25 goals and 15 assists
  • Leadership Board Points1 point for a goal, 2 points for an assist, across all competitions (but not friendlies)

 

Rules

  • No Unlockables;
  • No cheating (no editing, no scouting apps, no reloading etc);
  • Own formations;
  • Any badge and reputation;
  • Any database;
  • Transfers, etc, allowed; 
  • You can attempt the challenge multiple times, but only your top score will be on the leaderboard;
  • Again, don’t be a cheat

  • Be the first!

Okay, we need to talk about the transfer rules...

I did a test run of this and took advantage of the Offer For Loan -> Transfer switch feature. This has always been there, but was nowhere near as powerful in previous versions. This year you can sell almost everyone this way and get pretty good money for it. In my test save I had Haaland, Oshimen, Lakaku, Muller, Maddison, Davies, Odegaard, Skrinaar, Dumfries, Carrasco, Kovacic and Maignan all playing for Man U thanks to the money I made selling almost everyone.

Seems like overkill, but... how do you stop people doing that when the game lets you? We could make a rule that people aren't allowed to do this, but it would be really hard to tell if people used it or not (in my case it's pretty obvious). Or we could just say it's open slather, go for it, use it as much as you want. Or we could limit it to 10 transfers out and 10 transfers in and get people to show their transfer screens to prove it? 

I'm not tied to a particular approach, happy to go either way for this - but would like to know what YOU think.

Hello, I don't know if I will have time to participate...But very nice challenge.

I suggest to design a point/coefficient reduction based on the number of that kind of transfers. 

As in a top flight team these moves can overpower the team, roughly it could be just as example:

2 transfers  - 10%; 5 transfers  - 25%

There's no way to stop the transfers. Or, tell if people have used it. I like the idea of a limit of incoming & outgoing players. I would say just use the existing Man Utd squad but I need to add a few players for my tactic to work. 😂

Thanks for the suggestion. My first thought was that it might be too complicated (I much prefer dead simple scoring), but the more I think about it the more appealing it is. I feel like we need something like this given how easy it is to shift the whole team for easy money.

I might play with it a bit - maybe up to 5 incoming transfers  is free of charge, but then after that it's a 5% reduction per incoming transfer (not counting youth promotion, just bought or loaned). We don't want to penalise people too much. That would mean that bringing in 10 players would get you 75% of the score (vs 50% in your original suggestion) and it feels like that's more reasonable (doesn't matter which 10 players you bring in you aren't going to double your score). 

If anyone else has any suggestions, please make them in the next day or so, or I will lock that in. If you're starting a save now, just be aware that you will probably have to show your transfer screen and that fewer transfers will be better for your score.

Um, sorry, no! It's a one season only save, so it has to be the 2022/23 results not the 2023/24 ones. And he didn't get enough goals in the first season to meet the benchmark. But if you could do that in the first season, then yes!

Yeah, I commented on this above - maybe 5 incoming transfers (bought or loaned) are allowed, then after that you lose 5% of your score per incoming transfer. Doesn't affect the benchmark. I'll wait a day and see if there are any other ideas, but leaning towards this at the moment.

I’d say to keep it open and allowed everything OR limit to currently squad. 

Alright, I was just about to go the other way and bring a rule/scoring in, but we'll keep it as anything goes. Although I was warming up to a rule, it complicates scoring and is very hard to police. And I'm really not a fan of having to use the existing squad. So we'll go open slather!
