Career 2x2k - Completed, 20 long seasons

So, after a long time off I've decided to give the 2x2k challenge 1 more try.

After a discussion with the legend that is @Scratch I've decided to try the Irish League.

 

Now, knowing that this is a new on impossible challenge I will be honest and up front from the start.

I will be using every exploit I can find.

I've only loaded the Irish League knowing that some gems from the English Premiership will be available on a free.

The only unlockables I've used are the coaching badges and rep.

The rest will be unlocked as we go.

 

Meet the lads.

Obvious choices here, available on free and interested in signing, and you.

Both 16, both high potential, both signed up.

Will be using my old favourite tactic

Played 2 games so far just to get a feel for things.

Won 7-0 & 10-0 in the Leinster Senior Cup.

4 goals in 1 game for Ferguson.

4 goals in 2 games for Donley.

 

The major problem I see happening is keeping hold of these guys for 20+ seasons, 

If we can achieve this then I believe that this challenge may be complete.

 

Watch this space

 

 

EDIT

One thing I forgot to mention was I've gone back to FMM22 for this save.

Purely because I prefer it, plus there is the added bonus of corner goals.

Like I said earlier, any excuse to exploit something and I am all over it

They can both play for England,

Only problem is I am listed as a Scottish manager, zero chance of them giving me the job, should it become available before either get an International call up

Getting int. Job is difficult if u started without continental manager !!! U have to wait atleast 1.5 year for getting int. Job and till than they both might get call up for their national team .. !!or u should have try this challenge with 1st version of FMM 23 .. with Endricks and Luis ..or Angelo

Already had the Jamaica job,

Played 2 games and won them both before the Belgium job became available.

Got that now, hopefully I get England and knock them out of the World Cup early doors!!

Season 1

 

Decent 1st year but would have liked a bit more from Donley.

Although we played 66 games they were mainly all 3 days apart with the European run.

Made it to the group stages of the Europa Conference.

 

Developing nicely enough although I did mess up with the mentoring.

Didn't realise Elliot was injured for about half the season.

Hopefully doesn't cost me too much in the long run.

 

Ferguson

Season 1 - 57/2000

 

Donley

Season 1 - 23/2000

 

Total

Ferguson 57/2000 (2.85% Complete)

Donley 23/2000 (1.15% Complete)

For improving aerial u need cm or bbm in midfield... + BWM so that u can get as many crosses as u want u can use poacher + Af in strikers position for more game time for ur strikers.. no need pf T high stamina consumption role strikers will score more with more game time.. and u already messed up ... With 57 goals in a season ur striker should have reach to 20 aerial..!! If his devlopment is not plateaued!

Thanks for the encouraging words.

I am more than aware that my strikers haven't hit 20 aerial as I already mentioned.

They are only 17 though, hardly plateaued

Great start mate!

Will be very interested to see how you go - this target is bordering on impossible! But with these strikers in this league, I think you may have the best chance of anyone to actually make it. And even if the target is tough you are guaranteed to score a stupid amount of goals!

Lads both looking good. A lot of improvement to come. Gotta say I'm feeling really positive about this.

I've started a save with Shamrock Rovers myself, though thinking single striker career. So far just spent hours scouting free agents lol. But I bought the player I'm thinking of using - Iheanacho from Oxford United (a team I use a lot) who generates with PA between high 130s and low 150s from memory. Starts with CA in 40s, so should get close to 20 updates. And starts with Aerial of 12. Only downside is he's a little injury prone. Straight on to Low intensity training. But then I almost managed to get Tezgel which would make me rethink striker choice. Not quite enough money even after clearing out my squad.

Anyway, can't believe I wrote more about my career than yours! Whoops, sorry! 

With the squad you have you will see a lot more goals this year. People gonna be upgrading every time you turn around and the two lads will be on the end of a lot more chances!

Without scoring much goals my striker reach to 15 aerial and + without mentoring...!!! So I can reach 20 aerial before the end of season with mentoring!! I have 6 mentoring updates left!!!

Ok brilliant, what is your point?

I've already said that I messed up the mentoring.

They both decided they didn't need any further mentoring once I cancelled their first ones.

Not much else that can be done am afraid

Nope, very unusual,

If I remember right you use to be able to do it numerous times.

There is a bar with how the mentoring is going, before it fills up you could cancel it and start again however this time when I tried, both the players felt they wouldn't benefit from further mentoring.  Twats!!

If you read my original post you'd know they are available on frees

148 goals only in 2nd season !!! 😇... I think I should try this version 😁😁

Give it a go. You'd probably do great things. I enjoy it more. But mainly cause I like to fly through games. No need for team talks or any of that nonsense

I am on FMM22 at the moment but I am pretty sure the same goes for the most recent release.

 

Load up a 1 domestic league, but not the English ones.


Thats it, when you start there should be a heap of young players from the Premiership on free transfers.

Here's a question that I've wondered about for ages now.

I've never personally seen it on my own games but why is there an asterix beside Target Man?

Noticed it a good few times now on other peoples post

Great work there. You can definitely complete the challenge. Also, the tactic has been nicely done. 

Random question though:

20 seasons is a long time. And seeing that you update season wise, do you go on month long holidays after the transfer window and react to changes monthly, or do you follow each match?

I am leaning towards the former, because doing the latter would be very time consuming.

I personally lose the motivation after 5-6 seasons, 'cause I follow every match, and skipping a month everytime and leaving everything to the assistant manager, causes a loss in immersion.
