Challenges Tree in the box challenge

[Gazzaeverton]

Not my challenge this one....but one taken from Discord.....

In the Germany vs. Netherlands game on Nov. 19, 2018, out of a desperate attempt to score, the Dutch manager Ronald Koeman moved Virgil van Dijk into striker position. Virgil didn’t let his manager down and scored a last-minute equalizer. In the world of FMM, many people have used aerially dominant strikers to succeed, but can you transform a “tree,” a monster in the air that isn’t familiar with attacking positions at all, into a prolific goalscorer?

Rules:
1.    You can pick any club in the top 5 leagues and load any league you want in addition to the league your selected club is from. 
2.    You must select a 26+-year-old “tree” player with 17+ in both aerial and strength but whose shooting, movement, and pace only sum up to 25 or below. The tree cannot have competent or above familiarity in striker, winger, or attacking midfielder positions. For goalkeepers, assume their shooting and movement add up to 6. It's OK if your tree improves in those three attributes during the season. 
3.    You can play the tree in any position. However, you may not retrain the tree to gain familiarity in that position. You should also avoid training the tree in shooting, movement, and pace. You must train them in a defensive position only.
4.    You must win the league, with the tree winning the league's top goalscorer.
5.    No unlockables.
6.    No cheating.

Hard challenge this one.....chose to use a couple of different tactics....one at home and one when playing away.....was always going to be tough playing with such an unnatural finisher.....his shooting didn't go above 7 all season....so had to focus on his heading ability and getting lots of crosses into him. Not sure what a good target of goals is for this kind of challenge....but at least managed to tick all the boxes of the challenge itself....and grab a few trophies along the way...

This is something different.

It's a challenge that did reality check, for sure. Your results doesn't surprise me, even if I am sure you invested time and effort to bring Maguire to this numbers, really good work.

I'm a huge fan of FMM, but little reality wouldn't hurt Vibe community in discussions for the sake of future editions of this game.

Adding to your historical intro: Gerard Pique, Spanish CB, used to play as striker in many games under Guardiola, when Barca was chasing result.

Nice! I did this on Discord a while back and you beat me by 2 goals! Definitely a fun little challenge.
