Always up for a scoring challenge. The next I am attempting is scoring 200 goals in one season with a player. This is excluding international goals. I took inspiration from @deepheat83 who did the challenge successfully so hopefully I can try and get to his absurd numbers! I have already selected a player, a team(almost obvious to guess) and did complete the first season. Let’s go on a journey

On Sunday 8 December 2024, the three Esposito brothers scored 5 goals between them: Sebastiano scored 2 for Empoli (vs Verona), while 250km away Salvatore scored 2 and Francesco Pio scored 1 for La Spezia (vs Cittadella). What better way to celebrate their goal scoring feat than to create a challenge around them! We'll keep it simple, making it total goals scored by the three players (all competitions) and we'll keep it short, making it one season. Unlike real life, we'll get them all together at once club. The only way to do this is to play as Inter - Sebastiano and Francesco Pio are both on loan and can't be bought by other clubs - but they can be recalled. And of course Inter can easily buy Salvatore. None of them are quite as good (in FMM) as they used to be, but they are all still decent players. They are still all relatively young and will have some development coming, which adds to the intrigue of the challenge. So, break out your attacking formations and work out how to play them together for the maximum goal return. The Details The Players: Salvatore Esposito (the Italian one, not the American one), Sebastiano Esposito and Francesco Pio Esposito The Club: Inter Milan (called Blu-neri Milano in latest version) Length: 1 season (must be the first season of the save) Leadership Board Points: 1 point for each goal from the 3 players, across all competitions (but not friendlies) Rules No Unlockables; No cheating (no editing, no scouting apps, no reloading etc); Own formations (can be similar to others, but don't straight up copy with no changes); Any badge, reputation or manager titles; Any database (original or final winter version); Transfers allowed; Retraining positions allowed (would make sense to retrain Salvatore in the AMC position); You can attempt the challenge multiple times, but only your top score will be on the leaderboard; Again, don’t cheat Leaderboard 101 goals - @Dai_ (link) 97 goals - @Gazzaeverton (link) 90 goals - @Gazzaeverton (link) 80 goals - @Miki33 (link) 79 goals - @Scratch (link) 43 goals - @StuartM (link) Good luck!

@deepheat83 completed this challenge with FMM24 and amassed a mighty total of 16 different winning teams. (Basically I’ve cut and pasted this challenge to give it a go in FMM23 (for those without Netflix)) I’d also add to deepheat’s criteria below that you must keep to the spirit of being a manager. Don’t add release clauses to players you buy so that you can rebuy them later or sabotage a squad once you’ve won the league with them..etc So far in its existence only 7 different teams have won the English Premiership: Arsenal Man City Man Utd Chelsea Blackburn Leicester Liverpool The challenge here is to win the Premiership with as many teams as possible over the span of your career. Can you beat 7 over 30 seasons? I'd say 10 is probably the max you could hope to achieve.
-
Bit of a different one......pick one name and build your team......there's a few to choose from.....think this might be the potentially strongest one out there......win any league with them
-
Back, potentially, after an extended break. What better way to get back into things than going for a ridiculous challenge. But.......... before we start, has anyone actually achieved this. My thoughts are, 1 player, 200 goals, 1 season. Can it be done? Has it been done?? Open to suggestions of player and league, but lets face it, like always it will probably be Celtic. Let me hear your thoughts on this before I start

The Double Trouble Challenge Introduction Shearer-Sutton, Collymore-Fowler, Owen-Heskey, Yorke-Cole, Henry-Berkamp, Raul-Morientes, Del Piero-Trezuguet or going back even further, the likes of Rush-Dalglish or even further back Puskas-Di Stefano. And of course, more recently, Rooney-Van Persie. These are some of the great strike partnerships in the history of football. These Players feed off each other and strike terror in the hearts of opposition defenders. These Players who more than anything else, put the ball in the net again and again, time after time. The challenge is simple enough, but can you beat it? Objective The objective of this challenge is to have two strikers score a combined total of 1200 goals. As an additional challenge one may attempt to also rack up a combined 600 assists between the pair. Rules The two strikers must both be playing as strikers at all times (Both strikers A and B must be playing in a forward role ~ no advanced playmakers! ~ Trequartistas are fine) You must use a tactic with two strikers at all times. That means no formations with one up top! Both Real Players and Regens are allowed No Unlockables/Cheats can be used No use of the in game editor No reloading to avoid injuries International Goals count, but only those a player scores in game. Also both strikers must be of the same nationality for it to count. Screenshots are required as evidence Leaderboard @Gazzaeverton - Celtic - Tom Cannon & Evan Ferguson - 1246gls

Been attempting this for quite a while, with various players, various clubs and various tactics and tweaks.....and finally accomplished it.....the mythical Club 150.....one player, 150 goals in a single season. Some lessons learned along the way.... Train & mentor your player to the max The rest of your team need high teamwork stats, so that they are as unselfish as possible, this is probably the most crucial point of all Let your player take penalties, central free kicks & be the focal target of all free kicks & corners Don't expect your team as a whole to hit high scoring stats, you will average about 3 goals a game, and almost all of those will come from your player Focus on training your players on crossing and passing, early crosses and through balls As the seasons pass by don't chop and change your team too much, as new players take time to settle in and you can't afford to have low relationships in the team, as they will lead to mixed results Your midfielders don't want to have high shooting stats or play in roles that will take them into the final third too much, or they will take goals away from your main player Patience

Hello and welcome to the 11th instalment of the Badges Of Honour challenges. The concept came from @Rob and the links to the badges can be found here: This challenge only really came to me in the last day or so but I was eager to get a fun challenge out. I thought who better to dedicate a challenge too than Christian Eriksen, who unfortunately collapsed on the pitch at the Euros this past summer. It’s unknown at the moment if he will be able to carry on his career. But the main thing is he survived it. So why not make a challenge all about him? The Challenge So the challenge in this is easy, I love fun and simple challenges for the badges, something people can just crack on with and have fun. It’s all about his all round contribution. You will be scored on goals, assists and his average rating over two seasons. Now you’re probably thinking how I’ll be judging his average rating, well it’s quite simple, if he has an average of 7.01 for the season thats an extra 1 point, if he gets a rating of 8.34 over the season it’s an extra 134 points for that season. Anything under 7, there is no bonus points. Thought that would spice it up a bit. Club Choice I will allow any clubs to be used, so we can have a bit of a variation in attempts. Score You will be scored on goals, assists and average rating for each of the two seasons in all competitions. For the average rating, for every 0.01 above 7.00, you will get 1 point, so an average rating of 7.34 is 34 points extra for that season. If you get 8.34, that’s an extra 134 points. Any questions just ask. REMEMBER ITS TWO SEASONS SO YOU HAVE A CHANCE AT EXTRA BONUS POINTS EACH SEASON. How To Gain The Badge To gain the badge you to hit the benchmark which is 30 contributions each season, the 30 can consist of either goals or assists. You also need Christian to have an average rating above 6.99 for each season. Rules No unlockables; No cheating; Own formations; And that means don’t steal the BP and change one instruction - you know who you are! That is cheating; 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 Enjoy and if you think I’ve left something out, which would not surprise me, just let me know 😁 Leaderboard 1. @Dai_ - 405 points Link Here 2. 3.

Badge 11 - Big Man, Little Man This challenge was originally created for the Vibe World Cup 2021 but it proved so popular a couple of people had multiple goes at it so with permission from @Rob I have made it into part of the Badge series of challenges. You can find more information on the Badges of Honour series of challenges here. This challenge is all about teamwork namely the team work between a front two and specifically the classic big man, little man pairing. The front two of a big target man who can hold the ball up and win flick on’s and get on the end of crosses paired with a small quick poacher was a staple of British football for years. It is now rarely seen even in the lower leagues but it can still be an effective tactic if used correctly. In this challenge you are going to make your own big man, little man pairing with the big man charged with getting assists and the little man the goals. Both these players must be natural strikers and they both must play together up front in any of the 4 striker positions. Points will be awarded for big man assists and little man goals but points will also be taken away for every goal you big man gets and every assist your little man makes. Here is the full low down on the rules to explain it all better. Club Choice: You can manage any club in any league that is in the vanilla DB. That includes lower leagues as well. Challenge Duration: This a full season challenge and goals and assists in all competitions count. Transfers: You can only make 1 transfer into the club in this challenge and that is either your Big Man or your Little Man. One of these two must start at the club already with the other one being bought. No other transfers in are allowed but you can sell players. Big Man Rules: This player must be a natural striker (light green in striker position) when you either buy him or you join the club and he must have a minimum of 14 aerial and 14 strength. Little Man Rules: This player must be a natural striker (light green in striker position) when you either buy him or you join the club and he must have no more than 9 aerial. Tactic Rules: You must play your Big Man and Little Man up front at all times but they can play as wide forwards if you want. Database: You must use the official FMM database but you can choose if it’s the November or March versions. No unlockables are allowed but you can have whatever coaching badge and reputation you wish. No editing, reloading, holidaying or cheating in anyway. Proof via screenshots are required and the best way to do this is with a career thread. Points You will get 2 points for every assist your Big Man gets. You will get 2 points for every goal your Little Man get. You will get -1 point for every goal your Big Man gets. You will get -1 point for every assist your Little Man gets. As with all the Badge challenges there is a benchmark score to beat in order to earn this fine badge. I have based the benchmark on the average score across the 14 attempts in the VWC21 which came out at 121pts so that is what you just beat although attempts from the VWC don’t count so you will need to give it another go. Benchmark: 122pts or more earns you the Badge. Leaderboard @Dai_ - PSG - Mbappe and Rafael Leão - 194pts @FuddledFox - Liverpool - Salah and Diego Costa - 173pts - link

Challenges Badges Of Honour 10 - The Future Is Now
Rich posted a topic in Football Manager 2021 Mobile
Badges Of Honour 10 - The Future Is Now Hello and welcome to the 10th instalment of the Badges Of Honour challenges. The concept came from @Rob and the links to the badges can be found here: This is based on the dominance that Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have had on the world of football over the past 15 or so years. And it made me think will we ever see anything like this again? Highly unlikely. But there are two players who are really standing out at the moment and at such a young age they are arguably scoring more than Messi and Ronaldo. And them two players are Eirling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe who have already scored 122 and 158 respectively in there young careers. I really wanted to create a fun challenge for only one season, so that anyone can have a go and enjoy a fun season. The Challenge So the challenge is simple. You take charge of Haaland and Mbappe for a season and see how much you can get out of both players. Your final score will consist of how many goals and assists both get in all competitions. The benchmark will be 30 goals each for them in all completions. I want to keep this as simple as possible as I think it will be really fun challenge and I’m hoping plenty will have a go. Club Choice I went back and forth thinking should I just use PSG for this. But then I thought no, let’s make it more interesting and let you pick whatever team tickles your fantasy. So you are allowed to go any club as long as you can sign both players. How To Gain Your Badge This is very simple. Just make sure that each player has scored 30 or more goals in all competitions. I didn’t want to make this a tough benchmark. I want this to be as competitive as possible and I’m sure we’ll get a lot of great scores on this one. Score The goals and assists from both players in all competitions will be added together and will give your final score. Rules: No unlockables; No cheating; Own formations; And that means don’t steal the BP and change one instruction - you know who you are! That is cheating; 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 Credit to @Robfor the badges of honour concept and credit to @FuddledFox for the beautiful design at the start of the post.

Last edition, we saw the inclusion of derbies in the game and it was a nice addition. @George Traistă posted a great career highlighting the different derbies in the footballing world today. That can be found here. So, why not have a challenge surrounding them? The Challenge Club Choice: You may manage any team in any league/division that you want but they should be involved in at least one derby in the season. Rules: The usual rules apply of no editing, standard DB , no unlockables and no reloading. Score: Your score will be the highest derby win streak that you can put on. The minimum benchmark to qualify for the leaderboard is 4. Evidence: You will need to provide screenshots of your derby wins. Enjoy Leaderboard

(Credit, and thanks, to @FuddledFox for the badge design) Wayne Rooney: England and Manchester United’s top ever scorer, one of only two English players to win the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Champions League, League Cup, UEFA Europa League, and FIFA Club World Cup, and now the proud manager of Derby. It is the banks of the River Derwent where the seventh Badge of Honour docks. The challenge is to manage Derby for one season and guide them to success. You must also one of the most gifted players of his generation the swansong he deserves. Your score will be league points, Rooney goals, and Rooney assists. After a tough benchmark on challenge six, this challenge has an easier one: win promotion. There is no benchmark for assists and goals. The generic rules are here: No unlockables; No cheating; Own formations; And that means don’t steal the BP and change one instruction - you know who you are! That is cheating; 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 Get scoring, assisting, and lead the Rams to glory!

Hi folks, not sure how this works being a bit new... but I had an idea for a challenge that I'll take on myself eventually, quite slowly and probably badly too. I thought I'd share in case anyone else thought it was worth a go. So, the task is to emulate the feats of Herbert Chapman and the three times in a row league winners of Huddersfield Town and Arsenal in the 1920s and 1930s (a bit of trivia for you, I think Chapman only won 2 in a row with both clubs due to leaving Town and then his untimely passing but we'll ignore that for now). My take is this, take charge of Huddersfield Town (but maybe another Championship club if you have an aversion!), take them to the Premier, win the league 3 times in a row, then take charge of Arsenal (or perhaps another Premier League club if you have another aversion!!) and win the league three times in a row again. To add the challenge element, the goal is to do this in the shortest time and then as a tie breaker by spending the least money. Any thoughts? P.S. I might have used my first save as a trial for this but I got sacked by Huddersfield for losing in the playoff final in the first two seasons... not that I'm bitter!

This is similar to the Copa America Challenge but we shift our focus to AFCON. These are the list of winners who have won the AFCON multiple times: DR Congo also won it twice but since there is a scarcity of players available in the database, i have omitted them. Although if you get a player, you can replace either Algeria or Ivory Coast with them. Now, how does this relate to your challenge?? Well you need to select a player from each of the nation above and his goals and assists will count towards your points. So, here are the rules: 1. This will be a 6 season long challenge 2. Any club and any league is allowed but no created clubs. 3. Real players are allowed. 4. Club games count only. No intl. games 5. No reloading/hex-editing/IGE etc. 6. All badges and reputations allowed. 7. You can go in any sequence. Just follow the scoring system for your points. 8. Have fun. 2021 LEADERBOARD 2020 LEADERBOARD @Kanegan- 327 points Career

The Impossible Challenge This classic was revived last year mainly down to @Cockers2505 outstanding career where he tamed this beast of a challenge. All credit goes to Patrick for originally creating this back in 2011. The Aim To complete the challenge you need to begin your career with a club in the Conference North or South and by the end of the 30 seasons have won every trophy available to you. This means you must win the following trophies at some point during your career. Harder Version Obviously since this was first posted you can now load lower leagues in all 4 nations, if you want to make it a hardcore version for yourself which might very well actually be impossible then feel free to add in every lower league trophy from all the leagues as well Rules You must start with a club in either the National League North or South. No unlockables that haven’t been earned in the save. No cheating or reloading. Own tactics only. Photo evidence will be required, a career thread is recommended.

All credit goes to @BatiGoal for creating this challenge. You are right, the boys up there are in fact playmakers of the highest order and not your typical striker, but don't they look an awesome bunch? But more importantly, just like the misleading title, I am always thrilled to make people believe -Vibers in particular- that they are going to have an opportunity to manage FMM's finest stars when they are totally not. Quite the contrary actually -evil laughter- anyways... I present you my first of hopefully many FMM18 challenges to come. It is not a complicated challenge per se but it *will* test your tactical, strategical and man-management skills over a duration of at least 5 seasons. What formation are you going to play to get the most out of your not-so-greatly talented stars? How will you tweak the training to accommodate these non-stars? Have you given your worthless player enough rest inbetween games to excel when it matters? How does your squad react when you favor a godawful striker over a seasoned one, and how do you? What minimal qualities does your hopeles hero need to possess to be able to complete the upcoming insanity anyway? Questions and more questions you as the manager will need to find answers to. If you fail to complete any of the stages you may re-play them as often as you need before progressing onto the next one. Play the full 30 seasons to get a bigger total score if you like, or just the 5 to quickly note your name on the leaderboard for everyone to see. There are a couple of rules though but we get to those once I present The Strikers' Striker Challenge first. The Challenge Objectives: Load any nations in any order you like, one of which must however be the English one, and select your preferred EPL club. You're going to embark on a journey taking 1 (forward) player with you from each of the lower English divisions per season, each increasing in difficulty as you go. For this challenge I have chosen to focus on goals scored in the Premier League only. This in order to have a gradual increase in difficulty and at the same time measuring your "weakening / less talented" striker Vs striker per stage against (near) identical opponents in the English top division. Stage 1 will see you score a minimum of 50 league goals with a striker bought from a Championship club. Stage 2 the exact same but this time with a striker bought from a League One side. Stage 3 with a player from League Two, and Stages 4 and 5 with one from Vanarama National and Vanarama North/South respectively. See below: Stage One - score 50+ EPL goals with a Championship player Stage Two - score 50+ EPL goals with a League One player Stage Three - score 50+ EPL goals with a League Two player Stage Four - score 50+ EPL goals with a Vanarama National player Stage Five - score 50+ EPL goals with a Vanarama North/South player Players You May Use Real Players Fake/Grey Players Regens or Evogens Players You May Not Use Loanees at the club Previously used players Ex-players (to combat the obvious) Challenge Rules No unlockables incl. SD, no IGE or reloading etc. Coaching Badges ARE allowed. The 5 stages must be completed in order of difficulty (1 to 5) and may last no more than 1 season each. Take as many attempts per stage as you need but a new player must be used for every new attempt and/or stage. Your chosen player must score 50+ league goals in 1 season before you may move on to the next stage. When buying a player, all teams in that specific league count, also newly promoted/relegated ones. Post a career for us to follow in order to be eligible for the leaderboard. Have fun Leaderboard

Averaging Out The following challenge was used for the Challenge Cup 2015 final. The Challenge Take control of any team in any league, it works just as well. Saint-Étienne in France were used for the challenge cup final. You must start the season with a squad of 30 players. No constraints on transfers, or whether the players are on loan or not, you must start the season with 30 players. Once you have played the first league match of the season, no more transfers are allowed. Keep an eye on the average rating of your players. On the 31st of each month, you must demote your two highest rated players, never to be used again (unless they apply to the next rule). When January comes around, you may promote two players of your choice that you have demoted in the first part of the season. By my calculations, you will be demoting two players every month for 9 months (August-April) and with the two you are allowed to re-promote, you will finish the season with 14 players. The same old rules such as no unlockables and own tactics only, although I can't really stop anyone. It's just for fun. Points System League points Goal difference Points from EL group stage 2 points for each round passed in domestic cups 2 points for each knockout EL round passed 20 points for 1st in league, 19 for 2nd, etcetera...

Bad Boys From Brazil Credit goes to @danovic78 for creating this challenge. Monumental clash of egos when Romario and Edmundo joined forces at Vasco Da Gama. Fans called it ‘the attack of dreams’, for defenders it was the partnership of nightmares. Eighteen years ago, Romario and Edmundo, the self-proclaimed ‘Bad Boys of Brazilian Football’ both rejoined their boyhood club, Rio de Janeiro side Vasco da Gama. Following a third place finish the season previous, president Antonio Soares Calcada and manager Antonio Lopes were convinced the pair could settle their differences and lead the club to the title; they were half right. The combination of extremely talented, egotistical men with explosive tempers battling for supremacy could be compared to a Shakespearean plot – but this was real life – and whilst on-field the pair’s lethal goal scoring made them near-undroppable, awayfrom match days, the men were unprofessional, unbalanced and often inebriated. Romario and Edmundo were not always enemies; in fact, the two Brazilian strikers shared many similar comforts. Neither were interested in training and both favoured boozing, womanizing and playing foot-volleyball together on the luscious Rio beaches. Romario was especially keen on sex. He once told a journalist: “Good strikers can only score goals when they have had good sex the night before a match”. These comments forced a Brazilian priest to question Romario’s place in the national team, so concerned that ‘Baixinho’ could pass ‘bad spirits’ onto star-man Ronaldo. However, their friendship ended back in 1998 when World Cup-winner Romario opened up Café do Gol, a beach side bar in Rio. A cartoon of Edmundo sitting on a deflated football was placed on one toilet door, with another cartoon of his former lover on the adjacent cubicle. Furious, ‘O Animal’ Edmundo demanded the drawings were removed but Romario refused, insisting it was meant as a joke. Following this incident, the pair were involved in a highly-publicised falling out, largely aided by the local media’s constant coverage. On the turn of the Millennium, Edmundo had returned from a short, ill-fated stay at Fiorentina in Serie A, where he had failed to recapture the form of 38 goals in 44 games which had earned him a move from Vasco just two years earlier. During his spell in Florence, the front-man would regularly return home to Rio for the carnival, despite first choice striker Gabriel Batistuta being badly injured. Back at his favoured club, Edmundo was once again the main man at Estadio Sao Januario, scoring goals and helping boss Lopes’ charge up the table. However, with the 2000 Club World Championship just months away, it was decided the club needed extra fire-power if they were to challenge for major honours in all competitions and Romario was brought in on a free transfer. At 34, the squat striker had found the back of the net on a regular basis for Flamengo, with 26 goals in 39 appearances for Rubro-Negro. Their first match playing alongside each other following their fallout would long be remembered. Manchester United had controversially taken exodus from the 2000 FA Cup, supposedly forced by the Football Association to enter the tournament in order to gain political points in an attempt to sway votes for their (ultimately unsuccessful) 2006 World Cup bid. In match two in the group stage, the attacking duo of Romario and Edmundo combined to lethal effect as Vasco famously beat Sir Alex Ferguson’s Champions League winning side 3-1. Romario bagged two and Edmundo the third. The first, after 24 minutes, saw Edmundo react to a weak back-pass from Gary Neville, before waiting for his new strike-partner to arrive and assist for a simple tap in from close range. Two minutes later and another mistake from Neville at right back saw Romario steal-in to double his tally on his debut. Nicky Butt pulled a goal back for the visitors but the match would be remembered for Edmundo’s wonderful touch and finish around Mikael Silvestre as Vasco sealed a 3-1 win and a place in the next round. Vasco eventually lost in the final to rivals Corinthians, with Edmundo missing the crucial penalty in the shootout. Years later, he described the penalty miss as the ‘worst moment’ of his career. Can you create a Brazilian double act to rival these two? Rules Load up any countries and take over any club (Enabling the most South American players would be an advantage) You must then either sign two Brazilian strikers or use two already at the club. One of your strikers must be 30 or over. Other transfers are allowed. The challenge will last for two seasons, Romario and Edmundo never stay anywhere very long! The points total will be your combined goals from the two strikers in all comps (not friendlies), league points and goal difference from each season. Usual rules apply.

The Goaltopia Challenge The Double Trouble (2 strikers scoring 1200 goals combined) and the Triple Threat (3 strikers scoring 1500 goals combined) have been the staple goal scoring challenges on Vibe for a few years now and for very good reason as they are excellent challenges. They along with the 1000 goal challenge make up the prestigious Triple Crown of challenges and hopefully that will remain the case for years to come. That said the DT and TT are some what restrictive as they state that you must play your goal scorers in the striker strata of the pitch and you can only have the two or three depending on which challenge it is in that strata. This does lead to a lack of creativity as does the target of goals you have to reach which can lead to a whole host of attempts played with the same few wonderkids. This is why I have created this challenge to hopefully lead to some other creative ways of smashing in loads of goals with a group of players. The Challenge There isn’t a lot of rules to this challenge as I don’t want it to be too restrictive but obviously there has to be some to keep it fair and stop any piss take attempts. The aim is simple, you must score as many goals as possible with your chosen number of players. There is three leaderboards for this challenge based on the number of goal scorers you use. You can only be eligible for one of these leaderboards in a single attempt of the challenge so you can’t use three players and then submit two for the 2 player leaderboard and then all three for the 3 player leaderboard. You can attempt other Vibe challenges at the same time though so any 1kc completed would count. Your goal scorers may play in any position on the pitch you wish so if you think you can get goals with a GK then you can use him as part of the attempt. Although there is no goal targets for this challenge all your chosen players must score 100 or more goals as part of the attempt for it to be valid. Your goal scorers can be bought or already at the club but they must all join at the same time. Only goals scored when they are all at the club together and under your own management count towards the challenge. When the first of your group of players retires that is challenge over you cannot add more goals to the total with those left playing. ITN goals do not count. Own tactics. No edited DB’s, no IGE, no unlockables unless earn’t in the save (coaching badge and rep is ok), no reloading or cheating in any way. The Spirit of the Challenge The idea of this challenge is to keep it as open as possible so that you can all be creative with your club and player choices. That is why there is no target number of goals because it can lead to safe choices of players and clubs. It is just as much of an achievement to score 800 goals between some terrible players that we have never seen used on Vibe before than it is to score 2000 goals using the best wonderkids in this years game. The addition of saying all players must score at least 100 goals is to simply make sure that people don’t play a couple of players who score loads and loads of goals and then just add in some other player who only scored a few just to boost the score. In the spirit of the challenge as well I would suggest that if you are planning on using two or three strikers that you don’t use this challenge as just another leaderboard to go onto and submit a score from a DT or TT attempt onto the two or three player leaderboards. Of course you could submit the DT score to that leaderboard for example and then a three or four player score for this challenge from the same career as well but I won’t accept a DT score onto the two player leaderboard. The idea of this challenge is to be as creative as possible and to find other positions on the pitch to get goals from hopefully leading to some fun tactics. You could use two young strikers for example but perhaps it is more rewarding to use two older strikers and see what they can do even if it’s less goals than would complete a DT or even use no strikers at all.

Let’s face it, Neymar and Mbappe are two of the best players in the world. Both are the centre-pieces of their nations, Brazil and France, with the latter leading his team to World Cup glory. Any club would love to have either, but PSG are lucky, and rich enough, to have both. Prior to the 2019/2020 season Mbappe had 44 goals in 56 games for PSG, with Neymar having 34 in 37. That is a brilliant goal return. Both players also happen to have Inside Forward (IF) as their natural position on FMM. Neymar’s is left IF; Mbappe’s is right IF. This challenge is quite a simple one. You play one season as PSG, with the main condition that Neymar plays in his natural position of left IF and Mbappe plays right IF. They can play in the top line or second line, but only as long as their role is Inside Forward and they are on the correct sides. Any other players, roles, and tactics are allowed. You can play a centre forward to support them, you can play an APM behind them, and so on. Your final score will be the sum of: • Each player’s goals; • Each player’s assists; • League goal difference; • League points (the goals and assists are from all competitive competitions) Also, this could be used as a useful first season of @Foxy‘s Peak Year Challenge, so do be creative. General rules: • No unlockables; • No cheating; • Own formations; • And that means don’t steal the BP and change one instruction - you know who you are! That is cheating; • Any badge and reputation; • Any database; • Transfers, etc, allowed; • Again, don’t be a cheat Thanks, and good luck!
