Career Danovic Wings it! A Converted Winger Challenge..


 Share

Recommended Posts

So after my recent effort with the UEFA Euro 2016 Squad Challenge I was looking for some inspiration from past year's to start new and interesting career.

After a while I settled up on a challege that really hadnt seen any love over the few years since it was posted, so I have re-posted it and now I am starting a new challenge.

The Converted Winger Challenge

Basically taking wide/attacking midfieder and turning them into 30 goal a season strikers! Lets see how we get on.

For this challenge I decided to head to Germany as I have not based a career there yet this year. So we take over at FC Bayern München.

For the first chosen player I needed to pick a player already at the club, Ribéry would have been a good starter but at 32 I felt he was just too old and his stats and fitness was fading. So I decided to go Brazilian!

Douglas Costa is good at long shots, but that may prove to be a liability at times. It all depends though on the tactic. Best of luck to you Danovic

I was really excited when I got this idea so it's brilliant to finally see it get some love. 

Good luck mate, I can't wait to follow this :D.

You are right, typical greedy winger. Just have to set up so he gets as many chances as possible and not from 30 yards!

Thanks @Ashez 
I was looking for something new to get me excited about a career and this I thought would be good. I never play with wingers in my games as all my successful tactics are narrow ones so it will be fun to try out different players.

Good luck mate. I believe Douglas will succeed easily.

Is there a final total you need to reach?

Well, the final aim would be 30 different players in 30 seasons, a big ask!

Indeed, getting the right stats for the player is gonna be crucial! Plus the right formation.

I actually used a sweeper system for most of the first season!

Great season mate. For an unnatural striker those are fantastic results

Thanks, although he isn't a natural striker he has all the attributes of a great Poacher.

Yeah, its an interesting challenge especially if you are like me and never play with wingers!

This seems like a great challenge. I may have to try it myself. I already have some unusual candidates in mind.

There are lots of random players that you can use, I have tried to stay with top quality so far but will look at some outsiders soon.

Great job mate which tactic you using for this thanks

For most of the first season I employed a Sweeper system. This is for the OME.

Play Costa as a FC or IF on wing?

He played on his own as a Poacher (FC)

Very nice start mate, Ivan looks an ideal pick for season two! 

Thanks, am trying to go for the experienced players first before the turning to the wonderkids in later seasons.

Should make for an interesting second season but some good stats there for a striker

Yeah, he has a good base and should improve with IT. Hope he has that eye for goal!

Dude your making this look way too easy KIU

Thanks, I was lucky that Perisic was decent from free kicks, I reckon he had 5-10 free kicks alone.
