Career KTS golden oldies challenge

Introduction

I creates this challenge a little while ago and I see it as a nice way to end my FMM16 experience. This also allows me to compete directly against @Taff

The basic premise is that you use a different 34+ year old player each season for 5 seasons and you earn points for various accomplishments with said player. 

Here is a link to the full challenge rules and score chart.

So with that said now let's get onto my attempt.

Challenge

Before i begin i chose to do the "hard mode version of the chsllenge where each season you must pick a player from a different row of tactical play. Goalie, Defender, midfielder/defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder/winger and forward.

I needed to select a team. I decided on the Bundesliga as I hadn't really had much experience there. Next up is had to select a team. I chose a club I am excited to manage on FMM17 due to their wealth of young talented players.

Next I had to pick my veteran player. After a little deliberation I went for former Inter Milan stopper.....

Julio Cesar

This gets the GK position out of the way early and let's me wait for some big name outfield players to become available.

Now first player selected let's see how the season went.

Season 1

Signings first.

Screenshot_20161030-210145.pngI brought in mostly backup players along with Mr Cesar our first challenger.

Now remember friendly games and penalty shootouts will not count towards any scores.

Firstly we won the league quite convincingly only losing a 2 games after we had already secured the title.

Next we made it to the German cup final....

Which we lost to Hoffenheim on penalties of all things.

We were also in the EURO cup where we again made it to the final to face Napoli.

Screenshot_20161030-204752.png

Who we defeated 3-2 for the title.

Scores

How many points did our veteran keeper score?

GK clean sheets (7pts) - 29 = 203 pts

MOTM (5pts) - 6 = 30 pts

Goals (5pts) - 9 = 45 pts

Final avg rating - 7.43 = 20 pts

Final score = 298 pts

So not a bad start with 289 points.

Totals

Season 1 - Gk - Cesar = 289pts

Total = 289 pts

I never thought about getting my chosen players taking penalties that's a stroke of genius 

I'm in my 4th season and I'm waiting to complete all of them before I post but your already off to a much better start than me so this is going to get tasty I think

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!

Great season mate. I love seeing your keeper take penalties. KIU

It was a calculated decision. Chances were that if he didn't score he'd sky it rather than a rebound out to a counter. Was also a bloody pain because the stats don't show when a keeper has scored a goal so I had to go back and screenshot each game he scored in, trawling through 50+ results for goals and MOTM performances was not fun haha.

Was the first thought that popped into my head as pens were valuable to my greyed out challenge. I'm on my second season now and have my last 3 players picked out too and short listed. I'm just hoping they don't retire before 34.

Season 2

My selected player this year is.......

23284-1448527099.jpgLeft back Manuel Pasqual of fiorentina.

 

 

 

I did this as a already have the last three players picked out for the future of this challenge.

Screenshot_20161031-182131.png

Now, signings again.

Screenshot_20161031-211023.png

I brought in Benassi to bolster my box to box midfield options. Butland was brought in to replace the aging Cesar and obviously I have brought in Pasqual for my challenge.

Season results

Screenshot_20161031-213554.png

Firstly we won the German super cup easily 3-0

Screenshot_20161031-210940.png

Next up is our European super cup victory over Manchester United which I was very happy with. 

We also go to the German cup final where we played Wolfsburg

Screenshot_20161031-210907.png

And lost 3-2 unfortunately.

We had qualified for the Champions league too

Screenshot_20161031-210929.png

But we were knocked out in he first round by Liverpool who we just could not score against.

Did we at least retain the league title?

Screenshot_20161031-210914.png

Yes, thank God. It was however a kettle closer than last year with Bayern creeping up behind us.

Anyhoo, how did our player do?

Scores

clean sheets (5pts) -  25 = 125pts

MOTM (5pts) -  5 = 25pts

Goals (5pts) - 12 = 60pts

Assists (3pts) - 15 = 45pts

Final avg rating - 7.57 = 30pts

Total = 285pts

Dude I might have an issue, I can't get any half decent 34+ strikers to sign and wondered if i could sign an attacking midfielder who is green up front or should it be a natural striker to complete the hard portion

(Ronaldo is the right age and everything but will not sign for me the git lol)

As long as they are already green in that area it's fine yeah. Ronaldo being a good example.  don't have to be natural

Never mind I'll have to just sign whoever as my guy (Padolski) doesn't want to swap clubs before he retires (these guys suck)

Hope you have better luck

This is where it gets fun because you can't guarantee signing the superstar you want

Season 3

So this year I decided to bring out the big guns and this guy is a cannon!

20289.pngYaya Toure

Let's see how his attributes are holding up at 34

Screenshot_20161031-220624.png

Very well as it happens

Now, signings again.

Screenshot_20161102-131238.png

Big news this year on the transfer front. Meyer just wasn't cutting it so I took £31.5m from real then brought home Julian Draxler and signed Douglas Costa for the right wing along with this year's challenger Yaya Toure for £1.8m.

Season results

First up was the German super cup.

Screenshot_20161102-125643.png

In which we got a ensure of revenge over Wolfsburg for last seasons German cup loss. Speaking of which, we made the final against Frankfurt

Screenshot_20161102-125632.png

And saw them off 3-1.

Next up is the champions league. This year end got to the final  (getting past Real Madrid in the semi's) to face Sporting Lisbon

Screenshot_20161102-125625.png

And we just squeaked it. 

Finally how did the league campaign go?

Screenshot_20161102-125615.png

I believe the word is swimmingly, as we lost not one game. in fact we were undefeated in all competitions this year.

But how did Yaya perform?

Scores

MOTM (5pts) - 6   = 30pts

Goals (5pts) - 19 = 95pts

Assists (3pts) - 28 = 124pts

Final avg rating - 7.85 = 60pts

Total = 309pts

Anyway not bad for a CM :D

That's a very nice and balanced set-up you have there, good job.

I'm amazed the AP can get so much work done tbh. I had similar results with an AP in AMC position, but nothing in MC. Attacking + direct seems to be the best way though on FMM16.

I just tinkered with things before I began the challenge to see what worked for each position. this is a balanced variation of what I used for my grey player 2k. same instructions though

Season 4

Another year another big name player for the challenge. This time we have a winger. 

tumblr_nrpvujJW131rszis0o1_1280.jpg   Arjen Robben 

 

I forgot to screenshot his attributes unfortunately

Now, signings again.

Screenshot_20161103-215645.png

I brought in Cancelo as a 1st team left back. a couple of back up players and picked up Robben on a free.

Season results

First up was the German super cup

Screenshot_20161103-214341.png

Which we luckily won on penalties.

Next was the European super cup

Screenshot_20161103-214347.png

Which we easily won 4-1.

The world club cup was up next

Screenshot_20161103-214332.png

And we took that home too

So how about the German cup?Screenshot_20161103-214319.png

We win 3-0 in the final

The champions league?

Screenshot_20161103-214314.png

Bah, fell at the final hurdle. though I've no doubt being down to 10 men didn't help.

Finally how did the league campaign go?

Screenshot_20161103-214305.png

A little tougher this year but we did it by 12 points.

So how did Robben score in our challenge?

Scores

MOTM (5pts) - 14  = 70pts

Goals (5pts) -  39 = 195pts

Assists (3pts) - 20 = 60pts

Final avg rating -  8.13 = 90pts

I'm now having this problem. I'm stuck with an ex Middlesborough man when I wanted Ronaldo.
