Challenge 41 - A Race Against Time! - Part 1

[Topofthekop]

Fantastic season.. swept away all before on one heck of a ride. 30 games to mathematically wrap title up. Few times during the season i thought it wouldn't go my way, a few last minute winners or 1-0 wins.. But also some emphatic hidings.. City 5-0 away, Watford 7-1 Home, Man Utd 4-0 Home, Everton 6-0 away and 7-1 home, Palace 7-0

League cup winners v Man Utd
FA Cup winners v Man Utd
Champs league winners v Juventus

Well that's it, an absolutely perfect season from you TOTK. Incredible stuff, well done.

Did you rotate tactics throughout the season again?

[M.C.F.C]

SO. MUCH. LUCK. NEEDED.

[James_y]

Topofthekop - Amazing! Think this will send you top of the table!


M.C.F.C - You did it in 30 though... on for your best score now!

Nope, I was crowned champions after the 31st game and finished the season with less goals scored than my previous best.

Spoiler!

It's so frustrating. TOTK won the league with City behind him on exactly the same points. I knocked myself out of all cup competitions to see if I could do better in the league but in hindsight I think this is the wrong move as the fixture congestion can actually play in to your favour.

[James_y]

Ah right thought you’d won in 30 soz! Yea maybe getting some games postponed will mean you can win in less!

1 tactic all season

[M.C.F.C]

...and that is my final attempt at this challenge. I'd need some incredible amount of luck to be crowned champions after 29 games (28 points ahead is a huge ask). After 19 revisions of my tactic I don't think I've got a tactic at my disposal to match the firepower of Topofthekop or AJ.

I used Scemoka's 4-3-3 Heavy pressing tactic as it was the best fit for Klopp's tactics I know.

Navigated the African Nations cup losses of Salah and Mane well (both made it to the Semi's). Problem area was centre back. 5th and 6th choice centrbacks Van Den Berg and Hoever had 10 and 8 starts respectively. Injuries and Suspensions mostly, including this from big Virgil.

Spoiler!

a 180 day ban for assaulting a ref.

Hello guys, I will try with 4-1-3-2 default tactic, sure it won't be a best score...Someone played this challenge with a non wib wob tactic or not centralized tactic?
Is it possible to recall players from loan?
Can I sell any players?

I think a few have been non wib wob...

You can recall players from loan and sell if you want. Good luck mate

Hello troops! I took on this challenge, my first time playing cm0102 in a long time. I'm back with a bang...well...back.

Good challenge, nice and quick and enjoyable. Liverpool are unreal, but Allison was injured a lot for me, and we battered teams often without winning which is annoying.

However, we won it in 33 games, mainly due to the others being crap!

Spoiler!

thought I'd scored 100 to keep it a nice round number, but ended up with 101



No transfers

So I make that 600 points for league win in 33 games, and 202 points for the goals

802 in total.

Of course all this is non wib wob as usual with my gameplay.

[kikivampy]

Liverpool is a team of cracks!!! I didn't thought that... Feel like with the 2001 AS Roma Team!!!

Hi everyone! First post for me (having been on these forums on and off for a few years previously) and first time playing the March 2020 update. Such amazing work all round, keeping the game alive in such a brilliant way. Love these challenges - so impressed at all of the 38 games played 38 games won seasons!

Lots of fun to use a bit of wib/wob (only really cracked it during lockdown thanks to this forum!) so I created a new tactic for this challenge. It did ok, not as good as I'd hoped but a decent score. How did you all score so many goals btw?!

Won the PL after 32 games:



Final Table (99 goals):



Transfers in:



Loans in:



My formation:



Would have liked more goals - seemed like lots of opposition keepers got 9s and 10s (although that might just be in my head), I lost to City TWICE and struggled to get good performances out of VVD (average rating of 7.06 - yuck). Mane, Salah and Firmino were superb.

Points:

32 games: 700 points
99 goals: 198 points

Total: 898 points

Looking forward to trying more of these
