dafuge Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Does anyone know anything about this year's corner exploit? Is it going to make this challenge a bit easier? So far, I've avoided reading the exact setup, so please don't mention it. As far as I'm concerned, as long as myself or the AI isn't using it, I don't care about it.

I knew the one on 10.2, after I thought I'd found it so I checked what it was - not exactly the same as what I did but close. Apparently there is one on 10.3, but I haven't checked what it is as my previous routine seems to still do fairly well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked at the thread for the cheat and tried it in one game, purely for observation and i think that yes, absolutly it will make this challange easier if people use it, In the test i did, Huddlestone scored 6 in a 7-0 win against Liverpool at Anfield, I quit the game and replayed it, just didnt seem right to use a exploit, Maybe it should be a stipulation for this challange that known exploits are not to be used Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kroblues Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 It's a sad moment, as Josef Svec announced his retirement, and ended up as a player/coach, but strangely he doesn't appear as a player for me anymore. Therefore this season was his last for East Belfast. At the age of 39 a legend ends, after 19 years of service to the club, and playing a part in 20 of the club's record 24 titles in a row including his half season after joining. The adage of "if he's fit he plays" stayed for his final season, as he made 25 league appearances, along with 18 in various cup competitions and 8 more Champions League games under his belt. His 14 goals meant that he signed off with a double figure season, a feat he managed for every one of his full seasons with the club. Svec as he was on retirement Svec Profile Svec Season 1: 8 goals Svec Season 2:78 goals Svec Season 3: 158 goals Svec Season 4: 248 goals Svec Season 5: 313 goals Svec Season 6: 346 goals Svec Season 7: 443 goals Svec Season 8 : 551 goals Svec Season 9 : 675 goals Svec Season 10 : 770 goals Svec Season 11 : 857 goals Svec Season 12 : 964 goals Svec Season 13 : 1031 goals Svec Season 14 : 1073 goals Svec Season 15 : 1104 goals Svec Season 16 : 1135 goals Svec Season 17 : 1167 goals Svec Season 18 : 1198 goals Svec Season 19: 1219 goals Svec Season 20: 1233 goals Svec Summary: Appearances: 1113 Goals: 1233 Int'l Caps: 3 Int'l Goals: 0 RETIRED Svec as he was when he reached 1000 goals: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/kroblues/Svec1000.jpg Paul Spence, on the other hand, is flying through the goals, and he reached the target I gave him recently of 100 league goals with flying colours, as he smashed 115 in the league this season, more than any CLUB in the league managed. With 185 goals in his 61 appearances this season, he was over 3-per-game, so it was disappointing to not play a few more cup games. He also had a fantastic year for Northern Ireland, profiting under my management meaning that he started every game, unlike the previous manager where he was often a substitute. 9 more caps and 12 more goals pushed him ever closer to the record goalscorer title. He is certainly becoming a candidate for 2500 goals, as at the age of 28 he has maybe 4 more years of top class goalscoring followed by possibly 5 of still fantastic but not quite so brilliant levels. He also passed 1500 goals for East Belfast this season. Spence Season 1: 7 goals Spence Season 2:18 goals Spence Season 3: 94 goals Spence Season 4: 177 goals Spence Season 5: 285 goals Spence Season 6: 428 goals Spence Season 7: 604 goals Spence Season 8 : 774 goals Spence Season 9 : 955 goals Spence Season 10 : 1163 goals Spence Season 11 : 1361 goals Spence Season 12 : 1546 goals Paul Spence summary so far (Age 28) Appearances: 783 Goals: 1546 Int'l Caps: 71 Int'l Goals: 47 Total Goals: 1593 After 1000 goals Robbie O'Reilly, who had 361 assists in his career before last season, is also progressing well, as another 81 assists (a new record) pushed him onto 442 career assists at the age of 26. Possibly a candidate for 1000 assists if he stays for his entire career? I hope the coding works, if not let me know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 A fantastic career for Svec there kroblues Spence is going on a phenominal rate, 2000 should be a breeze. 2500 is a realistic target i think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVentress Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Chris Higgins Well Season 2 done and dusted and the plan was to integrate Higgins into the team and get maybe 30 games from him, Unfortunately he had other ideas, Everytime i played him he sparkled and at times he played like Torres on Steroids He is progressing well and frankly i am scared as to how good he could get, He won the European Striker of the year for 2011 after one and a half seasons of professional football and also won the 2011/12 English Footballer of the Year and was also the 2011/12 Premier Leagues Top Scorer, and all this at just 17, He also won goal of the season with this little effort against Chelsea [url="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6576/chrishiggins.png"][color=#0066cc]2010[/color][/url] - Higgins @ 16yrs old, Games Goals Assists MOM GPG Av.

hamilton162 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That's a mental strike rate for a striker at such a tender age! If he's that good when he's 18, what's he going to be like when he's 29 and at his peak? Scary thought, well for opposition defences at least!

kroblues Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 To put it into perspective, Paul Spence, who currently has 1593 goals at age 28, had only 18 career goals at age 17. So he's going pretty well indeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVentress Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 Sounds promising then, Although i am not sure i will ever get a player to score into the hundreds in a single season as others have done, especially in the Premier League. I think 60ish maybe the highest, but we shall see, maybe in his later years as the standard dropsand he reaches his peak he may be able to reach those dizzy heights Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 It's certainly possible that he'll get near 100 a season in the Premier League. Brennan's performances just rocketed once he got near his peak, i would never have believed you if you'd have told me just after our 1st season in the Premier League that he'd go on to score 100+ goals in a season. Oh, and i've just realised that i really need to post up Marc(Beckford, my son)'s goalscoring record. Currently around the 250-300 mark, but will shoot up after this season. Already bettered his tally for goals in a season this year with 37, and we're only at the start of February! He's going to get more than Brennan if i carry on with the save, no question. He's a better player than Brennan and his international record is simply ballistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PVentress Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 You may well be right, Higgins has just kicked of the new season with 3 hat tricks in the first 5 games And talk about just like buses, Just got a youth product through who has been labelled the next Gary Lineker!!!!!!!!

hamilton162 Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 Marc Beckford, the story so far: 2016/17 | Games, 30 | Goals, 08 | Assists, 04 | MoM, 00 | GPG 0.27 2017/18 | Games, 49 | Goals, 29 | Assists, 08 | MoM, 05 | GPG 0.59 2018/19 | Games, 46 | Goals, 29 | Assists, 14 | MoM, 05 | GPG 0.63 2019/20 | Games, 52 | Goals, 30 | Assists, 18 | MoM, 06 | GPG 0.58 2020/21 | Games, 58 | Goals, 31 | Assists, 17 | MoM, 05 | GPG 0.53 2021/22 | Games, 55 | Goals, 36 | Assists, 12 | MoM, 06 | GPG 0.65 2022/23 | Games, 49 | Goals, 29 | Assists, 08 | MoM, 05 | GPG 0.59 2023/24 | Games, 54 | Goals, 24 | Assists, 13 | MoM, 03 | GPG 0.44 Club Totals: Games, 393 | Goals, 216 | Assists, 94 |MoM, 35 | GPG 0.55 [beckford is now 24 years old] England Games, 61 | Goals, 89 | Assists, 37 | MoM, 21 | GPG 1.46 Career Totals: Games: 454 Goals: 305 Assists: 131 MoM: 56 GPG: 0.67 So there's my son's stats. So it might not look massively impressive, but the key thing is that he's been playing in the AMC position every season, with his main job being to feed Brennan. Once Brennan gets to 1000 goals, the two will swap positions, enabling Marc to be the one that scores bucketloads of goals. He's a better player than Brennan, no question (I'd imagine Brennan's PA/CA is around 170 ish, Marc's is probably 185+) so he should get to the magical mark fairly quickly. At this rate, he'll get 804 goals if he has a 20 year career in the AMC position, so i'm expecting huge things from him once he moves into the ST position!

kroblues Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 Josef Svec Svec as he was on retirement Svec Season 20: 1233 goals Svec Summary: Appearances: 1113 Goals: 1233 Int'l Caps: 3 Int'l Goals: 0 Svec as he was when he reached 1000 goals: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/kroblues/Svec1000.jpg RETIRED Now Svec is gone, it's left to Spence to continue the formidable goalscoring, although there is another candidate possibly coming through (more on him once I see if he's likely to stay his entire career). Spence's goals-per-game ratio declined this season, as despite playing 2 games more he scored 7 goals less than last season. Still a fantastic return of 178 goals from 63 appearances, but I know he can do better and if he wants to reach 3000 it will need to be better. Not that 3000 is too likely anyway, but I can dream He is now officially Northern Ireland's top goalscorer, beating the previous record of 50 this year. He now has 56 goals from 77 caps.

Just 81 goals left overall now, challenge completion is virtually a given. The 140 club goals should come in the next 2 seasons, but it could be 3. He was really inconsistant this season, and i really thought that he wouldn't get the 100 goals for the final time. But mid-season, he went on a superb run of 7 hat-tricks or better in 7 games, starting with my 1000th game in charge of FCUM, which kickstarted his season. This was almost certainly his last 100 goal season, as his age is starting to show. He'll be 32 in December, and he's relying on perfect chances to score more than ever.

He seems to be constantly improving and all the attributes you would want to improve are improving, He has just turned 20 and already has nearly 250 career goals. And bearing in mind he has played his entire career in the Premiership that is pretty phenomenal, it is actually very scary to think how good he will become as he is still so far of his peak years, His first 100 goal season will not be far away and i think with a bit of luck may come in the next one [url="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6576/chrishiggins.png"][color=#0066cc]2010[/color][/url] - Higgins @ 16yrs old, [b][u]Tottenham[/u][/b] Games Goals Assists MOM GPG Av.

PVentress Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 He is pretty immense That is the most i have ever had a forward score in a season, i think before that the most was about 62. But he just finds it so easy and often walks past 2 or 3 of the opposition before finishing, and looks good for a 100 goal season soon. and although he is doing very well, i am not sure 2000 is possible But we could certainly give it a go Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 2000 is certainly attainable, if his goalscoring rate goes up, which it should do as he matures. He's on target for around 1,200 appearances if he's lucky, so it only needs less than 2 per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Josef Svec Svec as he was on retirement Svec Season 20: 1233 goals Svec Summary: Appearances: 1113 Goals: 1233 Int'l Caps: 3 Int'l Goals: 0 Svec as he was when he reached 1000 goals: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/kroblues/Svec1000.jpg RETIRED Not as fantastic a season for Spence, although that certainly wasn't helped by playing 5 games in 7 days in the middle of April. He also missed a month through injury, which again didn't help his goal total. As it was, he scored 179 goals in his 63 appearances this season, which, if I'm not mistaken, pushes him up to 2nd in the all-time goalscorers list, for now at least. At the age of 30, he certainly has a good chance at moving up to 2,500 goals, although 3,000 is almost certainly out of the question. He very nearly managed to get us into the Champions League final, almost singlehandedly. He scored a hat-trick and then 2 goals in our 4-3 away loss and then 2-1 home win over Valencia, and then got goals in the 88th and 89th minute in the Semi Final first leg to pull it back to 3-2 on the night against PSV, although we could only draw 1-1 at home. So close With another fantastic year at International level, where he scored 19 goals in his 12 appearances, he is also closing in on 100 goals for Northern Ireland.

hamilton162 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 The 2000 for Spence is a virtual given now. I reckon 2500 could be made at a push, but brilliant work kroblues Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Thanks, I'd be annoyed if he didn't get 2,000 at this point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 As I did with Svec when he was near 1000, here is a quick rundown of Spence's goals as he closed in on the magical 2000 goals for East Belfast. Goal #1991: From a corner, Spence powers into the net for his hat-trick. East Belfast 3-0 Glenavon Goal #1992: After a long range free kick wasn't held by the goalkeeper, Spence tapped in his first of the game. East Belfast 2-0 Drogheda Goal #1993: A shot from Stewart leads to a goalmouth scramble where Spence pokes in his 90th of what has been a slow season by his standards. Liverpool 1-1 East Belfast Goal #1994: From just outside the box, Spence shows he's still got it by curling one in past the Rovers keeper Shamrock Rovers 0-2 East Belfast Goal #1995: Spence is fouled inside the box, and calmly puts the spot kick away Shamrock Rovers 0-5 East Belfast Goal #1996: A hopeful punt forwards by the left back leaves Spence all alone, and he scores easily. East Belfast 1-0 Linfield Goal #1997: The ball bouncing around the box after a shot from the centre midfielder, and Stewart puts it on a plate for Spence barely a yard out East Belfast 3-1 Linfield Goal #1998: Barely 5 minutes later, he completes his hat-trick by going round the centre back and powering home East Belfast 4-1 Linfield Goal #1999: With the aid of a deflection, Spence moves himself within one goal of a record only achieved by one other... East Belfast 2-0 Distillery And strangely, there wasn't a "That's his 2000th goal for East Belfast" message when he scored his next goal, yet I've just checked the maths and his 97th this season would have been his 2000th, and he got that with a penalty before the end of the Distillery match. If someone wants to check then they can, all the screenshots up to last season are there.

PVentress Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Well Chris Higgins has just appeared in the Spurs Club Legends list!!!!!!!!!! He isn't even 21 yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hamilton162 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Brilliant achievement kroblues Only the 2nd ever player to achieve that phenominal milestone, he really should be looking at 2500+ imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I'm gonna change my tactics to basically make sure only strikers get most of the chances. He'll put them away most of the time, but the main reason he hasn't been scoring as much this year, imo, is that the goals have been spread around. Thanks PVentress and hamilton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 Good effort, kro. I'm getting worried that you're going to over take Smylie Please, don't Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 He's not gonna overtake Smylie. Relax, Nep He's "only" on about 2050 near the end of this season and he maybe has 7 or 8 more years in him at most. 2,500 is realistic though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 At the moment, it seems as if Brennan isn't going to get the 81 goals this season. 'Only' 13 goals in 12 games so far, needs to up this rate considerably to stand any chance of making the 1000 FCUM goals within the next 2 seasons as well Having said that, he'll probably go on the rampage and smash in 7 hat-tricks in 7 games like he did last season now!

PVentress Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Chris Higgins Well Higgins is still progressing well and his attributes are rising steadily, His Mental Attributes have started to kick in and this can only help him to improve. As for how the season went, well, Disappointing is the only word i can use, he still scored a high number of goals but dropped compared to last season when i was expecting him to continue to increase his goal output. The reason for this drop i fear lies largely with his inept manager !!!!!! Knowing that he will need a strong team around him to challenge for 1000+ goals in the premiership i set about buying and blooding some promising youngsters and they lacked the experience or quality (yet) to support Higgins enough, Needless to say reverting back to trusted experience saw his output rapidly rise again, Not a mistake i will be making again, Still he reached the 300 goal mark at 20 so we are still on course [url="http://img34.imageshack.us/img34/6576/chrishiggins.png"][color=#0066cc]2010[/color][/url] - Higgins @ 16yrs old, [b][u]Tottenham[/u][/b] Games Goals Assists MOM GPG Av.

kroblues Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Anything above 1 goal per game should get him there really, and to have so many before he has hit his peak has given him a real shot at 1000, maybe 1500. KUTGW Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Well on the way to 1000 is Higgins, you really should be aiming for 1500-2000 imo, he looks devestating at such a young age! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kroblues Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Josef Svec Svec as he was on retirement Svec Season 20: 1233 goals Svec Summary: Appearances: 1113 Goals: 1233 Int'l Caps: 3 Int'l Goals: 0 Svec as he was when he reached 1000 goals: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w180/kroblues/Svec1000.jpg RETIRED It seemed to be a slower season for Spence, but he certainly picked up towards the end of it. He flew past 2000 goals for East Belfast and was well on his way towards 2100 in total before the end of the season. 162 goals in 64 appearances isn't anything like I know he should be capable of, but he is into his 30s now, so a drop was to be expected. Maybe 2500 is all he can hope for. 3000 is almost certainly out of the question. A small issue is that he is unwilling to sign a contract, which runs out in 3 years, so that's something I'd like to sort out ASAP. A side note, contracts have caused me to lose roughly 2 first teamers per season as they refused to sign new ones. Ah well, just means the youth get more chance I suppose. He is also closing in on his 100th cap for Northern Ireland, finishing the season on 99, and with a European Championship game against Serbia to come in the near future, he should hit the milestone quickly. At 87 goals, 100 international goals in total has to be a possibility.

Mark Stewart: Age: 20 East Belfast Appearances: 206 East Belfast Goals: 241 Northern Ireland Caps: 15 Northern Ireland Goals: 11 Total Appearances: 221 Total Goals: 252 A quarter of the way there and only just turned 20, I'd like to think he can get near 1,500 too.

hamilton162 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 3000 is definately out of the question IMO, but he should get at least 2500 The success that's been had in Northern Ireland is just crazy really, even though it's like having leading Premier League players against BSP/L2 defenders each game.

kroblues Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I think, even with Spence's talents, I couldn't have expected this: Somewhat of a renaissance for him this season, with around 150 goals and we're only into mid-February. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
canvey!! Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I counted all of those before realised it would have been much quicker to count the goals he didn't score . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
