Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) The Sir Alex Ferguson challenge has been around the forums for years, and because I’m an avid watcher of The Reckonists streams on twitch, no plug I wanted to try this for myself, so i holidayed to November 6th and I got Norwich City! The challenge stipulations You MUST LOAD ONLY England to the Sky Bet Championship, with a small database. No additions! ** You must always have a player produced by your club's academy in every match squad. You MAY sign permanently NO MORE THAN 11 players in a season, and ONLY 8 PERMANENT signings may feature in the first-team that season! Sir Alex never signed more than this ever in a season. ALL Options should be unchecked except for "Do Not Add Key Staff" -- you may do cosmetic edits, so your use of the editor IS ON YOUR HONOR. You MAY sign any player that you can scout. You do not have to scout them, but you MUST be able to do so. You MAY NOT ever do transfer business of any kind with your main rival. (Liverpool/United have not exchanged a player since 1964.) [Phil Chisnall to Liverpool] Trophies Win the FA Cup within 4 seasons - Ferguson won his first cup, the FA Cup vs Crystal Palace in 89/90 Win the Premier League within 7 seasons - Ferguson won his first Premier League in 92/93 Win a Premier League/FA Cup double within 8 seasons - Ferguson won his first Double with United in 93-94 Win Three Premier League/FA Cup Doubles within 13 seasons - Ferguson's Treble Included His Third League/FA Cup Double Win the Premier League/FA Cup/Champions League Treble within 13 seasons - Ferguson Won the Infamous Treble in 98/99 Total Trophies Premier League (13) FA Cup (5) League Cup (4) Community Shield (10) UEFA Champions League (2) UEFA Europa League (1) (Replaces the Cup Winners Cup) ** UEFA Super Cup (1) FIFA Club World Cup (2) (One Replaces Intercontinental Cup) ——————————————————————-——————————————————————-———————————————————— All of the challenge stuff is from @jaysdailydose’s thread Edited July 23, 2020 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Tottenham 0-1 Norwich A great strike from Buendia won the game. I saw that they were playing a 4231 wide so I played the anti inside forward tactic, and it worked wonders for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Norwich 0-2 Liverpool We looked good until the set piece goal by Mané late in the first half. Then Firmino got the cherry on top late in the second half. Same tactic as they were playing the 4231, unfortunately the set pieces were unrelenting and that is something I will have to look at.

Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Newcastle 0-1 Norwich A great ranged stroke from defensive midfielder Vrancic was the difference maker I moved the CM to the AM strata, and he had a great game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Burnley 0-2 Norwich Finally Pukki shows his worth by scoring 2 off of GK mistakes. Again the same tactic, Cantwell has not played well so I am thinking of changing his roles or PI’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Norwich 2-1 Chelsea another giant killing! Attacking set pieces were the way to victory for us, with a corner and a direct free kick from Buendia. As they were playing a 4231 we played this formation.

Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Norwich 0-0 Wolves A draw is what I was playing for so this was perfect for me. Dallas comes in for defensive cover for Lewis just in case Adama had any ideas Krul sold Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Southampton 1-2 Norwich A great team performance This is the lineup we walked out with, and Idah, the 5th academy graduate in our XI scored a brace! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
