Gandy Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Was just having a look at Derby (as I saw they've signed a 34 year old Tevez) and noticed Oscar Cardozo won the European Golden Boot Award last season. I knew he won it for the Premier League, but I would have thought someone else would beat him to the European award. Jordan Rhodes came in second with Danny Welbeck coming in third. I am managing none of these sides. http://gyazo.com/29f7b6c97001fd6581f341bb4a32f933 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneronaldo Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Cardozo (before his attributes falls off a cliff) is so often challenging for European Golden Boot I don't see him as a surprise anymore. Rhodes (in my saves at least) is an impressive goal machine whether or not you manage him. Though Danny Welbeck is a surprise The most unexpected Golden Boot winner I have seen was on FM12 when Kevin Gameiro outscored just about every human being in Europe by at least 10 goals on his way to the award with 40 league goals. And I wasn't managing PSG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samdiatmh Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I would've posted Giroud (won it 2nd season in my save), but he won it the year before Cardozo did in your save, which kind of cheapens it edit: I'm curious to see who wins it in season 3 in my save, the top EPL scorer only got 18 of them European Golden Shoe winner was Belfodil (Inter) with 44 points, beating out Hamed-Allah (Club Brugge) with 42 points and Jackson Martinez (Porto) with 40 points Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Giroud is a class striker though, but it is surprising, definitely not a 29 goals in a season kind of striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freakiie Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 While he didn't win, in the second season on my current save Billy McKay (playing for Bolton, who almost got relegated) got 46 points and only lost to Llorente/C. Ronaldo due to matches played. That's a pretty unlikely one I'd say! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I remember in FM13 derby buying Cardozo after getting promoted, and finished 9th lol Cornelius on one of my United saves Either won the Premier league one or came second. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneronaldo Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Trawling through my old FM12 saves, saw Emmanuel Adebayor crowned European Golden Boot 2 seasons in a row. Close the game, have nightmares. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandy Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 I've never had a player from my side win the European Golden Boot before, only the Premier League version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
