Razer82 Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Well played Nep, amazing to see Smylie finally make it to 3,000. He's a true legend of the game. Does this mean the end of the Knockbreda save?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bermybhoy Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Great stuff You got there in the end. Still think it's fantastic you've had both Wallace and Smylie on this one save. Are you going to let him sit on the bench or keep him going? Presumably you could make the team a lot stronger by dropping him at this point...think that's why achievements like this are so hard - finding a youth player who's good enough to throw straight in, then being willing to keep him in the team even when he's on the decline. Congrats Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 I've kept him in this season, because firstly, he needed to get the 25 goals to reach 3,000. At this current point in time he has: Played : 36 Scored : 50 Assists : 18 So he's having a great season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MShing Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 ha ha that would be quality if he played til his mid 40s. If he's still banging in the goals I'm sure he'll still want to keep going. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton162 Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 When players are happy and playing well, they don't tend to retire, which is brilliant news for you Nep! It's entirely possible that Smylie could play into his 40's given that he's still happy, performing well and because the demands on a player in Northern Ireland are much less than the demands of some of the top leagues in the world!

NepentheZ Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 Haha, who would have thought. That would be amazing, if he completed like, 30-35 seasons with the club. He would probably get around 1600-1700 apps too. Thats crazy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Knockbreda Parish FC, Season 45 [2052/2053] First Team First, I would like to congratulate the team of Season 52/53, on winning the 40th Consecutive League Title for Knockbreda. I didn't really initially think much of it, but then wondered just how many generations of footballers I'd been through, from the 1st Season, to the 40th. I so, however, find it amazing that the Right hand side striker position, has only ever been occupied by 2 people over that 40 year period. If I make it to 50 Consecutive league titles, I think I'll do a special post on the history of the players involved Team Sheet N. Irish Premier Division - Winners N. Irish League Cup - Runner Up (v Linfield) N. Irish Antrim Cup - Winners Champions League - First Knock-Out Round All Ireland Cup - Semi-Final[/url] N. Irish Cup - Winners The Manager Manager Info Manager Profile Manager Personal Manager Overview The Club Affiliates Club Info Best Eleven Season Best Eleven Overall Coefficients Finances Player Records Team Records Richest Clubs Staff Transfers Team Sheet The Awards Fans Player of the Year - Andrew "The Legend" Smylie Manager of the Year - Craig Douglas [NepentheZ] N. Irish Player of the Year - Youth Player 1 The Player Andrew Smylie - A spectacular return of 70 goals, form the Striker this season. And he even proved on a few occasions, that he can hit the form he did, in his early years. Youth Player 1 - 31 years old now, and should be in his pomp, but his attributes actually seemed to have declined. Played an important role this season, and bagged 40 goals in the process. Summary Another tough season, but I'm enjoying it so much more now there is competition. This was the first time in 3 seasons I didn't lose a game in the League Campaign, and I even lost 2 cup competitions domestically. I've got a good team assembled now, but I'm conceding more goals than ever, unable to achieve the "Less than 10 goals a season" in the league now.

NepentheZ Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Smylie has 3,109 Goals now. He won Fans Player of the year at the end of that season, But Youth Player 1 won it for the 3 years previous, but prior to that, Smylie had won it from 2031-2032 season, all the way through to the 2048/49 season. Total ownage. The odd thing now is, I'm really finding it hard to get another striker that can even score 1,000. I have just signed a guy who is 23, and pretty awesome, but I just don't know how long he'll stay, because he is a great player. Easily one of the best the club has seen. I've had soooo many Strikers in my time, that could get 2,000+ (Castanho, Lee Jolly, Leonardo Troncoso, Alejandro Lopez) - but they were all about the club in the Smylie Golden Years. They all went on to do great things, too, with Troncoso being Argentina's all time leading scorer, and Jolly eventually went on to win 2 Champions League titles with Knockbreda. Its just that, he was an AMC/ST - So I had to play him in the MC role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just got the right attributes, in the right places, to be a goalscoring machine. He is either footed remember so that adds a good bit to his PA that isn't shown through attributes. A right footed playert with those attributes i'd put in the 140-150 PA mark so i'd say he has a very high PA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dees-Blake Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Congratulations on the achievement.. I don't know how you managed to play a team for so long, but you've done well. Also, how do you find out a player's career goals? I've looked in history, obviously, but that just counts the league goals, and the statistics on the bottom of the player's profile just show the current year statistics. Do you have to count the goals he gets each year through statistics and then just add them up? Surely there's a way to find out how many goals they've scored in all competitions somewhere.. I just can't see it. Edit: Never mind, I've found it. Best Eleven. Excuse me.. and congratulations once more on Andrew Smylie's achievements.. 3000 goals, what an effort.

NepentheZ Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 In a twisted way, Smylie is playing beyond his means this season. I've been playing him as a bit part player, coming on when I'm comfortably winning, and starting games I should really dominate teams in. And so... In 9 Starts, and 7 Sub apps, he has still managed to bag 15 goals He's really proving just how awesome he really is. 3,060 club goals now, too. Realistically, 3,100 as a final tally, would be immense. I don't know how long he will keep playing, but his attributes are still worthy of 30-40 goals a season. If his decline continues at the current rate, he can easily play another 3-4 seasons. I'd love that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
