Jonathan Low, my latest 5* potential youth graduate, scored TWO MINUTES into his debut, and will be a brilliant replacement for the outgoing Franny Burden.

No new retirements, so only need to post:

Ok, I've added a Hall of Fame to the 2nd post in this thread.

To qualify:

Must have made over 1,000 appearances for you

Must have retired, left your team or you have retired your save

Give me a screenshot of the player (at any age), tell me the position(s) he mainly played in and tell me what version of the game you did it with.

Well, Clayton's off to a blinder as he scores with a thumping header in only his second start for the club, breaking Newcastle's Youngest Scorer record in the process at the age of 15 years and 236 days.

With my first season complete it's time to put some figures up.

Youth Player Updates

Jamie Robinson YP0c (MC) - Jamie managed to play in 26 games in all competitions this season with 24 of those coming in the league. He actually started 20 league games and scored the first goal by a youth player. He's signed his first full contract for two seasons.

Brendan Evans YP0a (GK) - When first choice Jay Lynch was injured for a short while Brendan stepped in and did well. He only played the four games but managed to keep one clean sheet and only conceding three goals. Never going to be anything more than back up to the back up. I'm confident he'll take that for the time being.

Jon Buchanan YP0b (DL) - Jon is yet to play a first team game due to Robbie Threlfall's good form. However, he's coming on nicely so hopefully in the near future he'll be given a chance to impress.

Gary Smith YP1c (GK) - Gary has taken over the number 1 jersey for the end of the season and has made 8 appearances, conceding 5 with 4 clean sheets.

Graeme Adams YP1b (DR/DC) - Graeme has slotted in a right back where he also played the final 8 games of the season and with each game he's looking more confident.

Thomas Kenny YP1d (MC/ML) - Thomas has looked the best so far as he's made 8 appearances. In those 8 games he's scored 1 and assisted 2.

Aaron Bodie YP1e (AMLR) - Aaron has played 6 games with 1 goal and 1 assist.

Glensworth Jervier(ST) and Paul Cole(MC) have both been given tags. Jervier has made is debut, Cole hasn't. Both are being tutored and their determination has improved drastically over the past couple of months. Nicholas Walsh YP1a(DC/DR) hasn't yet made is first team debut.

The ones who aren't yet first teamers (0 year) probably already can't do it. I'd advise culling some of these and only picking the absolute gems to try this with. Unless you want to just throw them all in and see results suffer in the short term...

Hi Ackter, seeing as its relevant to your challenge, do you know where to find the part of the club history where you can see who has made the cumulative most apps and goals for the club?

Used to be in history records players but I can't find it in FM16 - cheers

Haven't a clue, but I'll have a look.

So, guess who accidentally deleted his save while trying to fix a launch error?

RIP Matthew Clayton :(

Gonna start a non-Newcastle save for a change. Will random select until it gives me a Prem team.

I tried to coax him out of retirement... but failed...

Morra has played in his last season, but why would you not want to go out in a Quadruple Trophy Season - where you set up the winning goal in the Champions League final for a 4-2 win?

Or hitting a double to go over 200 League goals? On the way to pipping Inter Milan to the title on the final match day?

Winning the Italian Cup, also over Inter Milan, on Penalties - Being the first one to step up and lead the team to victory?

It was not the best season by far, but at the age of 39, Morra has managed to play in 30 league games and 40 in total at a very competitive level.

His career was illustrious, racking up a total of 1066 appearances, 820 coming in the league, over a span of 24 seasons. He scored 261 times, with 201 coming in league football, as well as a huge 402 career assists with 292 in Serie A football.

He will hang around until 20 days after his 40th birthday, at which point I will try to sign him as a backroom staff member.

Update

Re signed him as an under 19's coach until another position opens up for him in the senior sides.

Have started my new game as Newcastle, like I always do.

First season I get this guy through the youth:

12227841_10156276658445268_6183934035251033949_n.jpg?oh=5d9675ab455052dc55768d8a4784129e&oe=56DD433B

Assistant reckons he could be as good as Sissoko, so he's going straight into the first team.

And he becomes the Premier League's youngest ever player and scorer in his second match for the club - a 6-1 thrashing of Leicester.

I read through this post a while ago and after getting the furthest I've ever got in a game (17 yrs) I realised just how much of a feat it is to get a player to get 1000 apps!

From 2012 to 2029 (in FM13) I had two players who stuck with me the whole way and were pretty much first team regulars all that time but when I checked their no. of appearances the highest was just over 500! So massive congrats to everyone who completes this challenge. It's ridiculous.

At the end of his first full season, Lawrence Lawson has 55 appearances. His potential keeps changing between 3 star and 4 star so hopefully he'll start developing soon so that I can judge if he's worth keeping.

Nothing but a load of rubbish in the youth intake this season so no new people ready for the attempt.

Did I miss the post?

Link me a pic of him and give this info:

David Pickwell (DC) - 1063 apps, age 35 (Ackter, FM15)

and I'll add your guy to the HoF. The other guy hasn't retired/left his club yet so won't be ready for the list until he has.

Thanks, Here is an image and a link to his career overview.

Niccolo Morra (AMC) - 1066 apps, Age 39 (Leonavich, FM14)

At age 20, Hassell has developed nicely but he'll never really be good enough to be a legend. He's pretty much topped out now I reckon.

12316533_10156318492955268_6823020969774945326_n.jpg?oh=c99614352f903724ef77e878472f2bac&oe=56D60B08

I don't think I'm going to keep pushing him for the 1,000, I don't see him making it. His poor natural fitness is making him miss a lot of cup matches. At the end of the 2022 season (his 5th) he only has 166 appearances - that's a good 50+ short already. He's also never going to hit age 40 like Todd did to make up for his current lack of appearances.

As of yet, I've had no other players come through that are worth bothering with. All others I've mentioned in this thread so far have already dried up and been shipped out :(

I find it pretty hard to get someone worth attempting this with due to the difficulty of having someone good enough so early in their career, able to play so many matches and have a relatively healthy career.

My current best has 301 matches for us and is currently 27 years of age. There is no chance that he will get to 1,000 but no one else is even close.

I had Morra who was fantastic but I got him during the Serie B stages of my save, so it was possible to slot him straight in, for him to be successful and I was lucky that he grew with the team and was able to stay on.

I might attempt this with my next decent youth / signing, but likely with my next save which I'm hoping to start on FM16 when I get it.

For now I am just going to follow Canini. and get him as close as I can.

This game loves giving me wingers:

Has the potential to be "better than Thauvin", is consistent and professional. He also doesn't have sucky Natural Fitness, which is a nice change. Doesn't look all that, though. Either way, he's going in.

This thread has been quite this year, and I will admit that I haven't had anyone considerable who would be anywhere near getting this, however, I have just had a son in my current game and I am pretty determined to see how good I can get him, so he may be suitable for this challenge!

so here he is thus far

And here is at the age of 17

Currently on 50 domestic games and 20 international games. Not bad for a 17 year old. It is hard getting him to start often though as I have a good side, but off the bench should suffice for now.
