NepentheZ Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 FM09's Version of The Danny Roberts Challenge. FM08's "The Danny Roberts Challenge : Difficulty GODLIKE (Part 2)" The main idea behind the Wallace and Roberts challenge, is to have 1 player score 1000 goals for club and country under your management. There are no rules as to how you attain the player, although the editor MUST NOT be used. Season reports of potential challengers are encouraged. During the past 3 incarnations of the game, a fair few players (Around 10 I think) have gone on to achieve the feat of scoring 1,000 + goals. It is widely known that Roberts is regarded as the most amazing player of all to achieve the landmark, due to the fact he scored all 1,000+ club goals in the Premiership under the management of dafuge. Feel free to enter in as many as possible, and we'll keep more of a track of the entries and goals in this thread, and compile some top 10's as the thread progresses. Challenge Rules : This challenge can be attempted while playing any other challenges. So those of you having a crack at Gundo's, Rancers, canvey!!'s or dafuge's Challenge that come across a fantastic prospect for this challenge, feel free to come in and post your updates. Any player involved in this challenge MUST score the goals under human management. Therefore, if you have Player A and Club X and he scores 500 goals, then you move clubs, the player only has 500 goals towards the tally. If you buy the player and take him with you, and he scores 500 more, this will make his 1,000. If you do not buy him and he scores 500 more, this DOES NOT count towards the Challenge Tally and must not be added into final totals. International Goals count either under Human, OR AI management. Friendly International Goals DO Count. Friendly Club Goals DO NOT Count. Screenshots are encourage where possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 The 1,000 Goal Club : Intro : The 1,000 goal club is for those exclusive players that manage to reach the 1,000 goal mark in any FM game. These players will be carried forward through each rendition, and will be updated as new players, from new versions get inducted into this. There are 2 players for sure that are missing from this list. First, the amazing Danny Roberts. Hopefully daf can dig up every picture he has left, and gives me some exact figures so I can add him in here. Also from FM06, is Gareth Black (also managed by me). I have all of his screenies on Photobucket. I'll update him later. Paul Wallace [Retired] (FM08) Manager : NepentheZ Club : Knockbreda F.C League : N. Ireland Nation : N. Irish (42 Caps, 4 Goals) Total Goals : 1,073 Andrew Smylie [Age 34] (FM08) Manager : NepentheZ Club : Knockbreda F.C League : N. Ireland Nation : N. Irish (117 Caps, 64 Goals) Total Goals : 2,860 Josef Svec [Age 32] (FM08) Manager : kroblues Club : East Belfast League : N. Ireland Nation : Czech (3 Caps, 0 Goals) Total Goals : 1,001 Dean Evans [Age 30] (FM08) Manager : Ridleys Club : Rasharkin League : N.

MachinegunHead Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 You may want to point out, NepentheZ, that this challenge can be completed whilst playing any other other challenge. I know some people playing dafuge's challenge (and the like) get attached to players, but may not realise that those players may be eligible for this particular challenge.

Jonfun1980 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 If you move clubs and buy the player, does that still count or do you have to play with one club only? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopper99 Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Good to see this very difficult challenge back for another year. Hopefully this time round I'll get someone good enough and young enough to get close!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 I really hope I get the chance to have a go at this, I've got a lot of work to do with FC United first though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI33 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 gonna try and do this with leeds when i get a good young striker! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartans5 Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well, lets see if he can do this over his career as I attempt Dafuge's challenge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 He's got good potential spartan. Very pacey, which will be key in the lower leagues. You may have trouble hanging on to him if he gets better than the team at a young age, but with him in your team, he can only help progress with the club. Good luck, I look forward to seeing some end of season stats and records Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonfun1980 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I think I might have a guy to give it a go. I will give him one more season first though. I am glad that if I move clubs I can take him with me, cheers for that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 If I get a good player on my Shakhtar file, then I will attempt this but it will be very hard as there is a very short season in Ukraine(30 games). But, as Shakhtar I am guarenteed to get into the Ukranian Cup final and the Champions League group stage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnefc22 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I think that this challenge should be renamed the Azeryk challenge Check out the 1000 Appearence Challenge and look at his record Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 If anything, it should be the Andrew Smylie challenge. That guy would have easily hit 2500 goals if I played his career out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest roberto922 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I think he would have hit 3000, damn you getting bored of the save Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnefc22 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 3000?!?!?!?!?! I could never get bored of a save where one of my players could hit 3000. I would see it as a aim and journey. It would be a destiny Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
5ergio Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 If Nep had only holidayed through that save game, his next generation regen could have well hit 5000 Even on holiday mode his regens can score more than 1000 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 One day lads, I may go back and play 5 or 10 more seasons of that, just to see. I've still got FM08 on my computer for that very reason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag man Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Wow, that is a ridiculous goal scoring record. Did you use the corner trick? If not even more impressive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 Nope. I had something similar, but never actually had it on. I did score a few goals from corners, but Smylie's "setting" wasn't "Challenge GK" - He scored so many of his goals from crosses from the wing.

Icelander83 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 That's absolutely sick was just thinking that N-Ireland would be a perfect place to do this but DAMN! 747 goals at 21 is just wrong for so many reasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NepentheZ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 If he stayed around the 200 mark per season, he could quite easily break 3,000. Screw it, I'm going back Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 I can't find the sodding case - No disk = no play. Damn my GF cleaning the game room up. And yea, Barcelona and Arsenal were both interested. Barce kept making bids of around £8,000,000 - but I rejected. Each time I rejected, I offered him a new 5 year deal, to which he kept accepting Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NepentheZ Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 There are 2 places in my house that I keep games boxes. (and trust me, I'm VERY VERY Anal when it comes to games, dvd's and CD's.) - and its not in either place. Just to show you how anal I am, I have every CM / FM game since CM3 - in chronological order. I have all non-series games set into Alphabetical order, and series games (Like, Prince of Persia, GTA, FIFA) - set into chronological order. I have my DVD's Box Sets in order, and alphabetically, and then I have other DVD's first sorted by Genre then alphabetically. For a disk to be missing in my house is something special, for the actual case to be missing, something tragic has happened. I'm actually quite angry its gone. I don't sodding lose disks.
