2013 The new Messi?

[anfieldsquirrel]

Alright lads? Just a little career Idea I had. I'm going to try something a little different on here! I'm going to attempt to beat all of Messi's records (which are available in game) with a younger Argentinian striker. At first I was thinking about Facundo Ferreyra because I've liked him in previous games. But after a bit more research I decided to pick someone with Similar positions to Messi. I found a young striker who can play up front an on the right just like Messi! He goes by the name of Valentin Viola! I've never heard of him before and his stats looked abit risky. But after IT his stats are awesome!

He is a decent young player and Messi has a lot of records and honours. Ill try and beat them all!

Records to beat

• Most goals in a calendar year: 91
  
• Most goals in a season: 73
  
• Most goals in a European Cup season: 14 (jointly with Jose Altafini)
  
• Most goals in a La Liga season: 50
  
• Most La Liga hat-tricks in a season: 8
  
• Most European Cup top scorer awards: 4 (with Gerd Mueller)
  
• Most goals in a single European Cup game: 5
  
• Most goals scored in Spanish Super Cup: 10
  
• Most consecutive La Liga matches scored in: 10
  
• Most goals in Club World Cup: 4 (held jointly with Denilson)
  
• Barcelona's top goalscorer in all official competitions: 286
  
• Barcelona's record goalscorer in Champions League: 56
  
• Most La Liga hat-tricks: 15
  
• Most Ballon D'ors: 4
  
• First player to score in 4 consecutive champions league competitions
  
• most goals scored in a year with country: 12
  
  
  Other achievements to beat:
  
  
• 5 La Ligas
  
• 2 Spanish cups
  
• 5 Spanish super cups

Great idea AS I probably would have gone with Ocampos, although that would make it a lot easier

I was thinking Ocampos, he's 2/3 years younger. But I wanted to find my own gem and have a bit more of a challenge

[Ollie]

Could have tried someone who is not Argentinian

But looks tough, good luck

[anfieldsquirrel]

But I fancied getting the argentine records aswell

[Ashez]

We were going to do a head to head with this with me using the new Ronaldo since they have a rivalary in real life but i couldn't find a player matching AS rules lol.

Good luck mate, really looking forward to this .

Also it's also a nice way to hide a 1000 goal challenge

[Obika]

Surely it should be the "next Messi"! He's still around!

[jakebanno]

Good Idea, Good Luck

[the united guy]

[Andeva]

[anfieldsquirrel]

[j10hurman]

Very good idea, I was gonna do something like it, but you beat me to it ...... Ahaha following with interest, good luck!

[anfieldsquirrel]

Sorry mate I've been planning it for a while though

[Snoopy]

Good luck AS, will definately be watching this forum

Great idea AS, will definately be following this!

[Sunny]

I'm actually managing Sporting now to test a tactic lol, used Viola a few times but I chose Rubio, van Wolfswinkel and M. Suarez over him. Doesn't get much chances on the wing either, as I have Bruma, Wellington Nem, and Carrillo

Good luck with it mate

[anfieldsquirrel]

Cheers guys

Sunny - he seems to be doing great for me :lol:

[Afahrezaaa]

Interesting, followed this topic

[anfieldsquirrel]

Season 1

Due to the fact I had to load brazil as the main league to have a chance at international management, I had to start in mid January! This means he only had half a season to start with!

League when I joined

Liga BBVA

Spanish Cup

Already knocked out when I joined

Spanish Super Cup

They lost this before I started

Champions League

Me!

Viola

So no records broken in his first half season. But there's still a long way to go!

[Ashez]

Great going mate

[Lewiitom]

[anfieldsquirrel]

[rafa]

Great challenge, following!

[anfieldsquirrel]

Cheers Rafa!

Tom- he's starting to get jaded mid season

[Keraviln]

Woot good work!!!

Anfield, try resting him for a few matches on the bench as he watches the guy he's meant to beat destroy teams with skill (Unless you sold Messi... You didn't sell him did you?)

[anfieldsquirrel]

Messi is with barca B now :lol:

[Ashez]

They/he doing well??
