2015 Around the world in 800 goals

Around the world in 800 goals

Another goal based challenge, not quite as intensive as the 1kc but just as fun! So the title is "around the world in 800 goals"... What could that mean? Before reading on, have a think about what challenge could be made from the name...

With the 1kc you can make life as easy as possible by ploughing away in Brazil or Holland/Portugal and hope to knock off half of your tally before moving up to the big leagues. Well my challenge puts a bit of restriction on that, limiting the amount of time you can spend in one country. Let me explain how to play...


How to play

While setting up your game you need to load 4 leagues (sorry to those who can't!). The first needs to be either Brazil or Australia. The second can be a choice between Belgium, Portugal, Holland or any of the UK teams (excluding England). Third and Fourth have to be from the top nations - England, Germany, Italy, France or Spain. Fear not about loading Brazil, you can still set the start date to that of one of your European teams.

When you pick the team to start your challenge, it needs to be a top flight team. It doesn't matter which nation you start in, but the team must be top flight.

Next comes the player. It can be any player you feel like using, but take note, upon completion of this challenge you can still go for the 1k gold which we all covet. That in mind, I see youth being a popular choice for this.

So your game's set up, your at your first club, and you've chosen a player. Next, you need to score 200 goals. League, cup and continental goals count. International don't, so don't let that sway your judgement when choosing the player.

Once you've conquered your first nation by scoring 200 goals, it's time to move countries and take your star forward with you. The idea is to rinse and repeat until you've scored 200 goals in each of your 4 chosen nations. Obviously, it's not always possible to move and that isn't important. If you can't find a job where you can afford your striker then carry on doing what you're doing. But you can't add to the 200 until you change countries. This also means that you will have to be clever about where you start your journey. You can't expect to begin at Barca and after 3 years take the likely WPOTY to Portugal or Brazil etc. This challenge will take skill and tact as well as perseverance.


The rules

The usual malarkey, no editing the game or saving and reloading and such



That's it. I've given this a go and though not completed it yet, found it to be great fun. This is the first save where I've travelled quite often and if you haven't done it before I highly suggest it. While playing, remember that by following the rules of this, on completion you're still legally playing the 1kc and that could be the end goal for a lot of members attempting this. Or for those who struggle to hit the 1k, this is an alternative to have a go at, and see what happens afterwards.


Thanks for reading, if anyone likes the concept or feels like having a go be sure to let us know!

Another one I need to try.

I'll quit posting challenges for a bit and do some of the 'forgotten' ones in here.

I can see myself topping the leaderboard on this one.
