A few years back someone managed it in the Irish leagues I think on FM, vaguely recall reading something about it on the SI forums
pele score 737 goals in 669 appearances not over 1000 goals
Pele played in Brazil most of his career in 50/60/70's and their standard of league was ***** - he then went to America where the league standard was worse still. If he had tested himself in Europe and still got 1200 goals then that would truly have been impressive, as it is though its a great but slightly misleading statistic.
I have got a friend that had 993 goals with Enzo Zidane.. He wanted 1000 but then he retired and i laughed in his face xD
Josef Bican scored 607 goals in 406 games (league games only).
Ridiculous record 3 goals every 2 games.
Truly FM-esque stats.
best player on my game is a regen names Kamal Yilmaz, has had 3 half season due to injury but apart from that has banged them in every season since he was 18 (now 30).
He's currently on 525 professional goals wih probably another 3 or 4 years of goalscoring ability to go so very much doubt he will make it unless he repeats his feats of last season.....65 goals in 51 games!
If you want a screenshot of him just ask
Why ppst a screenshot of someone who is 475 goals away from 1000? Thats not even close and woulb be better suited to show off your regen thread.
In reality there are very few players to score over 1000 goals, and the only ones I can recall played in South America (ie Pele & Arthur Friedenreich). The Brazilian league wasn't as strong defensively so it was possible back then. Also, nowadays there is a far greater emphasis on fitness and careers are forced to end at a younger age generally.
I would suggest that it isn't possible to do on FM without some form of cheating or manipulation of the match engine (eg corner exploitation tactics etc). At the very least you'd need a world class striker who is v very good at penalties and freekicks too.
Didn't Romario claim he'd done it.. he played in Europe too.
