The Aim:

Turn a 17 year old kid into a club legend



Why?:

Well, two of the few steam achievements I am yet to unlock are

- 'Generate a Son': Have a player retire after 10 years of service for your club

- 'Club Legend': Spend 20 years at one club



So by concentrating on turning a 17 year old into a club legend I can hopefully achieve both.

If the 17 year old retires at, say, 33 then I'll unlock the Generate a Son achievement AND I'll therefore be around 15/16 years into the 20 years required for the Club Legend achievement.

Rhys Shaw (Melbourne Victory) - post 76 onwards

Manager's History

As you can see I've started this on my long term save so we as 2108 and I'm two seasons into a Norwich career with a newly created manager.

I was going to do this with a fully fledged Norwich youth academy product but the two years batches of youth team player haven't been great so I snapped up young Surman from Swansea.

He had a long term injury preseason so is only returning to fitness now in January and ready to begin his journey.

My guess would be the best player for this is Neal Maupay? Might do it with him on my Fulham Save. I'm already 3 years in.

Oh sorry Danny I was editing the second post so I'll just be doing this on my long term save with a regen/newgen (whatever they are called these days)

Ah right, no worries. Bet he'd be pretty good from the start though, especially if he played past 35 you could have the 20 years managing before he even retired!

His first start and his first goal! Home game against a Blue Square Premier team is always good to blood younsgters.

Game #10

A LEGEND IN THE MAKING?!?



Hollywood stuff this.

10th game is the Capital One Final against Tottenham.

We have a goal disallowed on 70 minutes.

Spurs go up the field and score on 72 minutes.

I wait...and wait...and wait.

Little happens.

So I throw on Surman on 88 minutes. Three strikers on the field now.

Injury time.

93rd minute.

SURMAN!!!! GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!!!!

THE BOY WONDER!!


We go on and win the cup 2-1 in extra time!

#11

Start. First start in the league and hit the woodwork along with another couple of chances yet we somehow lost 2-0 to a team who only had one shot the entire game.

On 69mins. Didn't do much.

#13

On 60mins. As we were battering Real Madrid I threw him on and he missed two glorious chances to score in the Bernabeu against the mighty Real Madrid.

Off 45mins. Started and scored but the second choice striker who Surman has replaced is moaning about lack of game time so I will rotate the two of them in the next few games and maybe sell the second choice at the end of the season.

Off 45mins. Another 45min cameo and another goal. Improving all the time and we are running away with the league so he should get plenty of starts in the remaining games.

Very interesting idea mate. Do you only get the achievement in steam if you play it on classic mode or can you get it on both modes?
 
2108??? If i Played fm for almost 100 season my laptop would internally combust.

Good luck on it tho, I'll be following

Sub off 74mins. A goal and an assist. Easily his best performance thus far.

Full 90. Seen plenty of the ball and set up a goal but couldn't manage one himself.

View attachment 375590


#18

Sub off 45. Wasn't playing well and second choice striker was itching for a game.

View attachment 375589


#19

Full 90. Set up a goal but otherwise quiet as Sullivan scored 4 and stole the show.

View attachment 375588


#20

Full 90. Another assist. At least if you don't score them then set them up.

Will follow this as I like the idea.
How do you get that far in a save?!Wouldn't you get bored?

Done the Pentagon Challenge and a few other things. Once I feel bored I resign and go to a different club or country.
