Gold 🥇 - 5 points - Win Euro 2024 without conceding

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA ¡you're completely insane! 😂🤦‍♂️

Tell me about it, I tried a tactic without any defenders and well….. this one is going to take a few tries 

There is no way this is possible without some sort of save scumming.. or at the very least FMRTE to make players capable of playing CB/FB

And if you ask yourself if i did any of those yeah, reloaded against England like 20x to figure out any way to get a tactic that works into the top nations not much else i can do.

haaaahahaha Always conceded by Header 

means its a good challenge to wheedle out the CHEATS

Wow, this is a new idea. Anyone who gets a gold you can probably rule out for all eternity. 

I do however have an idea for a tactic in mind - played with it a while back on a rtg. Let's see if Donnarumma can play CB🤣

Gonna boot it up first thing tmrw

THIS CHALLENGE WAS SO INSANE

pt-br

Loucura!!
Foi uma experiencia muito boa, de fato um belo desafio. Em resumo, consegui adaptar minha tática que uso faz algum tempo com algumas instruções extras para favorecer a ausência de defensores. O que consegui foi vencer e vencer, marquei uma quantidade significativa de gols, mas meu grande inimigo foi não sofrer gols. Incrivelmente dificil conseguir ser campeão sem sofrer alguns gols. Tentei de tudo para não tomar mais de 3 gols mas mesmo assim falhei, acabei tomando 5 gols. Nas etapas finais acabei pegando frança alemanha e espanha, extremamente dificil não conceder gols ao adversário.
Acabei utilizando a experiencia e bons atributos (digamos...jogadores mais completos) do Verratti e Barella para jogar como wingbacks, para zagueiros tentei utilizar os melhores em marcação e desarme.

en-us

Crazy!!
It was a great experience, a great challenge indeed. In short, I managed to adapt my tactics that I have been using for some time with some extra instructions to make the most of the absence of defenders. What I managed to do was win and win, I scored a significant number of goals, but my biggest enemy was not conceding goals. It is incredibly difficult to be champion without conceding a few goals. I tried everything to not concede more than 3 goals but I still failed, I ended up conceding 5 goals. In the final stages I ended up facing France, Germany and Spain, it was extremely difficult not to concede goals to the opponent.
I ended up using the experience and good attributes (let's say... more complete players) of Verratti and Barella to play as wingbacks, for defenders I tried to use the best in marking and tackling.

Also guys remember to only submit the games in the euros, the game against turkey at the beginning of the save will not  go towards point totals

when you say no defenders, does it also apply to people who are versatile (CDMs who can play CB, LWs who can play LB) or only primary defenders. what about regens and youth players? are they also unavailable? 💀. Imagine the Kings of Defence having no defenders, this challenge is going to be hard. I swear, anyone who wins without conceding has cheated. even Man City and Madrid concede. 

hahaha, great challenge, let's see what happens next

Okay, it's possible, but you have to play total anti-football.

The worst part was the lack of fun I had during this challenge. A nasty challenge, a nasty game and a lot of luck to make it possible.

Of course I can share the game save because I know it stinks.

For goals scores/conceded I left out the 4-3 penalty shootout win with Turkey and just counted the 2 goals each team scored

so, I found two players who weren't injured but it's already late (I've registered my squad) . is it cheating if we get these lads in?

uffffffffff, stressful, tough and very, very difficult (I had to use excel again to choose the best defender roles) but SILVER at last!!!! oeeeeeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeeeeeeee

PS: I've played two friendlies in preparation, but I've only scored in the European Cup goals in this form.

🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳

Thought it might be feasible to win a Bronze at least, after winning friendlies without conceding against Turkey and Belgium, but all fell apart in the tournament itself. Might try again.

This was challenging to say the least. Insigne was atrocious in the earlier games. His passing was sloppy and his finishing was so bad, the only net he was hitting was his Wi-Fi connection! But he delivered when it mattered most - in the final. Zaccagni, Miretti, Frattesi and Jorginho performed commendably at the back although we shipped in 14 goals, but that was down to my reckless tactics. "Il sole splende anche dopo la tempesta." 

Don't forget to share your tactics everyone, i'm interested to know what you all came up with!

In hindsight should've just gone for much more direct passing since this is basically counter style but whatever worked out in the end (apart from goals conceded but we don't talk about that…)

anyone that says they've done this without conceding a goal has got to be a liar and a cheater😂🤪🧐🤥

🤥

I've submitted the final against France as a draw, since it was 1-1 in regular time. Therefore 6 wins and 1 draw, I guess that's the right way to do it.

Could you post your save file? Would love to just look through it really quick. 

a difficult challenge I won the final but as far as conceding 3 goals or less that's quite difficult with no defenders.

Tough one for sure. Not even sure it's still possible not to concede.

Edit: Please delete 🙂)

Great stuff! Good job! Just wondering as well - @Footygamer - if there is a penalty shootout win, should it be listed as a draw or a win?

I am gonna replay it in a while. Gonna try n play full anti-football (0-0 every game hehe).

Draw for penalties please 🙂

sorted

Okay, it is possible to win but I highly doubt it is possible to get multiple 3-4 goal wins. Cheesed it so bad this time. 

Happy to send game file if someone wants to take a look at it. 

This is the tactic I used which somehow worked. Not very goal productive - but it worked like a charm for keeping clean sheet, with a huge thanks to Donnarumma for saving our asses more times than we had chances.

Never doing this again - that's for sure.
