How is the All Out Attack Challenge going for you up to this point, Managers?

Are you topping the leaderboard? What's been your strategy?

Let us know what you think about this latest challenge.

I am on top, but not doing much for the competition, as I have a very tough league and have to win the games first of all. Tried GK or D for freekicks and penalties at some time periods of games, but no real success.

I'm in 2nd in the all-out attack challenge. I'm playing the keeper in blowouts and against bottom feeders, but another manager has him on all set pieces always; so I doubt i catch up to him since I don't want to increase the risk of dropping points letting him back into the league race. I've had to pull the keeper off set pieces on a couple of occasions, leaving it late, picking up the game winner in 78' and 88' minutes respectively in two league matches.

The problem with using the keeper (or even a defender) on set pieces is this. If I put a subpar player as my set piece specialist, it could turn a draw into a loss, or win into a draw, and the man of the match skill point goes to the opposing managers player. I also have more control over where the skill point goes if i put my aging star on set pieces. The loss of a man of the match skill point, can hurt when trying to maintain the quality of an aging star player.

Yeah but the chances of any of that happening are slim. I have no control who gets motm (usually one of my amr/aml but sometimes my keeper or DMC gets it) so to hope your old player has a chance of a free kick are low and also to be able to score from it is also another chance.

I've had fk specialists in the past score most times. But recently its been half the time. My gk on the other hand scored all his first few free kicks ( he's been missing some recently).

In the grand scheme of things..... Get a younger player? Its so much simpler to let them naturally progress than to try and manipulate the off chance of giving a guy +4% on passing.

I understand where you're coming from. In this case, I happen to have a great player, so if I replace with a younger player, i'm not going to be able to repeat that type of production. It's inevitably going to have to happen, but if I can delay it for a season, it's worth it
