    By club legend you mean the one that has scored lots of goals or has the highest appearances?

    Generally, yes. From my experience anyway. I’m not sure what the exact parameters are for a player to delay retirement.

    Ive seen the message in favour of my actual AMR, Docherty

    I think that are needed 200 matches min' to be available for a contract extension, then the player with more contribution in first place..
    "I think".. we could open a thread where to track this.

    Didn't happen when my striker won the Top Scorer challenge a couple of seasons ago.
    He took all the bonus skill points and retired.
    Not very realistic.
    Was even more frustrating because he scored a four goals in the final match to overtake my top scorer by one goal.

    I’d have subbed him off when he scored his second.

    That would be awful, but like the other guy said - why not just sub him off to prevent it?

    My team is trolling me for the challenge this season. Opponent has a guy with 19 goals (and his team has only scored 68 total). My team has scored 96 goals total, but I have three different guys that all have 16 and a fourth guy that has 13. Come on, one of you step up, stop sharing the goals! lol

    @Dave1311: Yeah, in hindsight - I'm not sure why I didn't. It's possible I couldn't watch that match, but it might also have been a close match that I needed to win.

    @ZeekLTK: Oh that's annoying, happens to me too. Current top scorer in my league has 22 goals out of his team's 46 goals - his team is only 7th. I have two players in the top 5 with 17 & 16 goals respectively out of my team's 72.
    My flat-mate has 106 goals and his top scorer is second in the challenge with 30, then two players with 18 & 17. But he's 8 goals behind the challenge leader. If only he'd been greedy with his 11 assists.

    Good luck for the last two match days!

    PS: Does anyone else find that wingers score more goals than strikers?
