Hi all, Have many saves with many different team over the years but as an Arsenal fan I can never stay away from them for too long. I find with FM it is hard to stray from the old reliable signings and as a result saves can become boring or the same after awhile. Managing Arsenal in FM16...

Hi, As everyone knows FC Bayern don't reallly need to much messing with, I started a save to mainly complete the first season and then replace proven quality with young talent in the 2nd season straight away eg. Robben, Ribery, Mandzukic, Dante, Schweinsteiger etc. I have noticed that the...

Hi, let me start by saying I do no know how to do SS at the moment, if anyone can guide me I would appreciate it. I understand due to this my Tactic explanation may be limited. I started my season with the usual 4-2-3-1 with wingers. My regular starting 11 was: Sczesney...

Hello, currently Arsenal in January of my second season. I have Giroud and Diego Costa as striker and while both are good neither score more than 1 goal a game every second game and seem to miss more chances then they score. This is causing me to draw games or lose to top teams by the odd goal...

Hi, Gavin here. I have just finished my 1st season with Arsenal, I won the league and league cup. I was not happy with the amount of goals scored against my team so I signed Wanyama as a Ball Winning Mid who will arrive in the Summer. He was a beast in my Southampton save and I got him for 16...

Hi, Currently 2nd, two points behind united in the League - Mid February and have a comfortable gap from 5th place so CL football is looking good. My team scores plenty of goals (top scorers in the league and cups) but my 3 strikers don't. Osvaldo, Rodriguez and Lambert are very inconsistent...

Hi, Currently in January in my Arsenal save. I did find when I first started certain players Star rating was below par. For example Giroud was 3 Stars, Subotic who I signed was also only 3, Ramsay and Arteta were only 3. This is also the case for other saves I have and other players on...

So far on FM14 I have and Everton and Arsenal save. With Everton I lead them to 4th but lost Barry, Lukaku and Delefou at the end of the season, certain players will also be moved on eg. Osman, Gibson, Jelavic, Distin, Oviedo. I have not got a transfer budget yet but I expect 20 mill. With...

Hi, Without sounding stupid. I always have a very high shot attempt and shot on target total and possession ratio at the end of a match. I am Arsenal and my players score goals and mainly have high finishing or goal scoring Attributes also Giroud for example has 15 league goals up until...

Mid-way into my 1st season with Arsenal and doing well.... 1 problem Santi Cazorla, Flamini, Walcott and Podolski are not performing. In Cazorla's case it is due to his PPM for long shots, I am currently trying to change this with training and individual instructions. With the likes of Arteta...

Hi. Does anybody have any experience with getting Santi to perform to his best. I have tried every position across the Midfield and so far he has only had one top game, all others are 6.8 unless my Team destroy the opposition and everyone plays well. He is currently behind Ozil, and Wilshere...

I have a save with Everton, finished 4th and won the FA Cup. I am currently looking to get the Arsenal job as they finished 8th and Wenger may retire or be sacked. If this fails I will start a new game and take charge at the Gooners because the Everton save was only to get me used to the game...

Hi I am new to this forum but have played Football Manager for many years. I have recently lead Everton to 2nd in my first season and I am not sure whether to take over Arsenal if it becomes available or continue to grow with Everton. The reason for this Post is because I lose players in key...
