Enjoyed the original version but the throw-ins is just suicide lol. Kept dropping points because of it.
No defenders back and th AI leaving 3 up top to counter me XD
End of season review...
Finished 2nd
League results from my last update (less said about Liverpool game the better)
Managed to lift the FA Cup
And got to the final of the Uefa Cup before getting absolutely spanked by Porto
(Aubameyang missed a pen and we just collapsed)
Ended...
Do you try and build the team from youth players or do you go specifically after capable players in any age?
I try not to sign anyone under the age of 25 at most unless its an urgent need to.
The January window has been and gone and this was the only buisness I really bothered to do apart from...
Finally found a tactic I'm happy with at Arsenal ( I know its a big team etc but being an arsenal fan I rebuild the club every year because quite frankly its a joke what some of them players are on etc)
The tactic still aint familiar yet and I only plugged it in mid December...
Currently in...
Im actually gonna start a different save with Arsenal now I've mentioned it, I'll be letting my DoF etc handle all singings etc to try and make it a bit of a challenge. I'll sell anyone who don't wanna be there and with a focus on youth obviously.
Im gonna assume some key attributes would be...
I love the idea of this style of play, Reminds me of Arsenal early in Wengers days when we'd go from front to back in about 3 passes and usually score (God they were good times).
I've only used this for 45 min so far but what a 45 min it was.. Was losing 1-0 half time to Watford in the league...
So the squad rebuild is pretty much done. Turns out everyone I wanted gone is still here lol.
Had a look at what you said regarding player types on the SI thread and tried to take it on board, Especially regarding the wide men and having a out and out winger/ more of a playmaker type on each...
So I've finished the season and what a finish it was! 3rd to last game of the season 1 point behind Inter.. Who I beat with a 91st min winner! They went on to play me old mates Roma the next game and only managed to draw while I won at Spal..Wrapping up Serie A for me.
Was unlucky in the...
Cheers for the reply, Im actually using the latest version (I follow the SI thread but couldn't make an account over there for some reason).
Well I'm fighting out for the league in feb with the usual suspects and doing ok in Europa League so I'd probably say I'm just below champions league...
So I've moved over to Italy and started a save with Lazio.. It seems there's more than a couple teams that like to stick 8 men behind the ball and shithouse their way through.
Usually in this sort of formation
it pretty much takes my striker out the game which has a knock on effect to the...
Plugged this in at half time against Feyenoord (was 0-0 at the time). Absolutely love how solid it is defensively. Was very shocked/pleased how comfortable the Feyenoord, Dinamo and Ajax games turned out.
The player stats are aren't a accurate representation due to using a different tactic...
This seems to be the biggest issue I've faced so far. 11 games in and I've already conceded 8 goals from set pieces. I have had no success changing them myself. The attacking set plays seem to work a treat though.
Decent start in league 2. Had a bit of a squad overhaul as expected (more players left on free's that haven't come up?) Most of the players i brought in are good/leading national league players with a few decent league 2 players.
Quick update.
Won the league, Broke a few records, won the FA Trophy and that was after losing 2 of my best players in Jan.
Finished top scorers in the league and had the 3rd best defence (which was the weakest part of my squad)
Turning professional now so in theory should perform even...
Normally start with the 2 striker then change to 1 striker after 60/70 min if im winning comfortably. If I'm playing a stronger side like in the cups i'll start with 1 striker and change to 2 if im chasing a goal.
