I am going into my second season with Arsenal. I won the Premier League my first year, but naturally I am still trying to improve the team for the future. My main line up last year was as follows in a 4-2-3-1
-------------Szcz------------
-Sagna--Merte-Verm-Monreal
------------------------------
------Wilshere-Ramsey-----
-Walcott----Cazorla----Ox--
------------Jovetic-----------
I have not sold any players, so Arshavin, Rosicky, Mertesacker, Gervinho, Poldolski, Arteta, Diaby, Gibbs, Giroud all got decent playing time through rotation. Diaby had a 7.5 rating and started until Wilshere came back and then split time almost 50/50 with Ramsey.
I have a few transfer targets in mind, but I wanted to get the FM-base opinion on what good moves would be/
Radja Nianggolan from Cagliari is transfer listed for £9.5m and PSG, Liverpool, and United have all had bids excepted. I was thinking of buying him to play next to Wilshere as a more destroyer type midfielder than Ramsey, but I am concerned about stunting Ramsey's growth if he doesn't get as much game time. Mario Götze is also transfer listed and I am naturally just interested because he's one of the best attacking midfielders in the game. He would start on the left (or maybe Cazorla). I would then have to bump Chamberlain from the starting line up or push him to the right wing and bump (and probably sell) Walcott, since he won't be happy on the bench and I could get 30m for him most likely. I am also tempted to go for Kurt Zouma or another young CB and letting Djourou (coming back form loan with Hannover) go. Mertesacker and Koscielny both did really well last year, 7.4-7.5 rating.
Hopefully this wasn't an information overload. I'd appreciate any advice.
