Most people play arsenal in a 4-4-2 with attacking wingers or a 4-2-3-1 also with wingers
but i prefer to play a 4-3-1-2 with 2 wing backs, 3 centre mids and an attacking mid?
what is your opinion on how best to play arsenal?
Also when starting a new arsenal save i usually sell rosicky for 7.5 mil to villa, sign lukaku (6 mil), ochoa (2.5 mil), Areola (2.5 mil) Sissoko, Dodo, kadlec and Toloi/galeano are these the best transfers to make or...?

That's a lot of signings you don't really need mate. Lukaku is a very good player and Ochoa is a good keeper, but you don't need Areola because Sczczsney gets very good. No need for Kadlec either if you have Lukaku and other good strikers in the academy/reserves like Benik Afobe. Toloi/Galeano isn't really necessary either and too many signings can disrupt the balance of your team and take longer to gel.

Use this 4-2-3-1 tactic with WBs designed for Arsenal, plays beautiful football and gets results!

yea thanks so i'll defs sign lukaku, ochoa and sissoko?
would it be worth buying dodo (he's availible for just a couple of million max) or will gibbs become a world class left back?
No need for Kadlec either

yea good point also there is vela and walcott so they will become great players :)
the problem with playing with wingers is that there is like no1 in the arsenal team whos natural position is on the wing so i thought it would be better to have them in the natural positions ?

The tactic I posted doesn't use wingers, but inside forwards, so you can play Arshavin/Nasri on the left and RVP/Walcott on the right. The other advantage is that you can play another striker on the RW because he swaps with the ST, so you can play, e.g. RVP on the right and Chamakh up front and they'll both chip in with goals. It also means that, like you wanted you have WBs who push up and get the ball into the box for tall players like Chamakh, RVP, Lukaku!

I think Gibbs will become very good if played enough, rotate him with Clichy and play him in cup games and he'll become a class LB but if you buy Dodo cheaply then you can see which turns out better and sell t'other!
 
Walcott as a winger is pretty good, he notched up 10 assists and scored 9 goals in 31 premier league games for my side in the first season! I'd keep Rosicky, he does a good job in my opinion, and instead of signing galeano/toloi, I would spend a little more and get someone like Mexes or even Subotic if you can afford him.

Tbh Koscielny and Squillaci as well as Vermaelen have been very good on my save, but if you were to invest in a CB, i'd go for Neven Subotic from Dortmund or Toby Alderweield from Ajax. Mexes was very cheap on the demo but I've never signed him before. Not much point in keeping Rosicky as you can get a decent amount of money for him and you have Wilshere/Lansbury/Fabregas/Nasri/Arshavin/Diaby who can all play AMC just as well if not better.

how is this formation and signings so far?

Fine, but as I said use that tactic I posted ;)

Also, don't play Fabregas there - he's wasted behind an AMC, switch him with Sissoko if that's how you're lining up.
 
yea i normally play him on the right centre mid but its just the assistant put him there in the scout report and i would have sissoko behind the attacking mid as a ball winning midfielder
yea i'll give ur tactic a try tho ;)
