Theo Walcott's 2013-14 season. Incredible.

WOW! That's quality mate..
Is that as a poacher, if so what formation you playing and hows your team looking? :)
Just had to start a new save today, because of my stupid little sister haha!
Any recommendations?

Nope. He had failed to negotiate a new contract with Barca for 2 seasons for various reasons and therefore had just over 1 year remaining on his deal. Guess he thought it would be best to move to the best club in the world... I have managed to win practically everything in my 4/5 seasons in charge and have finally managed to leap-frog man utd in the league.

Downside is he does get £28k per appearance and goal... loyalty bonus of £7m, agent fee of £5, team of the year bonus of £1.4m...

Well that works out a bit more expensive that I though before. I did a few sums in my head and that could cost you about £60 million to have him for the first season. Hope he performs like he did at Barca.

I hadn't even thought of it like that... I play him every other game, with the vast amount of players and competitions I fight for, rotation is key. Still, he had a cracking half-season. 12 games, 12 goals and 13 assists.

Yup, Poacher Attack on Raikan's 4-5-1 Swoop tactic. Haven't made any transfers in the off season so my team remains:

Szczesny
Sagna Chygrynskyi Vermaelen Cissokho
Song
Wilshere Ramsey
Gaitan ---------------------- Gervinho
Walcott

​

Gaitan took around 20 matches to get used to the English league, my tactic and a new position which was incredibly frustrating, but I stuck with him and he's now a top performer.

Just finished pre season after starting my new Arsenal save last night. Screenshots provided of my transfers, fixtures and my tactic I'll be using throughout the season.

Superb pre-season mate, well done. You didn't really need to spend so much on few players because Arsenal have bags of talent on the game. What's happening with van Persie? Can't be warming the bench every week, surely? On every save I have at the moment, van Persie's out-scored Cavani every time. But hey, it's your game :)

If you're super confident, stick by Gibbs. He's a great performer (always averages 7.10-7.30 a season) but spends half the year on the physio bench so you may want to look into replacing him sooner rather than later.
 
UEFA semi-finals. Beat Man U 9-4 Aggregate. First game was 7-2 hehe
 
Just signed aguero with with a wage bill of 150K and I forgot that Hummels has highest wage earner clause. *FACEPALM*

My last game was knocking out holders Man Utd out the carling cup at old trafford in the 1//4 finals.

thanks yo. but atm, im struggling to get full fitness for him, and this season also he's been injured 3 times, each for 3-4weeks :(.

im not in a mode to change tactics atm, but i just have a plan C set as raikans swoop tactic. so far i im playing a 4-2-3-1 formation, and the RW is his for the taking, set at an attacking role. with cavani in the front, and hazard in the left. he does well though btw, its just injures killing him

how much did danny Sturridge cost Calum?. some how he gets transfer list in 2nd season or something. lol
 
he moved on a free 4th season in my save to a promoted Derby... 14 games without a goal. the transfer window update path cannot come soon enough! going to give Villa a go, so I can play all those wonderkids from day 1 instead of playing RvP & Cavani in rotation for 3 years and then finally giving mBaye a shot after 4 seasons... (bagged 20 goals, 2 hat-tricks in his first season playing regularly).
