Transfers look quite good, what formation have you set up with?

I'm not that great at tactics on this version, so I'm using 2 tactics with 4-2-3-1 : counter attack for tougher away games and a shorter passing/possession-based for the home games.

Player Performances

I think two positions are taken care of - right wing and right back. Walcott & Chamberlain, and Coleman & Jenkinson are settling well into my rotation policy. Coleman might have been brought in as a first-team player, but Jenkinson is providing some great competition.

It is clear that Werner must be given time (below-par performances), and I wouldn't be worried if only Giroud started scoring regularly.

Szczesny has also been one of our top players so far, with five clean sheets in 8 games.

Nice one, top of the table at the perfect time! Great result against Dortmund too :)
 
I hate how messi always wins the awards no matter how average his season was.

He does win it a lot but look at his Average rating over the 21 matches he has played. An average rating over 8 over 20+ is nearly outstanding.
 
Fantastic results, keep it up.

That happens in everybody's game. Messi's rating over the first 5 years will always be 7.8-8.0.
 
Looking forward to the 2nd half of the season now, some great signings by the 1st manager and long may this save continue....keep up the good work all!!!
 
thanks for all the encouragement, guys. I'm glad that my six months were successful and hopefully, Andrewpage14 can continue the success!
