5 Years to World Domination

Welcome lads and ladettes to my Arsenal story. I will try and get Arsenal to the title of the most reputable team in the world within 5 years. I will refrain from using the searchbar to find FM wonderkids and i will only sign players that I know of in real life. This will place a greater emphasis on my scouting team. I will keep you all updated month by month and post when I have time. I may not have the visual presentation of Brendn, however I will try and keep it clean. I will try and meet any screenshot requests on demand.

​
Keeper: Wojciech Szczesny, David Ospina, Damian Martinez
Defenders: Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers, Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker, Nacho Monreal, Kieran Gibbs
Midfielders: Francis Coquelin, Mathieu Flamini, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Serge Gnabry, Abou Diaby, Jack Wilshere, Mesut Ozil
Forwards: Theo Walcott, Joel Campbell, Lukas Podolski, Danny Welbeck, Olivier Giroud

The 2 areas that seem to need real strengthening are defense and defensive midfield. Coquelin and Flamini don't seem to cut it and Arteta does not have the legs. I and looking to offload Coquelin, Flamini, Rosicky and Diaby. I will provide key updates later on pre season and my transfers.

Sounds good, you going for potential to build in to world class players or are you going to go for the more experienced players?

I'm looking to get a healthy blend. I am building the team around Chambers, Gibbs, Ramsey, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott and Welbeck for a British core of players

So far I've signed:
Javi Martinez

Very easy to sign. 32 million with a few extra in installments. Covering as a 4th choice center back behind Chambers as well as starting holding midfielder. Hands down best in the game.

Very Poor start to pre season against a team we should be beating.

Alexis was quality, however not clinical enough and we should not be conceding 2.

Giroud was excellent on the day with a spectacular match rating. Wilshere is playing his way into my plans with 2 assists.

Very good win against a decent side. Welbeck's 3rd pre season goal. Bad news is, I lost Alexis. :(

The community shield game against City kicks off in 4 days. The injury crisis is starting!

We are finally at the top of the league table....... of the injury league.

We also drew Standard Liege in the Champions League qualifiers. Looks a very straightforward tie, which we should win home and away.

Solid home performance where Cazorla bossed it again! 2 goals 1 assists from him. Shame about no clean Sheet!

Half decent result against the second best team in my group. Should beat them at home and comfortably qualify. Disappointed to concede near half time. Cazorla stole the show again with the assist.

Absolute Shocker! We were horrible in this game and former Gunner Chamakh came to haunt us. Poor defending, combine with Palace's defensive formation lost us the points.

BPL
Man United Away

Huge game at this stage of the season. Hopefully we come out with 3 points. Ozil couldn't play after picking up a strained wrist before the Newcastle game.

What a game! I realised that i'd accidentally set my tactics to overload before the Newcastle game and the first 30 mins of this game. That explains the team being hit on the break. I was getting battered and Szczesny kept us in the game until i changed the tactics to attacking and we took them apart!

My POTM

Javi Martinez edged the Barclays player of the month, however I think that the immense Santi Cazorla deserves it as he has been at the heart of everything and has immense stats.
